"I am inhabited by a cry. Nightly it flaps out, looking, with its hooks, for something to love."

Ability:
Energy Manipulation: Zoe's ability is really rather self-explanatory. She can manipulate pretty much any form of energy and use it however she wants. Well, within limits. Some forms of energy are harder to convert than others- for example, it's much easier to transfer kinetic energy to an object than it would be to transfer light energy. She can also absorb energy, but not without limits. All energy that's absorbed has to be released- and if she doesn't control it, it will be done so in the form of a concussive blast, which varies in strength according to how much energy she's been trying to hold in. These concussive blasts often cause her to pass out. She can control these blasts, and can even use the energy in her own body to create one. This is extremely dangerous, however, as it could knock her out if she doesn't control the amount of energy used. For some unknown reason, her ability causes her body's metabolism to be higher than normal, meaning she needs to eat more than a normal person.
Appearance:
Zoe stands at a height of 5'4". Her frame is slightly narrower than normal, but not extraordinarily so. She's got a relatively straight figure, but does have some curves. One side of her head is shaved, and she has some lines shaved into her brow on the same side. Her hair is a dark brown, as are her eyes. Her face is relatively long and narrow. Her style is, as she describes it, "anything flattering and black." It's rare to see her in colour.

Personality:
On first impressions, Zoe doesn't exactly come across as a villain. She's generally got quite a pleasant demeanour. She's extremely honest, although never brutally so. She seems like a perfectly average college student- complete with coffee. She's friendly, often cheerful, ready to laugh, and always willing to lend a helping hand. She can be sarcastic at times, but never cruel. She's the type of person who tells someone to put a spider outside instead of stepping on it. She's an incredibly open-minded person, and loves nothing more than a debate that opens her to new ways of thinking and new opinions. She loves to read for the same reason. Her love of dance is simply a way to express herself, and was a constant in her life as she grew up and came to terms with who she is. Her self-expression is very important to her, and she would never change herself to make anyone else happy. She is who she is, faults and all.
And Zoe does have her faults. Besides being completely unable to deal with any kind of emotional trauma, she also has an ice-cold temper lying just beneath her skin. When she snaps, she turns cold and ruthless. When she's angered, it's very easy to see why she's a villain. While she still shows mercy, it's always ice cold. She'll attack anyone or do anything. She's gone through so much for so long that being a hero was never an option for her. At her best, she's violent, yet merciful. At her worse, she's destructive, and will only show mercy if it's begged for. She's incredibly passionate and throws her heart and her soul into everything she does- including destroying things to get what she wants.

History:
Zoe was born into a perfectly normal family. Her parents split up when she was 7, but the shared custody arrangement worked well, and they both made it perfectly clear that they did still love Zoe and her older brother. Zoe never missed a soccer practice or a dance rehearsal or a drama class, and she never came across as anything but normal. However, things started to go wrong as she reached her early teens. It started when her father, a cop. died on the job. He was hailed as a hero, but that did nothing to sooth Zoe's pain. She later discovered that the heroes had allowed him to be killed and had called it collateral damage. While saving him was next to impossible, Zoe was still angry, and felt like they hadn't even tried.
Then, when her powers first appeared, she was terrified. Because it didn't start with just being able to apply kinetic energy to something- no, it came when she was struck by lightning. Her body absorbed the energy and then sent it out in a concussive blast that knocked her brother out and broke two of his ribs, as well as knocking Zoe herself out. She was terrified of herself and her ability, and locked herself away in her bedroom for days, trying to figure out how to control it. When she finally emerged, there was an incident on the streets where a hero turned up. She asked them for their help, but they turned her down. It was a villain who actually agreed to help her, to give her proper training. And from that moment, Zoe was a villain. The heroes hadn't saved her father. They hadn't come to help when she'd first discovered her power. They hadn't helped when she'd asked- but a villain had. And so, her alliance was sworn.
