Greg Heffley

Greg Heffley is the main character in the book series Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Personal life
He has a older brother called Rodrick, a younger brother called Manny, and his mom and dad are called Susan and Frank respectively. He also has a best friend called Rowley Jefferson. Life at middle school is tough for Greg, since he has to deal with strict teachers and annoying classmates.

Greg explains throughout the series that he has no strong talents, other than video games and comics. As such, he spends most of his time on them, which deters him away from schoolwork and chores. For a time, he harbored a hope of drawing for the school newspaper, but his comic was bowdlerized by the editor and Rowley’s comic was better liked by the people at his school. He hardly shows any other talents.Mrs Norton thinks he is good at singing sopranos and actually Greg sang a soprano because nobody harrases him, as implied in the first book, and is also good at sewing, but he complains that these talents do not make him stand out.
