Rowley Jefferson

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

—--Rowley Jefferson

Rowley Jefferson is Greg Heffley's 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 behavior, 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 scot-free. Despite this idiotic behavior, though, Rowley always wishes the best for everyone.

Personality

Rowley is an immature boy in several ways. Since 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" proves that. 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! Because 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. In the book he played 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 usually. He sometimes has idiotic behavior which gets Greg and others into trouble and always blames it on others.
