Was Aria Supposed To Be Big -A and Mary Drake's third child?

 Welcome back, and in today's blog i will be talking about how Aria could've been -A and if she could possibly be Mary Drake's third child, yes you've heard that right. In several episodes you can see how the writers wanted to get us on a loop and get us confused since Aria did show hints that she could be -A and here is how i will tell it. Stay tuned! 

After Aria arrives at the Homecoming Dance at school in "There's No Place Like Homecoming" (1x06), and approaches the girls, who are ecstatic because they thought that Aria would bail on the dance. Aria only decided to come after Spencer announced that she wanted to be cute for her first date with Alex. Perhaps Aria had ulterior motives behind her attendance, such as stealing Spencer's date maybe? 

Aria said that she was looking forward to having a great was when Mona tuned in and said "With no date? My how the mighty have fallen?" By using the word (mighty), it sounds like Mona sees Aria as this person who has power, authority, ferocity, dominance, and control. It seems that Aria is the most dominant and the main person in the group. by definition and usage, this is an adjective. 

By the sounds of it, Mona's seeing Aria as a leader and almost praising her. It's as if Mona idolizes Aria. In "The Goodbye Look" (2x09), Mona scores an -A on her Math test. Mona walks down the hallway behind Aria and calls out...

"Hey, Big -A. Wait up!"

Aria happens to respond to that as if Mona has called her that before? Aria is the only one i can recall being nicknamed (Big -A) and actually responded to it. In "UnmAsked" (2x25), when the girls are at Lost Woods Resort, Aria and Spencer are getting ready to break into Harold Crane's office, and Spencer says...

"You're little, but you're big." 

In "Touched By An Angel" (2x10), when Spencer and Aria are conversing with each other in Hanna's house downstairs, Spencer says this to Aria...

"I did it because you're really tiny, and i love you." 

Aria and Spencer are the only ones out of the group. There is a lot of emphasis put on their friendship, and they treat each other like sisters. Their bond is my favorite. In "Turn Of The Shoe" (4x02) Aria starts taking karate classes, and apparently, her reason is....

"Look, i'm small, i'm an easy target." 

The thing is, i don't buy that all. -A has never really done anything to hurt her. It's mainly been the secrets of the other people she wants to speak about that come to light. Exactly ten episodes later, in "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" (4x12) in Ravenswood at the abandoned factory, Aria and Cece get into a fight, and she beat Cece. But after that rope snapped, Aria grabbed Cece and tried to pull her back up. (This is why i don't buy Aria's excuse for taking karate).

In "Do Not Disturb" (6x16), while taking the back entrance into Sara's room at The Radley Sanitarium, Spencer prompts Aria by saying 

"Come on little big one." 

Not only that, but Aria heads straight for the closet and goes through the hole in the wall. Spencer follows to find Aria in a room with an old rusty electroshock therapy table and a cabinet of files. Aria is pretty much leading Spencer through the tunnel and to the exit. Almost as if she's used them before.

In "Exes and OMGs" (7x08), when Spencer and Aria visit Dr. Cochran to learn more about Mary's second and (possible third child?), he says this...

"I dealt with two of her babies."

This is about Charles (pre-transition) and Spencer, who had been described as having tenacity and abrasiveness, but this word doesn't just match with Spencer. Here's the rest of what Dr. Cochran said...

"That baby was a fighter. Underweight but tenacious"

We've never once seen Spencer getting into a fight with anyone, but she does have low blood sugar, which can happen if you're born prematurely. Spencer was born on April 11th, 1995, and Aria was born on July 22nd, 1995. Aria got into a fight with Cece, has been told that she's tiny and mighty. In the same episode, the girls find the lair with the files. Here's the conversation. 

Emily; "Jessica DiLaurentis had a file on each of us." 

Hanna; "All of us except for Aria. She doesn't have a file."

Alison; "Do you think somebody took it?"

Emily; "Yeah but why?"

Good question, Emily! Perhaps there was something that connected Aria to Charlotte, Mary Drake. in (Original GAngsters) (7x07), Alison comes home from Welby Penitentiary, Mary and Aria seem to know each other already, and when Ezra proposes. it's revealed that Aria's middle name is Marie, and she's thinking, "How does he know my middle name?" 

Do you remember the episode "The Kahn Game" (3x09)? Well, in that episode in particular, out of everyone, Cece chose to take Aria and Spencer to the party at Noel's cabin. Cece was wearing red, Spencer was wearing blue, and Aria was wearing green. That color scheme made an appearance in the Dollhouse in handprints. Could Cece have been born in 1992 and lied about her birthday again? 

In "The Wrath of Kahn" (7x09), when Jason goes to Ezra's apartment to talk with Aria, they have a revealing conversation. Remember, no one told Aria about what happened at Aunt Carol's, which means she took her file and Noel's. 

Aria; "The fire was an accident.

Jason; "You just said you weren't with her."

Aria; "Ali asked me not to say amything. We found some files that prove your Mom was in charge of Mary's care at Radley. She oversaw Charlotte's adoption, and the other child's adoption too."

Jason; "What other child?"

Aria; "I was just about to go to the Courthouse right now." 

Aria's plan was to go to the Courthouse and get in and tell her own. But Jason explained that they wouldn't give her any answers because she's not a relative.  Perhaps she brought it up so she could use Jason to her advantage and cover her because she's mentally an unstable genius!

Were Aria and Spencer intended to be sisters? 

Tell me what you think!
