Zoey is one of the main characters in the Pivot Zombie Series and was introduced in the third episode along with her boyfriend Nick and the rest of The Survivors in a cabin. She and Nick had already held up in the cabin before Vince, Gary, Jane and Mark got there. Zoey and Nick allowed them to stay in the cabin with them. Zoey and Jane got along well while Nick had respect for Gary and Vince after hearing about their military service. However Mark and Nick did not get along after Nick thought he saw Mark flirting with Zoey, they got into a brief fight that was broken up by Vince. Zoey was sometimes scared of Nick but she was very upset when he was killed by Rob and Craig after he tried to kill them. She likes everybody in the group but is not on great terms with Rob.

## Full Character Story

Before the outbreak, she was studying to become a vet. On the day of the outbreak, she was walking on a street and was heading back to her home after she had finished all the lessons in her university. She then saw a horde of panicky people running to her and shouting in the street. They then passed her and she was in bewilderment as she didn't know why the people were petrified. She was then astonished by what happened in front of her. She found that two people were lying on the street with horrendous injuries and a man was devouring another guy. She ran away from that street and called Nick on her phone for help. She told Nick what she had seen and he said that he also saw the same kind of scenes on other streets. They couldn't go back to their apartment since the roads to their homes had been blocked and the area where they lived was being quarantined.

Zoey and Nick then assembled in a convenience store. They bought a lot of food and drinks there. They thought the government authority would not save them. Thus, they carried those necessities and left the city to find a safer place in the countryside. After several hours, they discovered a cabin that was vacant. They thought the residents who lived in the cabin had taken all the supplies there. However, it didn't matter since they could put their necessities there. There were some water supplies just like a well which was next to the cabin. They kept staying there and met Vince, Gary, Jane and Mark when the four people discovered the cabin. The Cabin was also the place where Craig and Rob found all of them in Vulnerable (Episode 3).

The relationship between Zoey and Rob was nice and budding at the beginning. In Vulnerable (Episode 3), Rob helped Zoey put a box of supplies into a truck when they just met each other. Zoey then started a conversation with Rob and he introduced himself and Craig. Nevertheless, their conversation didn't last long since Nick came to them and didn't approve of Rob's admission. Then, Rob got hit by Nick, who used to have a fight with Mark when he flirted with Zoey in the past when they were in the cabin, blamed Vince for allowing more people to join them and didn't like Rob talking to Zoey. Zoey then felt sorry for Rob since she didn't expect his boyfriend's violent behaviour.

In Execution (Episode 4), Zoey cooperated with the team to take over the Winston Military Base. She then checked out the vehicles with Jane and didn't pay much attention to Nick. After that, Rob killed Nick in self-defence to prevent Craig from being abused. Zoey felt distraught about Nick's death and realised Rob did it. Though Rob and Vince explained it was necessary to kill Nick , Zoey still felt unhappy with what Rob did as she didn't expect her boyfriend to die suddenly and without leaving any words to her. She seldom talked to the team and seemed to isolate herself from the team for a short span since that event.

Jane and Mark then came across David in Complications (Episode 5) and they decided to let David enter the base. Zoey was inside the base at that time and she was informed that David was a survivor whose arm was injured. Zoey didn't think David was a hostile survivor and she healed his injured arm out of kindness and sympathy. Zoey also welcomed the admission of David.

When the Survivors group found that Gary was caught by the bandits in Heroes (Episode 6), they decided to rescue Gary and discussed who wanted to join the rescue. Zoey couldn't stand the base alone and felt insecure. Thus, she decided to follow the team to rescue Gary and arrive at the bandit compound. They then found Gary. Zoey helped Craig monitor the other side of building in Rescue (Episode 7) after he had gone to check out their exit since the team was heading back to their military base and Craig had to make sure the exit was safe for all of them to leave. After the team came back to the base, Zoey took some rest and slept immediately.

