What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality:
Due to being raised primarily by her father who she refers to as "The General" and spent her youth on different military bases with him and her sister. Lois is a rather independent and self-sufficient individual. She is persistent and impulsive if not a bit stubborn. She's known to use sarcasm and random obscure references to get her point across and has a tendency to take charge of if not take over a situation that she thinks is going off course or needs 'guidance' at the risk of appearing to some as domineering or bossy but in her eyes if things are spiraling out of control and something needs to be done she will take the reigns and run with it. She has a knack when her temper flares to talk without thinking cause her to sometimes seem insensitive but she is usually regretfully so.
Lois has a strong moral compass all her own with a compassionate heart and the need to make things right in the world. She is brave if not a bit too cavalier at times often risking her life by crashing forward only to either have to frantically talk her way out of a situation of physically defend herself. She's not a strategist but rather just plows through in the best direction she thinks at that time which has more often times than not gotten her into some trouble. She is devoted and loyal to those she loves and will do everything to protect them. Lois will do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of her loved ones i.e her family. She has a fierce determination and does not crack under pressure. Even to the point of keeping her sources secret she would rather take that knowledge to the grave then reveal her sources to people no matter how much pressure they put on her.
Though seemingly tough and independent the exterior face hides Lois' underlying insecurities. She desperately seeks the approval of her father even though she feels like he abandoned her and her sister for his military duties when her mother died. She faults herself for her sister Lucy's failures but is very proud of her sister's accomplishments. Lois is her worst critic and is highly critical of herself. She expects the best and pushes herself at every turn. Nothing she has ever accomplished has ever been good enough and she is always trying to be better at what she does. She considers herself somewhat of a screw up in her life and is always trying to rectify that. She was a military brat and as such has gotten herself into a number of troublesome situations in her youth.
Lois is a gutsy headline-hunting reporter and has an almost pit bull mentality when it comes to getting a story or doing the right thing. She is willing to do anything to get to the truth of a story. She is willing to take that extra risk and even willing to put her life on the line so a story can be told. She is trust worthy and stalwart in her ability to keep her sources anonymous and any other secret that she is entrusted with.
Most of all though is her kindness, altruism and compassion. Lois does what she does because of a moral obligation she believes she has to help those around her and be the voice when others are too weak to speak out and she does her speaking out with her reporting. She's the first to campaign for a moral cause. She believes in truth and justice and will go to great lengths to fight social injustice not just as a reporter but as a person. Lois feels it her responsibility. Lois has a tendency to sometimes take on more than she can handle and has a knack for turning inwards into herself when faced with difficult problems, not relying on others and seeing that as a form of weakness. She isn't one to admit if she's in over her head.
History:
The daughter of a three star general father and a humanitarian mother, Lois' life could be summed up in a few words; regimented and grounding. Before the death of her mother Lois and her sister Lucy enjoyed a relatively stable and happy family life. Even if her family traveled from one military base to another, one country to another, which meant Lucy and Lois had their fair shares of various private schools, their mother kept them grounded. Living in various parts of the world she not only saw the safety and privilege of being the daughter of a general brought, but she also saw the poverty and disparity as her mother an active humanitarian would often educate and sometimes involve her daughters in helping those less fortunate. Then her mother became ill and died from cancer when Lois and Lucy were still fairly young but without their mother Lois felt listless.
Her father then sent Lois and her sister to boarding school in hopes that the girls would not be reminded of their mother if at home. Lois however did not see it that way, she saw her father as 'shrugging off' his duties as a father by sending both her and Lucy away to boarding school. So Lois began to rebel to the point where her father had no choice but to take her with him but left Lucy at boarding school. So started Lois' stint of living the life of an Army Brat. As part of her nature, Lois had a nose for getting herself into trouble during her formative years as a military brat though all of them Lois would tell you she was completely justified in as most of the time it started off with altruistic intentions. Because of her penchant to find trouble or attract it aside aside he had Lois train in hand to hand combat and had her enrolled in Karate. He also had her sparring with his men as well. Because of this and her natural athleticism, Lois was less girly girl and more tomboy in her youth.
Although her mother had died years ago she had never really left Lois, and she was always on Lois' mind as she strove to not only make her mother proud but her father as well. Travelling around the world with her father also allowed her to see things that not many children her age did and get a chance to learn their language and cultures. There were many times when she hit her late teen years that Lois would sneak away from base or 'ditch' her father's detail to get out into the 'real world'. There was just so many stories so many voices that weren't being heard. At a young age Lois liked writing and she would often jot down in her journals what she had seen or experienced in town somewhere or at a market or a bazaar. She would write down the stories of people she'd met so that she would remember them. She even took pictures and would take small obscure things as mementos. This habit of writing a journal of events had stuck with her all through her years as she still keeps a journal even today.
A naturally athletic girl Lois was on various sports teams from basketball, to volleyball and soccer, where she gained a scholarship to Metropolis University for the latter sport. As a child her mother had enrolled both her and her sister in all sorts of activities like music, art and sports and while her sister Lucy took to the arts and music, Lois took to martial arts and sports. Because of that Lois was quite athletic and managed to garner a sports scholarship at Metropolis U where at first she majored in Business but soon found that major to be boring and it wasn't until second year at university that she fully realized her gift for journalism as her first piece which really was simply a letter to the editor of the school paper pointing out some of the disparity and injustices around campus in terms of the allocations of funds for the school which garnered her an entry position at the school paper.
