This is of course, me, your favorite. In case any of you are wondering, I am the oldest of the three Seville brothers. Now it has been rumored that I have an ego problem that and I can be a little arrogant. This is not true. There is much more to me. Ok, so sometime I go a little overboard with some of my schemes for fame and fortune, but what is the crime in a little publicity? Someone has to make an effort to get our name out there. My brothers seem to think my ideas are crazy, but then why don't they ever come up with anything spectacular?

I'll tell you why, because my brothers know they can't get along without me. Without me their lives would be dull. Even Dave, our Guardian dad, would have to admit I make his life more interesting. What Dave and my brothers seem to forget is that I am very protective of my family. Yes it's true. Who is it that stands up against bullies that go after my youngest brother Theodore? Me! Who is it that helps my other brother Simon when it comes to giving him a more updated look in order to increase his popularity status? That's right, me! I even make an effort in helping Dave. I am the one that suggests helpful hints on how to impress the ladies when he goes on dates. I suppose it is true that my dad and brothers bale me out of many situations; most they would say was caused do to my own mischief. But who's really counting? The best quality about me though I guess would be my charming looks. Go ahead and take a good look at me...who could deny an innocent face?

Unlike me, Simon is what you may call an 'egg-head'. He is a real wiz when it comes to science, math, and even literature. But you think he could impress the ladies with that? Not really. Regardless of everything you see on the outside of my brother, Simon does have a creative side to him. Lately, he has dabbled in the arts, and is quite good at it if I do say so. I've also notice that he is becoming a fine actor as well, even stared in a play or two as the lead. (Mind you, he isn't quite as talented of an actor as me.)

There also seems to be a madness quality to my brother that is rarely seen. Sure he goes around being the 'responsible' and 'reliable' brother, but I say that is a front for his own maniacal mind frame. Why else would he wait till I'm completely desperate for his help that he would exploit it for everything that it's worth? Guess that is the price I pay in having a genius for a brother... Simon has usually played the parental role a few times when Dave was not around (guess that is the reason why some may think he is older then I). In fact, Simon was born five minutes after me. Since then he has pretty much taken upon himself to watch over both Theodore and myself. This is just another example of him being the responsible member of the Seville clan. Needless to say, Simon is one brother both Theodore and I can count on when the chips are down. No matter what he thinks of the situation, he will drop what he is doing to help us.

Out of the two brothers I have, Theodore is the sweetest, most caring, and innocent one. His naive personality makes it easy for people to take advantage of his kindness. That is something I would never do...what? ...Don't look at me like that! Ok, ok. I may have talked him into doing a few things, but hey, that's different... He's my brother! Theodore also has a tendency to avoid scary situations. He would rather go on the kiddy rides then go on the big roller costar rides with me and Simon. Horror movies are another thing he is not a big fan of either (I think they give him nightmares).

Making friends is easy for Theodore, because he has such a big heart. He has a true gift to look past the person's looks and see them for who they really are on the inside. Usually, I think I'm a pretty good judge in character, but even I would have to admit that Theodore is a bit better then I am with that. Theodore's other great talent is his skill as a baker. He has been able to bake pretty much anything from scratch from way back as far as I can remember. Mind you, all that baking and eating has given Theodore a butterball physique. But that does not mean Simon and myself should love him any less. Because of his size and soft nature, Theodore would sometimes become a target for bullies. That is when I step in and play the 'big brother' roll. He would appreciate my help, but also he would feel sorry for the bully too. That is one thing I can truly respect Theodore on is his power to not judge anyone, even if someone is picking on him. Another thing Theodore is famous for is his honesty. Man that honesty... That is sometimes what gets us into more trouble than we are in. But no matter what, I love him.
