Family members

Stewart family

• 'Mamaw' Ruthie Ray Stewart is Miley and Jackson's paternal grandmother and Robby's mother. She lives in Tennessee but occasionally visits California. Ruthie is a demanding and opinionated woman, often seen nagging Robby about his habits and parenting skills. Ruthie also makes fun of him for being fat. While in high school Ruthie dated fellow Tennessean Elvis Presley and claimed to have been the one to first give him the nickname "The King" after playing checkers with him. Elvis eventually started dating Aunt Dolly which began a 30-year feud between the two women. A former Olympian who played volleyball at the 1964 Olympics, Ruthie maintained her competitive streak throughout life: From 1982 to 1999, she won "Lunch Lady of the Year" from the North Central Nashville School District every single year and in "Grandmas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Play Favorites" she was seen competing with Queen Elizabeth II in an arcade dance-game. Both Miley and Jackson love "Mamaw," but they often find her overbearing. Ruthie alienates Miley in "Grandmas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Play Favorites" by clearly showing favoritism toward Jackson. Ruthie feels that because of all Miley's success, Jackson is often overlooked in the family, not realizing she's overlooking Miley's feelings as well. Ruthie reconciles with Miley and teaches her to better appreciate her brother. In the episode "B-B-B-Bad to the Chrome", Ruthie is seen to have a battered old car called Loretta. Loretta has 40 years of smells including her husband's hair tonic and tomato sauce in between the seats. Ruthie has appeared once in seasons 1, 2, and 4, and twice in the third. The episodes include: "Grandmas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Play Favorites," "I Will Always Loathe You," "You Give Lunch a Bad Name," "B-B-B-Bad to the Chrome", and "I Am Mamaw, Hear Me Roar!".
• "Bubba" Joe Stewart was Ruthie's husband and Robby's father. Very little is said about him except that he had large ears and that he and Ruthie started dating after a school dance. He is presumably deceased as the family refers to him in the past tense.
• Grandma Ruby is Jackson and Miley's maternal grandmother, Robby's mother-in-law, and Susan's mother. She lives in Crowley Corners, Tennessee. She is rarely mentioned in the series, although Robby says that she goes to singles bingo. In ', Ruby's birthday is Robby's excuse for taking the family back to Tennessee for two weeks. Ruby helps teach Miley the value of family and staying true to oneself.
• Aunt Dolly is a long-time friend of the Stewart family, long enough to remember when Robby was in diapers. Although not a blood relation, the Stewarts consider her a family member as she is Miley Stewart's godmother. Miley is seen to rely on her advice and encouragement. Dolly is also partly responsible for Miley's parents getting married. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband and dog Rufus. She has appeared in two episodes: "Good Golly, Miss Dolly" and "I Will Always Loathe You" in which she visits California. The character is primarily based on Parton herself who is the real-life godmother of Miley Cyrus. It is unclear if, like Dolly Parton, Aunt Dolly has a career in music; although she does mention that she used to perform on stage, and she was a go-to person for Miley when she was considering becoming a professional singer and, in "I Will Always Loathe You", Ruthie tells Dolly she "put the 'old' in Grand Ole Opry". She returned for the episode, "Kiss It All Goodbye". Her 30-year feud with Mamaw Ruthie Ray Stewart is due to both having dated Elvis Presley.
• Uncle Earl is one of Robby's brothers from Tennessee. Earl seems to have provided the family with endless stories and jokes, often at his own expense. Most of the stories about Uncle Earl concern his being overweight, lazy, smelly, or his fun-loving, childlike personality. For example, Uncle Earl once drilled for oil and accidentally hit a sewage pipe; Uncle Earl once tried to box a kangaroo and got knocked out cold; Uncle Earl once found a week-old sardine in his fat fold when he was looking for the remote; Uncle Earl once fell off a horse and it took four people to help him up; and Uncle Earl once chased a rolling quarter through a car wash and it was the cleanest he ever was in his life. It is learned that Earl enjoys watching football and playing poker, and he is a huge fan of Shakira. Robby says that Earl is one of the all-time great pranksters. He once went to college, but only stayed for four days. Earl is an unseen character for much of the series, but finally makes an appearance in the second-season episode " Uncle Earl." It is revealed that Earl's lifelong ambition is to be a rock star, and he hopes that Miley will be able to help him achieve that goal. Miley learns in a dream sequence that the table with the brightly-colored mannequin legs, often seen in the Stewarts' kitchen, was bought by Robby at one of Uncle Earl's garage sales.
• Aunt Pearl is Earl's wife. In a similar manner to Earl, she has provided the family with endless stories and jokes. Unlike Earl, who did eventually appear, Aunt Pearl has remained completely unseen on screen, making her the longest-running unseen character in the show whose voice has not been heard.
• Luann Stewart is Miley's identical twin cousin who visits from Tennessee in the episode "Torn Between Two Hannahs." She looks very similar to Miley, except that she wears overalls, braids her hair, and speaks in a more exaggerated southern accent. Miley is convinced that Luann is evil, although Robby doesn't believe it. Miley claims that Luann pushed her down a well when she was six years old; Robby thinks that Luann is nice because she pulled Miley back out. Luann causes Miley trouble by dressing up as Hannah Montana and threatening to reveal her secret. Oliver and Luann are attracted to each other, but they never date. Throughout the episode, Miley makes several witch-related comments about Luann in keeping with the episode's Halloween theme. Because Miley Cyrus portrayed Luann, this made her a type of evil twin.
• Bobby Ray Stewart''' is Robby's identical twin brother and Luann’s father. Like his daughter, Bobby has an exaggerated southern accent.

