Personality
Angie is shown to be caring, kind, and rather witty and clever upon her first encounter with Greg and Rowley. She also appears to be slightly irritated at the fact that Greg doesn't listen to her advice and the fact that he fails to notice that Rowley's popularity is boosting because he acts like himself and doesn't pretend to be another person. However, later on in the movie, Angie compliments Greg and the three of them become good friends and now share a mutual bond. Her personality also shows that she doesn't quite care about fitting in with others, which could explain why she reached out to Greg and Rowley, as they weren't very popular at the beginning of the year and neither was she. Angie is also exceptionally ambitious and quick-witted, and is often underestimated by those around her, as she acts quite modestly and is also very quiet around those that she doesn't have a purpose talking or socializing to.

Friends
Greg

Upon their first encounter, Angie seemed to be on neutral terms with Greg, seeking out to be his friend and hoping that he wouldn't be the kind of person who wanted to gain popularity. When Greg refuses and leads Rowley away, Angie seemed neither concerned nor too bothered, and continues to mind her own business.

Later, however, while Greg is considering which clubs to join, Angie appears and offers him to work for the school newspaper. When he rejects her once again, Angie begins feeling slightly bitter and proceeds to take a picture of him wrestling with Patty.

After Rowley and Greg have their fight, Angie temporarily becomes best friends with Rowley, talking to him after school. At the end of the school year, when Greg admits that he ate the cheese and spoke up about how stupid the whole "popularity" idea was, Angie complimented Greg by saying "Not bad, Heffley. Not bad at all," with a smile on her face. She, Greg, and Rowley can be presumed to have a good friendship, and are on friendly terms with each other.

Rowley

Angie is on friendly terms with Rowley and even acted as his temporary best friend after his fight with Greg.
