Let's try out the possibilites with  for example Aria being A and her reason behind the crazy shananigans and find out if it works out or not, maybe we can filter through the main A suspects and you can correct me if I combined sth wrong, like Hanna I'm still a junior detective:

Okay – so c) Madness/ psychopath: this part we got easily covered. Aria is suffering from a mental disorder passed down in her family, like her uncle. So makes a lot sense...

(!!!!But being a doctor jekyll like serial killer is a bit lame for an explanation for such an epic series. There must be a real good reason why the dark beast inside her would want to threat and kill Ali and her own friends, play those elaborate sadistic games etc! )

Point b) Revenge doesn't make sense, since her friends/ family were always nice to her, supporting her, plus A never tried to harm Ezra, even after the liars find out about the book thing. Ali never bullied Aria especially, like she did with Hanna. Aria was always part of the it crowd, no social outcast like e.g. Lucas. So revenge on everybody for what? Nobody telling her that those pink hair strands looked stupid? Am i missing sth here, you are welcome to correct me.

a)Jealousy. Aria jealous, big YES. When it comes to relationships for example, with Ezra. She exposes easily an over-the-top-jealous behaviour and is then toxic to everybody who might be a potential threat.

But Ali being her target for jealousy? Why, she never knew until recently that Ezra and Ali had a fling and it was way over before they met. Plus Aria liked Noel before Ezra, to whome none of the girls realy had the hots and they were even encouraging her to date him. So why torture them then?

Maybe Aria's jealous-issues root from her dad-relationship. (Maybe Aria therfore likes older men?) Aria could've snapped the moment when she saw Byron having an affair with Meridith in the car, she sees her world shattered, divorce upcoming, her daddy taken away by another girl etc. And Ali wittnesed it first-hand, that's why she got to die(taking this one to the grave...). But then shouldn't Meridith had been the main target of A/ Aria and not Ali and her friends?? So in case of Jealousy I'm not quite sure...and therefore would rather say that it makes no sense, although there is a potential in this.

Point d) All combined. Doesn't work out.

So Aria being A is highly unlikely. Case closed for the time being.
