[b]Description:[/b]
[indent]Zoey Gray is loud in every way that matters—loud voice, loud laugh, loud presence. You always notice her because silence doesn’t last long when she's near. She speaks quickly, moves vigorously, and dives into things without hesitation, as if she can’t process doubt. Zoey grew up in Cornell feeling stuck, like most kids, but while others hardened, she shone brighter. She deflects instead of shutting down, jokes instead of folding, and pushes forward even when she should stop. That makes her fun but also reckless. She’s part of the so-called "Terrible Trio" with Claire O’Sullivan and June Summers, a name that's partly a joke, partly a warning. Zoey embraces it as a badge of honor, proof they matter. At the core of it all is Claire.

Zoey doesn’t just admire her—she fixates on her. Claire embodies everything Zoey thinks she isn’t: controlled, fearless, untouchable. Zoey mirrors her, supports her, and follows her into situations she shouldn’t survive. She calls it loyalty, but it's more than that. Zoey was at the warehouse the night everything fell apart, close enough to see and [i]feel[/i] it. When the attack began, Zoey didn’t run at first. She stayed because Claire was there. Leaving wasn’t an option if it meant leaving her. That choice nearly got her killed.

Her Kindling Event struck suddenly—no warning. A violent surge tore through her as something inside ignited. Zoey doesn’t discuss that part directly. Yet, everything she does now revolves around it. She’s no longer just following Claire—she’s trying to become someone who can truly stand beside her.[/indent]

[b]Abstraction:[/B]
Adept - [i]Red Lux[/i]  
[indent][b]Electromancy:[/b] Zoey emits volatile electrical energy from her body, but her control over it is still developing and varies with her emotional state. When she feels excited, angry, or scared, her electricity appears as flickering, uneven arcs along her skin and between her hands. She often releases this energy in rapid, unpredictable lightning bursts that hit hard but are inaccurate, frequently arcing to nearby conductive surfaces like metal or water, which poses a danger to everyone nearby, including herself. Zoey is learning to build and hold a charge to make her next release stronger, but she struggles to maintain it. Her body tenses, her hands twitch, and her thoughts scatter until she releases the energy. Longer charging times tend to produce more unstable and explosive results. Occasionally, she can control smaller currents, overload electronics, or deliver controlled shocks—though these moments are inconsistent and require focus she doesn’t reliably sustain. Sometimes, her electromancy stabilizes briefly, allowing for more precise control, but these instances are rare, hard to replicate, and show the hidden potential she has yet to fully understand and master.[/indent]
