Zoey Bent

**Zoey Bent** is a former student of Bogwick Academy and a presumed citizen of Nettlebrook.

## History

Zoey is alleged to have lived with her poverty-stricken mother in a trailer on the outskirts of town. Her mother is also alleged to be addicted to narcotics. Zoey's best friend (and possibly lover) was Alexa Wick, daughter of the Headmaster of Bogwick Academy.

### Bogwick Academy

Zoey was crowned Homecoming Queen of Bogwick Academy twice in a row, much to the ire of Abigail Hale, daughter of the mayor and another candidate for Homecoming Queen. Zoey was also alleged to have seduced the boyfriends of McKenna Worthington, Abigail and Kayli. This has led to her ostracization by the Fallen Angels group.

### Disappearance

Zoey disappeared in late April near the end of her senior year at Bogwick Academy at the age of 18, but was only ruled a "runaway" by the Nettlebrook police, despite a lack of evidence.

## Appearances

### *What is Happening in Nettlebrook?*

*Main article:* Zoey Bent *(article)*

On July 17, 2019, Hunter Holloway posted the article *Zoey Bent* on his blog *What is Happening in Nettlebrook?*, in which he talks about Zoey's disappearance and his investigations into it. He mentions that her case is one of many, and calls the actions of the police "suspicious".

### Instagram

*Main article: Cipher Instagram*

Zoey's Instagram account is presumed to be 16.18.15.22.5.9.20, The account uses a A1Z26 Cypher and has changed its name several times with the current cypher is "Prove It" . This account provided the link to an unlisted video on a mysterious YouTube channel (see below).

### Tumblr

*Main Article: Bent Into Shape*

Zoey's Tumblr account can be found under bent-into-shape.com. Her posts often involve themes of horror and monsters. One of her posts featured the message "MEET ME EVIL HOUSE", after which Alexa posts a reply and a picture of a dilapidated house on her Instagram.

*Main article: KEEPONDIGGING*

A YouTube channel with the name "11 5 5 16 15 14 4 9 7 7 9 14 7" (translated to "KEEPONDIGGING") appears to be related to Zoey in some way, sharing several common themes with other accounts linked to Zoey and even having the same profile picture as her Tumblr account.

All uploads on this channel are unlisted and can only be seen if the link is provided.

### Zipper Films

A mysterious figure that is often believed to be Zoey appears in the background of the Zipper Films video *bog vlog 1*, which is then analyzed again in *Ghost caught on camera?*, although the appearance is later called a "hoax" by Carmen Gonzalez in her video *the truth*.

### Echo Rose

Echo Rose mentions seeing and feeling a presence (also believed to be Zoey) in her Instagram Livestream and the video *Seance in Nettlebrook Woods*.

## Personality

Zoey has a reputation of promiscuity, being accused of seducing multiple boys who were dating girls in her school, and, more scandalously, a teacher at Bogwick Academy, Mr. Philips. She has also on numerous occasions made references to her "sugar daddy" on her Tumblr. While Zoey seems to have been using this person for unknown benefits at first, the relationship seems to have quickly become possessive and controlling.

Zoey has allegedly been witnessed engaging in partying and underage drinking at Brooks College and Nettlebrook University.

## Relationships

### Alexa Wick

Zoey and Alexa shared a very close friendship and were most likely lovers, although it is frequently insinuated that their relationship was not monogamous.

Both girls were frequently seen attending college parties and drinking together. In addition, the girls apparently made an effort to keep their romantic relationship hidden from their classmates, but frequently allude to their affair and share romantic messages online, mostly through Tumblr and Instagram.

It appears that Alexa knows about and might even be pressured to assist in a possible revenge plan orchestrated by Zoey. For instance, a cryptic Instagram account, which is likely related to Zoey, frequently changes its name to convey hidden messages. Some of the Tumblr posts Zoey has made since her disappearance can be decoded in a similar manner. Alexa, in turn, posts vague statements to her Instagram that can be interpreted as replies to Zoey.

### McKenna Worthington

according to Bogwickelite, McKenna used Zoey as a "scapegoat" to hide her affair with Drew Harris. Zoey has not commented on this as of this point.

### Kayli

As can be seen from her comments on the Nettlebrook Fallen Angels account, Kayli used to like Zoey a lot and even defended her from her harassers. Since Zoey's disappearance, she has given up on making positive remarks about her, likely because she considers it pointless now and does not want to present herself as another target.

### Abigail Hale

Abigail Hale is Zoey's polar opposite, at least on the outside. A devout Christian and unashamed snob with strict upbringing, Abbi hates everything Zoey represents, especially since the latter was accused of having an affair with Abbi's boyfriend. It is also likely that Abbi is jealous of Zoey's freedom, since Zoey never feels pressured to keep up appearances and cares little what other people think about her.

## References to the Occult

In the days leading up to her disappearance, and even afterwards, Zoey's Tumblr blog kept making allusions to her own decay and seemed to hint at a plan to control plants and nature to destroy her enemies.

Despite these ominous hints at an occult plan, Zoey also wrote numerous messages to her "love" (most likely Alexa Wick), claiming to love her, and promising her return.
