Description
Peter is a supporting character in the anime A Little Princess Sara and was created specifically for this adaptation, as he does not appear in the original novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. He is a boy from a poor family living in London who works as a carriage driver. He is introduced when his father, who was originally supposed to drive Sara's carriage, is suddenly injured, and Peter is allowed to take over the job with Sara's help. From that point onward, he serves as Sara's coachman and becomes one of her most dependable companions in the city. In appearance, he is a young boy with blonde hair cut to ear length and purple eyes.
His personality is cheerful, active, and energetic, and he can sometimes be a little insolent or cheeky in his manner. Beneath that lively exterior, however, he is friendly, good-hearted, and genuinely helpful. He is also described as a respectful but slightly silly driver of Sara's coach. One of his most defining traits is his deep gratitude toward Sara, whom he continues to view as the gentle little princess who once helped him secure his job. Because of this reverence, he initially refuses to address her informally, and Sara has a hard time convincing him to simply call her Sara.
Peter's motivations are rooted in loyalty, gratitude, and a desire to repay Sara's kindness. As a boy from a poor household, he is also practical and resourceful, and the job of driving her carriage matters greatly to him and his family. He knows the streets of London and the markets well, and he uses this local knowledge to help Sara navigate the city, especially since she arrives in London unfamiliar with the world outside her privileged life in India.
His role in the story is that of a loyal friend and ally who stands by Sara regardless of her circumstances. When Sara is falsely accused of arson and cast out of the seminary, Peter is the one who gives her shelter, letting her stay at his family's home while she begins selling matches on the street. Throughout her fall from wealth and her difficult life as a servant, he remains one of the friends who support her and never abandons her. He also shows his affection in small gestures, such as giving her a canary as a birthday present.
His key relationships center on Sara and his parents. His bond with Sara develops from that of a grateful employee into a true friendship, though he never loses his admiration for her. His parents, his father and his mother, are part of his home life and are present in his household when Sara comes to stay with them. In terms of development, Peter grows from a cheerful street boy who happens to drive Sara's carriage into a steadfast and dependable friend whose loyalty does not waver even when her fortune changes completely. His notable abilities include driving horses and carriages, knowing his way around the streets and markets of London, and being quick, active, and resourceful in practical situations.
