[edit] Personality
Nell Potter was an independent woman who seemed content with her flower shop. [1] After Lana Lang was left orphaned by the meteor shower, Nell took in her niece and cared for her as her own daughter.
She also had a good relationship with Jonathan Kent, whom she had dated during high school.
Nell felt responsible to keep the good image that Lana had of her late parents and even supported Lana's involvement with cheerleading.
As one of Lana Lang's few living relatives, Nell did all she could to help her niece become the woman that she is. Lana knew that she could always count with her aunt's support and counsel.
[edit] Early Life
Nell was the sister of Laura Lang. She was good friends with Jonathan and Martha Kent, and once dated Jonathan in high school. She owned the flower shop attached to the Talon Theater, which was the place where Lana's parents first met.
After Lana's parents were killed, Nell kept Lana.
[edit] Season One
Nell suspected but didn't tell Lana that Henry Small was actually Lana's biological father. Nell sold the Talon building to Lex Luthor, then helped Lana manage the Talon after Lana proposed to turn it into a coffee shop.
[edit] Season Two
Nell got married to Dean Winters, an insurance adjuster she met after the 2002 tornadoes, and moved with him to Metropolis. When Lana didn't want to leave Smallville until she finished school, Nell allowed Lana to live with the Sullivans.
[edit] Season Six
Nell came back into Lana's life when Lana became engaged to Lex Luthor. She helped her pick out a wedding dress in Paris and attended Lex and Lana's wedding. Nell has been visited by Lana frequently since the wedding, and Lana sometimes uses that as an excuse to Clark while she goes and does work on her Isis Foundation, goes to spy on Lex, or when she was holding Lionel Luthor captive.
