## History

Zoé Lee is the daughter of Audrey Bourgeois and Mr. Lee. She attended a boarding school in New York where she only had one friend.

In "Sole Crusher", she moved to Paris to live with her maternal family. She met Marinette Dupain-Cheng in the bakery and became friends with her. When she arrived at the hotel where her maternal family lived, she was brought to Audrey, her mother.

Zoé pretended to be like Audrey so that she would be accepted. Then, she was brought to Chloé's room, where she was examined by Chloé. Zoé pretended to be mean and selfish to be accepted into her maternal family. Chloé showed Zoé a pair of diamond shoes and said Zoé had to earn them.

At school, she threatened Mr. Damocles, saying she would call her stepfather, the mayor, frightening Mr. Damocles who put her in Ms. Mendeleiev's class.

When she went home after school, Chloé suggested putting cockroaches in Marinette's locker, which made Zoé feel ill. She went to the balcony, saying she wanted to see the diamonds sparkle in the sunlight. Zoé broke down and started crying. André Bourgeois came and comforted her. Shadow Moth then sensed her emotions and akumatized her.

While she was akumatized, Marinette tried to reason with Sole Crusher who listened until Shadow Moth threatened to take away her power.

After Zoé was de-akumatized, Chloé demanded Zoé to go back to New York. André Bourgeois gave Zoé a new room far away from Chloé's room instead.

She apologized to Kitty Section and explained that she just wanted to be accepted. She made friends with Kitty Section and even dyed her bangs pink.

In "Queen Banana", she played the lead role "Kreatica" in the class movie "Kreatica", but she gave up her role for her stepsister.

When Ladybug offered her the Bee Miraculous, she hesitated, thinking about Chloé's reaction because Chloé used to be Queen Bee. She finally accepts it after Ladybug tells her that Chloé would never know Zoé was the new holder of the Bee Miraculous.

Zoé, as Vesperia, immobilizes Banana Boom-Boom and impresses Cat Noir and Plagg to an extent that Plagg told Adrien, "That Vesperia is to Queen Bee what Fourme d'Ambert is to Roquefort: sweeter, more refined and much nicer."

Vesperia also sacrificed herself to help Ladybug and Cat Noir defeat Queen Banana.

In order to protect Chloé from future akumatizations, Ladybug gave Chloé a Magical Charm, but Chloé refused to take it. Zoé took the Magical Charm and gave it to Chloé, saying their mother gave Zoé that. She also told Chloé, "You may hate me, but I love you, even if the whole world hates you, sister."

In "Mega Leech", she was controlled by a mini Malediktator. Polymouse got rid of the mini Malediktator in Zoé's head and Zoé was given the Bee Miraculous for the second time to paralyze the sentimonster Mega Leech.

## As a Civilian

As a civilian, Zoé is sweet and caring. She loves to make friends. Zoé wanted to please everyone, so she started acting the way people wanted her to be like. When she couldn't do it anymore, her friends went against her, put cockroaches in her locker and called her a loser. In "Sole Crusher", she was trying to act like her mother and her stepsister, hoping to be accepted. When she finally couldn't do it anymore, she broke down and got akumatized. Later in the episode, Zoé was encouraged to be herself by Marinette and her friends.

## As Sole Crusher

When she was akumatized, she has the appearance of Chloé, and had the power to absorb anyone who she crushes with her heels.

## As Vesperia

When Zoé is Vesperia, she is more confident. She first refused to have the miraculous because she thought Chloé would be furious but later on she accepted the offer.

In "Queen Banana", she sacrificed herself to become a banana so she can help Ladybug de-akumatize Queen Banana.

In "Mega Leech", Ladybug gave her the Bee Miraculous back to paralyze Mage Leech.

### Chloé Bourgeois

Zoé cares for Chloé a lot, regardless of Chloe's treatment towards her. In "Queen Banana" sheh ad a very clever plan on giving her a magical charm because Chloé refused to accept the gift.

In "Optigami" they were both hiding from Style Queen, but Chloé came out of their hiding spot and asked to be Style Queen's assistent. Style Queen was angry because Chloé laughed at Audrey before, so she turned Chloé into gold. Chloé tried to use Zoé as a shield, and they both got turned into gold.