Lois then switched her major from Business to Journalism a few months later and after graduation took some time for herself to travel the world doing various humanitarian endeavors like her mother once did all the while she recorded everything in her book, her photos and videos she took. She loved living in and among the indigenous people and preferred living and staying with them then travelling and staying at resorts or fancy hotels. Living among the actual inhabitants gave her a real ear to the city and a vibe one could not pick up in a cloistered lavish hotel room. And in seeing the world as it was gave her a greater appreciation for not only what she had but what some didn't. This awareness only heightened her need and desire to help those that needed it and to do what she could for them. It was during a humanitarian mission in the war torn Nigeria where she was among a few other volunteers helping at a village to build a school and set up a hospital did she have a true understanding of what a war torn country was like. She'd been held hostage with a few other foreigners like herself that were humanitarian volunteers and saw first hand the brutality of war and its deep seeded hatred when the village she had been helping was destroyed and its residence slaughtered. She was held captive for a grueling 14 days but then rescued by a special forces team her father sent down to extract her as a 'critical persona' along with the other foreigners that were held hostage with her. But escaping from the rebels had their casualties and it didn't leave Lois without a few emotional and physical scars of her own.
Returning to the US she sat down to write the story of her capture reliving the events once more through her writing was in some ways therapeutic and purging for her and she would swear much more helpful than the therapist her father hired to help her through her PTSD or what he coined it as that. To Lois she was 'handling' things and everything was fine. Even if she did sleep less, wake from dreams screaming and flinch or have shortness of breath when certain sounds or smells triggered a memory. And as much as she hated to admit it, the therapy did help some but Lois would credit her writing though to be the major factor in getting some kind of closure.
As part of her therapy leaving her apartment and getting out into the world, Lois was to look for work. She sent her resumes out to various places but on a lark got a call from a reporter at the Daily Planet that had wanted to talk to her to get her story on the hostage incident in Nigeria. It had been a almost a year and Lois had remained silent about her ordeal and left the reporters to fill in the blanks from what little they knew. Instead of agreeing to do the interview, Lois called the Editor in Chief of the Daily Planet, Perry White and offered instead to submit her own piece of what happened down in Nigeria.
Lois' three part piece of her experience was a success and landed a job at the Daily Planet. Of course it wasn't to start at the top. She might have gotten her chance to write her article but she still needed to pay her 'dues'. She had to chase down beats and leads on stories, handing them off to other reporters to do, then she progressed to doing the articles that Lois to this day deems 'lame ass work', like weather or fashion/'society' articles. But with each chance she got she maximized it, and soon she was starting to get the attention Lois felt she deserved. She was wasted on the society pages and her big expose on a certain Ambassador's son who was using his diplomatic privileges to pass through some new tailored drugs into the country, got the attention of Perry who finally moved her out of the society pages and into what Lois deemed the 'big leagues'. It was then that she started taking on bigger and more controversial stories. She used this platform to expose injustice, and crime as well as bring light into things that people may have forgotten or didn't want to see. She's since written various articles exposing corrupt politicians and judges, organized crime and international events. Lois saw it as her duty to be the voice of those who couldn't speak out and make people aware of the injustices around them. Everyone had a story and Lois makes it her job, that the meaningful stories get heard.
All in all it was a long climb from where she started but Lois would say she had earned her right to sit at her desk as one of the top journalists on the 'Planet'; the Daily Planet that is.

********************
"I don't know about this Lois..." Clark had said looking all uncomfortable in his swim trunks.
"You'll be fine Clark..." Lois replied giving Clark her best reassuring smile. "They'll practically be eating you up...strapping farm boy like yourself. Just remember though the one you want to take to the pool house is Malibu Barbie over there."
Lois pointed to their target, a stunning blonde who was already undressing what little her partner had on him with her eyes along with the rest of her gaggle of girls. Okay so maybe part of Lois felt a little bad about sending the Clark Lamb out into the slaughter for the wolves or in this case cougars to feed on but this was the best idea Lois had and Clark didn't come up with anything else so by default he was at the mercy of her plan and if executed right he wouldn't have to do anything to mar that farm boy sensibility of his. Though she could see her partner in crime wavering so Lois pulled out the big guns and called to the man's sense of justice as she knew it was as stalwart as hers.
"Look Clark, whatever is enslaving those boys, the clue is hidden in Marla's purse and I can't exactly walk up there and snatch it. You however can because they don't know that you're gay and that their potion didn't work. So you just need to pretend li-"
"I...what?!" Clark looked totally shocked and bewildered at her, his initial nervousness forgotten as he stared at her stammering and stunned. "Lois...I can assure you I am not g--"
"Listen Smallville, Dee-Nile (denial) is in Egypt and we really don't have time for this. Believe me it's only a big deal here in Smallville in some places of the world like Canada you can even wed."
"I am not gay!"
"And I am not judging." Lois said in an appeasement kind of way raising her hands up in a 'its all good' manner. "What you do in your own time is your business --"
"Lois!"
"Look I saw you take that drink the other guys did and you haven't gone all coo-coo for Coco Puffs like the others over there so if you aren't into Marla like the rest of the boys at the school then you really can't be into girls right?"
"It's not like that..."
"Then tell me how is it Clark? How is it that the rest of the male populace at school is all goo goo for her after drinking that punch and you aren't? What other possibility is there?" Lois asked arms crossed and there it was, that look in his eyes again like he wanted to tell her something, needed to share something; that indiscernible emotion that always seemed to lay just at the edge of her reach and understanding or his will to open up and tell her. She knew he wasn't really gay. It was just something she said to get him off his nervousness but then the look he gave her made her think maybe there was something.
"Tell me...what makes you so different?" she asked and just like that he shut down. She could see it in his eyes, and the look on his face; the door had shut her opening into the secrets of Clark Kent, gone.
"Let's just get this over with." Clark said shaking his head and headed out.
~Heh, maybe he is gay...~ Lois thought of the secret Clark was hiding as she watched her little lamb wade off into wolf territory.
