Spencer Jill Hastings is a fictional character, one of the five main characters who appeared in the Pretty Little Liars novels and its television adaptation. Created by American author Sara Shepard, she is member of the group known as the Liars, and is best friend to the four other members, who are also protagonists. She is portrayed by Troian Bellisario in the television series. The character was developed for television by the series' showrunner I. Marlene King, and appeared in each of the show's 160 episodes during its seven-years-long run, from its premiere on June 8, 2010 to its finale on June 27, 2017. Spencer is known in the fictional town of Rosewood for her sophisticated charm, intelligence, hardheadedness, and, at times, dangerous dedication to achieve her life goals. She is part of the very wealthy, powerful family-The Hastings; Spencer's parents, Veronica and Peter, are both linked to politics and her sister, Melissa, is likewise intelligent and uses her sarcasm and success to effect Spencer psychologically whenever possible. Spencer's characteristics and story have the same methodology in both books and television; however, there are some perceptual differences between the versions, since the television series doesn't follow the books' scripts.
