Mary Drake

"Many families have secrets. Most families, really. And sometimes, those secrets are actual people."

- Mary to Hanna

Mary Drake is the older twin sister of Jessica DiLaurentis and biological mother to Charles DiLaurentis (born Charles Drake). She was committed to Radley Sanitarium for unknown reasons while her son was adopted by her sister who helped Charles transition into Charlotte DiLaurentis.

When Charlotte is killed after her release from Welby State Psychiatric Hospital, she made a plan with her doctor, Elliott Rollins to steal back the DiLaurentis House and Alison's 51% share of the Carissimi Group. However, he would double cross her by taking all of the money.

She, along with Dr. Rollins, may be working with Uber A to avenge Charlotte's Death.

Biography
Mary and Jessica Drake were born on December 18, 1965. Mary stated that they didn't get along because Jessica behaved awfully to her and tried to turn everyone against her.

It was considered by the doctors that her mental health issues started to show up when she was a teenager, after an incident at her sister's job. Jessica was babysitting Teddy Carver, when she phoned Mary to come and replace her. While babysitting, the baby died under Mary's care and she was sent to the Radley Sanitarium. Mary told them she hadn't even touched the boy and it was Jessica's fault, but no one believed her. Being admitted on and off, Mary gave birth to Charles Drake inside the asylum. He was adopted immediately afterwards by Jessica and Kenneth, who feared that Charles might be in danger under his mother's care. A few years later, she would have a second child which would be taken by the county family services after birth.

The woman was permanently released from Radley at 28 years old. Not much is known about her whereabouts from this period of time, only that she'd travelled a lot, especially in Europe and Latin America.

At some point, Mary's returned to Rosewood and after Charlotte's death, she sided with "Rollins", Charlotte's doctor and secret lover, and the unknown person named A.D. to avenge her daughter and to obtain the Carissimi Group's money.

Personality wise, Mary seems to be a first-class manipulator and an intelligent woman. Because of her mental health history, she can also be described as unstable and willing to do anything that's necessary to retrieve what is rightfully hers, even if that means backstabbing her own family.

Medical examination


"All laboratory and test results are normal. The patient is introverted and will not speak to anyone. The patient has random violent outbursts, lashing out and throwing objects."

Mary Drake was initially institutionalized for an incident involving the death of a child who was under her care while she was babysitting. Mary was forced to stay in Radley until she was 18. After that, the woman was readmitted several times until she got out permanently at 28 years old.

Wilden in bed with her. Over the phone, Elliot says her mind is just playing tricks on her due to "misplaced guilt", but she keeps having visions of both her dead mom and Wilden.

On election night, Ali disappears from her house, and Emily finds her crying and shaking in the church, saying that her mother and Wilden "came back" for her and they are going to take her straight to hell.
