History Characters / SmallvilleHigh

* GenkiGirl

* TheWesley: One of the biggest examples. See the [[{{YMMV/Smallville}} YMMV]] page for more on that.

* IronWoobie: Not much can dent Chloe's optimism, despite the horror show her life often becomes.

* BreakTheCutie: Gets absolutely tortured over the course of the series, Seasons 7 and 8 in particular.

!!Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk)

Clark's LoveInterest from Seasons 1-8. Lana's parents were killed in the meteor shower that brought Clark to Earth, leaving her to be raised by her Aunt Nell. She originally dated Whitney Fordman until he went off to join the Marines, then went on to have an on-and-off relationship with Clark. In Season 5, after breaking up with Clark (again), she begins dating Lex.

Lana is later [[spoiler:attacked by Brainiac and left in a comatose state until Clark defeats Brainiac and she recovers]], then leaves town ([[spoiler:in reality, she was kidnapped by Tess Mercer]]). She returns yet again in Season 8. [[spoiler:Thanks to [=LuthorCorp=] technology, Lana gains superhuman powers along with the ability to absorb Kryptonite radiation. Lex, in a major XanatosGambit, forces her to choose between saving Metropolis by absorbing Kryptonite radiation from a bomb or walking away; she chooses the former, thereby absorbing enough Kryptonite radiation so that Clark can't come within an inch of her ever again. She then leaves Smallville for good.]]

* {{Bookworm}}: As Clark observes in season one, when the world starts to dissapoint her, she retreats into books.

* BlackBestFriend: To Clark

One of Clark closest friends since the eighth grade, Chloe begins the show as a wannabe reporter with a huge crush on Clark. From Seasons 1-4, she works as a reporter at the ''Smallville Torch'', the high-school school newspaper, and helps Clark uncover information about the FreakOfTheWeek. As of late Season 4, she becomes a SecretKeeper for Clark and begins to play a much more important role in his life; in Season 5, after graduating high school, she starts working at the ''Daily Planet''.

Season 6 sees major changes in Chloe's life. Finally getting over her crush on Clark, she enters into a relationship with Jimmy Olsen, with whom she had a one-night stand between Seasons 1 and 2.

Season 9 sees her withdraw from humanity in much the same way as Clark and Oliver do.

She returns to [[spoiler:free the League from the Vigilante Registration Agency's clutches mid-way through Season 10.]]

Clark's LoveInterest for most of the series ([[spoiler:until her departure in Season 8]]), Lana's parents were killed in the meteor shower that brought Clark to Earth. She originally dated Whitney Fordman until he went off to join the Marines ([[spoiler:and was killed in action in Season 2]]), then went on to have an on-and-off relationship with Clark. In Season 5, after breaking up with Clark (again), she begins dating Lex.

In Season 6, Lana finds out that [[spoiler:she's pregnant with Lex's child and finally learns Clark's secret, and is about to leave Lex at the altar until Lionel blackmails her into going through with the wedding. After marrying Lex, Lana finds out that her pregnancy was faked by Lex to get her to marry him (according to WordOfGod)]]. She [[spoiler:[[FakingTheDead fakes her own death]], only to return to Smallville and]] get back together with Clark in Season 7, at the same time seeking revenge against Lex, which causes some friction between her and Clark until she decides to tone it down.

Lana is later [[spoiler:attacked by Brainiac and left in a comatose state until Clark defeats Brainiac and she recovers]], then leaves town ([[spoiler:in reality, she was kidnapped by Tess Mercer]]). She returns yet again in Season 8 with an ImportantHaircut. [[spoiler:Thanks to some [=LuthorCorp=] technology, Lana gains superhuman powers along with the ability to absorb kryptonite radiation.

* ImportantHaircut: When she sheared off most of her hair, leaving it much shorter, [[spoiler:after escaping from Tess]].
* OutGambitted: Season 8. She [[spoiler:belived that stealing the Prometheus skin graft from Lex would a) leave him to die of his injuries while, b) allowing her and Clark to be together. Instead, it allows Lex to infect her with Kryptonite, permanently ending her relationship with Clark]].

* ReallyGetsAround: Has dated more men than the rest of the female cast combined. Whitney-->Clark-->Jason-->Clark-->Lex-->Clark. She's almost never without a relationship, in fact. Codependent much?
