Dave Seville’s a songwriter as well as the guardian of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes as of the second live action movie. While Dave struggles to remain calm and objective, Alvin often irritates him, causing Dave to yell "Alvin!" to which Alvin responds with "Okay!" Dave plays piano and the guitar.

David ‘Dave’ Seville was originally Ross Bagdasarian’s {{stage name}}.
-----
* BerserkButton: “'''''ALVIN!!!!!'''''”
* ButtMonkey
* [[CantTieHisTie Can’t Tie His Bow]]: Simon has to help him with his bow while they’re talking in ''Chipwrecked'', as Dave’s getting ready to have dinner with the captain.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Depending on the medium, and the portrayer:\\
\\
''Bagdasarian (Sr.) '' -- rather strict, overbearing and having a short fuse making him quick to losing his cool.\\
\\
''Bagdasarian (Jr.)'' -- more laid back, easy going while still being easily flustered.\\
\\
''Lee'' -- seemingly like a surrogate father-figure who’s trying to do his best.
* DemotedToExtra: Due to a prop mishap during a charity concert crippling him in ''The Squeakquel'', thus putting Dave out of commission for the rest of the movie, prompting him to send the Chipmunks with a relative.\\
This is probably because Jason Lee was busy with ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'' at the time.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The Realist.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: [[spoiler:The reason why Vinnie essentially left the boys at his doorstep]] in the 80s/90s cartoon show.
* HairTriggerTemper: When Ross (Sr.) voiced him
* InksuitActor: ''The Alvin Show'' [[http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/202/c/d/davetas_by_spring_heel_jackie-d6ehtbg.png Dave]] is the supposed caricature of [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/202/d/0/rosssr_by_spring_heel_jackie-d6ei60d.png Ross (Sr.)]], sometimes having that vertical line on Dave's chin appears, kinda like how Bagdasarian has a slight dimple in his chin.
* MrFanservice
* RoleReprisal: Despite Jason Lee being the new Dave Seville, Ross Jr. still provides his vocals on a couple of soundtracks.
* SpikyHair: In ''Meet Frankenstein'' (though it may cross as {{anime hair}}) and ''Meet the Wolfman''.
* StageName: For Rostom “Ross” Bagdasarian.
* TeamDad: As a stern, but loving father figure to the Chipmunks.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Chipmunks]]
!Trio:
Three singing, anthropomorphic chipmunk brothers under the management and parental vision of Dave Seville.
-----
* ACappella: Being singing chipmunks, it comes with the talent. Notable ones reside in the ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'' CGI film, where they give their great renditions of "Bad Day" and "Only You".
* BabyTalk: In ''Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks''.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** [[spoiler: The Chipmunks saves an unconscious Stanley the Eagle in a nick of time before he could fall off a statue in the episode “Eagle in Love” of ''The Alvin Show''.]]
** [[spoiler:Comes to “Frankie” the Frankenstein Monster’s defense]] at the end of ''Meet Frankenstein''.
* BirdsOfAFeather: When the Chipmunks are with their respective individual Chipette counterpart. However, Alvin and Brittany are the exception in that they verge towards TooMuchAlike.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The CGI films began to embody this (Theodore is the lightest of his brothers, comparable to blond, while Simon is an apparent brunet with his fur, and Alvin comes in with reddish-brown fur) and now the CG-animated series has them with human hair similar to the Chipettes.
** Blond = Theodore
** Brunet = Simon
** Redhead = Alvin
* BoyBand: When they dwell into the Pop genre.
