xxxxx|| Description || Zoe has been described as dainty, she has been described as cute, occasionally she's been told she's beautiful. She has deep, expressive eyes, an enchanting smile, and the posture of someone in love with live. She keeps her curly hair relatively short, and while she does have bangs, occasionally wears them slicked or pinned back into the rest of her hair, if her desired look calls for it. She has the straightened teeth and unscarred skin of someone with a charmed childhood, and she wouldn't deny that to be true. She tends to dress in a comfortable, but current, fashion. Sundresses, relaxed jeans, and graphic tees are some of her favorite things to wear. She doesn't typically wear much in the way of accessories; she'll occasionally throw on a bracelet or add a flower to her hair, but she doesn't quite feel herself with too much "bling." Zoe doesn't wear much makeup, typically sticking to eye shadow if she even goes beyond some mascara. Foundation just covers her freckles, and she loves them, so why would she want to cover them up?

Zoe’s always been called a dreamer; she has a certain way she views the world, and occasionally behaves as if all her thoughts are true, or else tries to work to make them true. She’s the type to get an idea in her head, and either immediately run with it, or be unable to move on until she’s completely convinced it’s a bad idea in the first place. She tries not to let her constant daydreaming and ideation get in the way of her life, but she often can’t help herself, and gets lost in thoughts, ideas, and potential futures.
She’s been very sheltered, though. She grew up in a large, but very tight-knit, community of witches, and hasn’t ever really seen the world through a different lens. She hasn’t had much contact with anyone but witches and humans, and while she doesn’t live at home anymore, she’s never strayed far from her parents. She approaches many situations with an almost naive assurance that she understands how to go about it, often to find that she’s way out of element.
She can be very cautious in new situations, mostly because she tends to be insecure about her abilities if she’s not experienced, even if-deep down-she knows she can do it. She’s very much the type that instinctively wants to give up if she’s not immediately good at something, though she’s trying to improve and not expect so much from herself. Self love is something she tends to lack, and she’s so hard on herself, even if she knows she shouldn’t be.
Zoe tends to be really stubborn occasionally. Not in all situations, but when she digs her heels in, she digs her heels in. She’s the type to fight tooth and nail even when she knows she’s wrong, just because she can’t stand to admit she isn’t right. She loves nothing more than to be right, and for others to admit it.

xxxxx|| Likes || Zoe loves playing piano; it’s one of the most calming things a person can do, if you ask her. She’s always loved summer most, she loves most everything about it. She loves animals, but especially birds. She has quite the sweet tooth, and loves all desserts, though ice cream is her favorite. She likes to drink tea, though she prefers it cold, and loves nail polish; she has what amounts to a collection of different polishes by now, and if you find her without painted nails, something is probably wrong.
xx
xxxxx|| Dislikes || Zoe hates being challenged in any way; while she likes projects and activities that challenge her, people are a different story. She’s always hated the cold, and she blames it on being born and raised in the desert. She hates wearing sweaters, as she generally finds them uncomfortable, and she also can’t stand to wear tight clothing. She never got a taste for coffee, and hates being alone for much longer than a day.

xxxxx|| Fears || the dark, being sick.

xxxxx|| Secrets || Zoe doesn't have a lot of secrets; the only one she really holds is that she left home in secret to find Greythorne.xx

xxxxx|| Water || Plenty of witches have control over an element; it’s not uncommon, and control over water is a common ability for witches. A lot of witches have powers that are linked to their emotions, and while that is the case, to an extent, for Zoe; she never had trouble getting her emotions and powers to work together. Strong flares of emotion don’t make her powers go out of control, but they can be used to help her. Bursts of anger or fear might help her to move water more quickly, while happiness may make it easier to tap into her abilities. It may be that she is so well practiced, but Zoe really does have excellent control over most every aspect of her abilities. Silver can cause burns if exposed for long enough (though, luckily, she’s not the type that will be burned instantly on contact-though it does always hurt), and Zoe has found that her powers tend to ebb and flow like the tide, sometimes stronger than others, but never not there.
xx
xxxxx|| Talents || Piano, bilingual, swimming, cooking
xx
xxxxx|| Strengths || Zoe is loyal to people she cares about, sometimes to a fault. She’s willing to stand behind her family and friends even when she thinks they’re wrong (she can tell them that in private). She tries to be helpful, always pointing out solutions when she sees them, or ways someone can improve. Zoe tends to be fairly self-sufficient, both in life and work. She doesn’t need to be told what to do or when to do it, instead she just does what she can see needs to be done.
xx
xxxxx|| Weaknesses || Zoe gets frustrated easily, and that often turns to tears. In fact, she cries basically any time she feels a particularly strong emotion. She doesn’t have much faith in herself, and often gives up on things, before she really has the chance to see if she’s going to succeed, so that she doesn’t fail.

Zoe’s parents never talked a lot about life before she started school, and, originally, that never bothered her. She knew they didn’t get married until she was almost five, but in her mind that was normal. She grew up with two parents that loved and supported her, who made sure she had the resources she needed to control her powers when they began to manifest in early childhood, and who were invested in her education. They sheltered her from the outside world a little too much, but they always meant well, she thought. She knew they loved her, but she always felt as though she was missing something. When she was a kid, she decided to fill that void by learning to play piano, as a teenager, she filled her time with studying, friends, and more milkshakes than was probably healthy.
But she still never quite felt right. As she grew, she felt more disconnected from her community, and from herself. Whatever it was that she was missing made her feel like she didn’t belong there, even though it should have felt like the best place in the world for her to be.
Zoe has always known about her half-brother; at first she was very upset that she didn’t get to meet him, but her father assured her that it was just because his mother hated her mother. For a long time, she even believed it. Until after the attack on Greythorne. Her father offering her brother to come live with them caused a big fight between her parents, mostly her mother being angry about her father making an offer he wouldn’t actually honor. She began to wonder if her father was actually the problem.
It was stupid, really; leaving the safety of the coven to go to a town that had so recently suffered an attack. It became an even stupider idea after the second attack. By all accounts, Zoey should have stayed in Arizona, where she was already helping teach young witches how to control their powers, and offering piano lessons to some of the older children. She was making her own way in the community, and her place in it was important enough that she could sustain herself. But, at some point, she began to equate those feelings of something missing with having a sibling she’d never even met. Logically, she knew it wasn’t going to change anything, but she had this idea in her mind of finding him; that they would be friends, and be close, and they would stick together when things were rough, and they would be there for one another no matter what.
She knew her parents would talk her out of it if she told them, so she didn’t. She just packed some bags, and she left. She wasn’t entirely sure how to find Greythorne (asking too many questions would probably just give her away), but she was sure she could get there. It couldn’t be that difficult.
