Alex Aruda

Alex Aruda is the smartest kid in Greg Heffley's class and recurring character in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.

Personality
Alex has a silent, studious and brainy personality. Greg would always copy off of him on tests, since he always finishes his test first and puts it one side where Greg can copy it. Alex, however does not take up anything seriously; he is only focused on his math and spelling, and is completely oblivious to what occurs around him. Recess punishments don't really affect Alex, because he stays in from recess to read every day. Alex, just like Greg does not seem to have a lot of pals, and only considers non-fiction books as his friends.

Appearance
Alex is illustrated wearing huge eye glasses and a black afro. He is also illustrated with a black necktie on his middle school outfit.
