You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess[/color] [/center]
Height:[/color] 5’5
Weight:[/color] 100 lbs
Eyes:[/color] very dark brown
Hair:[/color] Black
Scars/Tattoos/Other Markings:[/color]Well, if caught without either prostetic, she’s missing her left arm at the shoulder. There’s a burn mark on her back that covers most of it, save for the shoulders and bits around her sides and at the waist. Theres also a left/right scar across her midsection starting at just below her breast and going to the waist. All three of these are from a train accident at age ten. Theres another small scar usually hidden by her hair, from where an electrode aray and chip were surgically inserted.
Summary: [/color]
Zoe, or Zeke as she prefers to be called, is actually an attractive young woman when you look past the scars and all. She has shoulder black length hair, with the bangs framing her face, and once in a while the hair is tied back into a bun minus the bangs. Her eyes are a dark brown that at a distance are almost confused for black, especially in low light. Her figure is lean and muscular, but still curvaceous.
Typically, She sport’s longer sleeve clothing, to help hide that her left arm is artificial. However, in the summer if it’s hot, since the fake arms are real enough looking, she’ll venture out in a tank top or just her sirashi that she normally wears under her clothes. Though, it’s wrapped so her entire chest is covered, and by extent flattened, and always has a portion wrapped around the left shoulder for “extra support” (Her chest is a decent size… but it’s more to cover where the fake arm and stump meet). As for below the waist, she always’s wears pants that fit her waist right, but are loose in the legs so she can move freely. She can pretty much always also be seen wearing fingerless gloves.

Likes:[/color] Rice, food, hanging out, being treated normal, sparring
Dislikes: [/color] being treated different cause of her injury, trains, being made fun of, those who insult her sensei (other then height), people finding out about her arm.
Strengths:[/color] fighting, fast, agile
Weaknesses:[/color] Only one reliable arm, short tempered on certain things (namely certain things towards “Raven Sensei” as she calls him, and concerning her treatment by those who know of her arm, as in pity her, etc…).
Personality:[/color]
Zoe is a nice enough girl, though she tends to be a little more on the quite side of things. She is willing to talk when talked to, and willing to help if asked for it. However, she’s also very strong willed and determined, to the point of almost not knowing when to give up. She also has quite the temper, especially when it comes to her arm. All she wants in that aspect is to be treated like anyone with two arms, not someone who needs special help or to have things made easier for her. Needless to say people who treat her like an invalid if they aren’t yelled at are usually struck with her good arm or foot, partially to show she doesn’t need that arm. She can handle friends and all, but after a boyfriend that dated her a year just to get her in bed for one night as part of a bet and taped it as proof, and two girlfriends that cheated on her, she’s not at all keen on a relationships, distrusting both sexes.

History: [/color]
Zoe was born to a normal, but wealthy set of parents, her father actually being the head of a company that developed and sold prosthetic limbs for people who had lost their real ones. Her childhood was rather dull until one day she was ten. Her family was riding on a train when suddenly, there was an accident, and the car she happened to be in flipped over as it derailed. Zoe had been in the window seat, and when the train’s side hit, it broke the window and bounced just long enough for Zoe’s arm to end up outside and pinned beneath the train, though she blacked out by that point. She woke up briefly though while her arm was still pinned, her body in so much pain she couldn’t even feel the arm, though she felt a lot of pain in her back, and could taste blood in her mouth. She was together enough to hear her mom arguing with rescue workers on site. They said they didn’t know how long it’d be before they could lift the train at all, and that she’d probably bleed out before then, and that the only way to free her in time was to amputate her left arm, which they figured (correctly) was probably too damaged to be repaired and that she’d lose it anyway. But her mom was arguing that she didn’t want that and to find another way. They both knew what it was like, since she went to her fathers work and her mom was a doctor. But Zoe managed to say “Just let them“, loud enough to be heard, then noticing her mom had been run through by a pipe and they were fixing to cut the pipe, since removing it right now at the scene would mean certain death. She asked Zoe if she knew what she was saying and she managed to get out “Yeah” before blacking out again.
