Zoey is a total short-stop next to her Dad, standing at only 5'3 with a slim stature – she doesn't come across as particularly intimidating. Upon closer inspection you can see that her body is toned after years of physically demanding sport and activities – the palms of her hands and soles of her feet are usually calloused to some degree, and various scrapes or bruises can be seen dotted around her body most of the time; either from her varied physical activities, or sheer clumsiness. Further physical attributes left over from either her clumsiness or sports include two sunken knuckles on her right hand after having broken them (Kayaking; 8 years old); a small bump on the left side of her collarbone after having broken that (Jiu Jitsu; 13 years old); and a somewhat straight scar about 4 inches long on her right forearm, from an open fracture wound (Clumsiness – 8 months ago). More bumps and bruises are likely to follow Zoey and her cloddish ways. 

Her long brown hair – almost as dark as her father's – has a natural wave to it, and can usually be seen hanging loose, or just slung into some form of messy ponytail; she's not one to put much effort into it. Make-up is also a rarity, what with her skin being quite clear and eyelashes being long and dark enough naturally. Clothing is not something she particularly fusses over either, wearing whatever looks good and is suitable for the necessary climate. 

After having lived in America for so long, she has lost a lot of her native Australian accent; but with constant visits and her Dad's influence, one can still hear that familiar Aussie drawl hidden in her words.

Zoey tends to be far more deadpan and calm than her Dad; although she certainly shares his bluntness. Although reigning it in to avoid insulting most people, she can be as blunt as she wants when it comes to her family – it's not uncommon for her to share jibes and cheeky insults with her Dad; truthful and harsh, but never taken as such, instead with a joking smile and sarcastic look. With this kind of behaviour, it's rare for them to fall out; indeed, Zoey rarely falls out with many a person. This could be that she has simply attracted friends in the past who understood that kind of tactless humour, certainly, but it would be fair to say the girl exhibits a playfulness that many could find refreshing. 

Beyond her humour, Zoey has an inquisitive and even intuitive nature – having lived with just her Dad, she's learnt to pick up on small things that shows whenever he's having a bad day. While she can't exactly do this perfectly with strangers, she's quick to notice the furrowing of a brow, or a tightening of a fist. From this, she has developed a talent of being a "Good listener". She'll lend a shoulder to lean on for most, should they need it during their troubles – although reluctant to give advice on the possibility it makes things worse, Zoey will be more than happy to just sit and let them talk. 

It should also be noted that for a girl who can ride a board as smooth as anything without such much as a wobble, it's astounding how clumsy she can be when just walking about; tripping over her own feet, stubbing her toes, smacking her limbs off walls or corners – she broke her nose once by falling over nothing in particular, and bouncing her head off a table. If you're in the same room with her for a long time, expect to hear some form of thud, followed by a profanity or 3.[/indent]

Zoey is aware that her father feels somewhat guilty for not being there a lot in her early years; but she doesn't hold it against him. Honestly, she can barely remember things – any strong emotions she does recall from her life as a baby are always attributed with happiness; spending time with her grandparents, and seeing her parents when they came back from a tour. She doesn't recall sadness; she doesn't recall missing her mum and dad – the one thing she does recall is her leaving Australia. 

Although at the age of 5, it was hard to forget the strange look on her Mum's face; the odd feeling when she refused to give her a cuddle or a kiss like she used to when she got back from work. Even worse, when Zoey went with her Dad and never went back home. As the years passed, she grew to understand her father's decision for emigrating; and with that came a strong feeling of dislike and anger towards her mother. Although never so strong as to take over her life, it was a buried feeling that never really went away. 

However, regardless of this, Zoey's life was pretty good – average, but good. She went to an okay school in California, made plenty of friends; even getting to visit her grandparents and other extended family during the holidays when she and her dad visited Australia. The last thing she expected was to suddenly become a millionaire. 

Well... daughter of one, anyway. 

She understood why they had to move (inner-city California was not the place to be for the suddenly rich; not the area they were staying in anyway); but it was somewhat difficult, leaving her old friends behind. From what she'd gathered from various forms of media, the teenagers in this rich, gated community, were not going to be the type she usually hung around with. Her Dad says to give it a chance, so she'll come at it with an open-mind... however, her reservations about her new community remain intact. At least Uncle Jay is nearby.

[list][*][b]Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu[/b] - She got into the sport at around the age of 5, while still in Australia. Although not competing until far older, she took to the martial art very well, thoroughly enjoying it and wanting to progress through the stages as quickly as possible; her instructors in America appreciated her enthusiasm, and very recently she received her blue belt in the discipline. 

[*][b]Surfing & Kayaking[/b] - More sports she enjoys; this time with her Dad. These are entirely recreational – Zoey reckons she'd lose interest if she went into competitions for them. 

[*][b]Road Trips[/b] - Ah, nothing better than the open road, some rock music, and good company. Although she can easily get those last two things at home, there's something exciting about driving nowhere in particular. 

[*][b]Spoopy Scary Skeletons[/b] - Well, maybe not the song, but scary stuff. Halloween, horror movies, the paranormal – anything with an air of mystery or danger always thrills Zoey and her superstitious ways. Also, who is she kidding, the song is [I]awesome[/i].

[b]Gabriel Clarke[/b] – [i]Father[/i] – Her Dad means the world to her; she knows the shit he's been through in his life, and she loves him all the more for putting it aside to raise her by himself. Now and then she's annoyed at some of the rules he lays out, but that's generally the case for any healthy father-daughter relationship. Regardless of that, she'll love till the day she dies. 

[b]Charity Black[/b] – [i]Estranged Mother[/i] – The less said about this one, the better. Zoey feels far more animosity and bitterness towards her mother than Gabriel does; she can't see herself forgiving Charity for the way she treated herself and her Dad. 

[b]Jameson Jones[/b] - [I]Family Friend[/i] - She knows her Dad's ex-army bud by Uncle Jay, as she has done since a young child. He's spent enough time with herself and her Dad to pretty much be a part of the family.[/indent]
