Relationships
Hana Lee
He is one of Hana's suitors, but she is uninterested in him despite her father's demands to court him. At the end of Book 2, Hana tells him off, tells him that she will never be interested in him, and that his suit will never be his color. This leads to a mutual dislike but doesn't amount to more as Neville turns his attentions onward to insulting Drake.
Drake Walker
Neville dislikes Drake for his 'commoner' status and takes several chances to belittle and tease him. He says Drake doesn't have the temperament, but continues to goad the latter. After Drake publicly humiliates him, he challenges him to a duel of honor. In Book 3, Chapter 21, Neville has a change of heart and asks Drake to forgive his previous attitude. It is your choice to encourage Drake to let bygones be bygones or call Neville a sniveling twerp.
Madeleine
In various chapters of Book 3, it appears that Neville is trying to gain Madeleine's attentions. Except for Chapter 3, where she indulges him with a dance, she usually shuns him and rhetorically asks why he is talking to her.