She woke up a couple days later in the hospital, going to sit up, but finding her left arm had moved, but apparently, it had no strength to lift since only her right helped her sit up. Though, that’s when she looked over to see it.. But saw that basically only the shoulder was left. Instead of freaking out.. Especially because she had told them to do it when she thought of it, she went about it rationally. It was phantom limb.. It felt like it was there, but it wasn’t, it was just a trick of the mind. Her mom was in the bed next to her, in just as bad shape, though far more intact. Though, she drove Zoe to lay back down and pull the cover up, because when she looked over (of course to Zoe’s left), she began crying seeing her daughter was missing the arm. She wanted to tell her to stop... But that would have been harsh and she sort of understood. The next day, her dad came to visit the two of them, as well as a doctor that gave them the final damage report. Her father was paralyzed from the waist down, but had no there injuries, and had none that had been life threatening. Her mother’s had been, but she’d be fine other then the scars, and the fact she would never have a kid again as much as she wanted, short of using her daughter or someone else to carry it. And then there was Zoe, who would have the lovely scar on her midsection and the patch of skin that would be lighter from having been burned on her back. And of course, the loss of her left arm.
She had to stay there a while as she healed up, her parents free to go, but staying with her as much as possible. Her father of course suggested a prosthetic, but she refused, unless the one she had could pass for real, even if it couldn’t move. So in the couple month’s she ended up there, her Father’s company used what they had at the time to make a fairly good one, that she deemed acceptable, so she went through the process of getting it fitted, and return to life mostly as usual. Or so she thought, the school had of course been told so they kept doing things as if she couldn’t do it herself, and out playing during lunch break, the other students found out when she was shoved off something, and it came off.
When the treatment and harassment continued, she finally snapped, and struck a student in the middle of class as she shouted for everyone to treat her normal. It wasn’t long before she ended up kicked out of the school for fighting and yelling at staff, so her parents sent her to live with her mothers father, since they couldn’t move and she refused to be home schooled. Things were slightly better, at least in that she didn’t get kicked out. Though, when she was 16, three guys dragged her into an alleyway, but before they got her clothes off, a passing cop dealt with them. She of course insisted on thanking him, mistaking his age since he looked younger then 19. He reluctantly agreed after she made it clear no was not an answer, so once he was off duty, she took him to her house. Though, the house was atop the man’s shop… which was dedicated to selling old style weapons, sword’s, everything, and though Rune refused, the grandfather in gratitude since he could appreciate the craftsmanship, made him his own one of a kind blade, and agreed to teach him how to as well. Though, like his granddaughter, the old man would not take no for an answer.
She later enrolled in Rune’s old dojo, though a few weeks later he was allowed to return, to which it was in this time she began using her middle name, or her nickname “Zeke”, derived from the z and e in her first name, a k from her second, and the e at the end of her last name. She did well, considering, though, Rune helped her learn, and was the only one to spare with her, all but the sensei (who only didn’t spare with her because he did not do so with students) disgusted not that he’d fight a girl all out, but one with one arm. But she liked that about him… he looked passed that and saw her, not a girl with a fake arm. Hence why she calls him “Raven-sensei”, and is the only one he allows to do so.
Just after her 18th birthday, her father introduced something that would give her a little more normalcy. She’d have to undergo a surgery to install a device that would translate the electrical impulses from the brain into the ones for movement of a robotic prosthetic, that was modeled after her remaining arm, thought switched properly to be her left, that would be picked up wirelessly, with the outermost layer being made of a newer synthetic skin that actually replicated the sense of touch. She was of course happy, and didn’t mind the surgery to get the stuff put in, she was out cold after all.
For the most part, it works well, and is made of light enough weight to not be a problem, however, it is of course imperfect. It went through considerable tests, but of course no one can anticipate what may crop up in actual everyday use. So sometimes it’s sluggish, or she loses the ability to feel with it, or stops working all together. It’s not often, but it is inconvenient, especially when the settings are off, and she grips things too hard or too soft by mistake. Leading her to be less reliant on that arm, and wear the other one a little more often.
She decided on KU, since it was assured at least one person would treat her normal there, though she hoped anyone that found out about her arm would. Her parents have no trouble paying at all, not just because of the company they own and all… but well, everyone on that train sued the living hell out of the owners and all. Typically, if she’s not in her room or in class, she’s not far behind Rune, since she lurks in shadows and random places more then him. Despite only having the one arm, she does still want to try her hand at acting and other things, and if given the chance maybe try a sport. She does after all, want to try and live as she would if the accident never happened.
