## Personality

At the beginning of the book, we meet a grumpy kid who doesn't care much about anything, not even family. When his brother L''alkamal is put in danger while fighting a rakkhosh, he just sits on his horse. However, later in the book, we see a new side of Neel (short for Neelkamal). A loving, caring side of Neel is uncovered. We see how much he loves his family. Of course, he can get annoyed and can be sarcastic. Neel is a smart, funny guy, and has an obvious crush on Kiranmala. He also has a habit of biting his nails when nervous or scared. He is never tired and is a quick healer. This is because Neel is a half-rakkhosh.

## Biography

Neelkamal, also known as Neel is a 12 (possibly 13) year-old prince from the Kingdom Beyond Seven Oceans and Thirteen Rivers. He is the son of Pinki - The Demon Queen - and Raja Fatteshwar Orrebaba aka Rontu - The King of the Kingdom Beyond. He resides in the palace of The Kingdom Beyond with his Father, Step-Moms & Step-Brothers, Buddha, Boothoom and Lalkamal. He also has an adopted little sister Bogli, a rakkhoshi that's part of the water clan.

## Appearance

Neel is stated to be the other "cute" guy around Kiran's age. He is a broad-bodied boy who has black hair that "stands on an end" when he brushes his hand through it & has brown eyes. He mostly wears blue, considering his name is Neel, which means blue in Bengali.

## Relationships

### Kiranmala

 Neel & Kiran have a thick & thin type of relationship. While it's clear that both have feelings for each other, they mostly keep it to constant bickering & disapproval. At first, Neel thought of Kiran as a simple 2-D(2-dimensional) who probably was a waste of time, but slowly he realized she was just like him; isolated, headstrong & witty. They both have at least one non-human parent & both stand up for what they think is right. Sometimes they let their guard down for each other, however, the other times (whitch is most of the time) they act as if the other has the plague.

In the first book, when Kiran is about to be turned into a snake by the serpent king, Neel refuses for it to happen and announces that he like Kiran the way she is. At the end, when Kiran asks Neel to go to the movies with her, he blushes. These actions may hint that our half-demon prince may like Kiran. With the second book’s adventure, Neel attempts (not very successfully) to prevent Kiran from coming to rescue him from the Rakkhoshi detention camp. It can be inferred that he didn’t want her to get hurt, or worse, killed whilst doing so. In the 3rd book (The Chaos Curse) Neel's voice cracks “in a funny way” when he says they should hold hands(probably for safety purposes), another sign he likes her. They also have a \*very\* sweet moment backstage underneath the stars at the end of the book. The only times that they fight are usually when they are on missions. When they are not on missions, they often exchange jokes with each other and are rather agreeable and good-natured.

As mentioned above, Neel and Kiran have a hot and cold friendship. Despite their frequent banter and disputes, they never hesitate to risk their own lives for the other. For instance, Neel saves Kiran at the beginning of the first book while fighting a Rakkhosh at her house. The two also flee for their lives after being chased by Neel’s fangirls. He even offers her his jacket to keep her warm. After escaping Sesha and Tuni almost dies, Neel gives Kiran silent comfort. Also, when Sesha tortures Neel with his powers, Kiran saves him. The two will always be there for each other.
