He is very gullible and innocent, always letting Alvin get to him with his schemes. He is shown in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel to be somewhat sensitive about his weight when the bullies poked his belly and butt and called him fat, even saying that he has "serious junk in the trunk." Alvin and Simon claw them up as a result, taking care and watching after their baby brother. He has a crush on Eleanor Miller, one of the Chipettes who has similar traits of Theodore, who shares his same interest, but not as gullible and she returns his feelings, but feels that he should stand up for himself more.
