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.
♣ According to a career test she took, Lois' ideal job is a radio DJ.
♣ She took up smoking when she was fifteen out of rebellion against her dad's strict upbringing, but eventually worked to kick the habit. She now suffers an addiction to nicotine gum.
♣ Lois can't spell worth a damn. Or cook, for that matter. She can, however, kick your butt at video games.
Corn, corn, corn, corn, more corn, lone cow in a field.
"Really shaking up the view there, Smallville," Lois murmured aloud, her car locked steadfastly in cruise control as she drove along the long, flat expanse of road. "Don't strain yourself."
The hollow attempt at humor might have worked better if there were someone else in the car, but as it stood, she wasn't really fooling herself.
Her cousin - her always smiling, crazy theory spewing kook of a cousin, her Chloe - had died here. And as charmingly flat and dull and less-than-thrilling as the scenery might have been, she knew there were secrets buried here, and she was determined to weed them out herself.
It was still difficult to actually think of her as gone. It'd be three months, and she still had a hard time facing it. But there was work to be done, and someone had to do the avenging that apparently had to go down, if that video of Chloe's was any indication. And to be honest, focusing on unraveling some kind of mystery was much easier than mourning. And focusing on being outraged that Lionel Luthor might walk out of jail any day when he was probably involved in her death? Even easier.
No one had dared to question yet why Lois hadn't gone to the funeral. It was better that way, because she wasn't about to lie and give them some excuse. But telling the truth was hard as hell. Even telling it to herself.
She remembered feeling that same way when she was just a small girl, her mother in the hospital, and her father telling her that she was probably never coming home.
What kind of daughter didn't even go to say goodbye to her dying mother?
For as much as she prided herself on her strength, she couldn't help but hate herself for her moments of weakness like this, where she was afraid of showing anything to the world that wasn't a stiff upper lip. Daddy had taught her well about keeping a soldier's face on, even through the worst of things. She wasn't about to compromise that by revealing the sort of things she wasn't capable of handling.
Maybe she couldn't deal with saying goodbye... but she could do it in her own way by bringing the person who had done this to Chloe to justice.
The clouds started moving in, as if mirroring her thoughts.
"That's just great," she grumbled, resisting the urge to fumble for a cigarette. "You can keep your meteorological metaphors to yourself, world. Doing fine without them over here."
As if in direct response, lightning growled in the distance.
Her own growl rivaled it pretty well as she stepped on the accelerator. If she had any luck, maybe she could beat the storm.
It might help, however, if she knew where the hell she was.
