Kara Kent is Clark Kent's Kryptonian cousin, the daughter of Zor-El, and a member of the House of El.
Chloe Sullivan created a false backstory for the authorities to cover Kara's sudden appearance in Smallville, explaining that she was Clark's cousin on his adoptive father's side, raised in Minnesota for the past 19 years until she was able to track down her one remaining blood relative.
Kara became a target for Brainiac, who forced her to follow him into space. Brainiac trapped her on Krypton in 1986 after traveling through time. Kara appeared to return to Earth with Clark but in reality, Brainiac had put Kara in the Phantom Zone and was posing as her on Earth. Chloe rescued eventually both Clark and Kara from the Phantom Zone.
In 2010, Kara returned to Metropolis, publicly revealing her powers and becoming a hero to look after the city as the "Maiden of Might", keeping it safe from the "Darkness" that Jor-El warned Clark about. When the Vigilante Registration Act was put into effect, many heroes were put on a most wanted list. Among them was Kara, who was listed under the name "Supergirl".
After Clark was ready to face the darkness, Jor-El coldly informed Kara that her destiny was elsewhere. Tearfully, Kara bid Clark an unheard goodbye before putting on a Legion ring and disappearing, presumably to the future, to fulfill her own destiny.
