Beginnings[]
Zoe was presumed to have been stuck on the island for eight or nine years. It was revealed to be false as she intentionally came to the island and hunted down the treasure for over a decade.
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked[]
In the film, Zoe is a delusional, crazy, selfish, greedy young woman who claims that she has been on the island for close to 8 or nine years with her five friends, who are sport balls. She is first shown when the chipmunks attack her when they believe she is a jungle monster. Having met the chipmunks, they become friends and spend their time adventuring on the island.
She is first believed to have crash landed on the island, but in the end, she reveals that she intentionally came to the island to look for treasure. She kidnaps Jeanette and forces her to get all the treasure since she is small enough to reach it. Fortunately, Alvin and Dave save Jeanette, stopping Zoe from both harming Jeanette and getting the treasure. She sees her opportunity to get revenge on Dave for making her lose the treasure by killing him as he hangs on a broken log bridge for his life. Luckily, a reformed Ian comes to his rescue and persuades Zoe to do the right thing and help Dave up. After everyone escapes the island, Zoe realizes her errors and sincerely apologizes to Jeanette for her actions. She forgives Zoe and gives her a valuable gold tiara that Simon/Simone gave her, feeling she deserves it more. They are eventually rescued by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and transported to the International Music Awards.
In the end, Ian reveals that he sold Zoe's story to Hollywood and Keira Knightley has expressed interest in playing her. Thus, this has restored Ian's career and made Zoe a celebrity.
