In season 4, she receives the Bee Miraculous from Ladybug, which, when inhabited by the kwami, Pollen, can transform her into Vesperia, a bee-themed superhero, succeeded her half-sister, Chloé Bourgeois, who was the former Bee Miraculous holder until she betrayed the French Miraculous Superhero Team by teaming up with Hawk Moth and Mayura.

==Overview==
Zoé is Chloé's half-sister from Audrey's side. She is an artistic young lady and aspiring actress from New York who came to Paris in order to live with her maternal family.
In "Queen Banana", she puts herself in harm's way to talk her sister down when latter becomes the titular villain. Impressed by her courage, she is given the Bee Miraculous by Ladybug, allowing her to transform into the new Bee heroine, Vesperia.
In "Transmission (The Kwami's Chioce Part 1)" she receives the Cat Miraculous due to Plagg feeling bad that the miraculous are getting in the way of possible romance with Marinette and transforms in the cat-themed superhero known as Kitty Noire.
==Appearance==
===Physical appearance===
Zoé has blonde hair with hot-pink bangs on the left side, vivid azure eyes (similar to Marinette's) and light scarlet lips. She also has small freckles. In "Sole Crusher", Zoé's hair strand was originally undyed but she gets it dyed later in the episode by Rose and Juleka.
===Attire===
She wears a black leather jacket, a white t-shirt with a pink, cyan and yellow honeycomb flower on the front, and yellow sport jeans. On her feet, her sneakers have white shoelaces, toe caps, and soles. The sides of her sneakers are decorated with blue, lime-green, and pink heart patterns with black outlines. There's a moderate apple green crown on the left side of her left sneakers and a white skull on the left side of her right sneakers. The midsole of the shoes seem to be decorated with different drawings that appeared to be drawn with a black permanent marker. The left shoe has a red heart drawn on the toe cap that reads "I ❤️ U". At the end of "Sole Crusher", her sneakers get more drawings from her new friends. She also wears a black bracelet on her left wrist and a luminous vivid opal-colored beanie on her head.

Kitty Noire 
"TBA"
==Personality==
Zoé is a sweet girl and she can be very caring to everyone that crosses her way, being even able to make friends with someone she has just met, like Marinette Dupain-Cheng. She is also very forgiving, showing this in Sole Crusher, after Marinette trips and falls on her. Zoé is also very generous, as she gave to the taxi driver that took her to Le Grand Paris the baking goods that Marinette gave her, after hearing from her how her children love them. She is also shown to be creative, shown to dye her hair and customize her own shoes.
Her greatest dream is to become an actress, and she is very skilled at doing so. However, because she was constantly acting a role, much like Lila Rossi and her lies, Zoé ended up concealing her true self and, when she was not able to do it anymore, she ended up having no friends back in New York. After moving to Paris to live with her maternal family, she pretends to be like her mother and half-sister in order to please them and be accepted by them. She also wants to fit in, which is why she is always acting. After being deakumatized, she learned that the way she was acting was wrong, and decided to finally stop hiding her true self.
In "Queen Banana", at first she was hesitant in taking the Bee Miraculous knowing how Chloé would react but Ladybug reassures that she'll keep her identity a secret. As Vesperia, most of Zoé's personality remains the same and she's proven to be very clever using her acting skills that led to her sister's downfall. She can also act in a flashy way, similar to Queen Bee, but always showing a much humbler side. According to Plagg, she is more refined, sweeter and nicer than Chloé. She had to have it because Chloé had revealed her identity.
As Sole Crusher, she is much more confident and refuses to let others boss her around. However, she is still willing to please Chloé, as she considers crushing Kitty Section just to be like her. Despite her villainous nature, she does still care for Marinette by carrying her in her hand rather than absorbing her, because she remembers her kindness, and is almost willing to stand down when the latter tries to reason with her.
==Powers and abilities==
===As a civilian===
Zoé is very good at acting. In fact, she is so good she can convince others she possesses a much different personality than the one she truly has, as she was able to convince her mother and half-sister she was just like them. In the episode Queen Banana, a scene from a movie shows her skillfully wielding a toy sword demonstrating that she has good fencing skills.
===As Vesperia===
Zoé, as Vesperia, has the same abilities as the most recent Bee Miraculous holder, Chloé. She has enhanced physical characteristics such as speed, strength, and agility. She also has the superpower Venom, enabling her to immobilize her opponents.

==Trivia==
*Her name, Zoé, rhymes with the name of her half-sister, Chloé. Also, she looks similar to the latter as both have blonde hair and blue eyes, but unlike the latter, she does not wear an eyeshadow and she looks younger and more innocent in comparison to Chloé, hinting that she might be Audrey's younger daughter. Also, unlike Chloé, she has a pink streak in her hair. Also, both are holders of the Bee Miraculous (with Zoé being mistakenly referred to as Queen Bee by Cat Noir before she corrected him), but unlike Chloé, Zoé is a straightforwardly good superheroine who did her best to help Ladybug (mainly in Queen Banana, where she became Vesperia to save Chloé and have her de-akumatized).
*Zoé Lee is the ninth person to become a Miraculous holder who was also an Akumatized villain, following Nino Lahiffe in "The Bubbler", Alya Césaire in "Lady Wifi", Lê Chiến Kim in "Dark Cupid", Alix Kubdel in "Timerbreaker", Max Kanté in "Gamer", Chloé Bourgeois in "Antibug", Rose Lavillant in "Princess Fragrance", Kagami Tsurugi in "Riposte", and Luka Couffaine in "Silencer", but excluding Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth, who Akumatized himself in "The Collector" into the titular villain.
*She shares her English voice actress with two fellow kwamis, Kaalki and Mullo.
*Zoé Lee is the first Miraculous holder to be from Ms. Mendeleiev's class.
*She is the third person to use the Cat Miraculous following Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupan-Cheng in "Reflekdoll".
