Biography[]
Early life[]
Eddy was born in Peach Creek to an unnamed couple, who previously had another son, who later moved out. Eddy did not have a good relationship with his brother due to the latter's mean spirted attitude towards him. Despite this, Eddy did inherit his brother's love for scams. In order get people to like him, Eddy made out that his brother was an amazing person. In his early childhood, Eddy befriended another boy named Ed. Sometime after this, the two attempted to scam a boy named Edd, who had recently moved to Peach Creek with his parents. After this, Edd (nicknamed Double D) befriended Eddy and Ed.
Role in the series[]
Eddy along with Ed and Edd, would create scams in order to get money from the other kids in their cul-de-sac in order to buy their favorite confectionery jawbreakers. However most of the time, the scams would fail.
Eddy and his friends also have to deal with the unwanted attention of a trio of sisters called The Kankers, who wanted the Eds to be their boyfriends.
The first four seasons of the series showed Eddy and his friends doing their scams during the summer holidays. Later seasons and specials take place in the fall and winter and depict Eddy, his friends and the other kids returning to their school Peach Creek Junior High.
Appearance[]
Eddy wears a yellow polo shirt with a purple collar/sleeve hems and a vertical red stripe on the right side. He also wears light blue pants like most of the other characters, as well as a wallet chain and plain red shoes. During the fall and winter, he wears a dark yellow jacket which resembles his usual shirt. Sometimes he wears his other jacket which is yellow and has a purple horizontal stripe. He has a "closet of dreams" full of extra clothes, and has worn many different party shirts and other outfits for specific scams. For example, in Rambling Ed, Eddy wore a turban for a scam that was for Jonny and Rolf when he pretended to summon ghosts and demons. Eddy's clothing bears a strong similarity in color Rolf's clothes. Eddy also has pink skin in a shade comparable to Kevin's, except having a lighter complexion around his eyes and on his eyelids. He has blue eyes and a yellow (later green) tongue.
Personality[]
Eddy's a short 12-year-old boy with a primary personality trait can be summed up as an amalgamation of excessive levels of greed, insecurity, and narcissism.
Eddy can sometimes be a good boy; however he almost always likes to make fun of others and is grumpy, sometimes very rude, unpredictable and above all selfish. He also doesn't like people to touch him. He loves to trick others with his scams just to make money and buy candy, but many times his scams backfire. He really likes to tick off Kevin and Sarah.
He wants to follow in the footsteps of his brother, who he once ruled the neighborhood. He always fails in all subjects and prefers candy more than his friends. In the movie and series finale, Eddy revealed that he was never truly a selfish jerk, he was a good person, he was only mean this whole time in the series, because of his brother's abuse and thought being like him would get people to like him. Eddy regrets his personality, created by the abuse of his older brother and his true self made him become friends with everyone who hated him and his friends.
Heroic Deeds[]
- Before renouncing his days of a scammer, Eddy has done some (if not beneficial) good deeds in the series:
- In The Ed-Touchables, after witnessing Sarah's doll and Edd's magnifying glass gone missing, Eddy realize there a sort of "serial toucher" stealing things, so Eddy warns everybody the entire Cul-de-Sac about a serial toucher on loose, and promising them that he and his friends will solve the mystery. Eddy's plan involves having Ed sitting on a brunch with an alarm hidden on his person and a sign saying "Don't Touch" hung on his body, which would be the perfect bait for the serial toucher. Jonny 2x4 approaches Ed and rubs Plank on Ed's head, which actives the alarm. Thus, making Eddy believe that Jonny is the serial toucher. Eddy and his friends manages to capture Jonny, and tied him to a chair in a basement. Eddy tortures Plank by dripping water from a water gun to make Jonny confess or Plank would swell up like a balloon. Jonny couldn't bear to see what going to happen to Plank, so he finally confesses that "he" is the serial toucher. However. Jonny turned out to be innocent, as Sarah found her doll under her bed and Edd revealed that he found his magnifying glass, clearing Jonny's name.

- Eddy is a fan of Tom Jones and Barry White, evidenced by the records and posters in his room.
- Eddy is a very tragic Cartoon Network character, as he suffered physical and psychological abuse and mistreatment from his older brother and was shunned and alienated from the rest of the cul-de-sac for seeming selfish and arrogant. In fact, his acceptance from the Cul-de-sac kids was one of the main highlights in the movie and the reason the finale was beloved by fans.
- In another note, the writers originally planned on where Eddy's Brother doesn't exist and Eddy made it all up as one big lie. Fooling everybody, including his own friends whether as a means of escaping reality or for the sake of being popular. Doing so would make Ed and Edd ultimately abandon him as the most pathetic, if not lowest, to not face the other kids alone with zero redeeming qualities to add. Ending the series in the process.
- Eddy is one of the nine main characters of the IDW comic Super Secret Crisis War.
- In Issue 18 of the indie comic book series Zombie Tramp, Eddy and Ed make a cameo in the classroom scene, along with characters from other shows such as Mandy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Wendy Corduroy from Gravity Falls and Mr. Lancer from Danny Phantom.
