FRIENDS
♙ yeahihidmypants - [147 - The Other Side] Oliver is her ex-lover, business partner and friend. To say that they have a complicated relationship is a bit of an understatement to say the least. It's a bit of a roller coaster, between Oliver's fidelity issues early on, and Tess's trust issues throughout but prior to her death they had reached a somewhat even keel again.
♙ Clark Kent - [not present.] Clark was another instrumental part of her redemption, and he was the first person to really trust her after the mess she made with Checkmate and the Kandorians. Tess owes a lot of who she is to Clark, and he's one of the few forces of true good in her life, and in the end, she dies to protect him from Lex, and takes the knowledge of his identity as the Blur with her.
♙ Lois Lane - [not present.] Clark's fiancee, and Lois's employee at the Daily Planet. Tess and Lois bump heads fairly often, and Lois probably doesn't consider her a friend, but they are capable of working together towards a purpose every once in a while.
♙ Chloe Sullivan - [not present.] The creator of Watchtower, technowhiz and Lois's cousin. This is an instance where the term "friend" is used very loosely, but they have been through a lot together, and Tess is the one who took over running Watchtower when Chloe faked her own death to save Oliver.
♙ Lana Lang - [not present.] The former Mrs. Luthor, Lana was the one who brought the way Lex was using Tess to her attention, and helped her fight back against it. Turns out that Lana was using her as well, but she was a bit more upfront about it and had good reason to do so. Mostly. Kind of.
♙ ringthatbell - [147 - The Other Side.] Chloe's late husband, and Tess's former employee. He died a while before Tess did, but they still wound up in the same place and are figuring out how things work, one step at a time.
ACQUAINTANCES
♙ bound_byfate - [147 - The Other Side.] The reaper who wanders around the Level and talks to the dead. Tess isn't sure how she feels about her. She wants to trust her, but trusting someone who is supposed to be balancing fate and having some of her souls wind up here isn't something that she can easily give herself over to trust. At all.
♙ ahandsomeguy - [location unknown.] The man who brought her to the Levels. Major distrust there, but there's not much she can do about it, and hey -- at least this is better than Hell.
ENEMIES
♙ Lex Luthor - [not present.] Half-brother, and the man who kills her. Lex used her for his own personal gain for years, all while knowing that she was his half-sister and not telling her, using that to his advantage. Tess hates him, even though she knowingly sacrificed herself for Clark, and he will be the brunt of some ghostly rage should he ever wind up on her Level.
♙ Lionel Luthor (Mirrorverse) - [not present.] Her father, but in a flipped universe where Clark was Ultraman instead of the Blur. He escaped to their universe using the mirror box, and tried to kill Tess so that Lex could have her heart. She shot him several times, before leaving him for dead in her escape.
