This is a description of the twelve recurring fictional characters from the Cartoon Network animated television series Ed, Edd n Eddy. The show revolves around three main characters (Ed, Edd, and Eddy), usually referred to as "the Eds". There is a secondary group of characters (Kevin, Rolf, Nazz, Jimmy, Sarah and Jonny), three neighbor sisters known as "the Kankers", and an absent character (Eddy's brother).

The Eds
Eddy
Voiced by: Tony Sampson
Eddy is the main protagonist of the series. A greedy, ill-tempered con artist and loud mouth, Eddy is the self-appointed leader of the Eds. He goes to great lengths to scam the other kids out of their money, even at the expense of his friends' credibility. His efforts are all in the pursuit of jawbreakers, which he loves as much as he does money. He is very sensitive about his short stature, suggesting that he may have a Napoleon complex. Eddy detests school, and more than once has tried to escape. His report card labels him a megalomaniac. Eddy loves his retro styled room, complete with a lava lamp, a large round king-sized bed, a disco ball, and a vintage record player. Eddy is mostly seen commanding the two Eds into building the scams while he does non-physical work or simply sits around. It is shown that Eddy cannot learn from his mistakes; on several occasions, he taunts and insults Sarah to the point where she loses her temper and attacks him. He is incredibly selfish, caring for only the well-being of himself and acquiring jawbreakers, even choosing jawbreakers over his friends. Despite his typically cruel treatment of them, it is shown on multiple occasions that he does indeed care about Ed and Edd and consider them his best friends. He is also on the inside a tragic character since his behavior came from the abuse that Eddy took from his brother.
Ed
Voiced by: Matt Hill
Ed is the dimwitted workhorse of the group. His skin is yellow unlike the other characters. He is known to laugh a lot, and he is happy most of the time, and is usually the most kindhearted of the trio. His mind is a subculture grab bag full of comics and monster movies, which he often confuses with reality. Ed is utterly at the mercy of his tyrannical younger sister Sarah, for whom he cares deeply, and is an easy target of her manipulations. Much to the dismay of germophobic Edd, he has poor personal hygiene, even to the point of being terrified of soap. He loves buttered toast, gravy, comics, a cereal called "Chunky Puffs", pudding skin and animals, especially chickens.
Edd
Voiced by: Samuel Vincent
Edd is a young inventor and neat freak. The most intelligent of the trio, he is never seen without his head covered in some manner, almost always by his trademark sock-like black ski hat, hiding a secret unknown to everyone besides Ed and Eddy. While there have been vast fan-based speculations on what is under the hat, nothing has been officially revealed by the show's creators. To differentiate his homophonic name from that of Ed, he is widely known as "Double-D" to the others. Because of his moral center and good heart, he is typically more socially accepted by the other inhabitants of the culdesac than Ed and Eddy are. His parents put a heavy workload on him, communicating an excess of tasks solely through a multitude of sticky notes. Edd hates being treated terribly by everyone and is easily frustrated. Edd is normally a straight-A student in all of his classes and hates sports (apparently because of an odd, never-discussed "dodgeball" incident). Edd is highly intelligent, ambidextrous (evident in "One+One=Ed"), and able to construct complicated machines from cardboard, signs, and various kinds of junk the Eds come across. His knowledge proves to be useful in many ways, and sets him apart from the other children of the Cul de Sac.
Other children in the Cul-de-Sac
Jimmy
Voiced by: Keenan Christenson
Jimmy is an insecure child, with a propensity to cry. He is most often seen spending his time with Sarah. Jimmy is highly accident-prone, often seen sporting bandages, casts, and braces, and is considered the weakest kid in the cul-de-sac. Though Jimmy has a cowardly and delicate personality, he truly wishes to be strong and muscular. He can be crafty when motivated, and had twice made scams that were very successful. Jimmy has shown how deeply attached he is to Sarah when someone tries to take her away from him. For most of the series he wore a retainer to correct his teeth, due to a bowling pin accident during one of Eddy's scams. In one episode, Eddy takes Jimmy under his wing as his protége.
Jonny
Voiced by: David Paul Grove
Jonny (referenced in the credits as "Jonny 2x4") is a loner, and considered by his peers to be a nuisance. Jonny is often made fun of for his big head and has a tendency to get his head caught in branches when climbing trees. He talks a lot, and frequently gets on the other kids' nerves. He is rarely seen without his imaginary friend, a board with drawn-on eyes and a mouth, named Plank. Jonny seems innocent and gullible, and often forgives people no matter what they do. He does not seem to mind the antics of the Eds, and is often the most friendly out of all the cul-de-sac kids towards them. He is very protective of Plank, and will burst into acts of bravery or extreme aggression if Plank is stolen or harmed in some way. He does not seem to acknowledge that Plank is just an inanimate, silent, 2x4 piece of wood, and when asked for help with an imaginary friend, he claimed to have no clue what the Eds are talking about. He and Plank both have superhero alter egos (Captain Melonhead and Splinter the Wonderwood, respectively), which they assumed twice throughout the series; first in "Robbin' Ed" to thwart Eddy's "Thingamajig" scam and to fight Eddy's own one-time only alter ego, Professor Scam, and then in Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show to hunt down and get revenge on the Eds. After Big Picture Show he and Plank become The Gourd and Timber the Dark Shard in order to take revenge on the entire cul-de-sac. However, Plank tells Jonny that there isn't enough time left in the movie.
