The Kanker Sisters
From Ed, Edd n Eddy
The Kanker Sisters are a group of sisters who each have a crush on the Eds and are bullies who attack everyone in the Cul-de-Sac. They were introduced in "Nagged to Ed", which was the second part of the first episode. They live in the "Park n' Flush" Trailer Park. Despite having only one mother, they have three fathers (it's possible the other dads are adoptive fathers or their mom divorced twice and remarried, or she divorced three times and this is why she has such a low opinion on men). Although they are in love with the Eds, they still torture them, although usually in a lovey dovey way. Many episodes are ended with the Eds having unwanted "make-out sessions" with them, most of the time Eddy with Lee, Edd with Marie and Ed with May. Also, an episode may end by the Kankers beating up the Eds (especially Eddy). For obvious reasons, everyone in the cul-de-sac seem to fear them. The Kankers' idea of a vacation is a trip with their trailer to Eddy's House.

[edit] History
When the girls came to the cul-de-sac and saw the Eds, to them, it was love at first sight. Lee (the red haired self appointed leader, and possibly eldest sister) has the hots for the little megalomaniac Eddy. She just loves her little man. Then blue haired Marie (possibly middle child) can't get enough of Edd - he's her dreamboat that's for sure. Lastly is May (blond haired buck toothed probably youngest) Kanker who is head over heels for Big Ed. They love them to bits, but especially love to make their lives a living madhouse. From stealing their hard earned cash, to stealing kisses from them the girls are rarely far from where the Ed boys are. And it's obvious when the Ed's have had a Kanker run in - by the tell tale red lipstick prints on their faces. They almost never go to class and they hide out in the boiler room during school hours.
Ever since they met, the Eds have forced to endure their torture and pain-filled love. So the Eds only go near them when necessary. Also they seem to be protective of their boyfriends; in the episode "May I Have this Ed?" Marie got angry when Edd danced with Nazz, Lee got mad when Marie danced with Eddy, and May got angry when Lee tried to smash Marie with Ed. All the kids in the cul-de-sac fear the Kankers; in the episode "Run for your Ed", the Kankers destroyed the neighborhood searching for their missing ship in a bottle and attacked everyone but the Eds, who had the bottle, and Rolf, who was hiding in his basement.

Lee is the sister with the red hair that covers her eyes. She's in love with Eddy. She treasures the Ship in a Bottle dearly. In the episode "Look into My Eds" it's revealed that she, with the rest of the Kankers, are resistant to hypnosis. Also, she doesn't like people touching her hair. She is the self-appointed leader perhaps, and possibly the oldest.
[edit] May
See also: May
May is the sister with the yellow hair. She's in love with Ed. She gets angry if you mess with her hair after her sisters saying they'll make it better ("Ed Overboard"), leading to her not talking to her sisters. She seems to be the dumbest at times, but at other times, can seem intelligent ("Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo") at times. Possibly the youngest.
[edit] Marie
See also: Marie
Marie is the sister with the blue hair. She's in love with Edd. She seems to be the trickiest of the girls at times. She is also just as into terrorizing the other kids as her other sisters, but is also a bit more tough things suggest.
[edit] Kankers and the Eds
The Kankers have a preference of which Ed they like. Lee likes Eddy, Marie likes Edd, and May likes Ed. However, the Eds do not reciprocate these feelings, and they are extremely terrified of them. The Kankers have harassed the Eds in all of the following episodes. They have appeared in other episodes, but they play other roles.
- In "Nagged to Ed", the Kankers undressed the Eds and put them in their dads' robes. They gradually intimidated the Eds with their amorous feelings for them.
- In "Over Your Ed", the Kanker sisters revealed that Ed's coolness was phony, took Eddy's cash, and threw the Eds in a wheel-bar
- In "A Pinch to Grow an Ed", the Kanker sisters sabotaged Eddy's shoes that made him taller.
- In "Quick Shot Ed", the Kanker sisters gave the Eds new hair-dos when the Eds took a picture of them with face masks and unattractive hair.
