Miley has an older brother, Jackson Stewart, and her father is Robby Stewart. Miley Stewart's mother died when she was ten years old, and Miley once wrote a song about how she misses her mother. Her father frequently calls her "Bud" and her brother calls her "Miles." Miley attends Seaview Midddle School, where her best friends are Lilly Truscott and Oliver Oken, and her arch-enemies are Amber and Ashley (Shanica Knowles and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, respectively), two girls who constantly bully her and her friends. She has a crush on Jake Ryan (Cody Linley), the television/film star who goes to her school, and who likes Miley. Jake Ryan and Miley hook up in the episode "People Who Use People." Like most people her age, Miley has ordinary adolescent insecurities.
