Vanexa Pierce

**Vanexa Pierce** (or **Vanex**) is one of the ZPA students, a member of The Main Five and a main character in *Zoophobia*.

## Appearance

Vanexa is a light purple cat with a dark purple tail tip and black edges to her cheeks. Her eyes are bright yellow with only purple visible and no Iris.

In the short Bad Luck Jack, the black and white of her cheeks and ear tips has been expanded. She has dark purple on her eyelids with a light purple area under them with thicker black lines (possibly eyeliner) around her eyes. Her tail tip is a far more darker purple with a single purple stripe. Her chest and the underside of her tail have a white patch and her fingers and toe tips are now white. Her wrist, ankles, lower arms and legs are now the same dark purple as the tip of her tail.

## Personality

Vanexa is not one to talk much, often reading a book regardless of the situation. When she does speak (with or without prompting) she tends to be pretty short and to the point. Outwardly, Vanexa is apathetic and cold towards others. Despite this attitude, however, she is friendly as she tells Cameron to enjoy her stay and helps put Jack together in Bad Luck Jack.

## Relationships

### Spam

Of all the members of the Main Five, Spam is the one Vanexa spends the most time with, while ironically the one she finds most annoying and intolerable among her friends. Spam enjoyed annoying Vanexa at inopportune and unexpected moments, probably due to the fact that Spam just wants Vanexa to open up more. Vanexa questions his need to write a song for every situation, even though she agrees with him about who their other friends are.

### Jack

While she doesn't talk much with Jack, Vanexa considers Jack to be the most tolerable out of her friends in the Main Five. Along with the rest of her friends Vanexa won't hesitate to save Jack from danger such as when she helped scare a monster that was about to eat him.

### Kayla

Like with the other members of the Main Five, Vanexa doesn't talk much to Kayla but is still willing to spend quality time with her though Vanexa does admit that she doesn't understand Kayla's Australian Slang yet she is still willing to follow her lead.

### Zill

Even though Zill is the friend Vanexa talks to the least, she is fine with having his company and both of them are willing to fight for their friends. Both of them also agree that Jack is the easiest to get along with out of the Main Five.

## Abilities

* **Eye Glare**: Vanexa possesses a terror-inducing glare that can instill intense fear in anyone who makes eye contact when she uses it. She used this ability during the Original Five's battle with the monster while Spam sang "Monster Fighting Time”

## Trivia

* Along with Jack, Spam, Zillion, and Kayla, Vanexa is one of Vivienne's "Original Five" characters she created upon the early origins of Zoophobia's creation.
* In the very early days of Zoophobia, she was often portrayed as the cynical yet psychotic. She was similar to Gaz Membrane from *Invader Zim*.
* Vanexa bears some similarities to Raven from the 2003 *Teen Titans* animated series. Both are very quiet, have a strong passion for reading and their colors are close to purple. The relationship between Vanexa and Spam resembles the relationship between Raven and Beast Boy.
