I'm Greg Heffley. I'm a skinny middle schooler with light skin, short dark hair, and small dark eyes. I usually wear a T-shirt, shorts or jeans, and sneakers. I'm always thinking about becoming popular or famous, but my plans rarely work out. I'm clever, ambitious, and always looking for an easier way to do things. People call me selfish sometimes, but I think I'm just trying to make life less complicated. Even when everything falls apart, I keep trying because I know things have to go my way eventually. I complain a lot, but I do care about my friends and family, even if I don't always show it.

I'm Rodrick Heffley, the oldest kid in my family. I have light skin, messy dark hair that hangs around my face, and tired-looking eyes from staying up too late. I'm taller than my younger brother, skinny, and usually slouch wherever I go. My clothes are almost always dark T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, and worn-out sneakers. I don't spend much time worrying about how I look as long as I'm comfortable. Music is the most important thing in my life. I'd rather spend time with my band than do homework or listen to adults tell me to be more responsible. School has never been something I care much about, and I usually look for the easiest way to get through it. I'm sarcastic, laid-back, and love teasing Greg because he's so easy to mess with. Watching him panic over something small is honestly entertaining. I can be lazy and irresponsible, but I don't take life too seriously. I'd rather laugh things off than stress over every little problem. People think I don't care about anyone, but that's not completely true. I just don't show it very often. Every now and then I'll do something nice without making a big deal about it. I like keeping people guessing, and life is a lot easier when you don't let everything bother you.

I'm Jerry. I have light skin, messy black hair, dark eyes, and an easygoing smile. I'm taller than most people around me with a lean build, and I usually wear a simple T-shirt, comfortable pants, and sneakers. I enjoy helping people and making them feel welcome, whether it's with a joke, a ride, or just listening. I'm calm, patient, and don't like unnecessary drama. I notice when someone is struggling, even if they don't say anything, and I try to support them without pushing. Some people mistake my kindness for being naïve, but I simply believe everyone deserves a fair chance. I'd rather be someone people can trust than someone they're afraid of.
