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"?
