18th A P P R E C I A T I O N ♕ T H R E A D

“I'm Alison DiLaurentis, and I'm fabulous.” Blonde, beautiful, and totally fabulous, Alison DiLaurentis was the Queen Bee of Rosewood. Boys wanted her and girls wanted to be her. Both loved and hated, everyone wanted to be a part of Alison's inner circle. For four girls, Emily, Hanna, Spencer, and Aria, everything would change the day Alison decided that they would be friends. Privy to their darkest secrets, Alison was more a fremeny to the girls than a true friend; though she cared for them, she also enjoyed tormenting them as well. She considered the girls to be her "puppets" and often made a point of stating that the girls were nothing without her, claiming that she made them who they were.

Alison's fiercest competitor was Spencer; the two often got into arguments as Spencer was the most independent one of the group and had no problem standing up to Alison. Emily was Alison's favorite of the group; being in love with Alison, she showered her with affection and was Alison's right hand man. Hanna strove to be the most like Alison, changing her hairstyle and sense of style to mimic Alison's. Alison had the most casual relationship with Aria, who she rarely spent time with outside of group interaction. Though Alison often teased the girls about their deepest secrets and could treat them terribly, the girls still adored her, with Hanna stating that Alison was so charismatic, she could make someone seem like the most important person in the world to her. Because of this, the girls work hard to keep the positive memories of Alison alive.

“Playing the mean girl is so much fun.” Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Sasha Pieterse is the youngest lead actress on the show. She was raised in Las Vegas but moved to Los Angeles to further her career. At a young age, her parents noticed how curious she was about stage shows and took decided to enroll her into acting classes. In 2003, Sasha won a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in TV series. As she grew and matured into the star she was born to be, Sasha continued on booking roles. She was submitted for Emmy Award consideration for her guest-starring role on House and appeared in small roles in numerous shows and movies before landing the part of Alison. In addition to acting, Sasha is also interested in singing and playing guitar.

In the books, Alison is described as beautiful, with a heart-shaped face framed by long blonde waves and big blue eyes. She is incredibly popular; older boys seek her out and older girls are jealous of her. She is best friends with Naomi Zeigler and Riley Wolfe, two popular girls at Rosewood Day. She has a twin sister named Courtney, who suffers from an unknown mental illness and has spent a good deal of time in Radley, a mental institution. One day, when Courtney is home due to being switched from Radley to the Preserve, a new hospital, she pretends to be Alison. This results in the real Alison being sent off to the Preserve, despite her desperate attempts to explain the truth to her parents.

Courtney, assuming Alison's life, drops Naomi and Riley as friends and instead becomes friends with the Liars, who she had met when they all accidentally ran into each other in the DiLaurentises backyard, hoping to snag a "flag" to be put in the Rosewood Day time capsule. None of the Liars know that Courtney is Alison's twin, nor do they know that Courtney and Alison have switched places. In addition to befriending the Liars, Courtney has an affair with Ian Thomas, Spencer's sister's boyfriend. Courtney is also very skilled at field hockey, even surpassing Spencer.

Unhinged and full of vengeance, it is Alison that kills Courtney; everyone believes Alison to be dead, but the real Alison is actually still alive. Alison then goes on to torment the girls as "A," picking up where Mona left off. When "Courtney" is revealed to the public, Alison confides in the Liars that she is the real Alison, telling them a distorted version of the truth. She ends up killing Jenna Cavanaugh, who knew Alison and Courtney were twins, as well as Ian and Billy Ford, who were accused of her murder. Twice she attempts to kill the Liars, believing they ruined her life.

She was supposedly killed after being trapped inside her family's summer home while it burned down, but her body was never found. It is hinted that Alison may have survived the fire -- thanks to Emily leaving a door open for her to escape through.
