## Description

Zoe is a young looking petite woman of slender build and lean muscle. Despite maintaining her attractive features, what once was a blossoming woman has hardened to take on a hungry, almost feral aura. Zoe has slightly luminescent violet eyes, each eyelid marked with four perfectly spaced silvery scratch marks, these along with other scarring around her face speak of past injury that she rarely speaks of.

Zoe sports multiple piercings, and only one noticeable tattoo across her forearm that reads in a simple script. "We are all born broken, that is how the light shines in."

## Personality

Those who have had a chance to watch the young woman for any length of time have commented that she rarely -acts- like a woman at all. Rather, despite her skittish, almost painfully shy nature, she can be caught watching others and observing her surroundings intently. Usually from one of the many animal forms she takes on regularly. Some might even say she's more beast than human at this point... if she was ever human to begin with.

Despite her nature, Zoe is known to be an artistic soul and has been caught drawing or playing her guitar on the lawns singing quietly to herself. She also spends time seemingly attending classes she finds interesting, but for whatever reason remains placed outside the standard Ravenswood curriculum.

## History

While Zoe's history before Ravenswood is only spoken about in hushed tones, Zoe has had one major incident since she began attending school.

Zoe. Key. Or as some students like to call her, Bob. Was once a Leng student that was a curious and powerful Oneriomancer. A dream witch.  She wanted nothing more than to explore new worlds and write cryptozoological reports. Except.... the first time she went off world, she took a fragment of an ancient civilization back with her and dreamed back into the races collective unconsciousness. This race had been affected by the Reaping... So as she dreamed of their past, she found herself stuck in the minds of the people as a great-old-one destroyed their civilization... and her in the process. The woman was pronounced brain dead even though her body remained in a coma-- but one day-- she woke back up.

Starting to walk and talk again... she was removed from classes and is no longer an 'official student' of the school... yet she still sits in on things.... still watches people and somehow the faculty seem to support her like any other. Some whisper that it wasn't -her- that came back... but something else now re-animates the husk of her remaining shell... others whisper that the teachers are worried she'll ignite the Reaping here on earth. The only thing that's widely agreed upon is that she shouldn't have survived... and even though she 'looks' and sometimes even 'acts' human... others can't help wonder if she isn't something else.

## Roleplay Hooks

* Zoe is intrinsically tied to the Dreamlands and seems to have a powerful connection to it, plots related to visiting the Dreamlands, or dreams in general are likely to garner her attention and support.
* Zoe has been rumored to have a powerful form of prophecy she calls 'The Knowing' which allows her to catch brief flashes of information about others... especially if they are private or otherwise she would have no way of having known. ((This is a plot device to allow others to introduce bits of their backgrounds that are difficult or tricky to bring up in play. Have some dark secret? Or some hidden pain? Feel free to let me know in private and Zoe can bring it up IC!))
* Zoe's major before 'the incident' was geared towards the exploration of new worlds. Conjuration focused, she has been known to open portals with ease that even some professors are likely to have trouble with. Exploration of new worlds, visiting never-before-seen places and liberating ~~looting~~ tombs are easy ways to catch her interest.

## Relationships

Here you can place a list and commentary with your character's thoughts and opinions on others.

* ***Rhys "Alpha" Salem*** - When the 'incident' occurred, when Zoe returned she claimed it was only via the 'silver thread'. It was later discovered that this was due to an oath sworn between the two women for Zoe to 'always return to her side'. Her girlfriend and lover, Rhys is easily one of largest influences in Zoe's life.
* ***Wolfgang "Wolf" Jones*** - Wolf was Zoe's old roommate when she first entered Ravenswood as a member of House Leng. Both having familiarity with the Plateau of Leng, they spent many hours dreaming shared dreams together and developed a close-knit friendship because of it. Many have speculated they were romantically involved, though the nature of their relationship hasn't seemingly been defined other than that, when Zoe was in trouble, Wolf is usually the first person to show up.
* ***Dean Whateley*** - As curious as it might be, Zoe seems to have some sort of implied connection or understanding with the Dean of Ravenswood Academy. Having been seen perched on her shoulder many times in the form of a Raven. Both her and Rhys have been spotted at one time or another delivering packages to her office. Whatever the connection is, Zoe has more than once been spotted worrying about the Deans health and been sent on errands on her behalf.
