Littlefoot

Littlefoot is one of the main 21 characters from The Land Before Time. Littlefoot is a young brown Apatosaurus which is called a "Longneck" in the films. 
Due to his skill at befriending others, he is also friends with many other creatures, although his friendships with dinosaurs and other animals outside his species is often viewed as a taboo, as many of the dinosaurs practice racial, or species based, segregation, which is based upon the days of racism in America.
The character has been received very well by critics and become a favorite among Land Before Time fans, and has been featured in much of The Land Before Time-related merchandise, along with being referenced frequently in the media.

Littlefoot is modest, intelligent, playful, adventurous and positive. Reflecting his love of adventure, he is most often seen singing the song "Adventuring" in the television series. Towards his family and friends, he tends to be very ethical, mature, caring and protective. He acts as a leader to the other main characters; pressing them on in difficult times, (most notably in the original The Land Before Time) and their voice of reason. He typically tries to break up any fights or arguments between the others, although he is prone to sometimes getting caught up in the heat himself. Generally, when under attack by predators or in other dangerous time, even when the adults tell Littlefoot and the other children to run to safety, he stops the others from leaving, and urges them to help out in any way they can.
He seems to take loss hard. When his mother dies, he first blames her for her own death ("She should have known better. That was Sharptooth!") and, as can be implied with his conversation with Rooter, himself.
He also is unwilling to lose his grandfather (IV) and goes into the deadly Land of Mists to get the Night Flower to save him. In movie 9, he blames himself when he thinks Mo has died, saying that he should never have gone near the new water and never had the Gang befriend Mo. In XIV, he is unwilling to just let his father possibly be killed by lava and goes to the Fire Mountain to save him.
Littlefoot can sometimes be belligerent toward the others, especially Cera, when he feels strongly about something and they do not agree with him. He has even broken up with the Gang, while adventuring, on more than one occasion over disagreements.
He will also sometimes go off on his own without the others (as he did in IV with Ali, in VI when he tried to fix Saurus Rock alone, and in XIV initially.)
