==Biography==
===Peter Pan===
Before the opening, Nana had attacked Peter Pan at the window and miraculously got his shadow when he was listen to Wendy's stories about him.
Nana lived in the home of the Darling Family as the family dog nursemaid. While the Darling Family has many opinions of Peter Pan, as a dog she kept her opinions to herself. Nana was seen caring the children and loved them as if they were like her own pups. While she was seen tiding the nursery, and setting tonics for the children, she with tries to tidy the building blocks that George Darling keeps knocking over the floor when she had just finished those, much to her annoyance. Like the children and Mary Darling, she was shocked to hear a decision that George spat out angrily that Wendy must grow up. When George begins to storm out the room, he accidentally trips over her. Both fall, but the rest of the family only comforts Nana instead of George. Angrilly feeling neglected, she takes Nana outside, vowing there will be no more dogs for nursemaids. Michael says and waves goodbye to Nana, who waves back at him. When in the backyard, George couldn't find the rope to tie Nana up, but Nana, even though she doesn't like it, has it and loyally hands it to him. While she is heartbroken, George expresses sympathy for her and tries to assure him that it's nothing personal, but it's just that she is really a nurse but a dog. He then tells her that aren't puppies but people and that they are gonna grow up someday as he fills her bowl with water and pats her head goodnight.
When Peter Pan came back as George and Mary were leaving for a party, Peter watches Nana go to sleep before he makes for the Nursery window. Later when Peter was teaching the children to fly and off to Neverland, Nana wakes up when hearing his shouts and too her shock and horror, she spots all the children flying out the window. She barks out at them, and then Michael spreads some of Tinker Bell's pixie dust onto her. She begins to fly but is held back by the leash still attached to her collar and is left waving at them.
Near the end of the movie, when George and Mary came home, they let Nana back into the house, much to her happiness. George had changed his mind about Wendy, assuring he never meant what he said earlier in the movie, for he was just very upset. When they entered the nursery, they find Wendy not in bed but sleeping near the window, as Nana reunites with her by waking her with friendly licks. After George unties Nana, Nana sets the boys comfortably in their beds while they are both asleep. Then suddenly, Everyone, including George, who was shocked, spotted the Jolly Roger flying and sailing in the sky George asks Nana in amazement if she sees what he saw, and she barks excitedly with confirmation. George confesses with joy that he remembers that he seen the ship before when he was very young. Nana then joins Wendy, George, and Mary as they watch Peter Pan fly away on the Jolly Roger.
===Peter Pan II: Return to Neverland===
Nana has a descendant named after her, Nana II.
===Jake and the Never Land Pirates===
Nana returned first time in an episode of Jake and the Never Land Pirates called "Battle For the Book". But this time, she earned a bigger role like the Darling Children. She was first seen listening to Wendy with the boys she reads a book about Peter's adventures. Captain Hook bursts into the nursery and steals Wendy's book, which is her reminder of the many memories and adventures of her and the outstanding, brave Peter Pan. Nana tries to stop Hook by attacking him but failed. Jake and his pirate friends then come to the nursery to take Wendy, John, Michael and Nana to Neverland to rescue the book, with the help of Peter Pan. This was Nana's first adventure to Neverland.
==Trivia==
*Like all the Pan characters, she is based off her character from the book, but instead of a saint bernard, she was originally a Landseer Newfoundland, based off of J. M. Barrie's dog, Luath.
*There was a concept where Nana was riginally journey to Neverland with Wendy, John, and Michael and have a comical subplot chasing after Tinker Bell. But that side of the story got scrapped. However, the concept was recycled when she did go to Neverland with Wendy, John, and Michael in the Jake and the Never Land Pirates movie, Battle for the Book.
