Alvin is impulsive, charming, musical and full of animal magnetism. The character, who is heavily based on former member James Sawyer always seems to make up hare-brained schemes to get what his goal at the time is, whether it be trying to help his brothers, or keeping Dave from figuring something out, or getting out of a sticky situation. However, Simon seems to refer to his often illogical or crazy plans as "challenging the ordinary".

Alvin's signature color is red with a large yellow '''
A''', and he has blue eyes in the 80s series, and brown eyes in Alvin and the Chipmunks (film). In the 80s series, he has light blue shoes; ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein]] ''and [[Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman|''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman'']], he has dark blue shoes. He plays the guitar, piano, and harmonica, among many others. Although Alvin is very much self-centered, he does care about his brothers. In ''Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman'', Alvin helped Theodore temporarily get a bully off his case, causing the principal to remark, "I'll say this for Alvin: he sticks up for his [[Theodore Seville| little brother]]." Alvin holds the place as the leader of the Chipmunk trio. According to "A Chat With Alvin", he cannot pronounce Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.'s last name correctly, which, at the end of the track, gets him yelled at by Ross, Jr. In the movie he describes himself upon meeting Dave as 'The Awesomest One'. He also wears a red cap. However in the 2007 movie ''Alvin and the Chipmunks'', Alvin is only seen wearing it twice; the first time on a magazine cover, and the second at the end of the movie.

Alvin has been shown to be quite self-absorbed and greedy, but at others selfless and giving. Alvin is an emotional roller coaster: his enthusiasm endless, and despair bottomless.

Alvin has always possessed an impulsive behavior which at times have irritated or angered others around him most obviously Dave. At times Alvin's determination can be viewed as being thoughtless, greedy or manipulative. However he has also been shown to show kindness such as when he gives away his harmonica, one of his most prized possessions, to a child with a terminal illness. As a result of his constant habit of reacting to opportunity Alvin has gotten his brothers or himself in trouble quite a few times such as the balloon race in [[The Chipmunk Adventure|''The Chipmunk Adventure'']]. Alvin has also been shown to have difficulty at showing affection such as in the film Alvin and the Chipmunks where he initially struggles at telling Dave that he loves him as a father before finally bursting out in a prolonged speech that about how much he loves Dave. Alvin has also been shown to be a charming member of the trio. Such as in the "Dr. Simon and Mr. Heartthrob" episode where he dresses stylishly and attempts to attract a group of visiting girls before being usurped by Simon, who drank a special kind of elixir which granted him natural magnetism and charm. Or in ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel]]'' where he manages to capture the attention of a group of girls using his cute looks and as well as the French language (e.g. he called a blonde girl 'Mademoiselle' after kissing her fingers).
