Main characters

Jimmy Two-Shoes

(Cory Doran) - James "Jimmy" Two-Shoes is the eponymous protagonist of the cartoon, a perpetually optimistic, thrill-seeking and effeminate 14-year-old boy. Jimmy is tall, has blonde hair and a gap in his teeth. He wears a lime-green t-shirt with two white stripes on the sleeves, blue jeans and black (blue in "Cerbee Come Home") and white low-top sneakers. He has a mission to spread happiness to Miseryville, which makes him a perpetual source of irritation to Lucius Heinous VII, whom Jimmy nicknames "Luci". He is often seen doing extreme activities despite Heloise's warnings, is distracted very easily, and gullible. In "Catalogue of Misery", it is shown he may have financial problems. Jimmy is altruistic and will quickly step into situations, even life-threatening ones, to aid others. His superhero alter-ego is Power Squid, in which he dons a squid-based "muscle enhancer" invented by Heloise, with a set of purple gloves and a mask. His main powers are shooting ink from the squid's tentacles and utilizing them as an additional pair of arms. He and Heloise appear to be the only "humans" in Miseryville. It is shown to be almost impossible to get him upset (some of the only things that make him upset are butterscotch and pickles), and his idealism renders him ignorant of the faults in others.

Jimmy is oblivious to the fact that Heloise has a crush on him, even when she tries to make it obvious, somewhat because whenever she tries to do something nice, it always backfires and turns to an evil plan. He seems to dislike the idea of Heloise being his girlfriend, being horrified by the notion that they could fall in love ("Better Sweater"), and even more horrified by the idea of kissing her ("There is Always a Hiccup"). In spite of this, Jimmy is the only one in Miseryville who isn't afraid of Heloise for obvious reasons, and has shown some affection for her on several occasions (he was worried about her losing her job in "Catalogue of Misery", complimented her on her dress in "Scent of a Heinous", was the only one who wanted to rescue her in "Heinous vs. Clown", and actually seemed to be jealous when he discovered that Heloise was dating Peep in "Heloise's Secret Admirer", and thus spent the day tailing them.

Jimmy apparently hasn't lived in Miseryville for very long, as shown in a few episodes, (e.g. he doesn't know about hibernation in "I Am Jimmy" or the definition of "grounded" in Miseryville, which literally means being buried to the head-up in the sand and/or dirt, and mentions in "A Cold Day in Miseryville" the concept of snow to Beezy and Heloise, both of whom are clueless about it, as it had never snowed in Miseryville before). His catchphrase is "Jimmy, you mad genius!", which he often says after gaining an idea. His parents are never seen or mentioned. He, alongside Beezy and Heloise, is a fan of Runny and the Nosebleeds. His name is most likely based on "The History of Little Goody Two Shoes" a story.

Beezy JoJo Heinous

(Brian Froud) - One of Jimmy's best friends, Beezy is the slow-witted, lazy, egocentric, hedonistic, yet loyal teenage son of Lucius Heinous VII who adorns a pair of brown shorts (when dressing for a formal event, he adds a white collar with a black bow-tie and white cuffs to his regular clothing). He somewhat resembles his father, but is much larger and has a tail (it is worth mentioning however that in the pilot Lucius is depicted with a spade-tipped tail, and in "Best Prank Ever", it's shown that only a year earlier, he was the same height as Lucius and Samy). He is apparently the only Heinous not named Lucius. His superhero alter-ego is Spaghetti Beezy; unlike the more elaborate disguises of his two friends, he simply becomes this via cramming a pot of spaghetti over his head. He uses his noxious garlic breath as his superpower.

To the eternal dismay and embarrassment of his father, he would rather hang out with Jimmy and Heloise than spread misery or learn to govern Misery Inc. He is frequently seen lazing on a couch, even outdoors, and constantly uses the phrase "No you are!" as a comeback or "Burn!" to punctuate an insult, even if their inclusion in a sentence doesn't make sense. Jimmy usually has to feed him just to get his help. Beezy has a mutually-strained relationship with Heloise (to the point that when they accidentally kissed in "There's Always a Hiccup", they both hated it) and has a girlfriend named Saffi who Jimmy set him up in "Jimmy Matchmaker". They remain together until "She Loves Me". Much like Jimmy, due to his mellowness and relaxed demeanor, it's difficult to properly enrage him (some of the only things he outright despises are baths and pizza crust).

He apparently runs some kind of business he calls the Beezy Talent Agency. His card consists of a poorly-constructed picture of himself with a tuxedo print taped on it and hair scribbled on with a marker. His mother has never been mentioned. His name is probably derived from Beelzebub.

Heloise

(Tabitha St. Germain) - A super-intelligent and tomboyish yet sadistic, short-tempered, and psychotic small girl, Heloise is Jimmy's second best friend. She's depicted as a depraved, evil genius/mad scientist who enjoys spreading chaos wherever she goes, though possesses the appearance of a diminutive little girl with highlighted blond hair and dark-blue eyes. She is almost always seen wearing a maroon gown, regardless of location, and has been seen occasionally wearing glasses or shades. She usually wears her hair in a ponytail and has a scar on her forehead that is mostly covered by her hair. It is shown that she has feet in "Heloise's Big Secret" and "Something About Herman" and the shapes of her legs is briefly shown in "The Terrific Trio", but all of her outfits are knee-length and reach the ground, so they've really never been seen. Her superhero alter-ego in "The Terrific Trio" is Trouble Bubble Girl; while portraying said superheroine, she dons a pink dress, a bubble over her head, turns her hair pink, and floats on a cloud of bubbles. Her powers consist of launching explosive bubbles at her adversaries.

