Alias(es):
Zoe Moreau

Physical description: Zoe is stunningly beautiful, with the slender build and graceful gait of a dancer. Her pale skin offsets her large, dark eyes and bright red lips. Her long jet-black hair is usually braided back, with wisps falling to frame her face. Rarely dressed casually, she favors skirts and dresses in deep, rich colors. Her outfits are typically embellished with fine jewelry or intricate embroidery. Quick to smile or laugh, her eyes are almost always sparkling with curiosity and wonder. Zoe speaks with a distinctive accent reminiscent of French, but not quite. She always seems to stand out from her surroundings.

Known History
Zoe is originally from New Orleans. She claims that the territory was Spanish during her mother's lifetime, French during her lifetime, and American in her daughter's lifetime. While much of her mortal life remains a mystery, she was obviously groomed from a young age to thrive in high-class social circles. Her accomplishments in ballroom dancing, piano, embroidery, calligraphy and poetry caught the eye of Clan Toreador. Eventually she and her future Sire departed for Marseille.
Zoe has spent a significant amount of time in torpor. Her resting place was bombed during the World Wars, causing those who knew her to assume she had been destroyed, and thus she was forgotten. When she finally awakened almost a century later, she found the world radically different, and she has spent the past several years adjusting to these changes. Zoe returned to the United States and visited New Orleans in the wake of Katrina, but until very recently seemed content to travel and take in as much of the world as she could.
In the Spring of 2011, Zoe settled in Scranton, where she started networking with local Clanmates and establishing herself within certain mortal circles. She quickly built an influence base and became a patron to some proteges in the local arts scene. Something of a "rising star," Zoe's popularity grew in Scranton, where she first served as Lesser Harpy. During a nasty Praxis battle that took place on Elysium grounds, Zoe helped to move mortals out of harm's way so the Masquerade could be upheld, and then moved to protect the artwork on display. For these actions she was named the new Keeper of Elysium. Since her appointment, Zoe seems to be finding her footing in modern Kindred society, often lending influence aid to the neighboring Marquisdom of The Lehigh Valley. She is known for hosting grand gatherings for Scranton's Court, but also regularly frequents Annapolis.
Most who meet Zoe are struck by her wide-eyed enthusiasm and curiosity. A novel juxtaposition of old-fashioned manners and youthful innocence, Zoe revels in pleasant company, but has yet to develop the sharp tongue or melodramatic ennui characteristic of so many Roses.

Quotes
"They are having you do things so that they may sit back and enjoy how silly you are, how "innocent" you are and wallow in what they have lost and can never again posses. Their ultimate goal, I assure you, it to stand back and watch that innocence and youth be crushed under foot by those monsters of the night that you will accidentally offend. They want to enjoy your innocence for a time, and then relish the process through which your innocence is stripped away..." - Prince William Dunstin, S. J.
"You have a remarkable talent for the game. Honesty is hard to come by and well, someone who one can laugh with, play the games of court with, lie to, hold three conversations at once with and still know they can be honest .... that is, well I guess it is a dream, isnt it? You will be great at it some day." - Marquis Deckard Stevens
"I know talent when I come upon it. One day, you'll see that I was right." - Archon Aetius
