Liberty Danielle "Libby" Folfax is one of the main characters from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. She is Cindy's best friend and Sheen's girlfriend.
Libby is smart and sophisticated, is a dancer, loves music, electronic gadgets and is a math genius. When Cindy goes too far, Libby gets them quickly back to the Earth. Libby is very loose on it and sings for her life. She also has more common sense, is more down-to-earth than her friends and is the voice of reason. Libby also serves as a big sister to Jimmy and often tries to help him come out of his shell. Libby also is a very honest person and literally cannot lie, which makes it hard for her to keep secrets or be involved in Jimmy's plans.
In the shorts, the movie, and the show's first season, Libby was more of a sidekick towards Cindy, but in the following seasons, she started to become her own character and get more focus, even being added to the logo shot in the show's title sequence.
Libby is a very stylish black-haired African-American girl with lip gloss and is shown to be like a show girl. In the shorts, movie and the show's first season, Libby looked very pretty, she wore pretty aqua green patterned clothing containing a sleeveless dress and knee-high socks, the softness of these would often keep her snuggled on and around and on her and had her either dance beautifully or sing real quietly, along with a matching hair tie (matching her dress and socks) tying her hair into a straightened ponytail with long swept bangs slimming down in the front right, and black Mary Jane shoes. In the episode "Beach Party Mummy", her normal looking hair was given a new style, inspired by an Egyptian pharaoh she was the descendant, and she afterward began wearing a pink shirt, blue flared jeans and brown shoes. Strangely, the storybooks continued to use her original design, even in adaptations of later episodes, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway also uses her old design.
Sheen has a crush on her and they end up dating in the third season. In fact, it is revealed in "Crouching Jimmy, Hidden Sheen" that Sheen cares about Libby more than Ultra Lord. His love for Libby is what motivated him to go to Shangri-Llama and defeat Yoo-Yee, for her sake. This also makes Libby realize how genuine Sheen's feelings are. Sometimes, Libby sticks up for Sheen whenever Cindy or Nick yell at him.
Despite the fact that Libby and Sheen are an official couple by the end of the series, Sheen doesn't mention her at all in Planet Sheen (or any of his other friends, for that matter) and has a new love interest. This was criticized by many fans of the old show who had supported Sheen and Libby's relationship. It is unknown whether or not they were still dating at this point.
