* RedIsViolent: Has a variety of red clothing, including her red-polka-dotted blouse, and is the most intimidating among the Kankers.



** She ''might'' be into art, if the one time she's shown painting is anything to go by.

** She ''might'' be into art, if the one time she's shown painting is anything to go by. She even referenced Vincent van Gogh at some point.
** She may have been more aware about the history of the foundation of Peach Creek than her sisters did, as shown in "A Town Called Ed", when she suddenly shared a further lesson about the town itself. Judging by her sisters' reactions, this is confirmable to a significant extent.

** In addition to the above, they refuse to let anyone other than themselves beat up the Eds, and in the movie they made it their mission to capture the rest of the Cul-de-Sac kids before they seriously injure/kill them.

* UnwantedSpouse: The Eds absolutely abhor them and reject all of their advances, while the Kankers are determined to make them their husbands. A deleted scene shows that they eventually succeeded in getting the Eds to marry them as adults.

* BerserkButton: Don't steal their Ship-In-A-Bottle, as it was treated like the ApocalypseHow when they discovered it was missing. Not to mention that for the Kankers, ItsPersonal, as they will deal with anyone that gets in their way instead of letting the authorities handle it, as Lee showed when she destroyed the phone when May wanted to get the police involved.

** While they're willing to tolerate each other sexually harassing one of the Eds other than their designated crush, they will absolutely lose it if one of them starts making a serious play for an Ed that isn't "hers". This is most clearly shown in the Valentine's special where Marie physically attempts to drag May away from Edd when the two begin dating, and even Lee is clearly shown being disgusted by May not respecting her sister's crush.

Added DiffLines:

* EvilIsBigger: Is the tallest of the Kanker sisters and the nastiest among them. A similar thing could be said when comparing her with her "boyfriend" Eddy.


Added DiffLines:

* GeniusBruiser: She's a capable fighter, and is shown to be occasionally [[StreetSmart crafty]] ''and'' [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]].

* MakeYourOwnVillain: If their portrayal in their debut episode, "Nagged to Ed", is any indication, they started out truly trying their best to be affable and doting to the Eds and only began bullying them after the former rudely rebuffed their advances after they had spent a significant amount of time and effort preparing them meals, putting on a movie for them, and freshening themselves up afterward.

* FauxHorrific: In the Valentines Day special, Lee and Marie investigate Mays school locker after she and Double D fall for each other, and both of them react in utter shock and horror when Marie finds out that he sent her his sock as an explicit flirt, with this being the last straw that gets them to find the other Eds to get them to control Mays out of control lover. [[note]]Funnily enough, this also serves as CallBack to early design notes for the show that mention that Double D has a creepy habit of sending his socks in the mail to girls he likes, and a later comic that has him doing this exact same thing to Nazz by putting his sock in an envelope to send to her. The implication being that the Kankers personally know Double D well enough to know exactly what him doing this is supposed to mean.[[/note]]

* NoodleIncident: In "Ed Overboard", the Urban Rangers, Rolf, Jonny, Plank, and Jimmy, who all came to save Ed from being kidnapped by the Kankers, end up being ditched by the Eds to be left at the Kankers mercy while they make their escape. The episode ends with all four of them coming back for revenge against Ed, looking like complete wrecks with Jonny wearing Maries clothes and undergarments, Plank is filthy with mud smeared all over his face, Jimmy is covered in makeup, Mays clothes, a tutu and a hair bow on way too tight, and Rolf with torn clothes, messy eyeliner, a bunch of wooden clamps in his hair and is covered is kisses. It's clearly implied that the Kankers decided to give them one painful makeover with their own closet and had their way with Rolf off-screen, so it's no wonder [[HereWeGoAgain they all came back to kidnap Ed]] for revenge.

* EquippableAlly: Similarly to Ed for the, well, Eds, May has her uses has a tool her sisters can swing around sometimes, usually as a bludgeon or a battering ram. Special mention to ''"Once Upon an Ed"'' where the 'saw' that the Kankers use to cut into Jonnys bedroom is actually Mays bucktooth if you pay attention to [[FreezeFrameBonus the one second this is happening]].

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: In the Valentine's Day special, she's revealed to be surprisingly well-read when it comes to chemistry. Somewhat subverted since she was under the influence of Cupid Sarah and Cupid Jimmy's [[LovePotion love arrows]], so it's possible she was magically granted an intelligence boost, or at least went out of her way to study to impress Edd.

* TheTroublemaker: The Kanker Sisters, {{Distaff Counterpart}}s to the Eds, are often going after their "boyfriends" to give them unsolicited kisses (in one episode, they trap them in an abandoned house to make them their "husbands"), but they are not above harassing the rest of the Cul de Sac.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: She's the middle sister, and narratively speaking, she gets the least focus and/or development of the three. The older sister Lee is the most prominent when the Kankers are together, as she usually decides and speaks for all three, and her younger sister May eventually develops her own personality, which leads to DivergentCharacterEvolution from her sisters in later episodes.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Kanker" is also the Dutch and Indonesian word for cancer. "Kanker" in vernacular Dutch can also be more or less translated as "fuck". Then there's the obvious association with canker sores, which --fittingly enough-- [[MeaningfulName are painful and all but impossible to get rid of]].