  Truscott family

• Kenneth "Ken" Truscott is an accountant. He first appears in season 3 in the episode "The Wheel Near My Bed " and reappears in season 4 in the episode "I Am Mamaw, Hear Me Roar!". In "It's a Mannequin's World," Lilly complains that he got her a savings bond for her birthday, seen by Lilly as worthless because she can't spend it. Although he is separated from Lilly's mother, he is known to spend time with Lilly and keep her accountable for her school work. Lilly says that he likes bran muffins and is susceptible to back injuries. He lives an hour away from Lilly. He has his own business but he fakes that he's successful and has an assistant called Margaret. He is lactose intolerant, but still eats ice cream, revealed in "It's the End of Jake As We Know It."
• Heather Truscott is Lilly's mother. She first appears at a PTA meeting at the Stewarts' home in "Lilly's Mom Has Got It Goin' On." She goes on a date with Robby, but things turn cold when she refuses to let Robby pay for her meal. Miley describes Heather as "uptight," and Lilly eventually agrees with her. She reconciles with Robby, but they are no longer seen dating. Heather gets a job in Atlanta forcing Lilly to move. She attends a Hannah concert dressed as Lola Luftnagle's mother. She is divorced from Lilly's father. Earlier Heather bought Lilly a pair of horn-rimmed glasses which Lilly is embarrassed to wear.
• Lilly's brother is first mentioned in the episode "Miley Get Your Gum" but Lilly later wishes that she has a brother in "Would I Lie to You, Lilly?". He had a pet hamster. Other than him, no other siblings are mentioned. Most likely Lilly's brother disappeared like the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and Lilly is an only child.
• Lilly's grandfather got run over by a school bus. In the episode "Good Golly, Miss Dolly", Lilly says that Principal Fisher reminds her of him.
• Lilly's other grandparents smell like oatmeal and Lilly says that her dad uses the puppy dog look to make her shampoo Grandma.

  Oken family

• Nancy Oken is Oliver's mother. Although unseen, Nancy is often portrayed as having exaggerated masculine characteristics. She is sometimes heard off screen using her "man voice" when she's angry. When Oliver's pet fish died, she flushed it down the toilet. She works as a police officer, then got promoted to detective and earlier had a job as a security officer. She makes homemade fried chicken.
• Mr. Oken is very over-protective and still holds Oliver's hand in parking lots.
• Oliver's brother loves to go to Mozzarella Mousie's and Make A Moose.

  Supporting characters

School staff

• Francis Corelli is a teacher of Miley, Lilly and Oliver. He is sometimes weird. He often teaches in an exaggerated fashion, by trying to be the "cool teacher", but he is the cool and fun teacher.

He was Hannah's private tutor in the episode "When You Wish You Were the Star".
• Karen Kunkle is a teacher of Miley, Lilly, Oliver, Jackson and Rico. She is very strict to Miley and Jackson.

  Students

• Sarah, sometimes called "Saint" Sarah by Lilly, is Miley's classmate who represents a typical nerd girl. She is an environmentalist, a supporter of animal rights, and especially concerned about the poor and needy. Her interest in causes is something she evidently inherited from her parents who met at a blood drive and honeymooned while volunteering for the Peace Corps. Sarah gets up every day at 4 a.m., except for Saturdays, when she sleeps in to 5:30 a.m. She owns only two pairs of socks, thinking that having anymore would be extravagant. She once worked for Rico at the surf shop, and had her father Woody provide electric power by riding an exercise bike. Sarah is very polite and kind, but can also be quite assertive when she needs to. She briefly dated Oliver after they worked on a school project together, but she broke up with him because they had nothing to talk about. She also dated Jackson very briefly after a misunderstanding. Sarah's trademark is saying something very unpleasant, and then saying a cheery "Bye!" and walking away. Sarah also hyperventilates whenever she is in Hannah Montana's presence, apparently unable to pronounce her name. This has now occurred on two occasions, "Money for Nothing, Guilt for Free" in Season 1 and "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office" in Season 4. So far, Sarah has appeared in "Money for Nothing, Guilt for Free", "My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna Be Trouble", "The Idol Side of Me", "Cuffs Will Keep Us Together", "You Are So Sue-able to Me", "Song Sung Bad", "Lilly's Mom Has Got It Goin' On", "Would I Lie to You, Lilly?", "Sweet Home Hannah Montana", "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office" and "Love That Let's Go".

