The sherriff of Nottingham was really the perfect enemy for Robin Hood. Not so hard that he couldn't be beat, actually, quite an easy opponent, unless it came to swordfights, but very persistent.
He never gave up. Even after Robin beat him hundreds of times, he kept trying to get back, put him in jail, get the merry men out of commission.
They were opposites. Robin always joked around, stuck to Maid Marian, stole avidly an openly, and tricked people constantly, yet always managed to be the good guy and help poor people. The sherriff almost never joked, jumped from girl to girl almost daily, never stole anything, or if he did, did so in secret, and in general was a good sherriff. But hw was portrayed as the bad guy.
Robin grinned to himself. Life was entirely unfair. In his favor, of course. That was the beauty of life. It was always unfair in SOMEONE's favor.
The two were alike in some ways though. They hated each other, for a start. They were also both stubborn, both crafty, and both well known literary figures.
They were perfect for each other. In the loosest sense of the word.
