Aside from a love for hoops, it seemed that Lucas and Nathan were two young men with little in common, but they were bound by the fact that they share the same father. The star of the high school basketball team, Nathan was raised to inherit is father's throne amidst popularity and wealth, while his half-brother Lucas was raised amidst modest surroundings, the only child of a single mom. The journeys of the people who inhabit Tree Hill have been vast, from Lucas's tentative steps off the river court into high school popularity, from Nathan and Haley's first kiss to marriage, from Peyton and Brooke's deep friendship to their estrangement. But in other ways, the journey has only just begun. Where will the roads lead them? And who will they be when they reach their destination? The answers lie in a place called Tree Hill. (Source)

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.
Season four left Brooke alone once again. Without a place to stay and no one to call a best friend, Brooke found help in the most unlikely candidate, former rival Rachel Gatina. Though Brooke was very clear about her feelings in relation to Peyton, the same could not be said for Lucas. Their relationship was just as uncertain as ever. With him fighting for someone he didn't even realize he'd already lost. After losing Lucas and Peyton again, Brooke continued her friendships with Haley and Mouth and began to see the kinder side of Rachel. Her final year at Tree Hill was nothing short of a roller coaster, with more ups and downs than one would deem possible, but when all was said and done, Brooke Davis had come out on top. She had mended her friendship with Peyton, found true love in transfer student Chase Adams, and graduated high school with nothing but an optimistic future in her midst.

"Brooke doesn't apologize for herself. I love that about her! She's like: Look this is me. This is what I like. This is what I do. Take it or leave it... She's like any other woman who is not quite comfortable in her own skin, she goes home and cries when she is alone."
"Brooke is definitely confident shall we say, she is daring, she is a little wild. She does everything on the planet that I would have never done, in high school, I mean I read the scripts and I think: I can't do this! She's a role model of what not to do! She sets examples of what can really hurt you if you let it, if you take things too far."
"Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention."

"I'm especially impressed by Sophia Bush. The writers will often use her character as the catalyst for their plots, which means Brooke's personality takes violent shifts. With almost no help from the scribes, Bush makes you fall for Brooke, even when she's doing the most unlikable, dishonest things. Sophia Bush is so damn charming it's hard to simply write her off as a match for Lucas."