She works for Lucius as the head-of-research and development at Misery, Inc, her job consisting of producing despair-inducing products for the corporation. Whenever she tries to scientifically explain her inventions/plans to Jimmy and Beezy, she usually has to give a simplified version of the idea so they can understand.

She does have feelings, proven by her intense crush on Jimmy (for example, "Fused Together" reveals she has a shrine dedicated to Jimmy in a small room hidden behind a cabinet that has been "found" by other characters. Her shrine appears again in "Pet Rocky", only this time it's behind the fireplace), but doesn't particularly care for Beezy, tolerating him (barely) primarily because of their mutual fondness for Jimmy. Heloise constantly tries to inform Jimmy of her feelings towards him, but he either is oblivious or doesn't reciprocate her romantic infatuations. In "The Racing Bug", however, she wonders why she likes him (co-creator Edward Kay has said that Jimmy's good nature appeals to the last shred of humanity in her). She is also shown to be annoyed at Jimmy's constant naïvete to obvious problems. Her catchphrase is "Don't get your horns in a twist", a line she often uses when dealing with Lucius. She has shown to envious of other girls who so much as come in contact with Jimmy; in "The Big Date", she thought Jez and Jimmy were dating, when in reality he was only trying to help Lucius prepare for a date with her. Being nice is nearly impossible for her, as whenever she makes an effort to show acts of kindness, her evil side wins over. She is generally decent to be around if she is spending time with Jimmy, particularly if they are alone; however, she can just as rapidly lose her temper if someone intrudes, or if Jimmy fails to pick up on her affections.

She is the only character who isn't frightened of or bigoted towards the Weavils, though appears to have a ghost issue and will assault any ghost she sees. She seems to be a lifetime resident of Miseryville, as she is completely clueless when Jimmy mentions snow in "A Cold Day in Miseryville".

Lucius Heinous VII

(Sean Cullen) - The tyrannical, cold-hearted, malevolent, narcissistic, self-serving, egomaniacal, devil-like, short ruler of Miseryville, CEO of Misery Inc., and main antagonist of the series. He harbors great contempt for his (one-sided) archenemy Jimmy, because of his happy-go-lucky attitude continuously foiling his plots to make the town even more miserable (which he takes great joy in doing). Lucius seems to think looking gross or smelling bad is a good thing, and in "Clowns Gone Wild", it is shown he owns a pair of underwear that he only washes every 6 months.

Beezy, his son, rebels against his wishes, which he blames Jimmy for. He also has a father whom he keeps cyrogenically frozen (along with his ancestors, dating back to Lucius I). He had a miserable childhood and sometimes has painful flashbacks of how his father was abusive to him, which could explain his bitterness. With the exception of "There's Always a Hiccup" (in which he designs a dinosaur that terrorizes children), he's an idiot when it comes to coming up with new ideas and relies co-dependently on Heloise and her inventions; if something goes wrong, he blames her for it. His exact age is never given, though he is at least seven hundred years old, as he stated in "Heinous vs. Clown" (on a related note, he claims "Bad Horn Day" that it took four hundred years for his horns to grow). Lucius intensely dislikes the Weavils, especially their leader Reggie, as he stole his stuffed rabbit Coochie Long-Ears. His name is derived from Lucifer, which was his original intended name [1] , his last name "Heinous" is often used as a running joke due to it sounding like a vulgar word.

Samy Garvin

(Dwayne Hill) - Samuel "Samy" Garvin is Lucius' meerkat-like goblin assistant with dreams of stardom and fame and a lateral lisp. He is rather timid, sensitive, and weak, and is often verbally abused by his boss. In "Pop-Sicles", it is revealed that he previously worked for Lucius' father, Lucius Heinous VI for at least 87 years. He is usually assigned to do the most disgusting or dangerous jobs Misery Inc. has to offer. When Samy hosts an event he wears a black wig, red suit and dons his ventriloquist puppet Humphrey von Sidekick. It is also shown in "Misery Hearts", that he is a best-selling writer. Though he dislikes Jimmy, Beezy, and Heloise (as does his boss), he tolerates them more than Lucius. Samy is shown sleeping at the end of Lucius' bed in "Ghostsmackers", which could imply he doesn't own his own house. His name is presumably derived from Samael.

Cerbee

(Sean Cullen) - Jimmy's loyal but gluttonous and rambunctious pet (he is so energetic that it takes several tranquilizer darts to make him show any signs of lethargy in "Monster Mutt"). He is a green, dog-like monster that is supposed to resemble the head of Cerberus (hence the name, though he has only one head instead of three). Cerbee seems to dislike Samy and Beezy (usually interacting with them via biting or even eating them), but he seems to like Heloise and Lucius.
