List of Hannah Montana characters
Encyclopedia
This list of Hannah Montana characters includes characters appearing in the Disney Channel
series Hannah Montana
as well as the related film Hannah Montana: The Movie
. The characters listed are almost all fictional
, except for stars who appear as themselves. Still others, such as Aunt Dolly, intentionally blur the line between fiction and non-fiction.
At the beginning of season 1, only a few characters seem to know Miley's secret. These include her immediate family (Robby Ray and Jackson), Oliver and Lilly. As the series progresses, an increasing number of people are revealed to know the secret. These include members of her extended family (Mamaw Ruthie, Aunt Dolly, Uncle Earl, Luann, etc.), Lilly's mother, Jake Ryan, Roxy Roker, and Officer Diaria and his daughter. In the movie, Hannah's publicist Vita is aware and her secret is publicly revealed to the entire town of Crowley Corners. During season 4, Jackson's girlfriend Siena, the President of the United States, Rico, and the entire world finally learn the truth.
(season 1–4) is an Emmy
-nominated television and film actor best known for his role as a zombie slayer on the teen sitcom Zombie High. He has an on/off relationship with Miley, something that has been ongoing throughout much of the series.
Jake got his start in acting as a baby, appearing in commercials for "Wonder Diapers". He later got his big break in Zombie High (Buffy the Vampire Slayer parody) and went on to star in feature films such as Teen Bigfoot, Teen Gladiator and the Sword of Fire, and Roger Buck: Intergalactic Bounty Hunter (Buck Rogers
parody). He claims that his box office appeal is just as big as Shia LaBeouf's
. He also makes a brief appearance in the show Gotcha! (Candid Camera
parody).
Jake first meets Miley at Seaview Middle School where he attends as a part-time learner before relocating. Jake's arrival at Seaview causes a big stir among the students who are all big fans of Zombie High and are starstruck at meeting him. Jake basks in the attention, although Miley, who is a superstar herself, fails to be impressed at his star power and believes that Jake should be treated as a normal kid. This is what first attracts Jake to Miley, and with time, Miley begins to realize that she has feelings for him too, even though she refused to admit it at first.
Throughout the course of Jake and Miley's relationship, the series explores one of its central themes – the ups and downs of celebrity life. Jake serves as Miley's foil
and represents the over-exposed lifestyle she is trying to avoid. While Jake often enjoys the benefits of being famous, he also admits to Miley "sometimes I wish I could just turn it off".
Jake and Miley first start dating in "People Who Use People", but their relationship lasts only a matter of minutes as Jake kisses Miley and then tells her he is going away to Romania
for four months. (While he is there, it is extended to six months.) He returns in "Achy Jakey Heart" where Miley learns to forgive Jake. They restart their relationship. Jake reveals his real name 'Leslie' to Miley as his biggest secret, and says that he is glad that they don't have to keep any more secrets from each other. This has guilt over Miley until she finally reveals to him that she is Hannah Montana. Their relationship, however, comes to an end again after Miley learns that Jake is too self-centered and they later agree to be just friends. However, in "That's What Friends Are For?", Miley realizes that she is not over Jake, as she feels jealous about him spending time with Mikayla. Jake again returns in "Jake... a Little Piece of My Heart" where it is revealed that both Jake and Miley still love each other, but won't admit it. The relationship is on again for the third time in "He Could Be the One". Robby seems to have second thoughts about Jake because he has broken Miley's heart multiple times, but nevertheless he is supportive of the relationship.
In the season 4 episode "It's the End of Jake As We Know It" Oliver gets a picture text to his phone of Jake cheating on Miley, so Miley confronts Jake during the taping of a Christmas special with guest star Sheryl Crow
. This ends their relationship for good.
(season 1–2) is Miley's personal bodyguard who works for her when she's Hannah, and sometimes when she's Miley. Roxy takes her job very seriously, and is known for her ridiculous attempts to keep Miley safe from danger. She is like family to the Stewarts, and sometimes watches the kids as a nanny, or helping cure Robby of sickness.
