[edit] Brittany Miller
Brittany: Brittany is just as arrogant as Alvin, and bosses her other sisters around. Brittany is the lead singer and the dazzling center of her own universe. Though she may appear self-centered, emotional, vain and self-absorbed, she also cares for her two sisters... just not quite as much as herself. Like Alvin, Brittany will stick up for her other sisters. However, both Alvin and Brittany constantly get under each others' skin over many things, and make bets as to who is better than the other. But all in all, they both still like each other despite their differences, as evidenced in many songs. Brittany has also been in starring roles in school plays. However, even when she is not given the main role in a play, Brittany has a way of stealing the show. Brittany is around 6-7 years old in the series, and her signature color is Pink.
[edit] Jeanette Miller
Jeanette: Jeanette is the tallest, oldest and is just as intelligent as Simon, but she's more timid, and can never stop Brittany's schemes. Jeanette is the Chipette's "absent-minded professor". She often is so caught up in contemplating the universe that she forgets the simple matters of life like not tripping over her own feet. She can generally be found with her shoelaces untied, one knee sock wrinkled around her ankle or her buttons askew, and unlike her sister Brittany, Jeanette knows she is not known for her looks. Despite being timid, Jeanette is not afraid to even ask Simon for advise, and even help her to do something that can be difficult for her to do. Because she can be a so absent-minded, Jeanette is sometimes be considered an accident waiting to happen, because things always happen to her, liking falling into a water fountain, or getting sticky glue all over herself. Jeanette is around 7-8 years old in the series, and her signature colors are Black and Purple.
[edit] Eleanor Miller
Eleanor: Though she is the youngest, Eleanor is logical, organized and extremely maternal, and exudes a sense of calm that soothes her two sisters frenetic nature. Like Theodore, Eleanor is the chubbiest of the three, but she embraces "living large" and is a mini olympiad in any field of sport. Both Theodore and Eleanor get along great with each other, and Eleanor occasionally takes on the big sister role for Theodore whenever something's troubling him, or if he needs help with something. On occasion, Eleanor has been given starring roles in school plays, but she can be a bit nervous about it. Eleanor is around 5-6 years old in the series, and her signature colors are Teal and Aqua Green.
[edit] The Chipettes' Background
The Chipettes are orphans who were taken care of in an orphanage in Australia by a girl named Olivia who lived there. Unfortunately, the director of the orphanage noticed the Chipettes' singing abilities and tried to use them in a very bad way, mistreating them. Olivia was adopted and the Chipettes were stuck with the horrible woman until they managed to escape, traveling to New York as stowaways. They tried to get jobs and sang in the streets for money, and eventually made their way to California where they met and befriended the Chipmunks.
The fortunes of the Chippettes changed for the better at that point, and for a while they lived in a tree house. Unfortunately, the school they were attending found out that they lived alone, and after a disastrous meeting where the boys tried to pose as the Chipettes' parents, they were threatened to go to an orphanage again. Alvin, Simon and Theodore had the idea that they could be adopted by Ms. Beatrice Miller, their ditsy but motherly babysitter, and a short while later she did so. After the initial troubles, Ms. Miller came to love the girls and they became a nice family.
The Chipettes finally got their big break as a singing group when Alvin suggested that they perform on top of Mount Matterhorn. They eventually paired off in relationships with their doubles: Alvin with Brittany, Simon with Jeanette, and Theodore with Eleanor.