* CastCalculus: At '''six''' with The Chipettes.
* [[ChildPopStar Child Pop Stars]]: The Chipmunks' naturally set in as musical acts by choice, and their age throughout the incarnations range from children to teens (CGI films). Dave is their parental guardian, manager, and at times, producer.
* ChromaticArrangement: TropeCodifier if not TropeNamer:
** Red = Alvin
** Blue = Simon
** Green = Theodore
* ClothesMakeTheLegend: Overlaps with LimitedWardrobe. All three of the chipmunk brothers in general, but specifically Alvin. One half of a pair can wear green, the other half can wear blue, but there probably won't be much recognition unless there's that [[IconicOutfit familiar, red piece of clothing with that huge, yellow letter "A"]].
* ComicTrio
** Moe = Alvin
** Larry = Simon
** Curly = Theodore
* CoverAlbum: Majority of their discography, you can say.
* CoverVersion: The Chipmunks' modus operandi outside the fourth wall, as they cover music from well known artists or songs. Though they ''have'' come out with original music, and their CG-animated series have all original songs so far.
* DisappearedDad: Their biological father has never been seen, mentioned or referenced in the 80s/90s cartoon.
** DisappearedDad[=/=]MissingMom: In the 2007 movie, Simon explains to Dave that chipmunks only care for their young for a week followed by Alvin stating their parents were hippies and left early to join a commune.
* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:All of them in ''The Chipmunk Adventure''.]]
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Simon and Theodore started off having little personality outside more well behaved counterparts to Alvin. Starting from the 80s series, they gain more individual spotlight and foibles of their own.
* DoorStopBaby: Well, ''babies'', but anyway, this is how Dave first met them in the 80s/90s show.
* FreudianTrio:
** Alvin - Id
** Simon - Superego
** Theodore - Ego
*** TheMcCoy = Alvin
*** TheSpock = Simon - In the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' parody, ''very'' literally.
*** TheKirk = Theodore
* HappilyAdopted: To guess who.
* {{Harmony}}: Got to give credit to the Bagdasarians, The Chipmunks can do some fantastic harmonies.
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: Theodore is the nicest of the chipmunks, serving as the MoralityPet to Alvin, who is an egotistical AttentionWhore. Simon stays inbetween due to him being the smart one and his constant bickering with Alvin.
* RockTrio: Although they tend to play the basic musical instruments of this trope, the three do occasionally play other instruments as well.
** Guitar = Alvin
** Keyboard/Bass = Simon
** Drums = Theodore
* SameSexTriplets: Self explainable. Chipmunks give birth in litters and The Chipmunks are one.
* [[SelfBackingVocalist Self Backing Vocalists]]: The Chipmunks have done this quite a bit, but it's more prevalent with the more modern incarnations, like the music connected to the CGI films and the CG-animated show.
* SpotlightStealingTitle: The franchise is officially called '''ALVIN''' and The Chipmunks.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:In ''Chipmunk Adventure''.]]
* VoiceTypes: Most fans can generally tell which chipmunk sings what, though the lines blur a few times when it comes to Alvin and Simon once Alvin goes into the lower end of his range. This is possible due to the difference of pitch in each brother and their own vocal tones. At the most basic Chipmunk equivalent of voice types -
** Alvin = ''Lyric Tenor''
-->'''Note:''' Alvin's a vocalist who isn't limited to his general voice classification due to his extensive range and versatility. He can go as low as the lowest ''Baritone'' range.
** Simon = ''Lyric Bass-Baritone''
** Theodore = ''Treble'' [more accurately, if older, a ''male Soprano'' or ''Countertenor'']

