Character sketch of Rowley Jefferson from diary of a wimpy kid
Answers
Personality
Rowley is best known for being a good best friend to Greg. Rowley is quite immature and seems a bit naive which Greg takes advantage of him by manipulating him, but his charming, cheerful, and innocent nature makes him more popular with other students (particularly the girls) than Greg. His friendship with Greg is arguably more legitimate and developed in the films than in the books. In the novels, Greg primarily uses Rowley for personal gain and always pushes him around, though they are legitimate friends nonetheless. In Dog Days, he smashes "The Muddy Hand", which is really Gregory's hand. He is sometimes an enemy, but most of the time he's a "good guy". Rowley has a pure soul and knows that Greg loves him deep down.
Appearance
In the movie series, Rowley is a boy with a thick build and long bowl-shaped hair that is orange and is wider than Greg's, but his hair is golden brown in Rodrick Rules and Dog Days. In the book series, he has 7 strands of hair that is flat on his head and is wider than Greg's. He has two large teeth and his mouth never appears to be closed, except for a few occasions. In Hard Luck, since he started dating Abigail Brown, he combed his hair differently and had 8 strands rather than 7. After the break-up, he goes back to his original look.
