<P> According to cartoonist and Ed, Edd n Eddy creator Danny Antonucci, he based the characters on real people in his life; the personalities of Ed, Edd, and Eddy are based on his own traits, and the activities of his two sons while the cul - de-sac children and the Kanker sisters were all based on children he grew up with . Rolf is based on himself and his cousins, since he was part of an immigrant family, and grew up in a first generation foreign household with different customs and ways of living, compared to those born in Canada . Jimmy is based on one of his cousins, who spent most of his time playing with girls than boys and was rather feminine . Jonny and Plank are inspired by one of Antonucci's childhood friends, a loner who spent most of his time outside with his blanket . He stated that he believed it was important to add Plank, a board of wood, to the show, and that he "thought it would be really cool to do the show with Plank taking on a character of his own" and to cause Jonny to do things he would usually never do . Some wanted Plank to be able to talk, smile and blink as if he was alive, but Antonucci insisted that it should be treated as a piece of wood, brought to life by Jonny's imagination . </P> <P> All the children have multicolored tongues; Antonucci said that the idea came after he saw his son and his friends with different - colored tongues because of eating different candy while he was working on a storyboard . The characters went through a number of "walking cycles", a process used to determine how each character should walk or run, turn around, blink, etc. before the crew came up with the final product . </P> <P> Eddy (Tony Sampson) is the self - appointed leader of the Eds . He is selfish, loud - mouthed, immature, greedy, and hot - tempered . He loves money, jawbreakers (which he likes to spend his ill - earned money on), dirty magazines (as hinted in "Luck of the Ed"), his room, and Chunky Puffs . Eddy ordinarily comes up with the plans for scamming people, but they usually fail, much to his frustration . Eddy will often, especially in the early seasons, slack off by suntanning or drinking a soda while his fellow Eds do all the work . His prized possessions include his magazines, king - sized bed, and disco ball . He also has a Barry White album and is a fan of Tom Jones . Eddy is the shortest of the Eds and takes this very seriously, hating the thought of people calling him short, suggesting he may have a Napoleon complex . Eddy sometimes boasts about his older brother and uses this to his advantage to gain respect . Like Kevin, Eddy can be cruel and acerbic, with a tendency to tease his peers, but deep down, Eddy only wants to be liked by everyone . </P> <P> Edd (Samuel Vincent) is the smartest of the Eds and the most polite, mature, and considerate of the three . As a result, he is more socially accepted by the rest of the kids than Ed and Eddy, usually acting as a peacemaker or offering the rest of the kids advice . To differentiate his homophonic name from Ed and Eddy, he is referred to as Double - D. Edd has a high IQ and is top of the class in most subjects at school, though he is the physically weakest of the Eds and despises P.E. and other sporting activities . As the most creative of the trio, he is able to construct things like planes, rocket cars, and roller coasters with junk he comes across and enjoys doing so . He also is able to play pedal steel guitar, but does not like to do so often . He often speaks using complex words and struggles to speak normally in high anxiety situations . His clothing usually consists of an red / orange shirt, purple shorts, red socks, cyan shoes, and a black ski hat with two white lines on it . He sleeps in a footed onesie, and in the later seasons and the movie, he wears a tie when going to school . Double D never willingly removes his hat (except while bathing), so it is unknown what lies under it; Ed and Eddy see him twice without it . Whatever his hat hides, Edd is self conscious about it . He is also self - conscious about a gap in his front teeth thanks to Eddy poking fun at it . He is the only one of the trio to be an only child, and his parents leave sticky notes around his house as a means of communicating with him . </P>
