However, after killing her sister but failing to get her life back (since her parents still believe her to be Courtney), she starts blaming and seeking revenge against more and more people who played a tangential role at most in causing her problems, and loses whatever sanity she still had, killing or trying to kill nearly a dozen more people in the process.

Pretty Little Liars / int_1a235210	comment	Love-Interest Traitor: The girls ruin many relationships throughout the series by falsely suspecting various love interests or potential love interests of being A or having a connection to them, only to find out too late that it's not true. There are, however, a couple of examples that play it straight: Ali's Pretty Little Lies reveals that Ian wasn't really Courtney's secret paramour; she was just pretending to like him, and actually had a relationship with a guy named Nick Maxwell, an old friend of Ali's. But the end of the book strongly hints, and Deadly confirms, that Nick is actually Alison's boyfriend and accomplice, "Helper A", who only pretended to date Courtney as part of his and Ali's plan to murder her so Ali could get her life back. Though Noel Kahn does love Aria and wasn't helping A stalk and hurt her or the others, Crushed and Deadly reveal that he did know way more about Ali and Courtney than he initially let on, including that they were twins, the "Ali" he went to school with was actually Courtney, and the real Ali was in the Preserve under her name. He visited her frequently and was in love with her, not believing she was crazy (she very much was), and hung out with her several times outside the Preserve before the Liars even found out Ali had a twin. He eventually did abandon Ali for good to date Aria, and cut off all contact with her after she tried to murder the Liars in Wanted, but he knew and kept to himself a lot of important info that, had he shared, could have saved the girls from several dangerous situations and avoided many of their "A" problems. It takes several books for Aria to forgive him for this and get back together with him.

Pretty Little Liars / int_1b590025	comment	Dead All Along: Played with in regards to Courtney. When she initially returns to Rosewood, the Liars take The Reveal that she is Ali's twin, Courtney, at face value, and that their best friend Ali is dead, but then she convinces them that she is actually the friend they knew, and Courtney was the one who really died that night instead of her. By the end, it's revealed that the dead twin is Courtney, but Courtney was the "Ali" they were friends with all along; the twin who's still alive and trying to murder them as A is the real Ali. In Crushed, Hanna meets and befriends a girl named Kyla Kennedy at the burn clinic where she's volunteering in the hopes of getting information out of Graham. After Graham dies right as Hanna was about to get critical info from him, the girls later find out that that real Kyla was discovered to have been murdered several days ago, and conclude that the girl Hanna met was really Alison in disguise.

The second half of the series reveals that she did indeed survive the fire, but is in hiding in or near Rosewood, continuing to torment the girls as A along with Helper A, and while there is a Time Skip of at least six months between Wanted and Twisted, there's no indication given that she went to another school or made any other friends during that time.

Before she befriended the protagonists, Alison had another girl posse with two girls named Riley Wolfe and Naomi Zeigler, before suddenly abandoning them for not much reason at all in favor of the Liars. Courtney ditched them after taking over her sister's life because she didn't know the secrets and inside jokes that the real Alison did and would have been found out as an impostor quickly. Hanna forms one of her own after Mona's demise for a short while with Naomi, Riley, and her stepsister Kate.

Among the suggestions for her replacement is Lucy Hale, who plays Aria in the TV series. When Hanna visits Madison, the girl she framed for the car crash that A got them both into, to apologize, she mentions that she'd mistakenly thought Hanna was "the blonde Pretty Little Liar," an allusion to her being blonde in her more widely-known TV incarnation. In the books, Hanna's a brunette while Spencer is the blonde of the group.

But then Alison's accomplice (Nick) arrives, and this is enough for her to harden her resolve and go through with murdering Courtney for real, even if it does leave her a bit shaken afterwards.

At one point in Wanted, she describes her sister—the "Ali" the Liars knew—as always needing to be better than her at everything and being unwilling to share the spotlight, even though these exact traits were the reason that Ali herself framed Courtney for being crazy and got her sent away to the hospital. She also repeatedly refers to Courtney as "crazy" and "schizo", even though, again, Alison manipulated everyone to believe that about her, and Ali herself—who becomes a psychopathic murderer and sacrifices everyone and everything in a quest for misplaced revenge—is far more crazy than she ever made Courtney appear to be.

Pretty Little Liars / int_42008602	comment	Story Arc: There are four main ones, made up of four books each, though the third and fourth arcs arguably blend into one larger eight-book story. Books 1-4: Trying to figure out who A is, with the secondary goal of finding Ali's killer. The arc concludes with them learning that A is Mona, but not having a decisive answer for who killed Ali. (They think they know, but the next arc reveals that they're wrong.) Books 5-8: Learning the second A's identity, and determining Ali's killer for real this time. Both of them are the same person: the real Alison DiLaurentis, who murdered the "Ali" that the Liars knew, actually her twin sister Courtney. Books 9-12: Gradually revealing the Liars' "summer secrets" (collectively and individually), and learning who the third A is. They eventually conclude that A is still Alison, who survived their encounter at the end of the previous arc, but realize that she also has an accomplice, "Helper A". Books 13-16: Tracking down Ali and "Helper A" (and discovering the latter's identity) to clear their names once and for all after their secrets resurface. Helper A is Nick Maxwell, who is arrested at the end of Book 14, while Ali herself is apprehended in the final installment.

