Nev

Relationships

Nev is a small blue bear with brown patches on his tummy and around his mouth, scratches on his tummy and part of his ear missing. He copresented Smile from September 2002 to August 2007, some of that time alongside Barney, and now lives in a flat with Barney - under normal circumstances there are no pets allowed in the flat, but Barney says that Nev is a TV presenter instead.

Nev can't speak in proper sentences and has trouble pronouncing certain words, therefore, much of his verbal communication consists of combinations of his catphrases like "I win I win!", "No, no, no, no.", "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear"and "Fwightned". His voice gradually got more high pitched since when he first appeared on Smile. He also has nicknames for other characters, probably because he can't pronounce their actual names - Andy Prank is "Angry Pants", Beatrice is "Beetroot", Bouncer Boy is "Bouncy Belly" and Barbera is "Brabra".

Nev can be a bit cheeky and mischievous, but never really "behaves badly" as the title would suggest - Mr Prank behaves far worse in comparison, as he is always trying to get Nev out of the flat and money. Nev will usually only bother Mr Prank is first provoked or wrongly accused of something, although on a couple of occassions Nev has eaten Mr Pranks ice cream without permission. Nev's best friend is Barney, hence another of his catchphrases "love you, Barney", and he also gets on with Beatrice, Keith, Melanie and Barbera. Mr Prank and Bandit the cat are his main enemies - Bandit is the reason why part of Nevs ear is missing. Nev likes jam, socks, ice cream and "duckies", which can mean either rubber ducks, or his "snuggly ducky duck duck" doll.

His conscience is often represented by a pair of floating, talking rubber ducks, one yellow and with a halo, the other red and with horns. Nev is often said to be a "rare species", however, the Blue Bearasaurus in the episode Cavebear, and cousin Dev from the episode Cousin Dev, who wasn't actually Nev's cousin at all, both look almost identicle, as did members of Nevs family shown in an episode of Smile, and so maybe he isn't that rare afterall. When scared, Nev will often scream like a woman, although he will sometimes growl more like an actual bear too. In terms of his appearence, he looks more like a monkey, except to Aunt Barbera, who thinks he is a dog.
