Okay, I need something to get my fannish writing muscles back in shape (we aren't going to talk about the rest of me). So, from bop_radar:

Name a character (from a show I'm familiar with) and I'll give you three (or more) facts about them from my personal canon/fanon.

Martha Kent.

1. Of course she thought about Lionel, how it would be with him, even when Jonathan was alive. A woman would have to be dead not to, when Lionel was standing so close and touching her all the time. That doesn't mean she did anything wrong or ever would have. She was raised to understand very well that there were lines not to be crossed, boys not to be brought home -- and even if she did marry one, she knew that a lot of them shouldn't be brought home for a reason. Thinking never hurt anyone; acting often did. So she behaved with the utmost propriety, and brought that extra energy to the place it belonged, the bed she shared with Jonathan.

2. She had a cat named Snowball when she was a girl. It was a white Persian-mutt type, nearly blind, and it got hit by a car when she was twelve. She's always wanted another cat, but cats haven't thrived in Smallville since 1989. Maybe they have some special vulnerability to Kryptonite. (Given what she knows now, she tries not to eat much food grown in Smallville unless it's from their farm, which she knows is clean.)

3. Jonathan taught her to use a shotgun, but what she really wants is a handgun. Despite what happened to Senator Webb, she's seriously thinking about getting a concealed carry permit for when she's in Virginia, where she has a brand new tiny apartment.