- In "Look into My Eds", the Kankers hypnotized the Eds into being their dogs.
- In "Tag Yer Ed", Lee, Marie and May wrestle the Eds, and humiliatingly defeat the boys.
- In "Vert-Ed-Go", the Kankers stole the Eds' clubhouse, threw water balloons at the Eds, and beat up Eddy.
- In "Avast Ye Eds", the Kanker sisters ruin the Eds' cruise scam and kiss their respective boyfriends for the first time!
- In "Know It All Ed", the Kankers stick the Eds' shoes to the ground with their rubber cement liquid, and then kiss them.
- In "Home Cooked Eds", the Kanker sisters went on vacation on Eddy's lawn, and relentlessly annoyed the Eds, especially Eddy.
- In "Key to My Ed", the Kanker sisters took Ed's key and forced the Eds to play footsies with them.
- In "Honor Thy Ed", the Kanker sisters undressed the Eds, leaving them naked in barrels, married them, and rode off in a wagon using them as the energy source.
- In "Momma's Little Ed", the Kankers kiss Double D, forcing him to run off while hiding under his hat. They where about to get Ed and Eddy once they discovered them hiding and laughing at Double D, but they managed to escape.
- In "Once Upon An Ed", the Kanker sisters trapped the Eds in the wall, and had them at their disposal.
- In "Don't Rain on My Ed", the Kankers kiss Double D and Ed while Eddy escapes to get a jawbreaker.
- In "O-Ed Eleven", the Kankers find the Eds trespassing in their trailer. They let Double D and Ed go because they each paid 50 cents, but Eddy, since he didn't pay, is trapped by the Kankers in their trailer.
- In "An Ed is Born", Eddy goes to the junkyard while making a home video, and opens a boiler, with the Kanker sisters inside. They pull him in and kiss him until Double D and Ed rescue him.
- In "Ed Overboard" Lee and Marie gived May an ugly makeover wich gived her the blues, and her sisters cheered her up by bringing Ed. May subjected him to romantic torture, but thanks to the efforts of the Urban Rangers led by Rolf, Eddy and Double D rescued their pal.
- In "If It Smells Like an Ed", the Kankers help Jimmy frame the Eds. They force the Eds to choose between being hurt by the kids or being kissed by them, so the Eds pick the kids. The kids tape them to a wall and pelt them with fruit. The Kankers then take the Eds, with Jimmy's approval, and rush off with them to do what they please with their boyfriends.
- In "A Twist of Ed", the Kanker sisters each annoy their respective boyfriends in the morning. Marie kisses Double D while he's cleaning furniture, May kisses Ed while he's getting his breakfast, and Lee kiss Eddy in the shower (don't worry, he was wearing underwear). The Eds act amorously towards the Kankers, but the girls turn the tables, and have the Eds trapped in their rooms in the end.
- In "Mission Ed-Possible", the Kanker sisters are surprised to see Double D run through their trailer with Eddy's and Ed's report cards. He gets past them too quickly, but Lee trips Eddy and Ed when they come by, and the girls kiss the two boys.
- In "Out with the Old, In with the Ed", the Kanker sisters made a deal with the Eds that they would switch homerooms if the Eds publicly declared their love for the evil Sisters. Eddy was forced to say that Lee was his girlfriend, Ed was forced to change clothes with May and say that he was in love with her and Edd was forced to carry Marie in his back and say that he loved her. The Eds lived up to their end, and the Kankers gave them a fake homeroom in the girl's bathroom. The girls then went in and kissed the Eds.
