Brooke Davis began as your average shallow cheerleader, concerned with nothing more than finding cute boys and raging parties. However, over the last three years she has proven to be much more than that. Brooke Davis is loyal, outgoing, determined, motivated, confident, daring, loving, charismatic, ‘tough, smart, one of a kind’.
In season one, we followed her down the road of teenage love. Known for her wild ways, Brooke Davis finally decided to give monogamy a try. Unfortunately, the road did not lead her to happiness. Her boyfriend, Lucas Scott, and her best friend, Peyton Sawyer, fell for each other. Brooke, already insecure about the relationship between the two most important people in her life, was heartbroken when she learned of their relationship. Though she put on a brave face, her broken heart could not be hidden forever. She found an unexpected friendship in Lucas’ childhood friend, Mouth McFadden, and confided that, “Girls just want someone to want them back.” A pregnancy scare and more hidden truths damaged the relationship between her and Lucas further. However, her friendship with Peyton wasn’t something she was as quick to give up on. The season ended with the two of them putting their friendship back together.

Change was imminent for Brooke in season two. Once concerned only with boys and booze, she began to think of her future and about herself. Triggered by her parents’ sudden loss of money, Brooke was forced to focus on the relationships in her life and her relationship with herself. Her defenses were still on high and she guarded her heart a bit more closely this season. As time passed, Brooke began to form a friendship with Lucas, something they hadn’t had before their relationship. She and Mouth became closer friends. Always up for a challenge, Brooke ran for Student Council President, and to her surprise, she won. In season two, Brooke was: loyal, determined, hard-working, apprehensive, hopeful, and most importantly, loved. Brooke left Tree Hill for the summer to join her parents in California. Before she left, Lucas confessed that he loved her. She had a lot of thinking to do.

The third season Brooke put into practice what she had learned in season two. Always a friend, she offered Haley a place to stay when she returned to Tree Hill. Though, she’d forgiven Lucas and had feelings for him, she wasn’t ready to begin a relationship with him. She reverted shortly to her ‘friends with benefits’ motto. She focused on her clothing line, Student Council, and cheerleading. A lot of doors opened for Brooke in season three. The fashion world called her to New York, but her heart took her back to her friends. Eventually, Brooke let her guard down and opened her heart once again to Lucas. For a few moments, she seemed to have everything -- the perfect boyfriend, great friends, and an optimistic future. But in classic Tree Hill style, destruction lurked around the corner. It seemed Peyton still had feelings for Lucas. Though, Brooke had spent a great amount of time trying to put the past behind her, she couldn’t escape completely. The most painful time of her life flashed before her eyes again. Angry and hurt, Brooke left with these words, “I gave you a second chance, and you blew it.” What the future holds for Brooke Davis and the relationships with the people in her life is still unknown. But, “this is Brooke. I mean, you can bet it’s not gonna be boring.”
