"A" is the main antagonist of the series. "A" is an anonymous character who sends threatening messages to Alison DiLaurentis, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields, and recently, Mona Vanderwaal.

Mona, using the nickname of "A", began bullying Alison through texts and other written messages, while also stalking her. At one point during Labor Day weekend, she even threatened to kill her. After Ali's supposed "death", Mona temporarily stops playing her game--until a year later, when Aria returns to Rosewood. After this point, Mona cyberbullied Alison's friends using her signature nickname of "A" until she was caught during the Season 2 finale and sent to Radley Sanitarium. It is revealed that while Mona mostly acted alone during the first two seasons, a brand new "A" had taken over the reigns from Mona while she was in Radley for five months. This person, Uber A, had presumably started a team of people to threaten the Liars. This A-Team at one point consisted of Toby Cavanaugh, Spencer Hastings's boyfriend, who was only part of the A-Team to protect Spencer and gain information on Red Coat, who they presumed to be Uber A at the time. What started out as a simple bullying tactic had turned into a deadly game, and Mona had also agreed to do Red Coat's bidding until the Season 3 finale, when Mona was finally cut from "A" completely.

In the mid-season finale of Season 4, one Red Coat is revealed to be Alison, while the other is still presumably Uber A. Uber A, the true A that "stole" the game from Mona, has yet to be revealed, and his/her intentions are unknown.

Appearance "A" makes appearances as a figure with black leather gloves, a black hood, dark pants, and dark shoes. Throughout the seasons, the story focuses on the mystery of "A." However, A has sported many different disguises, including the disguise of Red Coat.

"A's" These are the "A's" that have or haven't been revealed so far.

"A's" Revealed Mona Vanderwaal was the 1st "A" to be revealed, and the only actual real "A" so far. Mona was revealed in 2x25; "UnmAsked." Toby Cavanaugh was the 2nd "A" to be revealed. Toby was also the 1st betrAyer and was revealed in 3x12; "The Lady Killer." Spencer Hastings was the 3rd "A" to be revealed. Spencer was revealed in 3x23; "I'm Your Puppet." Lucas Gottesman was the 4th "A" to be revealed, blackmailed by Mona and revealed by her in 4x01; " 'A' is for A-l-i-v-e" Melissa Hastings and Darren Wilden are revealed to be the two Queen of Hearts being blackmailed by someone in 4x01. Whether they are "A's" or not is unknown.

Before filling in Anonymous in the top left corner of the envelope, "A" scrawls the letter A then a few seconds later, fills in the remaining letters. This leaves no doubt that "A" and the black gloved figure are one and the same.

The New Normal

"A" calls an exterminator to visit Hanna's house under the pretense of taking care of the infestation in the basement.

"A" seems to be messing with Spencer and Toby's heads. The Neumann's bag which Jenna had taken from Ian, is filled with ice on the bed of the motel room that "A" must have rented. A recording of Jenna's flute music is playing on the stereo, whereas Spencer actually thought Jenna was practicing inside. At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure is sitting comfortably in a room somewhere, beside a bowl of popcorn, watching the footage of the girl's reaction to "A"'s text on Spencer's front lawn which let them know that Spencer is now a person of interest in Alison's murder investigation.

After Hanna's visit to Dr Sullivan, A trashes the office and leaves a note on the wall saying NOSEY BITCHES DIE. Although the message isn't signed by A, it is pretty obvious based on Ezra's degree and the text message that A ravaged her office after Hanna's visit. At the end of the episode A stages the suicide of Ian Thomas. When the girls run to Melissa's aid, A puts Ian's phone in Spencer's bag and leaves unnoticed. This is the same phone "A" was using when texting Melissa pretending to be Ian.

UnmAsked

The Liars take a room in the Lost Woods Resort motel. They stay in room 1--the same room Alison stayed in while she was alive—while, "A," lurking in the shadows, weaves in and out of their room without the girls ever knowing. She even visits while Hanna is in the shower, though "A's" intentions are unknown. She also spies on them from room 2, where "A" has presumably rented her own room.

At the costume ball, Mona shares with the Liars a story of how Alison, dressed as Vivian Darkbloom, had been spying on someone in a costume shop the week before she died. This prompts Spencer to realize that Alison had been searching for "A" all along and must have rented Room 1 in the motel in order to spy on the person in Room 2 - "A!" Together with Mona, Spencer sneaks the key from the desk and goes into Room 2 to find A's lair. Spencer is freaked out; the room is covered with pictures of all the Liars and Alison. There are Bratz Dolls that resemble each of the five girls perched in "A's" dollhouse.

Then, when Spencer spots a gum wrapper of the same type that Mona offered her, in Alison's stolen diary, she suddenly becomes suspicious. When she sees the bag of cashmere sweaters, the understanding that Mona is "A" dawns on her. She turns around to confront Mona, who is now wearing her signature black hoodie. Mona knocks her out with a flashlight in return.

Next, Spencer finds herself riding in the front passenger's seat of Mona's car. Mona threatens her to join The "A-Team" or die at gunpoint from Mr. Hastings' stolen gun. Spencer gets Mona to reveal her motive. She is angry at the liars for stealing Hanna, the only friend she ever had. She claims to be over Alison and the way she had treated her. Spencer uses her phone to convey the message to the other liars, and Mona, without knowing it, is caught on video conversation for the other three liars to hear. Hanna is devastated when she learns that Mona is "A". Spencer lets the girls know where Mona is taking her by warning Mona that if she doesn't slow down, she won't make it to Look Out Point.

The girls move fast to go rescue their friend. Hanna catches up to the other two with her car and stops just short of hitting "A" with her car in anger. "A" runs towards Spencer and starts to fight her near the brink of a cliff. The other girls jet out of the car to help, and as a result, Mona falls several feet into a state of unconsciousness.

Later, the police declare "A" alive, and Dr. Sullivan returns to town to comfort the girls, revealing that "A" was threatening her son which forced her to flee. The police take her to a room with a one-way mirror. The girls look on with Dr. Sullivan who reveals that Mona has a personality disorder that causes her to be in a state of hyper-reality and mixed with her high intelligence level, it fueled her feelings of omnipresence and omniscience, while Mona has a monologue inside her head. She is unrepentant, cocky, and reveals that having the girls feeling safe and leaving their windows open and their doors unlocked is exactly what "we" wanted.

Later, Mona is sent to a mental institution. There, someone in a familiar red jacket comes to visit. Mona tells her: "I've done everything you asked me to," suggesting that "A," is in fact, working for someone else and Mona is perhaps part of a team of "A"s.

At the hospital later she receives another phone call, and the same voice says, "Emily, I owe you one."

Dead to Me

Spencer goes to the new "A" liar, only to find it empty - in pictures wise. Emily has a flashback revealing that she stood over the grave, while "A" was digging up Alison's body.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind
