LOIS LANE !
before you ask, yes, that’s her real name. unlike her father and two older brothers, she’s not a maniacal comic book geek and she didn’t change it because she’s a weirdo. nope, her father managed to be in charge of naming her while mama lane was doped up on painkillers.
as you might imagine, she’s done a good lot of fighting to dissociate herself from her drawn-in-ink likeness. for one, she determined at a very young age that she wasn’t going to be good at english, writing, whatever. instead she took ap calculus as a high school freshman and joined her school’s mathelete team. being a major in mathematics at mcgill has its perks, though; in nearly every single class she’s completely surrounded by males, and knows her way around boys. she’d better – between her oldest brother topher, her slightly older brother max, and her youngest brother (with whom she’s the closest) sebastian, she’s been completely versed in the ways of boys, making her – along with sebastian, to some extent – the only members of the lane family to succeed at romance. even though most of her brothers are older, she manages to come off as having a bit of a molly weasley complex, caring for (and scolding when necessary) everybody. being the only one of them to possess a fashion sense, she regularlydrags them alongtakes her brothers shopping for clothes. and, goddammit, lois knows what she’s doing. she watches what not to wear. god forbid if any of them have a date and she hears about it. lois tends to invite herself over before the date to fix the brother-in-question up (“i know what girls like, okay!”) even if it goes to the point of breaking and entering into their apartment/dorm/shack.
there’s some additional family background at topher’s application, if you decide on taking her. :]
also, lois always wears glasses, just an fyi.
