The Black Widow

The Black Widow is an anonymous character that first appeared in "'A' is for A-L-I-V-E." She is part of The A-Team and it has been heavily implied by the writers that she may be the true Big A.

Season 4
'A' is for A-l-i-v-e

The Black Widow attends Darren Wilden's funeral. She is shown wearing the burned "Alison" Mask, and is apparently a member of The A-Team. Earlier, a mysterious person is seen fleeing The Thornhill Lodge after Spencer figures out her and Toby are not alone. It could have possibly been Black Widow since she had the burnt mask.

Trivia

 * Marlene originally named her The Lady in Black.
 * After a fan suggested the name The Black Widow, Marlene decided to keep it.
 * She was given the" fan-name" Veiled Griever because she attended Wilden's funeral, and she is 'grieving' the loss of someone and she has a veil on.
 * Based on the burnt mask, The Black Widow appears to have some connection to the fire.
 * When a fan asked Marlene if Red Coat and The Black Widow are the same person, she tweeted back "not ready to give that up yet".
 * Another fan asked about Black Widows identity, and Marlene said her identity is the "Pretty Little Liars Endgame", meaning that could be a second identity for CeCe Drake (In case her Red Coat identity got exposed) and/or the ultimate A.
 * The Black Widow is in real life a spider that kills her husband.(which she possibly is named because she might have killed Detective Wilden
 * The Black Widow will make a return in 4B. Marlene told us to keep this character in mind as the events of 4B emerges.
