Lois talks ... a lot. Her abrasive personality and sharp-tongued sense of humor aren't for everybody, and they occasionally get her into trouble. She's been known to butt heads with authority figures, and she can strike some people as irritating in her persistence and by being so opinionated about... everything. Her spontaneous nature often translates to talking without really thinking things through, and she can be accidentally offensive as a result. Sometimes she's brash to the point of extreme recklessness, and she's been known to throw herself into dangerous situations because she didn't think ahead.
Lois is used to hiding her emotions, since she grew up in an atmosphere where crying equated to weakness. She tends to mask a lot of her feelings behind a wall of sarcasm and humor, and when she does open up about her emotions, there's usually a deep degree of bitterness there. She hides a lot of inner resentment at her father, and how his job always came before his family. Her relationship with her father has a certain degree of distance in it (she only refers to him as "the General" rather than "dad"), which translates to a lot of relationships in her life. One of her greatest fears lies in the thought of ending up in relationships with people who, like her father, will have a destiny and duty that is so much more important than her, that she'll end up left behind constantly. She wants desperately to matter to someone, and it's one reason she drives herself so hard - initially for her father's approval, but increasingly because she wants to prove things to herself, rather than doing them for him. She feels very personally responsible for the poor life decisions her sister had made, and the sort of person she's turned out to be, given that she feels more like a parent than a sister to her. At the same time, she loves her deeply, and continues to have faith in her, always willing to demonstrate pride for the positive things that Lucy does or accomplishes.
Beyond this, her greatest desire is to make a positive difference in the world, which is the strongest motivator for her journalistic endeavors. By uncovering the truth, bringing the bad guys to justice through exposing their deeds to the world, and later on, by assisting the Blur, she finds her own 'destiny' and really comes into her own. In the tenth season of Smallville, the villain Darkseid is unable to possess her because of the strength and purity of her soul and character - at heart, she is quite simply a very good person, no matter how brashly she may come off on the surface.
Lois is a well of pop culture references, which indicates just how much time she's spent watching TV, etc. Her musical tastes veer away from the popular "young" choices, and she prefers the kind of classic rock favored by the military guys she grew up around. 80s rock is her favorite, and Whitesnake is her favorite band. She's known to retreat from problems by turning to alcohol (or sarcasm) and she can out drink college frat boys with ease.