Pretty Little Liars / int_4ee487f2	comment	Evil Makes You Ugly: As a result of living in hiding as A during the third and fourth story arcs, Alison has become this by the end of the series. In Deadly, she's been living in a seemingly abandoned barn, without being able to get proper nutrition or hygiene. By the time the Liars see her, she's bone-thin and one of her teeth has rotted away. Emily's narration describes it as being like if someone scribbled all over the Mona Lisa; "the most beautiful girl" has become "a twisted freak". Conversely, in Vicious, Ali's mom has been helping her hide from the law, and got them both fake IDs; in order to make sure that "Tiffany Day" doesn't at all resemble Alison DiLaurentis, she's become fat and dyed her hair a mousy brown color. Hanna describes her as looking exactly like the kind of girl Ali herself would have once mocked mercilessly.

Pretty Little Liars / int_53c5f30e	type	Happy Ending Override
Pretty Little Liars / int_53c5f30e	comment	Happy Ending Override: Since Wanted was the original final book in the series, it ends with the Liars, though not in perfect places in their lives, at least doing a lot better and feeling optimistic about the future. Once the series was continued with what ended up being eight more books plus two side stories, the new novels (starting with Twisted, the ninth) had to create more conflict for them to deal with, resulting in some of this: The girls get some major Aesop Amnesia about the Character Development they'd had by the end of the first eight books. Spencer is back to being Ã¼ber-competitive and willing to frame other people for her mistakes to come out on top; Hanna, after learning that popularity isn't everything, is also willing to shift blame to others to save her own reputation; Emily, who learned the hard way about how being blinded by love could badly cloud her judgment, makes more awful decisions by letting her heart rule her head; and Aria, though she doesn't get this as bad as the others, still has problems with her conflicting "loner" vs "wanting to belong" mentalities. Similarly, after their experiences with the first two "A"s demonstrated how much keeping secrets and lying could cause problems and wreck your life, their actions over the summer gave each of them an individual major secret and all of them collectively another major secret, all of which they spend much of the second half of the series trying to keep covered up. After fully reuniting as best friends near the end of Wanted, their summer secrets have also driven another wedge between them, as their relationship and levels of closeness are reset to early-series levels by Twisted, and it takes them several books to get back to where they left off in Wanted. Spencer and Andrew Campbell, who have a sweet, fairly solid relationship built up in the second story arc, have had an Offscreen Breakup by Twisted with not much explanation. Though Spencer's parents hadn't gotten back together by the end of Wanted, they were at least trying to mend their family dynamic and all have dinner together once a week. This apparently doesn't last, as Veronica gets a new boyfriend and these gatherings don't continue. Emily's relationship with her family (especially her sister, Carolyn, with whom she always got along pretty well) deteriorates more and more throughout the second half of the series, culminating in her permanently going low-contact with them by the Grand Finale. Actually averted, though, with Spencer and Melissa, whose newfound understanding and desire to be better sisters to each other at the end of Wanted is not undone. They remain on good terms for the rest of the series.

Pretty Little Liars / int_5963b221	comment	Eviler than Thou: The girls first think A is Alison, until her corpse is discovered soon afterwards. They eventually learn that A is Mona. However, Mona denies killing Ali and doesn't know much more than the Liars do about her death (or that Ali even had a twin, Courtney, who was the one who actually died), assuming it was Ian based on Ali's diary entries. After her death, a new A appears, taking advantage of Mona's work. It is revealed to be the real Alison, who was Courtney's killer, and she's far more malicious as A than Mona ever was. Mona doesn't actually kill anyone, and the only people she tries to kill at any point are the Liars (specifically, Hanna and Spencer at different times), her actual targets. Alison, meanwhile, kills numerous other people—such as Ian, Jenna, Tabitha, Gayle, Kyla, and Graham, and attempts to kill Melissa and Iris as well—in her revenge quest on the Liars, simply for knowing too much or being in her way.

Or Is It?, as the small number of open ends and inconsistencies from Wanted have been resolved, and the Liars' character arcs are wrapped up even more neatly.

