Older folks are quick to judge a book by the cover and immediately classify her as a problem-child just off her looks alone while younger people are more receptive to her. Zoey carries herself with an air of confidence, but rather than just being a screaming wreck as people assume her, she is fairly chill and laid back. Taking slow and steady steps with her hands in her pocket, a cigarette hanging from her lips, and generally relaxed demeanor. Though she's also a little rough, that might just be because she's a bit of a tomboy. Zoey had a sister that she wanted to desperately distance herself from, in terms of looks and demeanor. She smokes, she’s loud, and she drinks, and she tends to attract attention with her tomboyish streak. Her voice is a little rough from cigarette smoking, and she has a few scars and old wounds from previous injuries. Now, onto her appearance, Zoey is pretty pronounced due to a mixture of her hair, and her height. Her hair is a dark black color, but a few strands are a dyed cyan color which heavily sticks out against the natural color of her hairline. It's near-back length, and flowing in its appearance, and with the cyan strands, it looks pretty punk rock. Zoey’s hair in a straight texture that is kept clean - but is a bit damaged from all the hair-dye and a few mess-ups. The other thing that makes Zoey stand-out is her height, people like to call her a Goddamn Amazon because she’s six feet tall exactly. She’s bony as hell, being skinny and without any sizable amount of body fat or muscle - She has like a thin layer of muscle if you squint, but there isn’t much there. A lot of her exercise comes from hauling ass from people she pissed off, otherwise, she spends plenty of time lounging around but she certainly does have a little sex appeal. Her bust is 38E, which is pretty big, and her hips are slightly prominent, but she doesn't pack a lot in the ass area, though. Her body is a rough-square build rather than the famed hour-glass build but in all honesty, you can honestly say that her body is more-boyish other than her breasts. In terms of ethnicity Zoey is white... she used to think that she was Irish but ancestry dot com told her that she was a mess of different countries but at least [i]kinda[/i] Scottish. She found out that she was five-percent African actually. [url=https://favpng.com/png_view/snowflake-snowflake-symbol-png/BrPf33Aj]On the back of her left hand she has a strange tattoo of a snowflake.[/url][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=cyan][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Sorry love, but I think it's best you keep your distance - for us both."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=cyan][b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey's main goal was to escape her home town. Now that there's not much of anything to escape from anymore, Zoey is roaming the states looking for purpose. Any kind of purpose. The band that she roams with, Queen Beach, is kinda like a family to her but it's not what she wants. [color=cyan][b]PHILOSOPHY ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey believes in freedom and exploring life and yourself above all else. It might be something an idealist spouts, but it's something that helps her get up in the morning. She believes that everyone should be a free-spirit. [color=cyan][b]SECRETS ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey keeps her death and other stuff involving the Glutton on the low, low, for personal reasons. Other than that she doesn't really keep secrets or anything because she sees herself as an open book. Nothing to hide. [color=cyan][b]SEXUALITY ⫻[/b][/color] Bisexual, but lately, she feels a frigidity inside of herself; as the girl she loved is dead. She doesn't know if she'll ever feel the same way for anyone else and is thus keeping that side of her repressed. [color=cyan][b]FEARS ⫻[/b][/color] After everything that she's been through; Zoey fears quite a lot. After dying and coming back to life, she has nightmares about her death to the point of PTSD. She fears death again, and she also fears getting attached to people only for them to die. This is why she's much colder and she fears that the fire that was inside of her is dead for good. Zoey goes to many heights to rekindle that fire but she fears that she's cold for good. [color=cyan][b]QUIRKS ⫻[/b][/color] Many. People who interact with Zoey immediately find out that she is pretty talkative. She tends to drag out her statements by adding plenty of words. She has a habit of rambling. Along with the fact that she's oddly energetic and spastic. [color=cyan][b]FLAWS ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey's biggest flaw is currently the fact that she's emotionally distant and suffers from many many problems from the fact that her lover is dead and that she died before. She doesn't like getting close to people, because she fears to lose them again. Most importantly, somebody can excite her to a violent rage if they bring up Claire.

