Detective duo from the night department

***

That’s Neville with his rival/co-worker, Enoch Willowperch.

Enoch is an eurasian eagle owl and works as a detective at the Woodland Police Department, just like Neville. Coming from a rich and influential family, he’s suave and full of confidence. Also, unlike the true neutral Neville, he’s a lawful good character with a strong sense of justice.

For one thing he’d uphold law and order at (almost) any cost. He’s also a father of two owlets and a loving husband. But beneath all his confidence and discipline he’s still got his own inner struggles. Enoch plays an important rule in Neville’s story/character arc.

Long story short: even though these two used to be pals at the police academy, now this eagle owl triggers the green-eyed monster in Neville with his mere presence. 😅 That’s because for Neville, Enoch seems to be perfect, he seems to have everything he only can dream of. Not to mention, despite him being about the same age as Neville, Enoch was already promoted as commander, he can play an active part in the investigations, while all he’s allowed to do is mundane paperwork. Basically everything about him just feeds Neville’s jealousy and inferiority complex.

That rivalry is pretty much one-sided though, considering Enoch sees him as an adorkable, fun little bird, who brings constant smile to his face. (Of course Neville reads that as gloating/mocking.)

In fact, he’s still considering Neville as his friend in spite of his aloof, sometimes outright hostile attitude towards him. He doesn’t even seem to notice his snarky remarks and sarcastic tone.

Enoch when he meets Neville at the police academy for the first time.

He’s both amused and fascinated by the fact that a rather tiny bird like him wants to be a detective too. And as for Neville, he can’t really handle the owl’s condescending/suave attitude towards him. Not to mention, he also feels kinda intimidated by his sheer size.
