Polly Plummer

Polly Plummer is introduced as an 11-year-old London girl in The Magician's Nephew. She becomes involved when she and Digory Kirke receive rings crafted or distributed by Uncle Andrew, which cause them to vanish into the Wood between the Worlds. Through its pools they visit other worlds (including the ruined world of Charn) and then witness Aslan's creation of Narnia; she later remains one of the lifelong "friends of Narnia" who are summoned to aid the land and, after dying in a railway accident as described in The Last Battle, is transported to Aslan's country.

As depicted in the cited summaries, Polly is an 11-year-old girl in The Magician's Nephew (set in 1900) noted more for her practical steadiness than for detailed physical traits. In The Last Battle she appears as a 60-year-old adult in earthly chronology; after death she and Digory are described as becoming young again and being dressed as royalty (referred to as Lady Polly). The available sources supply no further consistent physical description.

Polly possesses no intrinsic supernatural powers in the sources. Her notable capacities are moral and behavioral: practicality, caution, emotional steadiness, loyalty, and friendship which balance Digory Kirke's temperament. She participates in magical events (travel via Uncle Andrew's rings and the pools of the Wood between the Worlds; witnessing Aslan's creative act) but these are narrative mechanisms and not presented as personal magical abilities. She is later among the human "friends of Narnia" who are received into Aslan's country after death.
