Brittany has been shown to be quite impulsive, sassy, lazy and entitled. She loves to go shopping and can be self conscious about her looks at times. However, she drives toward any goal she has set with complete determination, stopping just short of ruthlessness. During the series Brittany is a very bubbly and sociable character, she tends to be quite sassy, stubborn, and selfish, but is fairly caring. As series progresses, she is depicted as domineering and as somewhat untrustworthy. An example of this is when she dismisses Simon's advice in ''[[The Chipmunk Adventure]]'', when he advises them to avoid the easterly route to avoid a hurricane. She believes it to be a trick to slow them down so they'll lose the race. Brittany sometimes has trouble admitting her mistakes. Such as when her balloon is destroyed as a result of being caught in the hurricane. Her sisters demand that she admits her mistake, however as she is trying to admit it, she is unable to say the full sentence, instead changing the subject. However despite all her flaws, Brittany is remorseful, such as when she at first refuses to help Eleanor take home a kidnapped baby penguin, but later submits after seeing its deep sadness and longing.

Brittany has always taken on the role as leader of the Chipettes, being lead singer or forward speaker for her sisters.
==Biography==
 
===80s Series===
 
Brittany is the older sister of [[Jeanette Miller|Jeanette]] and [[Eleanor Miller|Eleanor]], as revealed in the song "[[It's My Party]]." She takes on the last name Miller after being adopted by [[Miss Miller]] in the episode [[Help Wanted: Mommy]].
 
   
 
Brittany and Alvin have always shared an on/off [[Alvin & Brittany|relationship]], and they tend to butt heads due to their head strong personalities. However, they are known to express romantic feelings towards each other. The common scenario between the two is that at first they appear to be friends, but eventually get into fights (often blowing it out of proportion). Despite how bad things get, the two eventually agree that they care for each other and make up.
At times, Brittany has been shown to be impulsive. However, she drives toward any goal she has set with complete determination, stopping just short of ruthlessness. Brittany is depicted as domineering and as somewhat sarcastic and untrustworthy. An example of this is when she dismisses Simon's advice in ''[[The Chipmunk Adventure]]'', when he advises them to avoid the easterly route to avoid a hurricane. She believes it to be a trick to slow them down so they'll lose the race. Also, due to her ego, Brittany has been shown to be unable to admit her mistakes. Such as when her balloon is destroyed as a result of being caught in the hurricane. Her sisters demand that she admits her mistake, however as she is trying to admit it, she is unable to say the full sentence, instead changing the subject. However, Brittany is shown to be kind and compassionate, such as when she at first refuses to help Eleanor take home a kidnapped baby penguin, but later submits after seeing its deep sadness and longing.
 
 
Brittany has been shown to be vain about her appearance. In [[I Love the Chipmunks Valentine]], it is shown that several boys wanted to go to the dance with her (although she only wanted Alvin) which means she is seen in boys' eyes as "attractive." Like Alvin, Brittany has always taken on the role as leader of the Chipettes, being lead singer or forward speaker for her sisters.
 
 
[[Alvin Seville|Alvin]] and Brittany have always shared an on / off [[Alvin & Brittany|relationship]], often appearing to hate each other. However, they are known to express romantic feelings towards each other. The common scenario between the two is that at first they appear to be friends, but eventually butt heads, argue over the subject for a period of time (often blowing it out of proportion). Despite how bad things get, the two eventually agree that they care for each other and make up.

Though her basic concept is retained in the CGI films, there are some notable differences. Besides appearance, her personality is toned down. She is a lot more polite, making it easier for others to approach her. She is also shown to have a closer relationship with her sisters, becoming visibly concerned and defensive about them when [[Ian Hawke|Ian]] tried to split them up. Unlike her cartoon version, she is able to apologize when she has judged incorrectly.
Brittany's age in regards to her sisters is never stated in the films. Despite not having a stated last name either, it is presumed to be Seville because of [[The Chipettes]] being taken in by [[Dave Seville|Dave]] at the end of the second film. However, this naming would be controversial as it would make her Alvin's adoptive sister in addition to his love interest.
 
 
Though her basic concept is retained in the CGI films, there are some notable differences. Besides appearance, her personality is toned down. She is a lot friendlier and polite, making it easier for others to approach her. She is nicer and has better control over her temper than Alvin does, though it is still a bit shorter than most. She is also shown to have a much better, loving relationship with her sisters, becoming visibly concerned and defensive about them when [[Ian Hawke|Ian]] tried to split them up. Unlike her cartoon version, she is able to apologize when she has judged incorrectly.
 
   
 
In ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked]]'', her personality is a mixture of what she was like in the 80s and in ''[[Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel]]''. Sometimes, she and Alvin have hard times with each other, but they truly care for and appreciate each other.

Brittany is less toned down from her 80s personality than she is for the CGI films. While it is clear she cares about others' feelings (such as when she decided not to tell Dave Alvin was planning to skip out on family day in [[Family Spirit]]), she does step on her sisters’ emotions as seen in [[My Sister The Weirdo]]. Even so, she recognizes her mistakes and seeks to correct them in most instances (in [[Sister Act]], their dispute is never settled). However she still can be headstrong, sassy, overly dramatic. Most of her conflicts are usually with Alvin, though she can be seen bickering with her sisters.
Brittany's age in regards to her sisters hasn't been stated in the series so far, though she retains the last name Miller as stated in [[Jeanette's Secret Garden]].

She also exhibits a greater sense of responsibility by serving duty as [[Principal Meadows]]' assistant, a position that she takes very seriously - so seriously, in fact, that in [[The Temp]], she sneaks into the school after dark to clean up Jeanette's mess when Jeanette fills in for her while she is recovering from a sprained ankle. Her idol is famous fashion designer and entrepreneur [[Marina Rodenchia]].