The lead vocalist of the band, Alvin is an impulsive and charming AttentionWhore who always seems to make up hare-brained schemes to get what his goal is at the time, whether it be trying to help his brothers, keeping Dave from figuring something out, or getting out of a sticky situation.
-----

* TheAce: Pretty much this in ''The Alvin Show''. Throughout the franchise as well in varying degrees - part of the popular/cool kids, musically gifted (a great vocalist, a good dancer, raps, reeks with charm and stage presence, and plays both the guitar and harmonica, among others), athletic (plays basketball, football, soccer, etc.), and has legit [[CoolBoard skateboarding]] skills. In short, he's crazy talented.
* AFriendInNeed: Alvin's there for those he cares about when he notices they're going through issues and/or are feeling down.
* AntiHero: Alvin's heart bears no malice, and he has set moral guidelines, but he lacks ''proper'' heroic traits that would bring to question a full TheHero status. He works both.
* AttentionWhore: And can get rather petulant if that attention is taken away.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Brittany.
* BerserkButton: Although he doesn't go 'berserk' per se, he doesn't like his cap being touched.
* BigBrotherInstinct: For all of his faults, he looks out for and stands up for his brothers, mainly Theodore. In the ''Squeakquel'', when the bullies are picking on Theodore. Er, actually when any bully is picking on either Theodore or Simon in general.
* BigLittleBrother: His original design was dwarfed by both of his "little" brothers. Likely to better brush off of their new personalities, meek and naive Theodore was designed to be diminutive to him, though the more mature Simon remained lankier than Alvin.
* BrassBalls: Can get rather ''daring'', even with authority figures...including his own surrogate father.
* BrattyHalfPint: He tends to use his loudmouth to make things difficult as an attempt to get his way.
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: ''Brought to You by the Letter ‘A’''.
* BrutalHonesty: Alvin's capable of serving it, at times unwittingly when he gets frustrated or annoyed. While some characters do need it, he can feel guilty if it does hurt someone's feelings.
* CatchPhrase: "Aw, nuts," "Yes, Dave?" and "Okay!"[[note]]The latter two were mainly heard on the albums and on ''The Alvin Show''[[/note]]
* CharacterTic: Alvin tends to do fancy tricks between his fingers and hands with an object (be it apple, basketball, a game chip in ''Chipwrecked'', etc.). They vary in twirls, roll over shoulders, spins, and throws/catches.
* ChickMagnet: When he's not screwing things up with his latest ZanyScheme.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as Simon, but ''definitely'' there.
* DependingOnTheWriter: He can to be a {{Kidanova}} and usually very successful with girls or a CasanovaWannabe when his scheme to win an girl's heart backfire to him.
* EarNotch: His [=CGI=] self in the 2007 movie, ''The Squeakquel'' and ''Chipwrecked'', perhaps to identify him as the scrappiest member of the group.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Alvin may be a JerkAss at times, but there's simply lines he would ''not'' cross and he's inherently good. It's what sets him miles apart from the franchise's typical school bullies or antagonists.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He's the Foolish in comparison to Simon's more Responsible nature, who helplessly attempts to convince Alvin ''not'' do what he plans to.
* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: The Optimist.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric.
* GloryHound: Some of his plans are attempts at getting more famous or grabbing attention.
* GRatedMentalIllness: [[spoiler:Succumbs to this when he’s forced to drink a potion in ''Meet Frankenstein'' where he starts acting like a typical insane cartoon character laughing manically, his tongue hanging out, spinning eyes, and pulling pranks.]] He gets better though.
* HarshVocals: Alvin is quite the accomplished vocal impressionist and imitator. He can manipulate his voice to fit in with a music genre stylistically (being that The Chipmunks do [[CoverVersion Cover Versions]] of songs). So when the song calls for it, he tends to use harsh vocals (in the lesser extent of this, he's raspy).
* TheHedonist: Most of the inspiration that motivates Alvin's actions is the inward desire for fun as well as the opportunity to get what he wants. There's little to no self control and he runs on impulse. Regarding the needs of others isn't on his mind at ''that'' point in time, and it seeps him into JerkAss territory without him ever wanting to be a JerkAss. This is also the reason why he tends to make pretty simple, mundane things more complicated than they need to be.
* HeroesWantRedheads: His most consistent romantic connection is with Brittany, who's a redhead. Songs in albums have even alluded them as being on and off.