Roxy used to be a Marine
where she learned most of her techniques. She was also a bodyguard for the famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma
. She later worked as a security guard, and while on duty at a place called "Wig City", she met Miley and Robby for the first time. Miley was trying to create the Hannah disguise, and Roxy helped her pick an appropriate wig. She then took a job as her bodyguard. She briefly worked for the Secret Service
presidential protection unit after saving the president from contaminated sushi
. After this she returned to work for Hannah. Roxy also has 60 hours of firefighter training.
Roxy's catchphrases are "Roxy like a Puma!" and "I got my eyes on you!" Among her special abilities are dicing a pineapple with a karate chop, crushing a baseball into fine powder, and squeezing through air ducts. In "Schooly Bully", Roxy attends Miley's school under the pretense of keeping her safe from a bully, while all along trying to teach Miley that she can deal with the bully herself. Roxy owns a pair of bulletproof pantyhose, which she says "keeps bullets out; keeps Roxy in".
Roxy is single and lives in an apartment with her dog named Diddy. She earlier had a goldfish named Denzel. The only time Roxy is seen to be intimidated was upon meeting an old high school friend. Roxy was insecure about her life, but later learned that she didn't need to be.
Roxy appears in "It's a Mannequin's World", "On the Road Again?", "Schooly Bully", "Bad Moose Rising", "Take This Job and Love It", "When You Wish You Were the Star", "I Want You to Want Me... to Go to Florida", and "We're All On This Date Together".
and Ashley Dewitt portrayed by Anna Maria Perez de Taglé
(season 1–4) are mean and are Miley and Lilly's classmates and bitter rivals. They are typical school diva
s, very popular among their peers and spoiled by their parents' money. Amber and Ashley are ironically both big Hannah Montana fans, despite their disdain for Miley. The girls first appear in the pilot episode and have since appeared in a total of 12 episodes, although they only appeared once in season three.
Amber seems to be the more competent of the duo with Ashley typically following her lead. Amber is the editor of the school yearbook, a great singer, and is the first in the class to hold a valid drivers license. Amber also does well in school, and it is revealed that Ashley often cheats off her test papers. They both try out for the cheer leading squad but get turned down. Ashley claims it's because she's "too pretty". They are antagonistic towards Miley and Lilly, banishing them to the "losers' table" at lunch and placing them at the bottom of the "cool list", their annual listing of their classmates by their perceived coolness
.
In "The Idol Side of Me", Miley conspires with Lilly to embarrass Amber on live television with Lilly's "Green Gas" science project, thinking she deserves it. Miley (as Hannah) has her first honest conversation with Amber backstage and learns that when she was younger, Amber was bullied and made fun of. Miley begins to feel sorry for her, and makes her promise to become a kinder person.
In "Achey Jakey Heart", Amber and Ashley try to become Miley and Lilly's friends after Miley starts dating Jake Ryan. This gives Miley a small taste of why she maintains her Hannah secret, as Amber and Ashley only want to be her friend for selfish reasons.
Whenever Amber and Ashley happen to say something at the same time, they say together "Oooo, tsss!" and touch index fingers. This celebratory gesture becomes their trademark and a source of great annoyance to Miley and Lilly. At the end of the pilot episode, Miley and Lilly do the gesture in mockery of Amber and Ashley. Miley later initiates it with Lilly, but she declines, and they decide on a new best friends handshake. In "It's a Mannequin's World", Roxy initiates the gesture with Robby, but he declines.
Amber and Ashley appear in "Lilly, Do You Want to Know a Secret?", "It's a Mannequin's World", "Mascot Love", "Ooh Ooh Itchy Woman", "New Kid in School", "Good Golly, Miss Dolly", "Money for Nothing, Guilt for Free", "The Idol Side of Me", "You Are So Sue-able to Me", "Achey Jakey Heart Part One", "When You Wish You Were the Star", "Song Sung Bad", "Uptight (Oliver's Alright)", "Ready, Set, Don't Drive" and "Wherever I go".
