Tilly Thompson (Audrey Whitby) is the main villainess of "Bloggers & Butterflies", episode 1.05 of Austin & Ally (airdate January 15, 2012).
Tilly was in the kindergarten class of Ally Dawson and both girls wrote songs to be featured in their insect-themed spring concert. Tilly wrote "The Ladybug Song" while Ally wrote "The Butterfly Song". Tilly's song was not well-received while Ally's was praised (though she later delusionally believed the opposite). When Ally's song was chosen to be in the concert, Tilly threw a tantrum and vowed to make Ally pay. Later, as a teen, Tilly went about getting her revenge by targetting Austin Moon, who Ally worked alongside in regards to their music careers. Tilly created a blog under the name "Miami H8ter Girl" and began stalking Austin, taking embarrassing pictures and videos of him to post on her site. She also posted content that made Austin look bad to ruin his career (which works, as it results in one of his shows being cancelled).
When Tilly was caught and unmasked by Austin, Ally, and their friends Dez and Trish, Tilly showed how she had been able to stalk Austin without him noticing, proclaiming herself to be a "master of disguise". She also revealed that she was actually a fan of Austin, meaning her scheme was purely based off her vendetta against Ally. After revealing the events from kindergarten, Dez accidentally suggested that Tilly get revenge on Ally directly, which she decides to do by exploiting Ally's stage fright (which Dez also reveals). The evil Tilly gives Ally an ultimatum: either she performed her Butterfly song for a show at the mall, or she would continue to use her blog to destroy Austin's career.
Ally, despite her crippling fear of singing in public, decided to go through with it for Austin's sake. But Austin, not wanting Ally to be humiliated, went onstage to sing her song in her place. Angered, Tilly went onstage and told Austin this wasn't their deal, revealing to the attending audience that she was Miami H8ter Girl and was doctoring all the content she posted against Austin. Tilly was booed offstage and Austin began singing Ally's song, saying it was "the best song written by a 5-year-old". Tilly broke down and later had a meltdown, destroying the stage. A video of the breakdown was posted online and went viral, resulting in the embarrassed Tilly shutting down her blog.