Until the death of Gary took place in Conflict (Episode 9), Zoey realised that the team was pulling their weight to protect her but not only caring about themselves. This could be seen when the team tried to cover her when the bandits attacked the base and she could finally get into the truck safely under the protection of the team.She knew that the team had come across the toughest incident of which they had never thought. Zoey didn't think much of it and kept following the team to Coalworth Town Centre. They then settled in a shop for a while. She didn't feel shocked to see Vince fight with David since Gary was the closest friend of Vince and he would not be able to control his anger towards David, who drove off the truck and left Gary behind. However, Zoey still had faith in the team even though she knew Gary's demise undermined the morale and power of the team. She approved of the decision of going to the bunkers though the nearest one was miles away.

She was more willing to talk to the group in Stricken (Episode 10) though she still had little reservation about how the team justified killing his boyfriend in the past. She told Vince she didn't like staying in the city and Vince saw eye to eye with her. After that, She informed Vince that the team had already run out of petrol when the truck couldn't proceed down a country road. She told the team about what she was studying before the apocalypse and merged with them by conversations while Craig, Vince, David and Mark went to take more petrol. Later, she implied that Vince's plan of splitting the team up was bad for them after she was threatened by some raiders alongside Rob, Jane and Rachel. This reminded Vince that the group must stay close to each other so as to be strong and have a higher ability to look after each other. Zoey looked forward to arriving at bunker 08 since it was the place where she and the team could take a rest and live safely.

Nonetheless, it didn't come true in Nightmare (Episode 11) when the team discovered Bunker 08 had been abandoned. She felt disappointed as it would take them more days to arrive at the nearest bunker. She kept following the team to go to bunker 03. After four days of travelling, she and the team arrived at a front road which was blocked by several barriers. Eventually, she started to lose her grudge against Rob and begin a new friendship with Rob. She helped Rob search the C.C.R stuff for some weapons without hesitation. They then saw a landmine set by the C.C.R. Not knowing whether the beeping sound was a signal of danger, Zoey went to check out the computer near the landmine and triggered the landmine accidentally. After Rob had realised the landmine was going to explode and tried to pull Zoey away from it, it exploded. Zoey perished in the explosion of the landmine, being blown in half, while Rob lost his arm and died due to blood loss. Though their last conversation was not perpetuated long just like their first conversation, it was possibly seen that their relationship got better.

In Icarus (Episode 18), she was one of the people who showed up in Craig's dream sequence. While Craig felt guilty about not showing much care to Zoey after Nick's death back in the past, Zoey reassured him that it was difficult for the team to include her due to the fact that she shut them out and it was not Craig or Rob's entire fault in causing her isolation from the team. She also responded to Craig that if there were another life, she would try to adjust her aloof personality to build connections with the team.

Her demise, followed by Rob's demise, acted as one of the catalysts which prompted Craig, Vince, David and Mark to have an unwavering determination to get rid of the people in C.C.R. Moreover, their deaths were double blows to the group.

Zoey got along well with Vince. She was always receptive to listen to his requests on helping the team. Furthermore, she paid much attention to the situation of the group and inquired Vince about some information or situations of the team. Vince was willing to answer her questions about the team. She was considered to be a good teammate in supporting the team and was memorized by the team after her demise.

## Personality

Zoey was seen to be a compassionate, selfless and generous person who allowed new survivors to stay with her and Nick. For example, she permitted Vince, Gary, Jane and Mark to rest in the cabin. Moreover, she welcomed the admission of Craig and Rob in Vulnerable (Episode 3). When Nick hit Rob, Zoey felt sympathetic about Rob and she was angry with Nick for his misbehaviour. She also felt bad about killing people and she would avoid it by escaping from people who were going to attack her.

Zoey was a caring person. She always cared about the safety of the team, especially when they went outside the base for a supply run. This showed that she did not only cared about herself but also the team she had been living with. Also, she would like to help every people in her team who were injured by giving them some proper medical treatment.

Zoey became quiet, aloof and seldom joined the conversation struck up by the group after Rob killed Nick. She was seen to dwell on the past for a while after the demise of Nick. However, this changed when she reckoned the group was trustworthy and they could keep her safe. She started to talk to the group, especially Vince and Rob. She also offered a helping hand to Rob without being passive.