Brittany Jewel Miller is the lead singer and leader of The Chipettes and is the female counterpart to Alvin.

Personality

80s Series

Brittany has been shown to be quite impulsive, sassy, lazy and entitled. She loves to go shopping and can be self conscious about her looks at times. However, she drives toward any goal she has set with complete determination, stopping just short of ruthlessness. During the series Brittany is a very bubbly and sociable character, she tends to be quite sassy, stubborn, and selfish, but is fairly caring. As series progresses, she is depicted as domineering and as somewhat untrustworthy. An example of this is when she dismisses Simon's advice in The Chipmunk Adventure, when he advises them to avoid the easterly route to avoid a hurricane. She believes it to be a trick to slow them down so they'll lose the race. Brittany sometimes has trouble admitting her mistakes. Such as when her balloon is destroyed as a result of being caught in the hurricane. Her sisters demand that she admits her mistake, however as she is trying to admit it, she is unable to say the full sentence, instead changing the subject. However despite all her flaws, Brittany is remorseful, such as when she at first refuses to help Eleanor take home a kidnapped baby penguin, but later submits after seeing its deep sadness and longing.

Brittany has always taken on the role as leader of the Chipettes, being lead singer or forward speaker for her sisters.

Brittany and Alvin have always shared an on/off relationship, and they tend to butt heads due to their head strong personalities. However, they are known to express romantic feelings towards each other. The common scenario between the two is that at first they appear to be friends, but eventually get into fights (often blowing it out of proportion). Despite how bad things get, the two eventually agree that they care for each other and make up.

CGI Films

Though her basic concept is retained in the CGI films, there are some notable differences. Besides appearance, her personality is toned down. She is a lot more polite, making it easier for others to approach her. She is also shown to have a closer relationship with her sisters, becoming visibly concerned and defensive about them when Ian tried to split them up. Unlike her cartoon version, she is able to apologize when she has judged incorrectly.

In Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, her personality is a mixture of what she was like in the 80s and in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Sometimes, she and Alvin have hard times with each other, but they truly care for and appreciate each other.

CGI Series

Brittany is less toned down from her 80s personality than she is for the CGI films. While it is clear she cares about others' feelings (such as when she decided not to tell Dave Alvin was planning to skip out on family day in Family Spirit), she does step on her sisters’ emotions as seen in My Sister The Weirdo. Even so, she recognizes her mistakes and seeks to correct them in most instances (in Sister Act, their dispute is never settled). However she still can be headstrong, sassy, overly dramatic. Most of her conflicts are usually with Alvin, though she can be seen bickering with her sisters.

She also exhibits a greater sense of responsibility by serving duty as Principal Meadows' assistant, a position that she takes very seriously - so seriously, in fact, that in The Temp, she sneaks into the school after dark to clean up Jeanette's mess when Jeanette fills in for her while she is recovering from a sprained ankle. Her idol is famous fashion designer and entrepreneur Marina Rodenchia.

Appearance

In the Alvin and the Chipmunks series, she has strawberry blonde hair in a ponytail and blue eyes, and her signature color is pink. She is usually seen wearing a pink sleeveless short shirt over a darker pink sleeveless shirt, a pink skirt, a yellow scarf tied in a bow around her neck, periwinkle tights, light pink flats, and yellow legwarmers. In Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman, she no longer wears the legwarmers nor scarf to give her a more 'hip' look, she also now just wears a pink dress with a little bit of purple on it and wears different footwear.

In The Chipmunk Adventure, like Jeanette and Eleanor, Brittany wears a pink genie attire.

Trivia

  • In an interview, Janice Karman explained the origin of the name "Brittany" stating "Well this was way before Britney Spears or any other Brittany I ever heard of. We had a singer in the studio and that was her name, so that’s why I named her Brittany because I liked the name."[1]
    • Brittany is very similar to Alvin: They are the leaders of their respective groups, very competitive, enjoy extracurricular activities, often the most outspoken, stubborn, vain, impulsive, energetic, and conceited. Their unwise decisions or "spotlight" personalities commonly are the cause of many mishaps and adventures. Despite this, they usually come through for their siblings in the end.
  • She is the oldest of the Chipettes as revealed in the song "It's My Party." However it’s unknown if she is the oldest still or the middle one in the 2015 series since Alvin is now the middle child.
  • Brittany "hates" green (as stated in Cinderella? Cinderella!) and never really takes the time to realize her younger sister Eleanor wears (and likes) green. However, Eleanor doesn't seem to be offended by this statement. Though she could mean she doesn't look good in green, Brittany hasn’t told her family members that she doesn’t like the color green, meaning she possibly doesn’t want to hurt their feelings.
    • She also hates black. In the 80s episode The Greatest Show-Offs on Earth, Alvin tells everyone to wear black to avoid being spotted, but Brittany refuses to and instead dresses in a pink superhero costume. In the CGI episode Albrittina, Brittany does admit she doesn't look bad in black.
  • Brittany is nyctophobic or afraid of the dark.
  • Brittany is the only member of the Chipettes who kept her original eye color in all versions.
  • In the CGI series, Brittany has been shown to be a talented mimic, able to disguise her voice, and even fake accents to fool people into thinking she is someone else; she does a very convincing impersonation of Principal Meadows (in Saving Simon) and a rather exaggerated impersonation of Alvin.
  • In the CGI series, Brittany appears to be ticklish on her armpits. This is shown in "Principal Interest" when Alvin tickles her under the arm when she tries to keep him from going to the principal.
  • She has a birthmark on the bottom of one of her feet in the CGI series.
  • She can also play the electric guitar (Wax Dave) and the trumpet (Just One of the Girls) skilfully.
