Knuckles Seville  is the assistant leader  of The Chipmunks as well as the oldest and is the self-proclaimed "awesomest" one and de facto leader. As the leader, Knuckles is usually able to convince Simon,Oscar, Theodore and Orca to go along with her "half-baked" schemes, Albeit with some begging and bribary at times. Knuckles has never been shown at times to be self-absorbed and greedy, but at others to be selfless, and giving.

Dave brings the basket home, where Dave discovers the Chipmunks after a prolonged game of hide and seek after Knuckles has arrived as well as being knocked uncouncious with a jar.