Pretty Little Liars / int_6d332aea	comment	Driven to Suicide: Toby Cavanaugh kills himself near the end of Flawless after Emily rejects him upon discovering his "secret". (Though it turns out she was wrong about this; she mistakenly thought he was A, but said secret, which the girls only learn after his death, was actually that he used to molest his stepsister, Jenna.) During the Trauma Conga Line of Deadly, Emily comes dangerously close to jumping off a bridge to her death. Her horrified friends and Melissa narrowly talk her down, and she wryly notes that this might not have even worked anyway, since, as a talented swimmer, she probably could have avoided drowning after she jumped. In Vicious, Emily seemingly drowns herself for real, and her friends spend most of the book thinking she's dead. It's subverted, though, at the end, where it's revealed she was Faking the Dead in order to escape the law and track down Alison, which is the only way she can prove her and her friends' innocence. Before the events of The Liars, a girl named Natasha was bullied by a Copycat A until she killed herself. Her full name was Natasha Jamison, and several Chekhov's Gunmen turned out to be related to her. They targeted the Liars for revenge because them telling their story in interviews was what caused the slew of A copycats in the first place.

Pretty Little Liars / int_7ec94d53	comment	Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Courtney DiLaurentis. At first, she and her twin sister, Alison, were the best of friends and as close as could be; however, gradually, Ali's more intense personality caused the more chill, comforting Courtney to become the more popular sister. Ali got jealous of this, and would threaten Courtney into pretending to be her, but always denied it when Courtney told their parents about it, causing the latter to come off as crazy. Courtney was wrongly diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, and spent three years of her life in a mental hospital starting at the age of nine. Her parents sort of forgot about her and treated her like she was unwanted when she came home to visit, staying in a dinky guestroom and not being allowed outside. Her family even changed their last name from Day-DiLaurentis to DiLaurentis, because of the shame of having a child in a mental institution. Is it any wonder Courtney wanted to be free and have her old life back? She eventually does manage to switch places with Alison and form her own group of close friends, but gradually, her paranoia and stress over her sister potentially being released from the hospital and coming back to torment her causes her to treat her friends like shit and alienate them. Finally, Ali does indeed come home and kills Courtney for stealing her life, even though Alison started the whole ordeal and Courtney only wanted the happy life she deserved in the first place.

Pretty Little Liars / int_8b67aba7	comment	Cerebus Retcon: Ali's Pretty Little Lies manages to do this to an already-dark backstory: In Wanted, originally planned to be the final book in the series, the girls learn that the "Ali" they knew was actually Courtney, who was put in a mental hospital years before for repeatedly attempting to impersonate her sister, and finally succeeded in doing so after meeting them. This leads the girls to believe that "Their Ali" was always secretly nuts, and the real Alison was originally a victim who only become the also-crazy psychopath she is by the end of the book thanks to having her life unfairly stolen away from her by her twin. However, this added backstory from Ali's Pretty Little Lies clarifies that, in fact, Courtney was the original victim all along; she was never actually crazy, and Alison framed her for being so and got her institutionalized just to get rid of her out of jealousy since Courtney was the more-well-liked twin. Her switching places with her sister was only an attempt to live the life she always wanted that Alison stole from her. When Ali confronted her about it a couple of years later, Courtney admitted that she just wanted a sister again and wanted to reconcile with her, only for Ali to murder her anyway. Not only does this make Courtney/"Their Ali" far more sympathetic, but it makes "Real Ali" infinitely less so, showing that she killed Courtney over a feud she started in the first place, and there was tons of Psychological Projection going on with the things Ali accused her sister of.

For most of the books, Emily's emotional and over-forgiving nature, as well as her feelings for Ali/Courtney, cause several problems for all of the girls.

In Vicious, she takes it up to eleven: After the girls are arrested for Alison's murder and have no way to prove that she's really still alive, Emily makes a plan that involves taking a leaf out of Ali's book: to fake her death and disappear in order to fly under the radar to find Ali. It works; she successfully fakes her suicide/accidental death, finds Alison (hiding out with her mother), fends off another murder attempt from Ali, gets both Ali and Mrs. D arrested, gets her friends out of jail and all of their charges dropped, and makes sure Alison is sent to an insane asylum, ridding them of her for good.

There are a few different people acting as A throughout the series, and they all qualify as this. The first A, of the first four books, is Mona Vanderwaal, supposedly Hanna's best friend, who actually wants revenge on the girls for the Jenna Thing. The second A, of books 5-8, turns out to be the real Alison DiLaurentis, who has been alive the whole time and, unbeknownst to nearly everyone in town, had a twin sister named Courtney. Courtney was the "Ali" the Liars knew as their best friend, and she's the one who actually died. Alison is still A for the final 8 books, but she also has an accomplice, "Helper A". He turns out to be Nick Maxwell, a.k.a. Tripp, whom Iris and Courtney both believe at different times to be their boyfriend, but is actually Ali's boyfriend. Furthermore, books 9-13 detail how each of the girls met a seemingly-innocuous guy during their separate summers; Book 14, "Deadly", reveals that all four of these boys were actually Nick in disguise.

