* DisappearedDad: With the notable exceptions of [[DaddysGirl Faran]] and [[HasTwoMommies Mouse]], the Liars' fathers aren't present in their lives. [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou Imogen]] is estranged from her father, who didn't want her growing up in the quarry where he lived and her mother left her in Sidney's legal custody in her will. And then it turns out that Mouse [[spoiler:wasn't conceived by a sperm donor, but her mother became a non-bound surrogate for a couple who didn't follow through with it, and it was her father, not a stranger, who was the one who tried "abducting" her when she was little. And when she meets him he wants nothing to do with her.]]

!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Carly Pope (Adult), Ava [=DeMary=] (Teenager)

* {{Expy}}: His costume is a shout-out to [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]], his huge size and menacing fast walk make him seem like [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]], and he has some confirmed physical and implied mental handicaps like [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre Leatherface]].

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: It's stated that Mouse is the youngest of the Liars.

* TeenPregnancy: Imogen, a fifteen-year-old high-schooler, is six-months pregnant at the start of the story.

[[spoiler:After A takes her infant simulator for health ed and leaves it in a closet while Imogen has to pee, leaving a note telling her "YOU'RE A B'''A'''D MOTHER", she begins to consider putting it up for adoption more and goes to an agency.

It bites her back hard when he gets one of his deputies to arrest Faran's father, though she lives up to her threat, leading to Martha fighting back against him, ultimately proving herself to be the dragon.]]

** Not only that, but both had relationships with older men. Aria’s was with her handsome English teacher, which was Aria’s best subject. While Tabby was not interested or in a relationship with anyone, her boss Wes at the Orphium (where Tabby works part-time) flirts with Tabby frequently and makes some advances on her, which Tabby is uncomfortable with. However, Aria and her teacher Ezra Fitz are portrayed sympathetically, with Ezra being respectful. The couple even get married. Tabby’s no awes on the other hand is portrayed differently, with Wes being portrayed as a predator.

Faran's ballerina partner.

* LadySwearsALot: Easily the Liar who casually swears the most.