She was cooperative to work with the team. For instance, she joined the operation of rescuing Gary from the bandits. She also helped the team replenish oil into a truck's petrol tank in Conflict (Episode 9). She always listened to the orders given by Vince and would not do anything in an overbearing manner to object to the orders or decisions made by the team. Living under this apocalypse, she was always ready to strive for another day.

Zoey was also a calm person and would not be impulsive when she faced any threats or attacks. When she confronted the threats from the bandits or raiders, she still kept being calm and would not trigger or intensify any fights or conflicts between the Survivors group and other groups of enemies since she knew if she stood out to attack or scold the enemies, it would put the group's lives in danger and she could get killed.

Zoey was sometimes emotional when she realised that she and her teammates were in peril or her loved one was dead. However, she was tough enough to keep staying alive even though she had some negative feelings. She would like to forget the grieving past when she decided to count on the team and team up with them.

Zoey was also seen to be a down-to-earth person. She told Vince to leave Coalworth Town Centre as it was less safe to stay in the city instead of the suburbs since the city had a high-density population and there were a larger number of zombies in it. Vince agreed with what she said. Furthermore, she did know what Nick did was very wrong and she accepted the reasonable fact that Rob killed Nick in self-defence eventually after the death of Nick.

Overall, Zoey was a sentimental person. She is also one of the characters whose emotions are intricate in the series.

## Appearance and Equipment

Zoey is a pink stickwoman who has a light weight and the longest hair in the series. She doesn't look very tall in the team. Her eyebrows are almost covered by her front hair. Hardly do people see her smile, since she is a serious person who is always concerned about her safety and deeply hopes someone to protect her.

Zoey is seen to have very little equipment. She used to use a GK417 or a P250 pistol. She usually held her gun without firing it casually and she would fire her gun if she needed to in order to protect herself and her teammates.

## Relationships

### Rob

Zoey and Rob's relationship was overall fluctuating. They first met each other at a cabin in Vulnerable (Episode 3). Rob gave a helping hand to Zoey and she reckoned he was a helpful person. Moreover, Zoey thought Rob would have starved to death if she had not let him join the group.
At that time, she was ready to develop a good friendship with Rob.

Nevertheless, Rob gave a bad image to Zoey after he killed Nick in self-defense. Their relationship then deteriorated. Zoey was reluctant to talk to Rob and had a long period of time to calm herself down. Rob sometimes felt guilty and embarrassed when he came across Zoey every day after the demise of Nick.

When Rob helped the team escape from the bandits in Conflict (Episode 9) , Zoey realized that he and the team tried to pull their weight to guarantee her safety. She then started to forget what Rob had done and interacted with the group more motivatedly. Zoey lost her grudges against Rob and wanted to help Rob lift his burden without hesitation as observed in Nightmare (Episode 11). Rob also paid much attention to Zoey's safety when they were around a C.C.R landmine and tried to pull her back from the landmine without considering he would be blown too. Even though they died in an explosion of C.C.R's landmine, it is clearly seen that their relationship improved.

### Vince

Vince had a good relationship with Zoey. She was willing to accept any order given by Vince since he did well on leading the team in a beneficial way. Vince looked after Zoey well and paid much attention to what she really needed or her feelings. Vince could also make a self-reflection when Zoey expressed her opinions to him. He would try to make sure whether his decisions or ideas would bring an adverse effect to the team and tried to avert them.

Zoey didn't hate Vince even when he helped Rob and Craig explain the death of Nick. She and the others helped Vince rescue Gary in episode 6 which meant a lot to Vince. After Zoey's demise took place, Vince avenged her and killed the C.C.R Cropford Lieutenant without any hesitation in Vendetta (Episode 12).

### Nick

Zoey had a strong relationship with Nick since he was her boyfriend and was strong enough to protect her. However, Zoey felt exasperated with how to prevent Nick from intimidating the others. She felt distraught when he was dead and needed some time to cool herself.

### Jane

Jane was the first female to stay with her in the group. They got along well since Zoey worked with Jane in the team more frequently than the men. When the team got split up in episode 10, it was clearly seen that Zoey and Rachel felt confident about Jane taking charge of protecting them. Jane felt shocked when Zoey died since she didn't expect her to die in that way and she felt like she lost an old friend.

