She appears as the typical grandmotherly figure with her hair in a bun in “Grandma and Grandpa Seville,” and “How You Gonna Keep ‘Em down on the Farm?,” not to mention being about a head shorter than her husband. Though, in “Back to Dave’s Future,” she appears taller, hair in a fifties fashion and her face is longer. Then in her cameo in “Merry Christmas, Mr. Carrol,” she’s back to her granny classic look but pudgier.

[[folder:Kevin]]

to:

[[folder:Kevin]][[folder:Cheesy]]



--> Michael Bagdasarian
One of the Chipmunks' friends at school. Often appears in ThoseTwoGuys with Cheesy, but appears on his own if the story needs a goofball or a weirdo in the mix, and he often shows up as a patsy in Alvin's various schemes.

* TheDitz: Cheesy is not especially bright, and has a lot of strange habits.
* SimpleMindedWisdom: Cheesy is considered a loser, but he's also one of the only students who doesn't particularly care about popularity and is fine with who he is.

Added DiffLines:


[[folder:Julie]]
->'''''Voiced by:'''''
-->Elizabeth Gomez
A woman from the neighborhood who is very good friends with Dave. The Chipmunks occasionally suspect that she and Dave are dating, but it never pans out.

* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Dave are very close, and they've even gone on a couple of apparent dates, but each time its made very clear that they're just friends and mostly just swap parenting tips.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She was a fairly recurring character in the first couple of seasons, but eventually faded away as Miss Miller began to show up as the family's friend in the neighborhood more often.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ms. Croner]]
->'''''Voiced by:'''''
--> Janice Karman
An bitter old woman who lives in the neighborhood with a nasty sense of humor and an unsettling number of cats. Despite her abrasiveness, she and Miss Miller are good friends.

* CrazyCatLady: She has several cats, whom she is all-too happy to force people to help take care of them. They are just as mean as she is, and particularly enjoy chasing chimpunks - especially Theodore.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: Ms. Croner is ''hilariously'' amoral, and sees no issue with taking advantage of people or outright committing crimes for a laugh or to make a point. Despite this, she seems to genuinely like the Sevilles deep down and several of her antics have been for what she believes is their own good. More than once the cast has teamed up with her to do something nasty for a good cause.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As noted, she's been known to do good things for the Sevilles and Miss Miller out of the goodness of her heart, even if her methods are typically as abrasive as she is.
* IHaveBrothers: Alvin at one point tries to get into a prank war with her. She then reveals that she grew up with seven brothers and effortlessly turns all of his pranks back against him.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: She routinely [[IAmNotDurwood forgets the characters' names]], though she ''might'' be faking it.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: She's rude, abrasive, demanding and generally uncaring about the well being of others. She has her nicer points, but most of the characters try their hardest to avoid her.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Kevin seems to be the biggest example of this, as it's not uncommon for him to tease any of his friends, such as when Cheesy believes he's got an online girlfriend, or even get them into some kind of trouble, like when he and Cheesy begin prank-calling people in the neighborhood and it comes back to bite them in the butt.

Added DiffLines:

* SternTeacher: Eventually turns into this as CharacterizationMarchesOn. While she remains cynical and rough as in the earlier seasons, as time goes on she becomes more prone to peppering her cynicism with genuine desire to see her students - even Alvin - do well - and she can generally be counted on to go out of her way to be in the kids' corner even in their personal lives if they need her to be.
