I can see how strong you are, then for some stupid reason, you retreat into this 'hurt little girl' façade." – Adam Knight, Delete
The death of her parents when she was three
was very influential in shaping Lana's personality. Despite the fact that her aunt raised and cared for her, Lana has felt like an abandoned orphan her whole life and idolizes her dead parents. She often states that she feels isolated and out of place and dreams about leaving Smallville forever for something more. Despite this, Lana developed a reputation for being a sweet girl – pleasant, caring, and eager to help others. She found herself without any family before she graduated from high school. With no one to rely on but herself, Lana is also quite driven to pursue her goals. She successfully managed the Talon coffee shop as a high school student and lived alone during her senior year.
Lana took self-defense classes, but seems to always find herself in threatening situations, needing to be rescued. Having been attacked multiple times by metahumans, she is critical of anyone she doesn't think is normal; at the beginning of their relationship, Lana and Lex grew close over their shared belief that humans need to be protected from outsiders. Clark has seemingly picked up on Lana's opinion, which has developed into his reluctance to trust her with his secret, even though he is convinced that in spite of her beliefs, they are meant to be together. Lana's romantic relationships also reflect her personality; she places great trust in her partner and intensely relies on him for emotional support. Lana is anxious to build a relationship with someone she can trust and trust her back. Whitney Fordman was simple and unassuming, but they were not soul mates. Clark Kent protects her, but he doesn't trust her, so she can't trust him. Jason Teague swept her off her feet in Paris, but he too began to hide things from her. Her attraction to her current husband, Lex Luthor, stems from her belief that Lex is always honest with her.
Since the beginning of their relationship, Lana has started to take on some of Lex's
ruthless personality traits. She orders people around, demands what she wants, and is seemingly even more driven than before to pursue her goals, only now, she has Lex's endless resources to do so. Yet, Lex has also keeping secrets of his own leading her question his loyalty and seemingly rekindle her feelings for Clark. After learning that her pregnancy was faked, Lana has become a stronger person. No longer waiting to be saved or wanting help, she has taken action into her own hands to make sure that the people who have done her and others wrong pay. Over the years she has evolved from a soft and naive girl to a much stronger and well-established woman.
Lana is an accomplished horseback rider and an avid reader.