Kevin
Voiced by: Kathleen Barr
Kevin is a stereotypical jock. He is cynical and can be cruel at times. Kevin has a garage full of jawbreakers, thanks to his father who works at a jawbreaker factory. He loves customizing his bike, skateboards, and snowboards. When not riding his trusty bike, he usually hangs out with Rolf and Nazz in the lane. He hates the Eds to the point of paranoia, but his animosity towards them is mostly geared towards Eddy; the two are mortal enemies and often go entirely out of their way to humiliate or physically harm each other at the first opportunity. He tends to call the Eds "dorks" and has a habit of coming up with words merged with dork to suit the situation.
Nazz
Voiced by: Tabitha St. Germain (Season 1), Jenn Forgie (Season 3) and Erin Fitzgerald (Season 2 & Season 4 - Present)
Nazz is the stereotypical cheerleader/unattainable love interest. Nazz is usually seen with Kevin. All of the boys except Rolf and Jimmy are infatuated with her. Whenever she approaches, the Eds begin to sweat and lose the ability to speak coherently. She is the head cheerleader at Peach Creek Junior High. She generally does not mind the Eds unless they bother her. She is the only one besides the Kankers to have her last name undeniably revealed (Van Bartonschmeer), which occurred during the movie.
Rolf
Voiced by: Peter Kelamis
Rolf is an immigrant from a presumably Eastern European culture with odd customs (which he displays frequently, and it often involves meats) and has a thick accent to match. He works his parents' small farm within the cul-de-sac, and leads a scouting group called the "Urban Rangers", which includes Jimmy, Plank, and Jonny. Rolf usually refers to himself in third person, as well as being the son of a shepherd, in which he takes pride. His faithful farm animals are three pigs (one named Wilfred), a goat named Victor, at least six chickens (two named Bridget and Gertrude), a cow named Beatrice, and five sheep. He hardly minds the Eds unless they make a fool out of him or offend him in some way, after which he is not afraid to use brute force. He seems to be very muscular, but this is usually only shown when he is angry. Rolf confuses the rest of the kids to no end with his unusual customs and food-making.
Sarah
Voiced by: Janyse Jaud
Sarah is Ed's bossy spoiled little sister, who acts cute and charming only when it serves her. Sarah has Ed's unending loyalty and obedience, mostly from her threats of snitching on him. She has a short temper and is easily agitated by others, especially her brother and Eddy. She is almost always playing with Jimmy, and when she's not, rushes to his aid the moment Jimmy calls her. Sarah writes about her innermost feelings in her diary, and has a slight love for Edd (albeit usually not enough to spare him from her wrath).
Other Characters
Kanker Sisters
May, Marie, and Lee are three sisters who serve as antagonists towards the cul-de-sac and its inhabitants. Lee is the leader curly red hair that covers her eyes, Marie has blue hair, and May is the buck-toothed blonde. They live in the nearby trailer park called Park 'n' Flush. If there is one thing that all of the kids in the cul-de-sac can agree on, it's that they all hate the Kanker Sisters. While all the Kankers like the Eds, it has been shown that May prefers Ed, Marie for Edd, and Lee for Eddy. May is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald, except Season 3, when she was voiced by Jenn Forgie, Marie is voiced by Kathleen Barr, and Lee is voiced by Janyse Jaud.
Eddy's Brother
Voiced by: Terry Klassen
Eddy's brother is mentioned frequently throughout the series, mostly by Eddy. He was previously an unseen character, but he finally makes an appearance in the TV movie Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show. Eddy's brother at first seems out to be everything that the other kids imagined, but it turns out that all of the folklore surrounding him was made up by Eddy to impress the other kids, and he is really a bully who picks on Eddy mercilessly and refers to him as "pipsqueak." He also works at the amusement park, "Mondo a-Go Go", though his specific job there is unknown. While it is not mentioned in the movie, Danny Antonucci confirmed in a DVD interview that his real name is Matthew.[citation needed]
Wilfred
Wilfred is a sloppy pig who belongs to Rolf. He is at times used for transportation or helping with chores. He has developed bad behavioral habits such as eating Rolf's garden hose, destroying vegetable crops from his garden, and running away at times. He once attended Peach Creek Jr. High in Rolf's place so Rolf wouldn't have to take a test. Wilfred also turned on Rolf in Big Picture Show after Rolf was abusing him and yelling at him.
Victor
Victor is a goat who is perhaps the most dangerous animal on the Rolf's farm. Like Wilfred, he loves Rolf's vegetables, but is omnivorous as he will eat virtually anything. Rolf has used Victor as a guard dog, getting him to attack the Eds when their plan to snap a photo of Rolf for a calendar went awry in the episode Quick Shot Ed.
