------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE DETAILSZoey is a fairly pretty young black woman with black hair and brown eyes. She stands at 5'9", is fairly slim but not anorexic, and can usually be seen wearing anything that fits the term 'casual'. She doesn't see the point in dressing up unless it's a party or important event of some kind. Even when singing, she remains as casual as possible. She has no tattoos, but does have one piercing in each of her ears, although again she only wears jewellery for special occasions.------------------------------------------------------------------------------YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH

Personality: Zoey is often seen as a calm and independent young woman, but that's only on stage and in public. Outside of all of that, she can be loud and giddy when she wants to be, especially when she needs to cheer someone up. Though she heavily doubts herself about it, Zoey can actually be a very good Leader in dire situations that require a calm head. But that only really works if she's stressed and people trust her enough for that side of her to come out.
But when she doesn't know you, she can be quite quiet and reserved, only warming up when she fully trusts that you won't hurt her. But she's terrible at starting conversations, so that might take a good while. Zoey can be pretty conflicted about her singing too; if it's to someone she doesn't know, specifically a group of strangers that are well hidden within the shadows of the audience seats, she's happy to sing. But if she knows someone, and can see them, she gets uncertain of her abilities.
Strengths: Zoey is actually quite fast; she used to be a sprinter at her High School. As mentioned before, she can be a good Leader when the moment calls for it, and keeps calm in any sort of situation, unless you really manage to piss her off. She's also a good singer, if you didn't gather that before.
Weaknesses: Zoey might be a sprinter, but she can only go so fast for so long. She can get tired pretty quickly. She's also not that strong in her arms, and she still needs to learn a lot about fighting with her fists. Usually she just lashes out with her legs and bolts away from her attacker. She's not going to risk it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------THE SKELETONS IN YOUR CLOSET
Family: Charlie Atkins - Father
Melissa Atkins - Mother
Clementine Atkins - Younger Sister
History: Zoey Atkins was born in Sacramento, California. From the age of 5, her talent for singing became obvious, but even with encouragement, she shied away from main roles in plays and musicals. Zoey led a pretty normal life, taking up a job in a local bar as a night time singer to provide money for her parents, purely to thank them for taking care of her for all of her life. She felt like she owed them that much.
She took up sprinting in High School to make up for her lack of School singing, and eventually she graduated. Unfortunately, the bar she worked at struggled to pay its own bills, and eventually had to close, leaving Zoey unemployed for a good while. But a blessing followed the storm - she was gifted with Clementine Atkins, her little sister.
Once finishing High School, she began pursuing a career in the music business. But she knew she could never do it there in Sacramento. After speaking to a good friend of hers, whose Uncle had recently passed away, she found the sort of place she was looking for; Jasper, Nevada. Under the impression that she would find peace and quiet there, she moved out - after much reassurance that her mother and father would be fine - and took up residence in the newly available home.
So far she has set up her own radio station for Jasper, and has her own team to help her manage it. She intends to make the city just a little bit louder. Too bad she has no idea how loud said city actually is.------------------------------------------------------------------------------IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?
Extra: N/A------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME"And that just about does it for tonight's rockin' music fest, folks. If you guys wanna stick around for a few hours longer, our main men Johnny and Joe are comin' up after the break to give you the night club tunes that we know you'll just love! This is yours truly, Zoey Atkins, signing off."
The sound of the radio station's theme tune hummed softly from the speakers around her, before the ever familiar noises of various adverts followed. The black haired young woman removed her headphones and hopped to her feet, saying her goodbyes to her fellow co-workers before she grabbed her bag and coat, and headed on outside. The radio station's base of operations, as they called it, was just a jazzed up, one floor building with the logo in bright lights on the front. People were free to come in and make requests as they pleased, since they always left the door open.
Her house wasn't too far away; she could make the walk, and Jasper wasn't that dangerous. Sure, there was the occasional drunk who thought they'd have a go at scoring her attention, but she could send them packing. She could handle herself. Zoey was probably the only person who loved Jasper; it was quiet enough that she could do what she loved to do without getting herself too much attention. Plus the radio station was a big hit within the town ever since she had moved here and set it up.