* HiddenDepths: Alvin's ''very'' [[{{Understatement}} self-assured]], but he's been shown in rare instances to be insecure to an extent. He stands behind his talent and charm, so when he feels it's going awry in some way, the layers of his own glorification peels off.
* HighSchoolHustler: Though can be Elementary depending on what media you're going by.
* HotBlooded: At times.
* IncrediblyLongNote: There's a genuine reason why he's lead vocal after all, franchise star perks aside. The 2007 movie played with it when they took The Chipmunks' cover of "Stayin' Alive" (from ''Club Chipmunk: The Dance Mixes'') by making it about cheeseballs and having Alvin hit that long note as he went slow mo.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Alvin's way of reasoning. It baffles Simon specifically.
* ItsAllAboutMe
* ItsAllMyFault: Perhaps one of Alvin's best traits is that he can realize his own wrongdoings and how it affects others around him. He goes out of his way [[MustMakeAmends to make amends]] for them.
* {{Jerkass}}
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although Alvin is very much self-centered and can be a certified JerkAss, he does care about his brothers and tends to turn things around as best he can once he knows he went too far. More so if any one of his siblings gets sad or disappointed by his actions. There's no personal goal to be ''purposefully'' malevolent, he simply tends to get too ahead of himself without thinking of the possible impact it brings to those around him.
* LargeHam: Tends to over dramatize and exaggerate his feelings, ideas (as in, his active imagination), or what he says. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Has an immunity to KarmaHoudini, refreshingly so. Dave also makes certain he does not go unscathed.
* TheLeader: He is the leader of the group and when together with The Chipettes, the leader of all six.
* LikesOlderWomen: There's ''at least'' an episode in each series where he, if not outright flirting, gets a PrecociousCrush on an older woman (usually a teacher and/or principal).
* LovableRogue: His defining trait.
* ManipulativeBastard: His smarts lie in manipulating people and how to make them do what he needs them to do. What that is depends on the ploy he cooks up that day. He certainly knows how to get reactions out from others and how to use them to his advantage. Simon and Brittany are a lot harder to get fooled by him, but they fall victim regardless since he knows what strings to pull.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Shades of it. He was the oldest (in the 80s series at least), but his archetype always fitted this in his trio of siblings. Alvin's the BlackSheep, the troublemaker, he acts out, he's loud, and lives for attention in comparison to his more moralistic, upright brothers. He also appears to have doubts in how Dave feels about him as a son in the films and the CG-animated series.
* MoodSwinger: He can change emotions pretty quickly, and his over dramatic reactions to almost everything places him as really high in enthusiasm or at the bottom in exaggerated despair.
* NiceHat: His trademark red cap.
* NotSoDifferent: When Simon loses his personality, Alvin has to become the authority figure in ''Chipwrecked'' and he tries tries to stop Simon from dancing with Jeanette, this happens:
-->'''Alvin:''' [[FirstNameUltimatum SIIMMOOOONN]]!!!!\\
'''Brittany:''' Alvin, you're starting to sound like [[LampshadeHanging Dave]].\\
'''Alvin:''' [[BigNo NNNNOOO]]!
* PhraseCatcher: “AAALLLLVVVVIIIN!”
* TheProtagonist: Of the entire ''franchise''.
* RoleReprisal: Ross (Jr.) still provides his singing voice for the live action theatrical movies as well as voicing him on new soundtracks.
* RoundedCharacter: With StaticCharacter. He harbors both good and bad qualities with some HiddenDepths, and his complexity is such that one can analyze and explore his established character traits in spades.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Simon's blue.
* {{Retcon}}: Is the youngest in the 60s cartoon, the oldest in the 80s cartoon and films, and the middle child in the 2015 cartoon.
* SiblingYinYang: With Simon.
* SmallNameBigEgo: The "small name" depends on the media, but the big ego is always consistent.
* SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Simon and/or Brittany.
* TemporarilyAVillain: Often plays the villain in parody episodes or specials.
* TooMuchAlike: Him and Brittany. When you have two [[AttentionWhore Attention Whores]] with big egos headbutting, getting along isn't on the list of priorities as much as besting each other is.
* {{Tsundere}}: With Brittany. They are constantly at odds with one another and fight, but they do show that deep down they love each other.
* VitriolicBestBuds: They're brothers, but this summarizes his and Simon's relationship verbatim. How they play off each other may be the most dynamic interaction of the franchise.

