I know Tiger Lily seems a lot like Tinker Bell, but I spotted a few differences between the two.

1. Tinker Bell lost her wings because she broke the fairy rules. She was forced to give them up. While Tiger Lily implied that she gave them up, probably because she felt somehow responsible for what happened to the Black Fairy. Also, Tinker Bell doesn't feel responsible for what happened to Regina, but thought that she could help her. 2. Tink was helping a human soul. In the case of Tiger Lily, I don't think she was in charge of looking over the Black Fairy, that's pretty much Blue's job, to look all over the other fairies. What I think is that, Tiger Lily was a close friend of the Black Fairy and she felt that she failed to her as a friend and she felt so wrong about it that she gave up her fairy lifestyle.

As for why both of them ended up in Neverland, I think it's just because they are part of Peter Pan story in the original fairytale so the writers probably thought it was cool to put them there even tho they aren't very much related to Pan in the show.

I also have another theory. I think fairies don't age because of the magic of their wings and fairy dust, but since these two were no longer fairies, maybe they wanted to go to a place where they didn't have to age.
