Season 1[]
The formerly overweight girl is now the “it girl” of Rosewood High School. Along with her new best friend, Mona Vanderwaal, she rules the school, and they are clearly labelled under the title of “queen bees”. She is dating a popular guy and pastor's son, Sean Ackard. Shoplifting with Mona gives her a “Bad girl” feel, but when she is caught, her mother realizes that Hanna is doing this to get her father's attention following his leaving the family. When she is caught by the police, Hanna struggles with the fact that her mother, Ashley, is the main factor of the removal of her charges—Ashley maintained a sexual relationship with Officer Darren Wilden in order to keep clean the image of her family. In addition, the old group of friends, of which Hanna was a member in the ninth grade, reunites, causing tension between her friendship with Mona. Hanna also has to deal with the threats and the danger of possibly having her secrets revealed by the tenebrous "A". Hana navigates heartbreak, hurt, a broken leg (courtesy of "A"), and more. Toward the end of the season, Hanna starts a romantic relationship with the misunderstood "bad boy" Caleb Rivers, a boy who seems to be the first one to truly understand her.
