Biography[]

Smart, overachieving, and extremely wealthy are the ways to describe Spencer Hastings. She constantly balances many jobs, such as internships, charity work, being part of the field hockey team and after-school clubs. She is confident, calculating, and could stand up to Alison when no one else could, showing her determination and courage. Family life can be very difficult for Spencer; her parents are often too busy to be with her and she often doesn't get along with her older sister, Melissa. Having an intellectual sister and demanding parents, Spencer doesn't want anything less than perfect.

Despite being very sure of herself, Spencer does begin to show a bit of strain when she and her friends begin receiving strange texts from the mysterious "A." She is very protective of her friends, and can come off as being bossy at times, but only because she wants to protect them. After losing her boyfriend Toby to the A-Team, Spencer suffered from a mental and emotional breakdown and was admitted to Radley Sanitarium after being found lost in the woods with no ID. To avoid any more suffering and pain, Spencer soon agreed to become an 'A', but only to find out information about Red Coat and to see Toby. As of A Dangerous Game, Spencer has been kicked out of the A-Team, as she was a double agent.

Physical Apperance[]

Spencer Hastings has a very slim face complimented with high cheekbones, rosebud lips, and dark almond shaped eyes. She has a peach and cream complexion and long dark brown hair usually worn down.

Trivia[]

  • Spencer is the main target of "A", being the one he or she has targeted the most. It is probably because she is the strongest person of the remaining liars, and could stand up to Alison, something the other liars could not do except Hanna who once tried to defend Lucas from Alison's bullying.
  • Her name means "Steward" and coincidentally she is always refined like a Steward.
  • She is the most organized and hardworking one of the four.
  • Spencer was good friends with Alison, even though they fought constantly because Spencer was the only one able to stand up to her. Alison told only Spencer she had a secret boyfriend (later revealed as Ian Thomas) the summer she died.
  • Janel Parrish, the actress who plays Mona Vanderwaal, Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily Fields, and Tammin Sursok, who plays Jenna Marshall, also auditioned for the role of Spencer Hastings.
  • Spencer finds out Jason DiLaurentis is her half-brother in "The Naked Truth."
  • After staying with Toby at the motel, he invites Spencer to stay the next night. After sleeping over at Wren's place, he tells her she is welcome to stay anytime. She replies, "I might actually take you up on that," on both occasions.
  • Spencer has received 35 individual messages from "A," plus 25 messages sent to all 4 girls.
  • She was the first one to find out who "A" and Red Coat are. She found out Mona Vanderwaal was 'A' in "UnmAsked.", and that Toby Cavanaugh was 'A' in "Misery Loves Company", and also she saw first Alison as the Red Coat.
  • Her favorite childhood game was hide and seek because she always won.
  • Out of the four girls, Spencer is the last one to lose her virginity. She lost her virginity with Toby in The Lady Killer.
  • Spencer was the third of the four liars to be visited by Alison. She appears to her in the Hastings' living room in "If These Dolls Could Talk".
  • Spencer is also very close to Emily, as she was angry at Paige both for making remarks about Emily being gay to her face and when Spencer, Hanna and Aria suspected Paige of being A. They are also close as they both are/were close to Toby. And they always do anything they can to protect each other.
  • Spencer along with Hanna are the only ones who did not cheat on her partner. Her sister's boyfriends were the ones that kissed her and Spencer was not in a relationship. Emily had kissed Nate while dating Paige and Aria had kissed Jason while dating Ezra (as well as kissing Ezra while dating Noel, and kissing Wesley while dating Ezra). Spencer and Hanna kissed Wren, but that happened after their break ups.
  • She often texts SOS to the other girls.
  • Both Spencer and Toby have been suspected by the Police of hurting/murdering Alison.
  • Spencer kidnapped Malcom in order to prove to Mona that she wants to be on the -A Team.
  • In I Must Confess her birthday (April 11) is shown on Dr. Sullivan's files.
  • Spencer is the first and only liar so far to join the A-Team, even though she was a double agent.
