[edit] Recurring

[edit] Amber and Ashley

Amber Addison (Shanica Knowles) and Ashley Dewitt (Anna Maria Perez de Tagle) are bullies at Miley, Lilly, and Oliver's school. The two appear ever since the pilot episode.[1] The two appear as enemies and foils to Miley and Lilly's school reputation, and have, on several occasions managed to get people to dislike the two.[2] Amber is highly arrogant, and Ashley appears to be a less intelligent version of her.[2] The two have a signature trademark on the show; putting their fingers together while saying "Ooo, tsss" (usually employed when they say the same thing at the same time).[1] Amber is known for her powering singing voice,[3] though Ashley is also known for her faulty voice.[2] It is revealed in "The Idol Side of Me" that the two (mainly Amber) are huge fans of Hannah Montana, and Ashley says in a later episode that she considers Hannah Montana as "amazing".[3] Although the two dislike Miley, Ashley (and later Amber) both arrive at Miley's home with the attempt of being her best friend after learning Miley was dating celebrity actor Jake Ryan.[4] Amber later uses her powerful singing voice to humiliate Lilly by challenging her in a contest.[3]

[edit] Mr. Corelli

Francis Corelli (Greg Baker) Miley, Lilly, and Oliver's teacher at school, had taught them English[5], Geography and Drama[6] in their middle school, but teaches them History in high school.[7] He still lives with his mother, and is known for his exuberant and loud personality.[5] He often tends to favour several students over others, as seen in "New Kid in School" and "Song Sung Bad" where he favors celebrity Jake Ryan and then Amber Addison.[5] In When You Wish You Were The Star, he is seen as Hannah Montana's private tutor.[8]

[edit] Sarah

"Saint" Sarah (Morgan York) is a good-willed peer of Miley and her friends. She is an environmentalist,[2] and cares about pollution and has a fear of global warming. Her catchphrase is to generally give bad news to someone, and respond with a happy "bye!" and walk off.[7][9] She briefly dated Oliver until the two realized they had nothing in common,[9] and also dated Jackson after mistaking a hint to be from him, when Rico was the real crush.[3] In order to help her win a charity event, Miley, Lilly, and Oliver decided to use Hannah Montana's influence to help her win (but Amber and Ashley end up winning).[10]

[edit] Jake Ryan

Leslie "Jake" Ryan (Cody Linley) is a famous teen actor and noted celebrity.[5] He is Miley's school mate, and always got on Miley's nerve because he got treated better as he was a celebrity. After many rejections, Miley realizes that she loves him after filming an episode of Zombie High. They become an official couple,[4] but break up after she realizes he can't be a normal person.[11] He is now her close friend.[12]

[edit] Mikayla

Mikayla (Selena Gomez) is a pop star, and Hannah Montana's biggest rival.[13] Unlike Hannah (who had dozens of hits), her only top-ten hit was "If Cupid Had a Heart".[13] Mikayla pretends to be Hannah's friend in the public eye, and is shown to have less experience than Hannah in the musical world.[13] She promises to steal all of Hannah's "fan-nahs" at a charity concert in Florida, a task at which she obviously failed. Hannah calls her "Mik-cockroach".[13] She later appears in "That's What Friends Are For?", where she stars in an upcoming movie with Jake Ryan.[12] She soon befriends Miley, unbeknownst to her that Miley is Hannah.[12] In yet another episode, she is reviewed by a harsh critic, who quotes her song "If Cupid Had a Heart", was a disaster, and says, "If Mikayla had a heart, she'd stop singing."[14] and, "But I bought 2 of her CDs and they were amazing... at blocking out her moose calls!"

[edit] Traci Van Horn

Traci Van Horn (Romi Dames) is the daughter of Hannah's record producer (which is why Miley maintains a friendly relationship with her) [15]who is always involved in the biggest parties, and has a deviated septum, which causes her voice to sound more nasal than the average voice.[16] Miley's cousin Luanne had asked if there was any candy corn in her throat. Her cat is named Madonna.[16] She has sinus problems, and she once shot a "snot rocket" so long that it hit both of the Olsen twins.[16] She also hates Lola, and pretends she doesn't exist. She also thinks Miley's father is "so funny". Roxy calls her "Hannah's squeaky little friend".[17] In the episode My Boyfriend's Jackson and There's Gonna Be Trouble, Jackson accidentally becomes Hannah's boyfriend, and when Traci meets him, despite him being utterly disgusting at the party, she found him "cuter in person" and "so funny".
