Zoe Connor

**Zoe Connor** is a character in Venture, and the main female character. She looks basically the same as Robert, which results in several people thinking Robert and her are twins, to their annoyance pretty much.

Because of her popularity, she has appeared in several video games, most notably Lethal Buckle.

## Personality

Zoe is caring and nice, yet mostly stubborn and sometimes hot-headed as she often argues with others. Zoe possess a lot of determination, always willing to finish something before going to the next step. She also hangs out with Robert and his brothers by vandalizing the D-Labs' property.

## Appearance

Zoe looks basically the same as Robert, as quoted by everyone. Zoe has brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly pale skin. Zoe wears a gray suit and brown tie, and a gray skirt.

## Moveset

Zoe knows some martial arts and for most of her life, she was self taught to her own style of combat. Her moves includes a mix of street fighting with Taekwondo, Kickboxing and Wrestling. She often uses kicks in her moveset, most notably her special moves, when it comes to ground fighting, she uses most her fast punches and while in the air, her aerial moveset is based on punching, odd for someone who kicks a lot.

Zoe is one of the few characters to have a unique moveset, where her medium punch is replaced with a two-hit kick, her forward high kick is a reverse back punch, her medium kick is a mix of a crouch kick followed with two hooks and and her light kick when close to her opponent changes into a quick gut punch.

### Pros

Zoe is one of the fastest characters in Lethal Buckle 3, she can decimate her opponent's blocks by raiding them with a barrage of strikes: her close light punch (elbow strikes) mixed with Lariat-2-Elbow Drop and Double Spinning Kick + Rolling Thunder can destroy an enemy's guard. Her fortes are speed, closing the gap and applying pressure on her enemies to break their guards. Her Forward + Light Punch's dashing low kick can easily confuse her enemies, can be even spammed and one of the best feints.

### Cons

She is however very weak due to her body's physique and lacks power knockback, making it hard to push back her enemies or pushing them into a cliff. Zoe has a very low health and bigger characters can destroy her with a few good hits. The Ranger, who is not even a "big character", can decimate Zoe with his combos.

### Normal Moves

* **Light Punch**: Zoe gives a quick jab, with quite a decent range. One of the fastest jabs in Lethal Buckle 3.
	+ **Light Punch (Close)**: Zoe strikes his opponent's face with a quick elbow strike. Faster than her jab but weaker in terms of damage and knockback. If close enough, she can give 3-4 elbow strikes.
	+ **Forward + Light** **Punch**: Zoe will do a small dash and performs a quick low kick in kick in her opponent's shins. By holding the button, she is able to cancel the low kick and can either dash forward or dash back, even dodging or blocking. Can be mixed with her real dashing, confusing her enemies.
	+ **Back + Light Punch**: Zoe gives a quick hook punch with her lead hand followed with a backfist with the same hand. Very fast to deploy, excellent starter strike to chain combos.
	+ **Up + Light Punch**: Performs an upper elbow strike, similar to her close light punch but upward. Although lacking range for anti-air attacks, it is widely better at juggling combos against mid-air opponents.
* **Medium Punch**: A two-hit stomach straight kick. She begins to hit her opponent with a straight kick, aiming at the stomach, then she pushes her enemy away in the same motion. Unusually slow for a medium hit due to the animation, good knockback and damage overall.
	+ **Medium Punch (Close)**: Performs a shovel hook in her opponent's liver, followed with a knee strike. Both attacks will temporary stun her enemy, as they will waddle away from pain.
	+ **Forward + Medium Punch**: Does a straight punch toward her enemy's face. Quicker than some medium attacks of other fighters, decent speed with decent damage.
* **High Punch**:

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Lightning Manipulation (Weak)**: Zoe learned the Lightning Combat Style, a combat sport based on the Furious Thunder Fist's techniques but heavily modified and modernized. During her training, she has to use manifest her inner energy into pure lightning and mixed it with her strikes. However, she left the Lightning Combat Style after an argument with her masters, leaving her training unfinished and capable to only use a few techniques, her rank was below the 80th place.

### Summary

While Zoe has not mastered the Lightning Combat Style at it's maximum potential

### Regular Techniques

* **Double Zaps**: Does a quick one-two combo enhanced with lightning element, which makes her strikes even more faster. Stronger electric variation of her regular 1-2 Zoe.
	+ **Triple Zaps**: Finishes her one-two combo with a stronger straight punch, as well even faster and a bit stronger than the first two punches.
* **Electric** **Chops**: Performs vertical and horizontally stunning strikes with the side of her hands, aiming at the neck, head, temples and softer parts of the opponent's body. Can be combined with faster chops when mashed quickly.

### Special Techniques

* **Rolling Thunder Kick**: She knows how to use Rolling Thunder Kick, yet she made her very own variant where she can do multiple kicks. She dubs it as the "**Zoe Thunder Kick**". One of Zoe's signature techniques, she managed to create her very own variants of the Rolling Thunder Kick.
	+ **Rising Thunder Kick**: In a similar fashion of the Rolling Thunder Kick, Zoe instead rises up in the air to strike her airborne enemies. Can launch her opponents very high in the air, good combo starter.
* **Thunder Palm**: Zoe quickly dashes toward her opponent, to give a palm strike to the body regions, filled with electricity. Because she rejected her training and remains unfinished, she is unable to knock her opponent but only enough to shock them enough so they cannot attack her, allowing her to do follow-up combos. The EX-version of Thunder Palm is the **Double Thunder Palm**, which can knock her opponents far away, can make them bounce of a wall as well.
* **Lightning Elbow Dash**: Zoe quickly dashes toward her enemy in a straight line, using her elbow to strike and aimed at the head. The enemy will stagger, leaving Zoe to perform more follow-ups.

* **Spinning** **Zoe** **Kicks**: One of Zoe's signature techniques, where she performs a roundhouse kick followed with another roundhouse kick, using the same leg the whole time. Very fast to roll out, does decent damage and good for following combos but has low knockback, not a good finisher either.