I want things back to the way they were. At least I had Claire then."[/i] [indent][indent]Zoey Gray, a native of Farmer Hill, was the eldest sister of two siblings, and the daughter of two illustrious scientists that had to drive like an hour to get to work. Because of that, payday was great, and the two girls could live in comfort though, Zoey grew up inadequate to her younger sister, Sabrina Gray. A girl that was a piano prodigy... being able to play the piano young as three years old like an expert. She only got better with age as she destroyed talent shows, and eventually became a local sensation in Farmer Hill. While Zoey was largely ignored while Sabrina shined. Thus, Zoey tried her best to find validation where ever she could find it. This inadequacy drove Zoey to try playing instruments (didn't work) until she kept looking for something that she was talented at. Puberty hit Zoey hard, and she grew enormous in height, and she went to her school's basketball team... she was the worst on the team at the start, and through years of training she only ended up being okay. This wasn't good enough, but Zoey found what she was looking for; validation. She met a girl in school, her name was Claire O'Sullivan, and the two became the best of all friends. Doing everything together... even after Zoey had noticed a change in Claire, a darkness that was deep inside the girl, Zoey still stuck with her. She helped her where ever she could - even adopting a similar punk persona after her. Even though the years, Zoey felt something growing inside of her, affection for Claire. An affection that she was slowly realizing wasn't being returned. This put Zoey back in a place similar to before she even met Claire, as she fell into an inadequacy induced despair. She tried to do anything to feel something... She was raised chasing dreams and had a love of different brands of music. Zoey played around with instruments, but they weren't her thing (they hurt the shit out of her fingers). But, she was drawn to electronic music... and eventually, she figured out how to make music using electronic and it became her obsession her grades plummeted as she aspired to become a techno artist. She dropped a few hot LPs on Soundcloud, but barely gathered an online audience. However, she finds her true audience by performing at parties which escalated her popularity in Farmer Hill. While playing DJ, she connected with Claire again... and eventually, Claire revealed to Zoey that she was suffering abuse at the hands of her parents. This didn't change one thing about what Zoey felt about her and felt their connection getting even stronger because she was willing to reveal this about herself. To her, and only her. Zoey felt like they were trapped in this godforsaken town, and had to leave, no matter the cost. But, Zoey's parents wanted her to get an education in a profiting field... but, made the mistake of giving her enough autonomy to choose her classes with them being none the wiser. She went towards a career in music and has been enjoying her classes ever since... Then Zoey went through hell at the camp. She lived through Scott Reese's rampage at Claire's side, but ultimately she succumbed to the eldritch horror placing her into a coma. She was blissfully unaware of what happened while she was under, but while she was asleep she dreamed of an ideal world. That ideal world of hers was broken when she was woken up and when she woke up; she found out that her crush, Claire, was killed by the thing that put her in a coma - along with her other best friend Dexter. The Glutton they called it. Upon hearing about Claire's death, Zoey immediately flew into a rage and Awakened. With her newfound ability, she fought the forces of the Glutton and whoever else came their way until the final confrontation with the thing. Unfortunately, Zoey fell victim to the creature and was killed unceremoniously by the abomination. Fortunately, after the Glutton was defeated, a new timeline was created where Zoey and her friends were resurrected... except for Claire who sacrificed her spot so that Zoey could be revived instead. Zoey didn't know how to feel about this. Returning to Farmer Hill, Zoey found out that, in this new timeline, the town wasn't destroyed by the Glutton but instead by a massive earthquake. The sheer grief of being without Claire and a majority of her friends being dead caused Zoey to undergo a Second-Awakening. With Farmer Hill destroyed; the Gray family moved on but Zoey decided to go her own way. There was a traveling band supposed to play a venue in Farmer Hill from California that got stuck there during the Earthquake known as Queen Beach. Zoey showed her skills and linked up with them and went on her way.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=cyan][b] SKILLS & TALENTS [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"All I got left now is music and the memory of what I used to have."[/i] [indent][indent][indent] [color=cyan][b]Music Making ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey has from a young age, played with programs such as Audacity, and went on various sites to get samples. Thus, putting together some techno songs (along with some rap and rock beats). She wants to get a singer, but... they're not in demand these days. [color=cyan][b]Basketball ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey played for her high school's basketball team for ages. She isn't the best at it, but she's gotten a pretty impressive speed, aim, and coordination. [color=cyan][b]Spraypainting ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey has been taught how to tag buildings by a friend of hers, and she fell in love with it. She knows how to work stencils, and she has tagged many, many places (Usually trains, but has tagged the mayor's house one time). [/indent][/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=cyan][b] ABSTRACTION [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"Ironic, back in the day I'd probably get a fire abstraction. Funny how shit has changed."