## Appearance

Greg is usually depicted with black shorts, or black pants and a white shirt. He is very skinny and does not seem to eat nor work out much. His father has tried to get him to work out and exercise, but he prefers playing video games. Greg also wears contacts and in the third book he lost his contacts so he has to wear his glasses and is embarrassed by Holly Hills thinking he is Fregley. Greg is also trying to be the cool or popular kids in school. He gets assistance Rowley for most of his ideas.

## Interactions with Other Characters

Rodrick is Greg's older brother and he treats Greg just like the kids at school. He is a sophomore in high school. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Rodrick plays a more significant role in the story, as does his band called Löded Diper, in which he plays the drums. He argues with him a lot in the second book. They were both grounded after their parents discovered Rodrick's party, blaming Greg for thinking that he helped him, but he in fact was locked in the basement.

Manny is Greg's younger brother. He appears as the size of a letter in the book. Greg resents his younger brother. When Manny was first born, Greg harbored a hope that he could bully his new baby brother just as Rodrick bullied him, but his parents turned out to be much more protective of Manny than they had of Greg. He is also annoyed that he calls Greg "Bubby". In the second book, Manny broke Greg's game system by shoving a cookie in the disc drive. He apologizes to Greg by giving him a ball of aluminum foil with five spikes sticking out of it. Greg tries to trash it, but his mother stops him. Greg worries that he might sit on it; this fate did not happen to him but rather Rowley.

Rowley often treats Greg as a great friend, but sometimes ignores and avoids him for other interests including a new friend, action figures, and comics. Greg broke Rowley's arm after knocking him off his bike in the winter. Rowley's dad does not like Greg because he uses Greg as an example for a "bad influence". Most of the time Greg goes over to Rowley's house to play video games.

Greg's mom and dad are not often mad at their son, Greg, except for extreme situations like the party in the second book. Mom is rarely angry at Greg, while his Dad is more emotional. Like Rowley's dad, Greg's father puts Rowley as an example for an "accident prone" person. Greg's mom has "rules". Everytime Greg or Rodrick does something bad, and Manny sees it, they have to give him money. Mom used to have a system of “Mom Bucks”, currency used to motivate Greg and Rodrick. However, this ended once Greg discovered they were in fact the currency used in Zoopoly and obtained an unlimited supply of $100,000 "Mom Bucks".
