Alvin is commonly portrayed as the charming one of the three. In the episode Dr. Simon and Mr. Heartthrob, he dresses stylishly and attempts to attract a group of visiting girls before being usurped by Simon, who drank a special kind of potion which granted him natural magnetism and charm.In the CGI/live-action films, Alvin is also depicted as having the ability to speak basic French unlike in both the 1980's animated series and The Alvin Show in which he is shown to be unable to speak French in "Petit Papa Noel" from A Very Merry Chipmunk, and he is shown to wish he could speak French in The Alvin Show musical segment " I Wish I Could Speak French." Alvin's interest in female characters isn't as strong as in later incarnations, but he definitely is a charmer (" August Dear").

Quotes Eleanor: But we've never been scuba diving. And, and who knows what's down there? - ( The Chipmunk Adventure) Eleanor is self-assured, clever, sweet, and confident. She is a gifted athlete, despite her larger physique. Eleanor is quite strong-willed and is far more likely than Jeanette to stand up to her sister Brittany when she feels that she is wrong. Eleanor gets along great with Theodore of The Chipmunks. They are very open about their relationship and have many similarities. For example, they both love food (due to both being overweight) and are interested in cooking.Alvin is the oldest of the Chipmunks as revealed in the episode Grounded Chipmunk after making the statement, " I've never been alone, except those five minutes before Simon was born." However in the 2015 series he is the middle child. Alvin and the others tie a kite to Dave's chair, but the kite gets out of control and pulls the chair overboard. Dave runs to a paraglider, but Hawke refuses to let Dave cut in the line waiting to use it. After a brief struggle, the two end up falling off the boat as well. Stranded on the ocean, a now-reformed Ian spots an island the two float there. Although they initially cannot get along or agree on a plan, Ian does, in a way, re-kindle his relationship with Alvin and his brothers, along with Dave and the Chipettes by helping Dave rescue the chipmunks and the Chipettes. Alvin, the shortest of the Chipmunk brothers, is always scheming, whether it be because he wants to get out of chores ( Overworked Alvin) or is just trying to find a place to relax ( Alvin's Cruise). Alvin has much musical talent through singing and playing of his harmonica. He loves his harmonica and will play it any time he can, even if it ends up messing up the song (" Alvin's Harmonica"). Alvin has trouble grasping other languages or their cultures but enjoys traveling the world anyway (" I Wish I Could Speak French", " Comin' Thru' the Rye").

In the CGI/live-action films, Alvin only wears a red hoodie with a yellow 'A' on it. His appearance was modified to look closer to a real life chipmunk. He has brown fur as well as brown eyes. In the 2007 Alvin and the Chipmunks, Alvin is only seen wearing his signature cap twice; the first time on a magazine cover and the second at the end of the movie. Alvin's attire has changed many times throughout the franchise with him wearing the most clothes in the new CGI series and him wearing the least amount of clothes in the live action/CGI films.

His main instruments while performing with The Chipmunks are the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, the piano, and the harmonica. According to Romancing Miss Stone, Alvin says that his birthday is nearby and he is turning nine years old (along with his brothers). However, later on in the series, they are stated to be eight years old several times, despite being 4th graders. Eleanor: It's OK, little fella. I'm not gonna hurt you. Oh, you miss your mama and papa, huh? - ( The Chipmunk Adventure) Ian Hawke's redemption when he lets go of his old grudge against Dave, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes by explaining to Zoe that revenge is not the solution, also preventing her from pushing Dave into the void at the same time.
