Character

General

Zoey is an experienced and rather cold-hearted Plainsfolk Lalafell who can be seen traveling around Eorzea night and day, almost never with a smile. She's business first, and pleasure later, usually one who prefers to be on her own and sees friendships as little more than a humerus distraction. Though a specialist in ice magic, Zoey prefers her words as a weapon, and is known for a sharp, silver tongue, always one to win an argument, even if it puts others in a state of rage or leads to her getting lashed out at. She's blunt, witty, rarely kind with her words, but in the end she gets things done and deep down has a good heart. It's just a shame that she surrounds it with ice and keeps people at a distance with her perfectionist attitude.

Appearance

Zoey is slightly shorter than your normal lalafell, but not by much, and is rather slim even for the pear shaped body most lalafells have. Her hips are thinner than most of her kind, and one could barely find even a hint of muscle build on her anywhere but along her legs since she's quite used to traveling. The pale skinned lalafell has a rather delicate looking face, though one that is most often sporting an annoyed expression, as if the world around her and the existence of others close to her is enough to bother the lalafell. And her icy blue eyes don't seem to help for that matter, as she's seen with a cold stare that makes most uncomfortable, putting off an imposing and grumpy aura around her, like she's never had a pleasant day in her life. Her hair is a dark blue as well, more navy blue in hue, and is nearly combed down, while being done in two, small braids just past the front of her small, slightly pointed ears. The only thing Zoey is a little annoyed with is her short, thick brows, which normally are furrowed in an annoyed expression much like her her lips are curled in a scowl.

Overall, she keeps herself relatively clean, knowing she needs a proper and professional look without appearing too flashy, and the lalafell has a rather unique beauty to her, like a sculpture delicately made of ice, even if her attitude often disrupts the image one would get at a glance.

Behavior

Zoey’s personality can be described as cold, calculating, to the point, and articulate. She always wants to know what’s going on, and has a ‘know it all’ sort of air around her at all times. The lalafell is well aware of her intellect, and she’s not afraid to show her prowess either. She tends to be domineering to those she feels are beneath her, is brazen, and very vainglorious, tending to care little about making friends, and more about making others realize she is on top. Of course, many don’t get along with her egotistical and narcissistic attitude, but she couldn’t care less about this. She knows she’s better than others, and isn’t afraid to rub it in their face.

Often, she does just keep quiet and to herself. But the moment something is said that she doesn’t approve of, someone has some form of information wrong, or someone just dares to speak with her, there is nothing but a rude, harsh attitude from her, as she often verbally assassinates someone, identifying people and their weak points and what to say to just morally crush them.

Even in a battle, her attitude doesn't change much, but she can be more vocal about it. She remains just as cold as the ice she flings about, but will complain, insult, and shout at her foe, demoralizing them in any way she can. The girl hates having to fight physically, preferring her words as a weapon, though that doesn't stop her from fighting for what she believes in.

Occupation

In simple terms, Zoey is an investigator, taking orders from local guards and officials to check out suspicious areas and survey the landscape. But her work goes deeper than that, as she is forced to pry for information from the locals even if they don't like it, seek out missing individuals, or simply return to the local guards whenever she spot some suspicious activity.

Due to this, Zoey has a few special privileges with guards like the Yellowjackets, Brass Blades, God Quiver, and the Wood Wailers. It isn't anything spectacular, but it does give Zoey a few connections and allows her to get through secure areas a little easier. In a way, she's like a detective, taking any odd jobs she can get where her intellect will shine, but also her natural talent in ice magic to aid her in combat can keep her sustained in any dangerous situation. Overall, Zoey is found traveling a lot, calling out to guards and bringing them to suspicious activities, dangerous foes, or even when someone has gone missing. Or, just poking and prying around the crowds to find more information and a solution to the problem she's been entrusted to investigate.

On the side, Zoey also does a bit of speech-writing for officials. While it's not her full time work, and really just something she does to pass the time, the brainy but brash lalafell has been known to write for a few officials. Due to this, she's been able to even personally meet and share a little time with head figures like Merlwyb or the Sultana, Nanamo. Though such work was strictly professional, aiding in writing their speeches when such officials simply don't have the time to put into doing one themselves.

Finally, while it's only when she's desperate for money and work is slow, Zoey works at the Gold Saucer. Ironically enough, for someone who is not a people-person in any way, Zoey works as one of the Senior Sabotender mascots. She won't admit it, but the anonymous state it puts her in makes her feel like she could let her guard down, and she does adore the children she manages to make smile.

Relations

■ Sypher Corinth : An enemy in Zoey's eyes, the lalafell has recently put a bounty up on the Miqo'te. While she has claimed it to be for a 'debt' he owes her, her real reasoning is to get revenge on him for the murder he committed. They may have yet to meet in person, but she knows for a fact that he was the one who had slain her closest friend Vainya Sativoss. And for that, she wishes to get revenge. Though, she has yet to realize Sypher's actions were only in self defense, which may likely lead to tragic misunderstanding in the near future...
