Meet the characters from Pretty Little Liars

Spencer Hastings

Oh man, Spencer is the ultimate overachiever — like, obsessive-compulsive about facts and lists and also somehow loses her keys every single day (don’t ask). She’s razor-smart, ridiculously competitive, and will solve a puzzle at 3 a.m. while quietly panicking about a single grammar mistake. Kind of cold on the outside but also morally rigid and secretly soft in the exact way she swears she isn’t. Also she hoards index cards like it’s a personality trait, which, honestly, it is.

Hanna Marin

Hanna is sparkle and sass — fashion-obsessed, snacks-in-her-purse, funny as heck but with this wobble of insecurity underneath that makes her unexpectedly fierce. She’ll throw shade and then hug you five seconds later; dramatic? Maybe, but loyal to the bone. A former queen-bee turned soft-hearted fighter, she hides fears with lipstick and thrift-store bravado. Also she shops late at night and claims it’s “research” even though it’s just impulse buys and ice cream.

Aria Montgomery

Aria is artsy, moody, and very into indie music, literary metaphors, and teal scarves — basically the person who writes poems in the margins of schoolbooks. She’s mysterious in a cigarette-smoke-and-vintage-camera way (but she actually can’t take a decent photo, who knew). Romantic to a fault, full of emotional curves and sudden flights of dramatic taste; simultaneously wise and wildly impulsive. She will overanalyze your text messages and then laugh about it with a crooked smile.

Emily Fields

Emily is gentle, tough, and quietly heroic — seriously the friend you want in a storm, even if she’s awkward talking about her feelings. Athletic and disciplined (the swimmer who catalogs everything), yet also shy and sentimental and prone to sudden stubbornness when someone she loves is hurt. She’s the moral center who sometimes snaps in the best possible way, like a quiet thunderclap. Also she alphabetizes her swim caps but can’t remember where she left her hoodie, which is peak Emily.

Alison DiLaurentis

Alison is terrifyingly magnetic — queen bee, liar, genius manipulator, but also somehow oddly small and cinematic when she lets her guard down (which is rare). She’s the puppetmaster who loves secrets like they’re perfume, and she can make you feel both terrified and weirdly safe at the same time. Cruel, charming, fragile-ish, and absolutely theatrical; don’t trust her smile but admire the choreography. And for some reason she collects tiny figurines — creepy and kind of touching, honestly.

Mona Vanderwaal

Mona is brilliant, theatrical, and deliciously unhinged (in the best way) — like a glittery chess master who also wears strange hats. She’s part genius hacker, part melodramatic queen of scheming, and somehow deeply vulnerable under all that theatricality. Loves attention, craves validation, and then surprises you by being the smartest person in the room and also the one who cries in the bathroom. Also she eats weird snacks while plotting things, which I feel is canon in my head.

Toby Cavanaugh

Toby is the broody, reliable-type who smells like motor oil and somehow also lavender (don’t ask, it’s one of those things). Quiet and stoic but deeply loyal, he’s the kind of person who does the right thing without trumpeting it — then texts you a grim joke at midnight. He’s worked through a lot and wears his scars like badges, but he’s also secretly sentimental (paints sometimes? maybe). He drives a truck and bakes cookies, and both facts are equally true.

Caleb Rivers

Caleb is the hacker-with-a-heart, media-savvy and gruff but utterly soft for the people he loves — like a dog in a leather jacket. He’s genius-level with tech, sarcastic to the max, and somehow both protective and a little sentimental (yes he has a playlist with ballads, shut up). He’s low-key a romantic and surprisingly domestic when he isn’t dismantling a server at 2 a.m. Also he hoards old electronics like they’re pets — I mean, adorable chaos.

Ezra Fitz

Ezra is awkwardly romantic, bookish, and mysterious in a slightly tragic, coffee-stained sweater way; equal parts literary professor and emotionally compromised adult. He’s charming when he lectures, painfully clumsy in his relationships, and weirdly defensive about his manuscripts. Deep down he’s an idealist who writes love like a thesis and then confuses it with reality (messy, but earnest). Also he collects pens and gets very dramatic about commas — which is true and also kind of horrifying.

Jenna Marshall

Jenna is eerie, glamorous, and unsettlingly inscrutable — like a storm wrapped in a silk scarf; she’s got this whole aura of “I know things” and it’s terrifying. She can be vengeful and fragile in the same breath, which makes her unpredictable and a bit tragic, honestly. There’s a quiet cleverness and a knack for manipulation, plus this weird charm where you can’t decide whether to pity or fear her. Also she probably owns more sunglasses than any sane person, even at night.
