Application for Spencer Hastings

Character Name: Spencer Hastings

Age: 18

Species: Human

Face Claim: Troian Bellisario

History:
Being the competitive type wasn't exactly what one would call "easy". Growing up in a small town with intellectual/strict parents and an obnoxious older sister who was favored by the parents wasn't exactly a life you'd call simple.  Spencer was highly competitive against her older sister, Melissa, due to the fact she often wanted attention from her parents, but that shaped Spencer into the girl she was when she got older. She took on multiple sports, clubs, and internships, all while keeping her grades up. Though her parents weren't satisfied, as Melissa's grades were always slightly higher when she had been in High School. Spencer began pressuring herself, and somehow ended up on the dark road of drugs to try and keep herself awake so she could study more.

Things got slightly better when Alison DiLaurentis not only picked her to be apart of her group of friends, but three other girls who she'd never met, who she became extremely close to when Alison had introduced them all. From there, the group became inseprable. But nobody seemed to notice all the secrets and lies Alison seemed to hold back whilst the girls told her everything. All except Spencer, who had argued with her on multiple occasions.

On the night Alison DiLaurentis went missing, Spencer had been hosting a sleepover in the barn where exactly one year later, Alison had disappeared. Spencer had not been  in the barn with the rest of the girls, leaving her to be the main suspect of Alison's DiLaurentis' disappearance, soon ruled to be a murder. No evidence was found against her or the other girls, so they were safe. Until next year. It had been exactly a year after Alison's disappearance when Aria returned from Iceland and everything was...strange. The remaining four  friends had all drifted due to Alison's disappearance, but were all reunited when texts from the mysterious -A, who they at first believed to be a somehow alive Alison, began texting them stating they would reveal all their secrets, and they did, exposing things to their family, stalking them, watching them.

RP Example:
Arriving home was one of the hardest things Spencer ever had to do. Not only did they have a lot of explaining to do, but Spencer had this strange feeling that even though Shauna was dead, things weren't over. Mona Vanderwaal still walked the streets freely, and Aria held the word 'guilt' over her head like an umbrella. Then there was the matter of interviews, and Ezra. What would they tell the police? The truth? Would they get arrested for all they had done? Especially Aria who had shot a woman, and not only shot, but killed? Despite that happening because Aria wanted to protect her friends, a girl was dead, and the police wouldn't care for the reason. They would lock her up as soon as they got the chance. And years behind bars would only add up for the liars. The Jenna thing would come out. Everything. There were no more secrets, and Spencer was beginning to wonder if this was -A's plan for them all along. To torture them and then finally get rid of them.

Spencer groaned as she sat up, earning a look from Hanna who had been next to her, nearly asleep. "Sorry Hanna. Some people need to stretch though." She human girl huffed. The liars had been sitting on the bus from New York back to Rosewood for around an hour, and Spencer's muscle's were completely stiff, as she had been sitting in the same position, just thinking things through. How would things go back to? Would Ali step up and try and be Queen Bee again? She didn't know, but she wasn't letting it happen again.

Now all she had to do was await the rest of the trip to Rosewood.