Lilly has been trying to beat Joannie at something since the second grade. She is a vegetarian. In "Joannie B. Goode", Joannie starts to date Oliver much to the dismay of Lilly and Miley. However, after a sleepover, Lilly and Joannie learn that they have a lot in common and they become friends, driving Miley to become more competitive. Joannie and Oliver continue to date for 11 more episodes until their break up in "Papa's Got a Brand New Friend". In "Sweet Home Hannah Montana", it is shown that Joannie also became friends with Miley. So far, Joannie appeared in "Cuffs Will Keep Us Together", "Joannie B. Goode", "Don't Go Breaking My Tooth", "Papa's Got a Brand New Friend", "Sweet Home Hannah Montana" and "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office". It is revealed in Joannie B. Goode that she is not a fan of Hannah Montana and actually dislikes her music, though she quickly changes her mind in Hannah Montana to the Principle's Office when Hannah accidentally called her by her first name before being formally introduced, with Joannie claiming Her starpower cut right through my macho facade. It is said that Joannie's parents and Sarah's parents are dating, so it is possible that they may have become stepsisters after the show had ended.
• Thor is from fictional Mooville, Minnesota. He first appeared in "Me and Rico Down by the School Yard", as the new kid at Seaview High. Thor became acquainted with Jackson on the first day of school, to which Thor quickly labeled him as his new best friend, much to Jackson's annoyance. Later, Jackson remembered what it was like for him to be the new kid that everyone thought was a loser, and stuck up for Thor when he was being ridiculed by the other students. Thor usually comes off as being very friendly and has been known to be totally oblivious to when people make fun of him, or when he is found annoying to others. Thor was also seen in "You Are So Sue-able to Me" and "Get Down and Study-udy-udy". Thor is mentioned in "You Gotta Not Fight for Your Right to Party" in which he lends Jackson his pickup truck.

Johnny is a fan of Hannah Montana, and gets her autograph after her Los Angeles concert. He asks her to sign it to Johnny, claiming that Johnny is his little brother. Johnny is not seen again until close to the end of the second season in "We're All On This Date Together". His two-year absence was the result of going to school in Arizona which is reference to Bleu's role as Chad Danforth in High School Musical, which is actually set in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rico calls Johnny "Poodle Dude", referencing his curly afro. He apparently comes from a rich family as he buys a dinner date with Hannah Montana for $19,000 at a charity auction.

  Other characters

• Blue Jeans is Miley's horse. His first appearance was in '. In "Miley Says Goodbye?", Miley brings him to Malibu. It is possible that the Hannah-song "Old Blue Jeans" is a reference to him, as Miley recalled in "Love That Let's Go" how she named him because he was tugging on her old blue jeans.
• Mikayla is a pop star who is very similar to Hannah, but is so far much less successful due to Hannah being in the industry for longer. Hannah first meets Mikayla on Colin Lassiter's television show where, on air, the two girls share kind and supportive words. After cutting to commercials, Mikayla bluntly informs Hannah that she despises her, starting a rivalry between the girls. Hannah and Mikayla appear together with Lassiter a second time for a telethon fundraiser where they trade insults. However, to the public, the girls pretend to be friends. Mikaylas first top 10 hit is "If Cupid Had a Heart". Like Hannah Montana, Mikayla's career also includes acting. Her film debut is Roger Bucks: Intergalactic Bounty Hunter in which she stars as "Alien Babe" alongside Jake Ryan. Though her character may appear arrogant and shallow based on her behavior towards Hannah, Mikayla actually has been shown to have a much softer side towards others. Mikayla appears in "I Want You to Want Me... to Go to Florida," "That's What Friends Are For?," and " Uncle Earl." Mikayla's music is panned by critic Barney Bittman who calls her a "teen poop sensation," and says "If Mikayla had a heart, she'd stop singing!" Though Mikayla hates Hannah, she really likes Miley and considers Miley her friend though she doesn't like Lilly.

She seems to have a one-sided crush on Robby.
• Colin Lasitter is a talkshow host. He is often blunt, asks very un-maneuverable questions, overly dramatic, but also is friendly throughout his six episode appearances in seasons 1-4. Considering that he was the first to interview Hannah, and that he created a bond with her long before her secret came out, he was initially upset at Miley for doing her big reveal on rival talk show host Jay Leno's show, and then an in-depth interview with news anchor Robin Roberts, leaving him last in line with her interview. Miley's ditching of the famous blonde wig caused many angry parents to call in and complain about her actions in "killing-off Hannah", much in the same way fans of the series responded negatively towards Miley Cyrus' more provocative image at the time.
