Character information
Lilly is the best friend of Miley Stewart and Oliver Oken. She is a huge Hannah Montana fan, she was even one before she found out Miley's secret. Lilly discovered Miley was Hannah Montana when she sneaked into Hannah's dressing room after a concert.[4] When Lilly slipped up and called Miley 'Hannah', Miley became upset, but the two eventually made up, and remained best friends. Though they still argue at times, they always make up. Lilly is outgoing, fun, a little bit skater, a little tomboy-ish, and definitely a good friend. Lilly cannot sing, and neither can anyone else in her family, as mentioned in the episode Song Sung Bad. Whenever Lilly seems to like an idea of another character (usually Miley), she will respond with either a "happy dance", or by saying, "Ooh Lily Likely" or "Ooh! Lola Likey!" when she is dressed as her alias, Lola.
Lola
Lilly attends Hannah Montana events with Hannah in disguise, using the alias "Lola". Lola introduced herself as Lola LaFonda to Hannah and Robbie Ray in her first appearance in the episode Miley Get Your Gum when she accompanied Hannah for the first time. Lilly settled on Lola Luftnagle after she introduced herself to Hannah's friends Traci and Evan in the episode It's My Party And I'll Lie If I Want To, and has used Lola Luftnagle in all subsequent episodes whenever she has introduced herself. She normally goes by, and is most commonly known as, just "Lola". Lola usually wears a short wig, although the color changes, and she usually dresses in crazy outfits that go with her current hairstyle. She occasionally wears a longer wig, and once used her dog Thor as an accessory in the episode Miley Get Your Gum.
Character description
Lilly has blonde hair, and loves skateboarding and surfing. She also loves cute clothes and boys, although she is a very tomboy-ish character. She is usually seen wearing caps or beanies in the first season, but not as much in the second season. Slightly picky about her appearance, Lilly wears contact lenses [5], and can be more excited about wearing cool clothes instead of solving problems, and she loves Miley/Hannah's shoes. She was a cheerleader in the episode Mascot Love, but nothing more was ever heard about her cheerleading career after that. At one point, Lilly had a crush on teen actor Jake Ryan (Cody Linley), but she later convinced Miley to pursue him instead, after realizing how much he likes Miley. She also had a crush on Oliver in pre-school, but she insists she only held his hand so she could borrow his crayons "with the sharpener". In high school, Lilly gets asked to the dance by Matt Marshall, a boy Lilly has been crushing on for some time. But when she changes her image from skater-type girl to preppy-type girl (which Miley convinced her to do), he stands her up. It all works out in the end when Matt confesses to having a crush on "the old Lilly", and likes her just the way she is. The two then become a couple, although Matt wouldn't appear in any future episodes. Later, Lilly dates Lucas, and Miley finds him cheating on Lilly with another girl in the episode My Best Friend's Boyfriend. She has a father who likes bran muffins, and it is revealed in one episode that he is an accountant. In Lilly's Mom Has Got It Goin' On, it is also revealed that Lilly's parents are divorced. It is shown in When You Wish You Were the Star that Lilly has a birthmark shaped like a poodle on her butt. In that parallel world, Lilly is a mean girl, and befriends Amber and Ashley.[6] She tends to be over-dramatic and sensitive. When Miley fought her for Jake, and then tried to apologize, Lilly said "It's okay. I'll just stay here, and wash my wig...(starts to cry)...with my tears!"
Relationships
Lilly had several relationships, but none of them were successful, as she has either been cheated on, or was stood up. Here are the relationships she had:
- Oliver Oken: In pre-school, she liked Oliver as a crush, but Lilly insists that she only held his hand because she wanted his crayons ("the 64-pack with the sharpener"). The two are now best friends.
- Jake Ryan: Date for the '70s Dance (More Than a Zombie to Me), who is not her boyfriend, but whom she once had a crush on.
- Matt Marshall: Date for a high school dance (You Are So Sue-Able To Me). She turned all "girly" after a make-over from Miley, and he didn't pick her up to go to the dance, although they reconciled at the end of the episode.
- Lucas: Ex-boyfriend who cheated on her with another girl, and then flirted with Hannah Montana (My Best Friend's Boyfriend). He said he already had two girlfriends, but he'd dump them both for Hannah.
Trivia
- In Torn Between Two Hannahs, Lilly teases Miley over her paranoid attitude towards Miley's cousin Luanne, saying, "Next, you're going to start saying, "she sees dead people!" ' This is a play on a famous line from the movie The Sixth Sense, in which Emily's brother, Haley Joel Osment, starred.
- In Get Down Study-udy-udy and "I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak", Lilly sings without sounding tone deaf at all. However in Song Sung Bad, Lilly's singing voice is completely different, with her sounding tone deaf and out of tune.
Production notes
During production Lilly's name was Lilly Romero, according to the Hannah Montana DVD Livin' the Rock Star Life's special feature Miley's Audition Tapes.