- In "A Town Called Ed" after Eddy finded out that his ancestors were the ones who founded Peach Creek he maked a documentary film trying to show the kids of the history of their town, when Kevin finded out that Ed intercepted their TV signal in the roof of his house, he passed the antena to the Kanker's trailer. The Kankers were enjoying the show, but Lee figured out that they where just right next to the Eds. The Sisters taked their positions, Lee grabbed Eddy's lips, and May jumped over Ed. Marie was chasing Double D with the camera, but he warned her that subjecting them to their usual torture will be punishable by law acording to the book. Marie turned out to have the missing page at the end of the book, and the Eds discovered that Eddy's ancestors lost their land in a gambling match with the Kanker's ancestor, Lord Kanker. Now the Eds had a debt to the Kankers, 300 years of smoochies to them, and they once again kissed them.
- In "A Fistful of Ed", the Kankers start to kiss Double D, only to be chased off by a furious Eddy.
- In "May I Have this Ed?, the Kankers attend at the dance. When Edd dances with Nazz, Marie gets jealous so she dances with Eddy. This makes Lee jealous so she uses Ed as a weapon. This makes May mad and she runs over them (while stuck to Rolf), but made a giant destructive ball.
- In "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Jingle Jingle Jangle", the Kankers find the three Eds in Rolf's shed. The Kankers are dressed like the three wise men, Double D is dressed like an angel, Ed like a Shepherd, and Eddy like baby Jesus. Marie kisses Double D, May kisses Ed, and when Eddy starts running out the door, Lee grabs him back inside and kisses him. The Kankers shut the door, with as sign that says "Don't Open until next X-mas".
[edit] Kankers and the Kids
The Kankers don't just torture the Eds. At one point or another, the other kids have also felt their cruelty.
- In "Dawn of the Eds", the Kanker sisters tied Kevin up to a tire and threatened to kiss him and spin him if he didn't tell them the color of his underwear.
- In "Home Cooked Eds", the Kankers used Plank as a back-scratcher, until Johnny rescued him.
- In "Ed Overboard", the Kanker sisters put makeup on the Urban Rangers (Rolf, Johnny, Jimmy and Plank).
- In "For the Ed, by the Ed", the Kankers bullied Jimmy tried to make Jimmy eat a caterpillar, until Plank saved him.
- In "Run for your Ed", the Kankers wreck all of the kids' houses and hurt all of the kids except for the Eds and Rolf.
[edit] Trivia
- In A Town Called Ed, it was revealed that the Kankers' ancestor, 'Lord Kanker' won Peach Creek in a gambling bet with Eddy's ancestors. Thus, the Kankers own Peach Creek. However, considering they live in a trailer park, they may have lost ownership of the deed at some point.
- They may have worked for Eddy's Brother at one point or at least had made deal with them because he gave them a suitcase filled with wishbones and buried it under the Kankers' trailer and made a map of where they buried it in the shape of Eddy's head and face. And Eddy's Brother kept the map hidden in his room in until the episode "O-Ed Eleven".
- You can avoid the Kankers' wrath if you pay them 50 cents.
- Although their trailer looks small on the outside, it has two floors on the inside.

[edit] Questions
The Kanker sisters are probably the most mysterious characters in the series. Because of this, many questions are thought of about the troublesome trio.
- The Kankers go through quite a change from their appearance in "Nagged to Ed" to when they're in "Over Your Ed". At the end of "Nagged to Ed", the Kankers show that even though they kicked the boys out, they still are madly in love with them. When they show up in "Over Your Ed", they don't do any romance and just take Eddy's money. Could it have been the way the Eds abused their generosity? Possibly, but that couldn't be enough to make them that mad. Then again, maybe the Kankers realized that the Eds didn't feel the same way when they simply ate their food and watched TV, and decided to tease them and hurt the boys like they hurt them. In later episodes, it is shown that The Kankers are aware of the Ed's loathe for them, however what they love is that they are the intimidating ones over their loved (and unlucky) trio, and they enjoy how the Eds are powerless when its time of smoochies and kisses.
- Although it's shown how the Kanker sisters met the Eds, it never shows how they really met the other kids. The kids know who they are, but it's never explained how. Did the Eds tell them about the embarrassing incident? Probably not, otherwise Kevin would have had too much leverage over them.
