Rolf (EENE)

Rolf, also known as Reinar, Rolfy Boy, Son of Shepherd and Stretch, is a character from the Ed, Edd n Eddy series.
== Charactah Account ==
Rolf is an oddball foreigner who runs a farm in the backyard of his home, and frequently rambles about either his oddball family or the oddball customs of the Old Country, which was formerly named cloudcuckooland, (and suggested to actually be Norway.) He's usually tolerant of the "Ed-boys", unless he becomes a direct target of one of Eddy's scams.
Rolf is a hard-working, friendly and upbeat character, yet is also unusual and sometimes disconcerting to the others. Despite his many idiosyncrasies, he appears to have the respect of almost everyone in the Cul-De-Sac.
Rolf values hard work and can most often be found working on his parents' small farm. He is responsible for doing all sorts of chores from the menial, such as tending to the animals, planting seeds etc., to the downright strange. It is because of this frequent display of labor that Rolf has strength that rivals Ed's, though his strength, while impressive, is no match for Ed's, as Rolf can only use it when he is angry, while Ed's strength is a part of his biology. Even when angry, his strength still does not seem to be of the same intensity or level as Ed's. Though he often works and takes great pride in his achievements, he describes his youth, back in The Old Country as being "lazy" and "good for nothing." It is possible that he does some of the chores out of fear, as he once mentioned that if his chores were not finished, he would be "banished to the cupboard." This is one of the reasons the Urban Rangers exist: to do all sorts of chores around the Cul-De-Sac and to "become the masters of the mundane," as Rolf puts it. They are a boy scout-type organization that has existed for over fifty years and they are specialists when it comes to chores, for which they earn badges. Aside from the menial chores, they often take camping trips to the woods in order to earn camping badges.

== Trivia ==
* Rolf is usually friendly towards the Eds at the first time in the episode he meets them. After all, he will at unexpected times seek them for assistance. In "Scrambled Ed," he asks Edd for a solution to getting rid of the lobsters and leaks in his garden. In "Too Smart for His Own Ed," he asks Ed for help on his homework. In "Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed," he wants Ed's help to stomp on raspberries. In "Who's Minding the Ed?" he asks Ed to look after his farm animals while he was at his family reunion.
* Rolf owns an accordion and is able to play it exceptionally well, as revealed in "Key to My Ed."
* Rolf is also known to own a unicycle, as shown in "Button Yer Ed," "Avast Ye Eds,", "Ready, Set... Ed!" and "Mirror, Mirror, on the Ed." In "Ready, Set... Ed!" Rolf claims to have the record for "Unicycle Shenanigans". In "Fa-La-La-La-Ed," he gave the unicycle to Kevin.
* Rolf fears Eddy's Brother, because he fears Eddy's Brother will steal his chickens, and implies that he has done so before. When Rolf ultimately has the chance to confront Eddy's Brother in Ed Edd n Eddy's Big Picture show, he appeared to stand up for himself, only to send Kevin after him instead.
* Despite his high level of strength, Rolf is still wary of Sarah, and was easily pummeled by her in "Urban Ed." He is also, like the other children of Peach Creek, terrified of the Kanker Sisters.
* Rolf is apparently good at basketball; as he states in "A Pinch to Grow an Ed," he is capable of making up to five baskets in a row. He is also seen frequently playing basketball with Kevin.
* In "Ed or Tails," Rolf mentions that he comes from a long line of village buffoons.
* Like Marie, Rolf has blue hair. However, his hair is a darker shade of blue.
* Like Jimmy and Sarah, Rolf has a purple tongue.
* Rolf also tends to address himself as the "son of a shepherd". Due to recycled audio footage, he will often utter the phrase for no reason whatsoever as well.
* Rolf can become aggressive, upset and/or agitated if any of the following happen to him:
** When someone harms, steals, or insults his livestock (as shown in "Ed... Pass it On...","No Speak Da Ed", and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ed").
** When someone has besmirched his family and his traditions (as shown in "Dueling Eds").
** When he does not eat any meat for too long (as seen in "All Eds Are Off").
** When he sees or hears anything that brings up his traumatic feud with Wolf (also shown in "No Speak Da Ed").
** When someone fools around in his home for too long (as shown in "Rambling Ed").
** When someone makes a "Merry Andrew" of him (as shown in "Wish You Were Ed").
** When he senses powerful supernatural beings (as shown in Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo).
* Rolf has green teeth, but in "Read All About Ed," a few other episodes, and the game Cul-de-Sac Smash 2: Wheels of Fury, they are white.
* Rolf has had a major role in two specials, Ed, Edd n Eddy's Hanky Panky Hullabaloo and "The Eds are Coming."
* Rolf is the first boss in Ed, Edd n Eddy - Jawbreakers! who Edd must face. Rolf needs to be hit 2-7 times to win.
* Danny Antonucci said in an interview that Rolf was his favorite character.
** Also, he says that he based Rolf off of himself and his relatives, considering that Antonucci is part of an Italian immigrant family who had different customs during his childhood, similar to Rolf's situation.
* Rolf has blue hair on his back, as shown in "Take This Ed and Shove It."
* Although Rolf is afraid of cameras, based on the antiquated belief being photographed would steal one's soul, he willingly posed for a shot in "Is There an Ed in the House?" and "Hands Across Ed."
* In the Danish and Swedish dubs Rolf is called Reinar instead. Though in the Swedish dub he was called by his original name in the first season but they later changed his name for unknown reasons.
* Aside from Jimmy, Rolf seems to be the only other boy in the Cul-de-Sac who is not hopelessly infatuated with Nazz, as was shown in "Boys Will Be Eds."
* Rolf. alongside Lee and Marie, are the only characters to have different colored teeth instead of white. Rolf has green teeth, Lee and Marie have yellow teeth, but Lee has a blue tooth in addition.
* Rolf appeared in a "We'll Be Right Back" bumper for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, where he said that in the Old Country they have "Grease the Porcupine Thursdays" instead of Cartoon Cartoon Fridays, which he said will be right back after "this capitalist propaganda" (commercials).
* Rolf made a brief appearance in a Cartoon Network "Accept No Substitutes" promo (AKA "The Ed Planet"). In this promo, he greets Ed, Eddy, and Marvin the Martian (who was substituting for Edd) with a regular "Hi guys." greeting before the latter disintegrated him.
* On several occasions, Rolf drinks juice out of a mug that closely resembles a German Beer Stein. This likely references Rolf's fictitious culture.
