Zoë Adeline Marble is a half-blood witch born on the eleventh day of may 1952, in Brighton, United Kingdom from mother Josephine Marble (neé Reeds) and father Andreas Marble. As described by people around her she is strong-willed and clever but due to trauma her depressive episodes have become more prominent in her character. Despite her charming and bright personality, her struggles with depression can be overwhelming at times. Growing up with parents who fought often had a profound impact on Zoë. She learned to cope with the constant noise and tension by withdrawing into herself and trying to stay out of the way. Despite her efforts to stay neutral, Zoë couldn't help but feel the effects of her parents' conflicts, both emotionally and physically. Witnessing her parents' violent arguments and the aftermath of their fights left her feeling anxious and helpless. It was a relief for her to escape to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she could focus on her studies and be surrounded by a supportive community. Although Zoë still carries the scars of her parents' tumultuous relationship,

Beyond her initial appearance as a clever and empathetic young girl, Zoë has a complex character. Her bright and strong-willed nature conceals a gloomy charm. Although she exudes a smile that could light up a room, behind closed doors, she carries a feeling of emptiness. Zoë's depressive episodes often cause her to distance herself from others, but despite this, she has a kind heart and is quick to speak her mind. Her loyalty and ambition led her to be sorted into Slytherin house.

Zoë's most striking feature is her hair color, which she dislikes. Despite her attempts to change it, her original color always returns. She has an upturned nose dotted with freckles that only appear in the sun, which complements the rest of her face. Although she stands at 165 centimeters tall with a slender and feminine build, her personality is anything but delicate. She is drawn to darker clothing choices.

### 1952-1956

In the first few years Zoë was born, life was peaceful at home. Her and her parents made a happy little family, even though Zoë's father experienced immense stress at his job at the ministry while working at the Department of mysteries.  Zoë grew up with the knowledge of magic, with both wizards as parents.

### 1956-1962

Andreas' job got more stressful by the day. It was even worse since he could not discuss these things due to confidentiality. Josephine and Andreas started having fights more frequently and they worsened over the years. Zoë remembers the sound of doors slamming and furniture flying around. Quietly sitting in her room listening to the screaming or even at the kitchen table watching her beloved parents with twisted faces and bared teeth. When looking up at her mother in the morning, Zoë noticed a bruised wrist and cut lip. One day Josephine and Zoë got an owl saying that father Marble could be found in St. Mungo's hospital after an experiment at work. Although Andreas recovered quickly, the toll on the family was significant. Zoë rarely saw her father, and when she did, the atmosphere was gloomy.

### 1962-1964

After the incident, the peace at home returned but only lasted for a little while. Quickly after Andreas' recovery, Zoë's mother tried to make a point on how the dedication to his job influenced their child and family. For the last time, the argument escalated. Zoë does not remember how it happened but all she remembers now is the noise of skin hitting skin and her mother falling to the floor, her dads face twisted in anger. The next day her father left. Luckily, Zoë got her invitation to Hogwarts shortly after, escaping the whole ordeal.
