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 fancy jewelry or fine embroidery. She always seems to stand out from her surroundings. (Alluring x4, Seductive x2, Surreal Quality)

Quick to smile or laugh, her eyes were almost always sparkling with curiosity and wonder. Zoe spoke with a distinctive accent reminiscent of French, but not quite.

==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 for a life in 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 was originally from New Orleans. She claimed that the territory was Spanish during her mother's lifetime, French during her lifetime, and American in her daughter's lifetime. While the details of her mortal life remain 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 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 found her old home so radically changed that she did not stay.
 +
 
 +
In the Spring of 2011, Zoe settled in Scranton, PA 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. That event shook Scranton's Court, but Zoe found her foothold and became active player in the politics of Northeastern Pennsylvania Hegemony.

She returned to the United States and visited New Orleans, but until very recently seemed content to travel and take in as much of the world as she could.

Since her appointment, Zoe  continued to build her reputation in Kindred society, protecting the Masquerade in Scranton and often lending influence aid to the neighboring Marquisdom of The Lehigh Valley. She was active behind the scenes of the Conclave held against Prince [[Kelly]], wherein all three Marquisdoms, including Scranton, were placed under Ordeal. While under Ordeal, Zoe was quietly attentive to her duties. Upon the Final Death of her sire, Zoe took her broodmate Jared under her own Accounting. She was known for hosting grand gatherings for Scranton's Court, but also regularly frequented Annapolis to visit her Patron, Prince [[Rook]].
  
After discovering a prominent branch of mortal descendants, Zoe settled in The Lehigh Valley.
