Greg Heffley

Gregory "Greg" Heffley is the main protagonist of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise. 
He is an American student at Westmore Middle School starting out as a 12-year-old, but being 14 in recent installments. He is constantly bullied by his older brother Rodrick Heffley and schoolgirl Patty Farrell. He feels outcasted by both of his brothers and his parents with the exception of his best friend, Rowley Jefferson, even though he is often critical and been manipulative towards him and others. He is lazy and never blames anything on himself, and thus dislikes homework.

==Personality==
Greg is lazy, slightly narcissistic, and sometimes even selfish and dishonest, and apparently lacks talent. He hardly has any skills aside from video games and possibly singing. However, despite all this, Greg still has his kind and caring moments that show that he will eventually do the right thing and is not heartless.
At the end of the first movie, Greg willingly takes the blame for Rowley eating the cheese. Not only does he save Rowley from becoming an outcast, but he willingly calls the student body out for their broken, messed-up system. It's clear Greg has completely moved on from trying to be popular, caring more about his friendship with Rowley in the process. At the end of Rodrick Rules, he stays up all night to help Rodrick put together a school project so he won't flunk out, something he really did not have to do, especially given that Rodrick has spent that book terrorizing him more than usual.
In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, Greg goes out of his way to defend his father's honor by setting up an elaborate prank with Rowley, Chirag, and Fregley on Stan Warren after hearing the latter badmouth Frank. The animated adaptation gives him a bit of a positive portrayal, as Greg expresses regret for his errors, a desire to be a good kid, and a willingness to accept whatever punishment his mother is willing to dole out for it.
