Zoey (Left 4 Dead)

Zoey is one of the main characters from the Left 4 Dead series.
== Charactah Account ==
Zoey was a college student who spent all of her time watching zombie horror flicks instead of studying for her classes. When the zombie outbreak hit, she had the cold comfort knowing that all her knowledge on zombies would finally be put to use.  Appears to become the new leader of the team after Bill's death.
Zoey was pretty nice and sometimes openly joked about certain things in the first game, but by the sequel, she is very bitter or sometimes even angry at both groups of survivors if they are joking around or wasting time in The Passing.
Like Louis, Zoey is just a normal civilian, but can still kill zombies like no one's business. Her AI prefers the Hunting Rifle in the first game, and assault rifles in the second game's ported levels.

== Trivia ==
* The name "Zoey" is a variant from Zoe which means "life" in Greek. It was borne by two early Christian saints of the Byzantine and Roman Catholic Church.
* Although much shorter than Francis's 6'5, and possessing a petite physique, Zoey's combat skills are on par with the other Survivors.
* In the comic, Zoey is seen to be ambidextrous.
* Zoey has a healing animation that differs from the other Survivors. While they do the usual wrap around the arm and leg bandage, Zoey wraps the bandage around her arm and bites a piece off. She then reaches down and wraps her leg, pulling it tightly afterwards.
** Zoey also has a unique incapacitation animation.
* Zoey initially re-used Rochelle's animations when the original campaigns were ported over to Left 4 Dead 2, but eventually got her own ones back following sharp criticisms from the player base. Her animations underwent further improvement after the release of The Last Stand Community Update for the PC version of the game on September 24, 2020.
** Also, much-needed fixes to Zoey's character's talker scripts were rolled out by this update, fixing some of the most longstanding issues such as her saying "Anything for you, Louis!" upon being healed with a First Aid Kit by either Bill or Francis and her being silent upon sighting or obtaining a Golf Club.
** Furthermore, the update gave Zoey's model the attachments needed to display melee weapons on her backside whenever they are unequipped.
* Zoey is referred to as 'teenangst' in textures and 'teengirl' in sound resources.
* Zoey was picked by the 56% (and so, the most voted one) of Left 4 Dead 2 players who voted in Week 15's survey as "the thing you would pick to be beside you on a boat to an Infected free island".
* Zoey was picked by 34% of PC players and 28% of Xbox 360 players for Week 19's survey, "Whose back story are you most interested in?", earning 1st and 2nd place accordingly in comparison to the other Survivors and platform. Zoey also emerged as the favorite survivor amongst PC-playing survey participants and ranked second to Ellis as most favorite character with Xbox 360 playing respondents.
* Zoey's voice actor, Jen Taylor, gave her voice to Princess Peach and sometimes Toad from the Mario series. She is also known as Cortana and Dr. Halsey from the Halo series.
* Zoey's overall appearance is largely similar to that of Claire Redfield. A supporting character/protagonist from the survival horror video game series Resident Evil.
* One of Zoey's random nervous hummings strongly sounds similar to the Victory Fanfare from the Final Fantasy video game series.