(season 1–3) is a socialite and friend of Hannah Montana. Her record producer is her father and Miley counts his self-centered daughter, Traci as a close friend of Hannah's. Traci has had a frequent dislike for Hannah's friend, Lola, claiming that she is 'so uncool'. She has however, reluctantly accepted Lola at social events and maintains a friendly relationship with Hannah because of this. Traci talks with a nasal voice that is often noticed by others, which she claims is a "deviated septum" or else a "nasal condition". She and Jake Ryan prank Hannah on a reality TV show called "Gotcha!", in which they make Hannah believe that the two are getting married. Hannah once went to Traci for boyfriend help when she asked to use her "faux-beau" to fool Lilly and Oliver (who believe that Miley is alone now that the two are dating). She seems to have a crush on Jackson, and is frequently having celebrity parties, in which Hannah and her friends go to (although Lilly only goes for the publicity).
Traci appears in "It's My Party and I'll Lie If I Want To", "Torn Between Two Hannahs", "My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna Be Trouble", "Cuffs Will Keep Us Together", "When You Wish You Were the Star", "Don't Stop 'Til You Get the Phone", "The Test of My Love", "Uptight (Oliver's Alright)", "Once, Twice, Three Times Afraidy", "Jake... Another Little Piece of My Heart", and "For (Give) a Little Bit".
(season 1), also called "Coop", is Jackson's best friend in season one. Cooper has not made an appearance outside of season one, although he is mentioned and it's assumed they still hang out. Cooper often plays the straight man
to Jackson's antics. He works at a movie theater
called "Nick's Fat City". He enjoys Shirley Temple cocktails, calling them "fruit
y and refreshing". He also has a secret love of baking, something he keeps secret because he believes it is a primarily female activity.
Cooper has a little sister named "Olivia" (Rae'Ven Larrymore Kelly) who is a student on the East Coast. In "I Can't Make You Love Hannah if You Don't", Olivia visits Malibu on break where she meets Jackson. She agrees to go out with Jackson. Cooper gets mad at Jackson for flirting with his sister then he learns Olivia is Coopers sister and she acts innocent. The incident causes a temporary rift in Jackson and Cooper's friendship. They are good friends again after Cooper realizes that everything was Olivia's fault.
Cooper appears in "Miley Get Your Gum", "She's a Supersneak", "I Can't Make You Love Hannah If You Don't", "It's a Mannequin's World", "Oops I Meddled Again", and "Money for Nothing, Guilt for Free". Cooper is mentioned but unseen in the episodes "My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna Be Trouble" and "Bad Moose Rising" where he and Jackson have plans to go to a Los Angeles Dodgers
game. In "You Give Lunch a Bad Name" Jackson says he had to miss Coop's party because Mamaw came to visit.
He can't stand the Stewarts, saying "I hate neighbors! That's why I have the big hedge!" He complains of leaves from their tree falling into his outdoor hot tub and makes fun of Jackson's new used car. His wife once had a car similar to Jackson's but traded it in because she thought it was too "girly". Mr. Dontzig tricks the Stewarts into a competition to see who can make their house look the scariest for Halloween, while all he wanted to do was attract more children to his house. This plan of course, backfires on him. He takes advantage of the Stewarts' generosity by feigning sickness to have them watch his bratty eight-year-old niece "Patty" (Savannah Stehlin). Patty becomes the center of a bet between Jackson and Miley in "Bad Moose Rising".
Dontzig is an alumnus of the (fictional) State University of Santa Barbara
and is a generous donor to the school. To write a letter of recommendation
to the school in support of Jackson's matriculating, Dontzig has Jackson perform menial favors for him.
