Pretty Little Liars - Twins

There's been a lot going round about the Twins in Pretty Little Liars and whether any of the characters are or were a twin.

We first heard about the twins in a flashback of Hanna, Alison and a kid Hanna was looking after in Season 2 Episode 13 where the story Alison tells depicts twin girls playing with dolls, when suddenly the both choose the same doll, then when one wins and pulls it, the other twin goes to the drawer and stabs her.













Don't these twins look awfully familiar though?
 
They look an awful lot like this girl which Ashley Marin suspects is a ghost as she seems to disappear and reappear in different rooms. The little girl tells Ashley about how she wants to ring her mum and how she fights with her sister "About everything, even our dolls"
Coincidence? I think not.

I haven't though about who the twins could be yet although Alison's story mentions how the girl was sent to a mental asylum which could link to Bethany Young?

It's not the first time we see dolls either is it? The girls all have doll versions of themselves in A's lair...

15 Reasons to why Aria is A Pretty Little Liars


After reading PLL theories online and I read one where they thought Aria was A, now I have read it I can't unsee it as I feel there are so many subtle and unsubtle clues as to why.

Clues (In no particular order, just the order I think of them)

1. The intro song. The very first time I watched the show before I knew who any of the characters were the first thing I though was that Aria was the main character as she is the one it focusses on where she puts her finger to her lips. Of course as the show progresses she is equal to Hanna, Spencer and Emily, or is she?


2. Aria's handwriting is the same as A's. Season 3 Episode 13 when Aria introduces herself to Adam Lambert by writing her name in the condensation in the window, doesn't the final A look familiar?














3. The most recent promo (21.02.15) for PLL ends with an animation of glass shattering and drawings of the girls and Toby. Aria on the left hand side has her finger on her lips like in the intro to the show, and whats that painted above her?



4. On the broken glass theme. In Season 3 Episode 16 when Meredith locks Aria in her room, Aria smashes a Mirror to protect herself with a shard, but we get a camera angle from above where we can see Aria in the broken shards. Look familiar?

5. Season 2 Episode 6, Mona straight up calls Aria "Big A"
 

6. PLL writer Marlene King often replies with cryptic clues to fans on twitter. Follow her here

7. Linking with the above, the recent promos have called it a "Big A reveal" and which dolls shoes do we see closest to the message? Arias.

8. With the dolls theme, look closely at the dolls clothing. In this photo Alison is above, then the dolls in order represent Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily, notice how Aria doll is wearing a black hoodie?

9. Whilst looking for pictures I stumbled across this which is clever. So we know some A team members and suspects were; Mona, Toby, Ezra and Alison. If you take the first letter from each name and add in Aria, you get A TEAM.

10. I think this one is perhaps more coincidental, but is still a good point! credit to ariakilledali.tumblr.com

11. The A texts didn't start until Aria came back from Iceland. Alison had been missing for a year so why then?

12. The Black Swan.

13. How many different phones does Aria need?

14. In a reply to a fan asking who A was, Marlene King replied with lightning bolts and lips. Aria puts her finger to her lips in the intro, and often wears clothes with lips on as well as one outfit with lightning bolts. The Halloween intros also feature lightning bolts.


15. When Mona was in Radley she used code to say a message with the first letter of each word. Was it a coincidence that she turned MAYA KNEW into "Miss Aria You're A Killer Not Ezra's Wife"?