[/i] [indent][indent] [color=cyan][b]TYPE ⫻[/b][/color] Awakened. [color=cyan][b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b][/color] Snowmancery, Zoey can create snow out of the palms of her hand as well as control ice and manipulate the weather to an extent. [color=cyan][b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b][/color] Seemingly linked to how sad Zoey is over the death of Claire and her cold nature, Zoey can create snow out of the palms of her hand. She can create tons of snow in mere seconds, from a snowball to a cascading wave of snow. Also, she can telekinetically move snow and functionally shape it in any way imaginable, provided that she has enough snow. Zoey can tightly pack snow together to create a dense construction that she can stand on, too. Which means naturally she already has a versatile defense, offensive, and mobility. She can create shields of snow, attack people with snowballs, and create hills out of snow. Of course, this isn't the end of Zoey's abstraction, however, as it seems that Zoey's control over snow also extends to ice and the weather. At will, by packing the snow together, Zoey can create ice in any shape she desires - however, her abstraction seemingly only extends to controlling smaller pieces of ice (I.E snow). The larger the construct the less she'll be able to control and manipulate it. The other side of her abstraction is controlling the weather to an extent. She can change the weather to force a snowfall provided that the environment isn't too hot. This snowstorm starts off light but if she keeps it up she can create a blizzard in a few hours. [indent][indent][color=cyan][b]The Dying Sparks ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey's former abstraction that she has just the loosest connection to that reflected her former wild nature. Back in the day, when Zoey was facing off against the Glutton, she was capable of summoning bolts of lightning from her fingertips and being able to teleport anywhere insight through a bolt of lightning. However, she only has the barest connection to it and she went from summoning bolts of lightning to creating a few sparks for a few seconds and disappearing. She can kinda shock somebody but it'd be like a static shock instead of frying somebody. She could, maybe, give somebody a heart attack but she finds it easier to just use her snow.[/indent][/indent] [color=cyan][b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey's aura sensing is connected to her abstraction. If she causes a snowstorm and anyone is by themselves; she can seee their auras. This ability has as much range as her snowstorm ability, which is about forty meters. [color=cyan][b]LIMITS ⫻[/b][/color] Zoey can manipulate all snow within twenty-seven meters of herself, but the further away the snow is the less fine control she has over it. At twenty-seven meters; she might be able to move it but shaping it into anything is completely out of the question. As stated before, Zoey cannot control bigger pieces of ice - anything maybe more than ten pounds of ice is out of the question. While she can freeze her snow into solid ice, she can take it apart and turn it back into the snow... except that'd be more trouble than it'd be honestly worth. Naturally, creating snow is linked to her stamina and she can create as much as her stamina would allow her to. The snowstorm she creates can affect up to forty meters and she cannot create it if the environment is too hot/dry. Zoey also can't affect water directly in any way (meaning she would have to freeze it herself). [color=cyan][b]WEAKNESSES ⫻[/b][/color] The first glaring weakness is that she's not in any way immune to ice. If she creates ice out of her hands it's going to get cold, and her abstraction naturally cools the environment. If she's not wearing the right-wear it's gonna be cold. She can easily give herself frost-bite and hypothermia (which she has done a few times and it ain't pretty). Her abstraction obscures her vision by its very nature - by creating snow she creates fog and diamond dust. Her weather manipulation also does the same thing and makes it harder for her to see. Zoey's abstraction is also heavily linked to her emotions of sadness and inadequacy and requires her to be... cold emotionally. If she's around somebody she loves and cares about her abstraction will weaken the closer she is to them physically. To the point where, if she's touching them; her abstraction will effectively be nullified. Also "warm" emotions like love, happiness, etc, will also weaken her abstraction long as she's feeling it - which may not be that big of a drawback but can also screw her over. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][color=cyan][b] OTHER [/b][/color][/u][/h3] [i]"You know... nevermind."[/i] [indent][indent]Zoey has a nasty smoking habit... if she's not smoking a cigarette she's either run out, is in a nonsmoking building, or become a nun.[/indent][/indent] [/hider]
