Rowley Jefferson

"A butt can't be cute, it's a butt."

- --Rowley Jefferson

"Can we go inside, sir?"

- --Rowley Jefferson to Greg

Rowey Jefferson is Greg Heffleys best friend and is a major character in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He has protective parents who aren't fond of Greg's ehavior, assuming that he is a bad influence. He was the main antagonist in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but is then often seen as an anti-hero in the series, despite being the main character's best friend, as he often does idiotic things to get Greg in trouble while he gets off scotfree. Despite this idiotic behavior, though, Rowly always wishes the best for everyone.

Personality
Rowley is an immature boy in several ways. For example, he still goes to school with his mom and sleeps with his teddies. As shown in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, he played at a baby playground, and a quote of "He's definitely not middle school ready" further substantiates this fact. At Christmas, he got toys for kids much younger than him! His immaturity is still with him in Rodrick Rules when he is in 7th grade! After watching "The Foot", he got scared and said that he wanted to watch the kiddy movies. Once again, it is shown in Dog Days book and movie. In the movie, he goes with his parents to close by places. If not, then he'd have to follow Greg Heffley. In the book, he went in kiddie rides for little kids while Greg was in the Cranium Shaker. He is also a fun, loving boy, that many like more than Greg Heffley usually. He sometimes has idiotic behavior which gets Greg Heffley and others into trouble and always blames it on others.

Appearance
Rowley in the movie series he is an overweight boy with long bowl shaped hair that's orange and is wider than Greg. In the book series he has 7 strands of hair curled downward and is taller and wider than Greg. He has two large teeth and his mouth never appeared to be closed, but once in The Third Wheel, he finally closes his mouth for the first time.
