Mara was a somewhat unscrupulous student at Smallville High School. In her junior year, she was the girlfriend and co-conspirator of Jason Dante. In her senior year, Mara was on the cheerleading squad at Smallville High.
Season Three[]
She was standing alongside Dante as he pronounced Pete Ross the winner of his latest race and congratulated Pete with a kiss on the cheek. She gave him a more passionate kiss "for luck" prior to his next race, which she was responsible for starting.[1]
She was at Dante's garage when Clark and Pete arrived with Lex Luthor's Porsche. Dante told her to drive the car to the race site but, not trusting the pair, Pete insisted on driving it himself, with Mara as passenger. She then started the race that ended in Dante's death.[1]
Season Four[]
She apparently suffered no lasting repercussions from her involvement with Dante, for by the next year, she had joined (or possibly had already been a part of) the Smallville High cheerleaders. She along with Mandy, Mary and Rhonda were using a Kryptonite-laced love potion to cause the football players to be obsessively devoted to them.[2]
Months later, she and Mary met up with Clark, at the Talon, and asked him to go with them to a party. Clark rejected the offer, so Mara and Mary went to some other guys.[3]
Appearances[]
