**Neil Bowman** (尼尔·鲍曼, Ní ěr·bào màn) is the main character of the *All Saints Street* manhua and donghua series.

Both in the donghua and the manhua starts with him going to China to live at 1031 All Saints Street with his friend Ira Blood.

## Appearance

Neil is a young demon with big golden eyes, wavy white hair and short brown horns. Like every other demon, he has goat ears and a red pointy tail. He is also relatively short. Although his eyes are golden in the manhua, they appear slightly darker in the donghua.

He usually wears a range of comfortable clothing, such as multicolored hoodies, sweatshirts and t-shirts.

## Personality

Neil is well-meaning and naïve, being new to the mortal realm at the beginning of the series and eager to coexist with humans. Upon learning that no residents of 1031 are human, he is comedically disappointed. Neil loves China and is naturally curious, trying his best to learn more about its culture. However, he is very uninformed and first shows up to China wearing a traditional tangzhuang, not knowing that people don't regularly wear it. He spends much of the early manhua getting into trouble and making mistakes, although he grows accustomed to his surroundings later on.

Despite being a demon, Neil is incredibly kind-hearted and wouldn't hurt a soul... unless he's eating one. He is incredibly friendly and quick to befriend the residents of 1031, but has a habit of letting people treat him unfairly due to his conflict-avoidant nature.

Neil is also determined, leaving home against his parents' wishes to live with his online friend in Beijing. He tries his best at his gruelling pet shop job to spend time with the panda shopkeeper, and (despite being anxious) romantically pursues Lily despite her brother Lynn's attempts to stop him.

## Early life

Neil was a quiet outcast as a child, often being bullied because he wasn't strong or evil enough. He was never good at school, which regularly required him to perform evil actions. His brother Nick Hoult didn't help with this situation, often hurting and making fun of him. This lead to a strained relationship between the two which has lasted into adulthood. However, his relationships with both his parents were strong, and he was often seen confiding in his mother.
