However, in the end, she often makes the right decisions. Miley often lies or goes through over-the-top scandals to get what she wants or make someone she loves happy, even when they tell her not to. She is considered a girly-girl and southern belle or who loves to shop, and has a very determined, bold attitude. She is more into music than sports, except cheerleading and horseback riding. Miley is funny, stylish, compassionate, hyper, and sometimes negative when she gets caught. Lilly has lived with Miley's family since Season 3, when her mother got a job in Atlanta, and she stayed with them for the rest of the show, so that she wouldn't have to move to Atlanta or live with her father, who lives an hour away. This house is more advanced, with an all new secret Hannah Montana closet, like the one she had in their old home. This house is a mixture of her life in Los Angeles and her life in Nashville, with the beach and a ranch. Instead, heartbroken to leave her friends and life in California, her father buys a big house, close to their old home in Malibu, where they have a ranch to keep Blue Jeans in. In Miley Says Goodbye?, she has a dream about her horse, Blue Jeans that convinces her to move back to Tennessee. Although she is a pop music superstar, she will always be a "country girl at heart". Her secret causes a bunch of chaos in the show. The most important reason was so that she could get accepted at Sanford University to go with Lilly, which she did not because she had a lack of extracurricular activity. In "I'll Always Remember You", she reveals her secret to the world for unknown reasons. She also created Hannah so that people won't like her just for being famous, and so that when she walks out on the streets, she will never get mobbed by fans or paparazzi. She created her so that she can live her dream while being a normal teenager at the same time, while going to public school. She moved to live her dream, which is to be a popstar, although she is only famous while being Hannah Montana, her alter ego. Miley and her parents, and her brother Jackson moved to Los Angeles, California before her mother died, in about fifth grade and attended Seaview Elementary, Middle, and High School, and they bought a Malibu beach house. She then threw up on the governor and always hated raspberries after that. She won the 1999 County Fair Pie Eating Contest for eating five raspberry pies in 10 minutes. As a farm girl, she has a handful of pets, such as her horse Blue Jeans, and a pet pig named Luann, to name a few, but most of her animals and family are away in Nashville.
On December 25, 2000, Miley got a guitar for Christmas, shown in the episode I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak. She lived with her brother, Jackson Stewart, her father (former country musician and Hannah's manager), Robby Ray Stewart, and her mother, Susan Stewart, who has been dead before the show due to unknown reasons. Miley was born in Nashville (in real life, Franklin), Tennessee on November 23, 1992.