Dontzig is the only character in Hannah Montana to be portrayed by two separate actors. Paul Vogt debuted the role in "Miley Get Your Gum", and his identical twin brother, Peter Allen Vogt, has performed the role ever since in the episodes "Torn Between Two Hannahs", "The Idol Side of Me", "Bad Moose Rising", and "Killing Me Softly with His Height". Paul returned in the episode "Killing Me Softly with His Height" in the role of Dontzig's sister, "Donna", who is a huge Robbie Ray fan. Dontzig also has a cousin named "Francesca" (Lisa Rinna
) who is also a Robbie Ray fan.
(season 2–3) was Robby's wife and Miley and Jackson's mother. Susan is the daughter of Grandma Ruby. She died three years prior to season one, but is often mentioned by the Stewarts and appears in household pictures. She also appears in person in three episodes by way of old home videos and various dream sequences. These are "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak", "The Way We Almost Weren't", and "He Could Be the One".
Although they were both from Tennessee
, Robby and Susan first met on the west coast in a small roadside cafe off Interstate 10
. Susan was working as a waitress at the cafe during her college
days and Robby visited while driving home to Nashville. Robby claimed he fell in love with Susan immediately, and that he knew that Susan loved him too because she laughed at all his jokes. However, when Robby first asked Susan out she turned him down because she was already dating someone else. But with a little encouragement from Aunt Dolly, Robby persisted and Susan finally went out with him. Robby tells Oliver that he first got Susan to go out with him by using the line
"My Robby name is 'Hi'."
Susan was a supportive parent, but she was more strict than Robby and wouldn't let the children have sugar before bed because it gave them nightmare
s, as seen in "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak". She was a skilled shopper and Miley remembers that she had great taste in fashion. Robby remembers that when he and Susan went shopping, all he did was carry the bags.
Susan died at the age of 33 about the time Miley was 10 years old, of unknown reasons. The family's dealing with her death is first explored in the episode "She's a Supersneak" in which Miley overreacts to Robby dating another woman. Miley dreams about meeting her in "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak" because she is afraid she will lose her singing voice. Susan comforts Miley and teaches her that even if she can't be Hannah Montana any more, just being Miley is still "pretty darn terrific". In "He Could Be the One", Robby shares a video of Susan with Miley which had been pre-recorded, anticipating a future personal struggle Miley would deal with. In the video Susan tells Miley to always listen to her heart. In "Super (stitious) Girl", it is learned that Susan gave Miley a special ankle charm bracelet
which says "Dream". The bracelet is worn by Miley in every one of her Hannah concerts until it was thrown overboard the SS Tipton by London Tipton
, who was disgusted when told by Miley that it contained fake diamond
s.
Robby admits that he misses Susan, and when she died he didn't think that he could raise the kids by himself, but he found the strength by feeling her presence with him. In "What I Don't Like About You", Jackson plans to lie to a college recruiter in order to be accepted into college. Robby is disappointed, but rather than stopping him, he points to a picture of Susan and says that she would not be proud of him. The so-called "Mom card" works in making Jackson finally tell the truth. In the pilot episode, Robby tells Miley that Susan would have been proud of her performance at the Los Angeles concert.
(season 4) is Jackson's long term girlfriend. She works a job as a bikini model. She lives next door to the Stewarts and has a cousin named TJ. Every time Jackson talks about her, he always stutters saying the word "bikini." In "Sweet Home Hannah Montana", Siena and Jackson start out as being friends, but throughout the season, Siena shows to have true feelings for Jackson and cares for him for who he is. In "Hannah Montana to the Principal's Office," she shows to have an immediate interest in Jackson and asks him out, even admitting to him that boys have always asked her out before, but that was the first time she herself had to ask. In "California Screamin'," Jackson admits to Siena that even though he wants to be more than just friends with her, he still feels insecure because he is not like the other guys she dates. Siena admits to Jackson that he is right, because he is "way better," and they share their first kiss. In
"De-De-De-Do, Da-Don't-Don't-Don't Tell My Secret," while visiting Jackson, she mistakenly thinks Jackson is cheating on her with Hannah Montana after seeing Miley outside in her Hannah disguise through the kitchen window. In the end, to save their relationship, Miley shows Siena her closet. This results in Siena finding out that Miley is really Hannah. In the fourth season
she has been in every episode but "It's the End of the Jake As We Know It," where she is modeling in Peru.