Not only is he the child of innocence as well as the youngest, but Theodore is shy, loving, sensitive, chubby, gullible, trusting and naïve. In short, he is an easy target for Alvin's manipulations, often holding the swing vote between his two brothers' choices of action. Simon appeals to Theodore's better nature while Alvin goes straight to bribery.

* CastCalculus: At '''six''' with The Chipmunks.
* CharacterDevelopment: The Chipettes were originally conceived as [[DistaffCounterpart female mirrors]] of The Chipmunks, however, over time, they slowly began to develop more dimension and personality that distinguished them from their respective Chipmunk counterpart.

The lead singer and the oldest, Brittany has a pleasing facial and physical appearance, though at times can be vain and self-serving with the extreme desire to have whatever she wants, but is still very caring.
----

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the first two live-action films her personality is toned down. She is a lot friendlier and polite, making it easier for others to approach her. She is nicer and has better control over her temper than Alvin does, though it is still a bit shorter than most.
* AttentionWhore
* BelligerentSexualTension: Alvin and Brittany have always shared an on / off relationship, often appearing to hate each other. However, they are known to express romantic feelings towards each other.
* BigSisterInstinct: Don't mess with Jeanette or Eleanor, otherwise, Brittany will put the hurt on you!
* CharacterDevelopment: Brittany remained as egotistical as Alvin, though she (being a girl) was much more of a diva, wanting to have everything her own way from whatever ZanyScheme she and her sisters got into to whatever ensemble she would be wearing.
* TheChick
* CoolBigSis: Except when she's not...
* DeadpanSnarker: During the series Brittany is depicted as domineering and as somewhat sarcastic and untrustworthy.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: In ''Mini-Munks''.
* TheFashionista: She love the fashion and show several outfits around the series.
* FieryRedhead: It's not sure if she's redhead, but DAMN, she's fiery.
* GloryHound
* TheHeroine: Of the Chipettes.
* ItsAllAboutMe
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Brittany is shown to be kind and compassionate, such as when, in ''The Chipmunk Adventure'' movie, she at first refuses to help Eleanor take home a kidnapped baby penguin but later submits after seeing its deep sadness and longing.
* LovableAlphaBitch: Although she's self-centered (just like Alvin) and sometimes puts her image before her sisters' (especially Jeanette) feelings (again, just like Alvin), she really does care about them (just as Alvin cares about his brothers) and usually does the right thing in the end except when she doesn't, just like Alvin.
* ManipulativeBitch: Tends to have a bit more morals about it than Alvin does sometimes, but is no less above it.
* NeverMyFault: Due to her ego, Brittany has been shown to be unable to admit her mistakes.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Her signature color. She is commonly seen wearing a pink skirt with a pink top.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Jeanette's blue.
* HypocriticalHumor: In the second live action film, she calls out Alvin for not caring about anyone but himself, and she's no saint either.
* SkirtOverSlacks: She wears these in the 2015 cartoon.
* SocialClimber: Has tried to fit in with some girl posses, to the point that she writes off Jeanette.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her regular hairstyle.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards Alvin (and vice versa). They are constantly at odds with one another and fight, but they do show that deep down they love each other.

