== Early Life ==
Brooks was born into a tumultuous household. Her father abandoned her family upon her birth, leading to her living between Brooklyn with her mother and Liverpool, Pennsylvania, where her grandparents lived. Brooks was heavily dependent on her sister from a young age, who was involved in street crime through most of Brooks' childhood. Her mother worked long hours most days of the week.
When Brooks was 11, her sister, who had by then strayed away from crime and towards responsibility, took her younger sister and left to their grandparents house in Liverpool. Harper Brooks correctly predicted that New York City would be a hotspot for the newly spreading Jinanvirus. Later in 2017, Brooks, her sister, and their grandparents contracted the Jinanvirus. The siblings were without critical symptoms, but their grandparents died from the illness. The siblings were forced to go on without any help at the house family's house. By this time, Brooks began to look at her older sister as a sort of mother-figure.
In early 2018 as the two's supplies dwindled, Harper Brooks' former boyfriend Ethan Delansky visited to their surprise, along with a gang of his members, including Kyle Wald, who suffered from amnesia. Delansky had no intention of harming Zoe Brooks, and was somewhat protective of her. He only intended to stay as long as needed to avenge his late friend Jayson Payne. While the gang was staying at their house, David Cook, the eldest of the group, tried to rape Brooks. This was interrupted by Kyle Wald, who attacked and killed Cook. Wald made the demand that the group leave the Brooks residence at once, to which Delansky surprisingly conceded.
Zoe Brooks and her older sister struggled for nearly half a year after that to survive, learning to forage through the spring and summer.