(season 3–season 4) is Hannah/Miley's romance interest. In "He Could Be The One," Miley repeatedly tries but fails to tell her dad that she's dating Jake Ryan again. Soon, Robby winds up believing that she's hiding something from him. To make her father thankful for Jake, she pretends to like her bad boy band mate Jesse, but gets in over her head when she starts to have feelings for him so it's up to Robby to help Miley listen to her heart and chose the guy who could "be the one." In the end, Hannah tells Jesse that there is just something between her and Jake that is special and picks Jake after some help from a video of her mother and apparent intervention by her to help. In "Been Here All Along", Jesse starts seeing Miley and Miley cancels a special father-daughter afternoon with her dad to go on a first date with Jesse instead. After Jesse receives a phone call from his deployed father, their heartfelt conversation leads Miley to realize how fortunate she is to have her father close to home whenever she needs him. Then, in "I'll Always Remember You", it is revealed that Jesse knew that Miley was Hannah when he told Miley that his dad was in Afghanistan. Jesse ends up figuring out that Miley is Hannah before she could even tell him, claiming that "You guys have the same cute smile." Things go from bad to worse when Jesse kisses Hannah on stage and is soon criticized for two-timing Miley, although this is sure to stop over after Miley reveals that she is Hannah to the entire world.
Mikayla (Selena Gomez
) is a pop star who is very similar to Hannah, but is so far much less successful. 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 "(We're So Sorry) Uncle Earl." Mikayla's music is panned by critic Barney Bittman (Gilbert Gottfried
) 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 (not knowing they are the same person) and considers Miley her friend though she doesn't like Lilly.

Amber seems to be the more competent of the duo with Ashley typically following her lead. Amber is the editor of the school yearbook, a great singer, and is the first in the class to hold a valid drivers license. Amber also does well in school, and it is revealed that Ashley often cheats off her test papers. They both try out for the cheer leading squad but get turned down. Ashley claims it's because she's "too pretty". They are antagonistic towards Miley and Lilly, banishing them to the "losers' table" at lunch and placing them at the bottom of the "cool list", their annual listing of their classmates by their perceived coolness

In "The Idol Side of Me", Miley conspires with Lilly to embarrass Amber on live television with Lilly's "Green Gas" science project, thinking she deserves it. Miley (as Hannah) has her first honest conversation with Amber backstage and learns that when she was younger, Amber was bullied and made fun of. Miley begins to feel sorry for her, and makes her promise to become a kinder person.
In "Achey Jakey Heart", Amber and Ashley try to become Miley and Lilly's friends after Miley starts dating Jake Ryan. This gives Miley a small taste of why she maintains her Hannah secret, as Amber and Ashley only want to be her friend for selfish reasons.
Whenever Amber and Ashley happen to say something at the same time, they say together "Oooo, tsss!" and touch index fingers. This celebratory gesture becomes their trademark and a source of great annoyance to Miley and Lilly. At the end of the pilot episode, Miley and Lilly do the gesture in mockery of Amber and Ashley. Miley later initiates it with Lilly, but she declines, and they decide on a new best friends handshake. In "It's a Mannequin's World", Roxy initiates the gesture with Robby, but he declines.

She has however, reluctantly accepted Lola at social events and maintains a friendly relationship with Hannah because of this.

She and Jake Ryan prank Hannah on a reality TV show called "Gotcha!", in which they make Hannah believe that the two are getting married. Hannah once went to Traci for boyfriend help when she asked to use her "faux-beau" to fool Lilly and Oliver (who believe that Miley is alone now that the two are dating).

His wife once had a car similar to Jackson's but traded it in because she thought it was too "girly". Mr. Dontzig tricks the Stewarts into a competition to see who can make their house look the scariest for Halloween, while all he wanted to do was attract more children to his house.