Like Simon, Jeanette is the middle sister despite being the tallest and smartest of the Chipettes.
----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Gifted with extraordinary intelligence, she often is so caught up in contemplating the universe that she forgets the simple matters of life, such as not tripping over her own feet.
* {{Adorkable}}

* BlindWithoutEm: Jeanette has very poor vision, and is virtually helpless without her glasses.
* ButtMonkey
* BrainyBrunette: Has brown hair and is TheSmartGirl of the group.
* CharacterDevelopment: Jeanette became considerably more shy and withdrawn compared to Simon, while she expressed an interest more towards literature than science.
* CharacterTic: In the 80s/90s show as well as in ''Chipmunk Adventure'', she winked a lot, usually at Simon.
* CloudCuckoolander: Gets some shades of this in ''WesternAnimation/ALVINNNAndTheChipmunks'', perhaps to make her more distinct from Simon personality-wise. Her mind goes to some very weird places sometimes, and she has odd talents like talking to cats. Not to mention the spree she goes on minute she gets a hint of something magical.
* CuteBookworm
* CuteClumsyGirl: She is very clumsy and tends to knock into things often. But, as pointed by Eleanor, she is a "lovable" clumsy.
* DamselInDistress: Becomes this in the third half of ''Chipwrecked''.
* DitzyGenius: She's very well-read and book-smart, but otherwise lacks common sense and general intelligence, such as putting her shoes on the wrong feet, holding signs upside-down, walking into doors or walls, tripping over untied shoelaces, falling down the stairs, etc.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Ate lipstick in ''Mini-Munks''.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: This is one of the few episodes where Jeanette is seen without her glasses.
* GreenEyes: Has these in the 80s series.

Being the youngest of her sisters, Eleanor has a lot in common with Theodore in terms of body shape, interests and color of attire but she is braver and more athletic.
----

* TheBigGirl: Of the Chipettes.
* BrownEyes: Has brown eyes.
** GreenEyes: In the live-action films and 2015 series.
* CharacterDevelopment: Became more outgoing and far more active than Theodore, playing just about any sport the school had to offer, while still maintaining a passion for culinary delights. She became more, also, a DistaffCounterpart of Simon rather than Theodore with respect to [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling her relationship with Brittany]].
* CostumesChangeYourSize: She seems to slim down whenever she wears anything besides her usual outfit.
* TheCutie
* DamselInDistress: Near the end of ''Meet the Wolfman''.

* TheIngenue: Only in the live-action movie, she seems extremely naive.
* TheLancer: To Brittany.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Masculine Girl to Theodore's Feminine Boy.

* TheOneWhoWearsShoes: Her [=CGI=] self in ''The Squeakqueal'' is insisted by Ian she has to be taller when onstage, [[spoiler:though once the Chipettes realize Ian was Evil All Along, Eleanor takes off the shoes and throws them at his face.]]
* PassionateSportsGirl: In the animated series, she is really good to play soccer. The episode ''Soccer to Me'' has she proves to Alvin that can make the team even if she's a girl.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: In ''The Chipmunk Adventure'', if she hadn't made the decision to convince her sisters to take the baby penguin back to his family in Antarctica, they wouldn't have run off course and attracted the attention of the villains, and in turn might never have found out about the diamonds and the true motive behind the race.]]
* StoutStrength: A slight variation on this trope as well as one of the few female examples. Despite her physique, she' was revealed to be very athletic and was able to beat Alvin in a one-on-one soccer match.
* SupremeChef: As Theodore she love food and is interested in cooking.
* TeamMom: Somewhat, as she's the one who tries to keep the [[FieryRedhead brash Brittany]] in line, and was the one who looked after the baby penguin in ''The Chipmunk Adventure'' the most. She is extremely maternal.

Clyde Crashcup is a scientist, though he’s primarily an inventor rather than a researcher, whose experiments invariable fail.

* ManipulativeBastard
* MeaningfulName: Hawks are natural enemies of chipmunks.
* VillainBall: Ian's plan in ''The Squeakquel'' worked fine [[spoiler:until he threatened the Chipettes just because they all wanted equal partnership in the performance.[[labelnote:explaination]]Although he doesn't explicitly state his reasons, these actions do make sense in keeping with Ian's character. As a record producer, he probably knows that girl bands are more or less currently out of vogue and the real success is in single-name acts, like Music/MileyCyrus, Music/BritneySpears and Music/LadyGaga.
