In the film, Zoe is a delusional, crazy, selfish, greedy young woman who claims that she has been deserted on the island for close to 8 or 9 years with her five friends, who are shown as various sport balls.
Her unstable personality may be developed due to the spider bites she received from spending her stated years on the island, as she tells the Chipmunks and Chipettes she received spider bites a few times. Although Simon told her of the side effects which included an altered personality, when he was bitten by a neurotoxic spider, she was unfazed, most likely due to her personality being altered without her even being aware.
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 bracelet that Simone gave her, feeling she deserves it more.
In the end, Ian reveals that he sold Zoe's story to Hollywood and Keira Knightley has expressed in playing her. Thus, this has restored Ian's career and made Zoe a celebrity.