### Mark

Mark was seen to have a good relationship with Zoey since he used to flirt with Zoey and it was found by Nick, who then had a fight with him. Ultimately, the fight was ceased by Vince. Zoey felt sorry for Mark since she didn't want him to get beaten hard by Nick because of approaching her. After Nick died, Mark attempted to get closer to Zoey. It was clearly seen that he cared much about Zoey when Zoey perished in an explosion of C.C.R's landmine since he was the first person who ran to take a look at Zoey.

### Craig

Overall, Zoey and Craig had a good relationship even though they seldom talked to each other directly and he sided with Rob to kill Nick. Craig mentioned Zoey in Stricken (Episode 10) that she was not the type he would have a romance with and only treated her as a teammate. He also had a strong determination to avenge her and got rid of the C.C.R's people after she was killed by the C.C.R's landmine. Moreover, he showed his guilt about neglecting her after Nick's death in his dream sequence in Icarus (Episode 18). However, Zoey did not blame him for that and answered that she should not spend a large amount of time in dwelling on the past. This displayed that Zoey would like to improve the friendship with the team including Craig.

### Gary

Zoey and Gary had a decent relationship. Though it started off a bit rocky when Gary and Vince knocked out her boyfriend Nick for attacking Mark, Zoey liked having Gary as one of the people in charge and knew he was strong after he survived his capture from the bandits. One of Vince and Gary's top priorities was protecting Zoey since she was the member of the group who partook in combat the least. They succeed in doing this in Conflict (Episode 9) when the bandits came to attack by getting her into the truck first, but as we know Gary did not survive this encounter.

Zoey was upset at the death of Gary and knew that the group would be weaker because of it.

### David

Zoey and David had a nice relationship. Though they seldom talked to each other, they were still working for the team dedicatedly. When Zoey heard David for the first time, she and Jane were on the same page and didn't reject the idea of letting David join the team. When Zoey and Rob were killed by the C.C.R's landmine, David felt sympathetic about Zoey and Rob's demises. He thought she and Rob didn't deserve to die.

### Danny

Zoey didn't know much about Danny since they had little time to communicate with each other and Danny was killed in Conflict (Episode 9). Though they didn't talk much to each other, Danny did teach Zoey how to replenish oil to a truck in a faster way and Zoey learnt it from him. Overall, they had a decent relationship.

### Rachel

Zoey got along well with Rachel since they shared common topics of studying in universities. Zoey informed Rachel the team was having a hard time when Rachel first met the team. Rachel was then willing to talk to her and others when she became a member of the team. Rachel felt sad and sympathy when Zoey died since she didn't expect a good person to have her life ended by C.C.R.

### Bandit Leader

Zoey only came face to face with the bandit leader in Conflict (Episode 9) when he arrived at the base to take away Craig, Rob, Gary and David. She was forced to drop her weapon and get onto her knees along with the others, which she complied with quickly out of fear. She was even more scared of him when he punched Gary, but she felt glad that Vince never knelt to him. In her eyes that made the bandit leader seem like someone they could handle, and moments later they had to when Rob launched a surprise attack against the bandits.

Frightened by the combat, Zoey ran to the truck and only saw the bandit leader again, for the last time, when he executed Gary in front of them. Zoey despised the bandit leader and initially thought of him as a large threat, but later on as just a coward who couldn't win a fair fight.

### Lawrence

Zoey confronted Lawrence and his fellow raiders alongside Jane, Rachel and Rob. She felt exasperated with the situation that the raiders were going to loot their supplies and even tried to rape her and the other two girls. She had a hatred of those raiders since they were hostile and hit Jane badly. She deeply hoped those raiders to be beaten by Vince and the other three guys.

## Death

While travelling on the road to Bunker 03, Zoey attempts to search through what looks like a C.C.R weapons cache, but it turns out that there are landmines on the ground there. Rob notices this before Zoey does and runs forward to attempt to pull her away but they are both caught in the blast. Zoey dies on impact and Rob's arm is blown off and fragments of shrapnel and concrete are lodged into his spine.

Craig, Vince, David and Mark give her and Rob a proper burial after their deaths.

Zoey survived for 19 days in the apocalypse and was in the series for 9 episodes.
