THE SCHEMER

“A” is a character from Pretty Little Liars that is like no other schemer I have ever seen before. “A” blackmails the four remaining Pretty Little Liars, as she has already eliminated on of them through murder. She is all-knowing and goes to extreme lengths to devise the ruin of the girls. She had secretly made them take steroids through lotions, she has run into one of them with a car, she has attempted to kill another one by throwing her off a bell tower, and she threatens them by telling them she will reveal a certain secret if she doesn’t get her way.

Her way always makes complete chaos, breaks hearts, and ruins people the girls love. “A” is still not known to the girls because she always wears all black clothing and a mask, though the girls believe she is one of their peers. And believe me, she means these girls no good whatsoever.

Satan is essentially the ultimate schemer. He causes temptation and evil throughout the world, and he means no one but himself any good at all. He devises the ruin of others(for example, Adam and Eve). He tempted them into betraying God so the he could bring evil into the world. Everything was just too wonderful and happy for him to stand it, so he went into the garden as a serpent and contributed to Adam and Eve committing the first original sin. He also tried to trap and trick Jesus into proving that he was God. But Jesus refused, because God is to be believed in your heart and not proven through sight. Satan plots and succeeds many times in leading people into sin and wrongdoings.

SATAN FROM THE BIBLE