Pretty Little Liars / int_b14ca7ba	comment	Two Aliases, One Character: "Helper A" in the third and fourth arcs takes this up to eleven, as the person who caused or at least was part of all of the girls' summer secrets under the aliases of: "Easy A" Phineas, who gave Spencer study drugs to help with her college tests. She was eventually forced to frame another student for being the dealer to avoid charges. Derrick, Emily's confidant during her pregnancy, who encouraged Emily to give her baby to Gayle (a rather unstable woman who was Tabitha's stepmother) instead of her original choices for the adoption, which Emily almost went through with until she realized Gayle's instability and changed her mind. Jackson, the Jerkass bartender who got Madison dangerously drunk and just laughed about it; Hanna driving her home as a result led to a car accident and her framing Madison for drunk driving. Olaf, who got Aria to help him steal a painting from a museum in Iceland, nearly leading to her arrest by the police had Hanna not helped her escape. His real name is Nick Maxwell, also known by his nickname of "Tripp". He is Iris's unrequited crush and "Ali's" (Courtney's) real secret boyfriend (rather than Ian, whom she was only pretending to like as a cover for her relationship with Nick). He is actually Alison's boyfriend and has been ever since she was at the Preserve, promising to help her get revenge on her sister for stealing her life and on the Liars. He used Iris's feelings for him to manipulate her, and dated Courtney merely as a ploy to gain her trust so he could more easily help Ali murder her later.

Mona witnessed the Jenna Thing, and because she was friends with Jenna and got scarred during it, vowed to get revenge on the girls, even though Jenna herself did not want this because it was a prank that she planned together with Ali that went wrong. Mona stopped being friends with Jenna when the latter wouldn't tell the truth about the incident, but was still determined to seek vengeance.

After Ali disappeared later that same night, Spencer then repressed the memory because of the trauma. When she later remembers part of this by the time of the series, she starts to believe she may have killed Alison in this incident, and only later does she recall the full encounter and realize that A was messing with her.

The worst part? It turns out that Courtney was never the crazy one in the first place, having been framed by her sister who successfully tricked them into believing this, and Courtney was much closer all along to the "perfect daughter" that they falsely believed Alison to be.

Lampshaded by Hanna to the police in Toxic after several instances of them refusing to believe the girls about Ali still being alive and after them, including her attempt to strangle and drown Emily: "Do you completely disregard all of your victims' testimonies, or just ours?"

It's finally revealed to be Mona, but after she dies, a new A starts threatening them. The second A seems to be a man the girls hadn't even spoken to, but it turns out that was wrong, too. It's Ali. Emily gets led far off track when she finds out that an Amish girl named Leah has gone missing, and Leah's boyfriend was Darren. This causes her to think that Darren had killed Leah and it wasn't Ali that died. The third arc has the girls in each book assume someone who is connected to each of their dark secrets over the summer is the third A, then the end of each book seemingly shows that this was not the case. But then Deadly reveals that this was true, but it wasn't the person any of them expected. It was a guy that each of them met during the summer, all four of whom turn out to be the same person: Nick "Tripp" Maxwell.

In a villainous and somewhat tragic example, in the final book, Emily, who faked her death to hunt down Alison, discovers that Ali has been able to stay hidden because her mother has been helping her. Emily realizes that, even though Mrs. DiLaurentis knows that Ali is a monster and despite everything she's done, she's still her daughter. Indeed, Mrs. DiLaurentis almost (reluctantly) lets Ali kill Emily, but luckily, the police arrive Just in Time.

Pretty Little Liars / int_f9876f7e	type	Faking the Dead
Pretty Little Liars / int_f9876f7e	comment	In Vicious, Emily seemingly drowns herself for real, and her friends spend most of the book thinking she's dead. It's subverted, though, at the end, where it's revealed she was Faking the Dead in order to escape the law and track down Alison, which is the only way she can prove her and her friends' innocence.

Pretty Little Liars / int_fd497706	type	Accidental Murder
Pretty Little Liars / int_fd497706	comment	Accidental Murder: In Unbelievable, Mona tries to kill Spencer after the latter discovers that she's A. Spencer, in self-defense, closes her eyes and pushes Mona away from her, causing Mona to go over the edge of the cliff and break her neck in the fall. In Twisted, the girls confront someone who they think is Alison, and Aria, believing she was going to kill them, pushes her in self-defense, causing her to fall to her death. Though it's later subverted, since Burned reveals that the girl, Tabitha Clark, was killed by a blow to the head at close range (which was very much not accidental), not from the fall.

Pretty Little Liars / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Alison (really, Courtney posing as Ali) empathized with Jennaâ€™s â€œsibling issuesâ€� (Toby was molesting Jenna), and conspired to help her get Toby sent away, so she could be free from her stepbrother's sexual abuse.
