Zoey Meyer-Noceda- Brazilian (Italian, Portuguese, Galician Spanish, and German ancestry); Vivian Masterson's right-hand man and "best friend", Zoey Meyer-Noceda is a misunderstood girl who is sometimes susceptible to easy manipulation by other people. She is a beautiful female student from Tribeca who has been nicknamed "Red" for her long, loosely wavy auburn hair, which is paired with soft apricot skin, nude heart-shaped lips, and a small, curved nose. She has light brown eyes and can't resist pesto eggs, although her physical constitution is such that she does not gain weight no matter how much she eats. She is generally a very kind, sweet and cordial person, yet Vivian's negative influence can cause her to appear rather selfish and even cruel as she caves under the pressure to fit in. Zoey has a strange, disjointed friend group that ranges from total nerds to reigning socialites and mostly just floats around. She loves Spar-berry and secretly can't wait to finish high school, having initially thought about doing a gap year in Zimbabwe, which she talked about pretty unceasingly. She has dated often, played whatever sport was cool to play and was perceived as "kind of mean" for the first couple of years. She had a natural knack for athleticism, fashion, and charming others, which allowed her to be dominant without engaging in the deadly sin of trying too hard. Zoey is also fashionable, talkative, melodramatic, stubborn, and very wealthy, which causes her to be labeled as snobbish and spoiled. Although she can be friendly, her vulnerability and tendency to take the judgment of others, including McKenzie Bolhofner's, to heart can cause her to break down and do rather unexpected things. She will also consider the social standings of herself and others when making decisions, hence her initial hesitation to befriend Naomi Nichols and her less popular friends.
She is normally very outgoing and sociable, yet can come across as somewhat affected and insincere in her friendly attitude towards other people. Zoey is sometimes perceived as being phony, airheaded, and excessively image-oriented, as well as the ultimate social chameleon. Her kindness tends to seem excessive to some other people, as she has been known to be a notorious people pleaser. She often enthralls people under her spell with her artful wiles and is described by some of her less popular peers as having never heard a "no" in her life. She can influence others with her actions and, much like her best friend McKenzie, encourage situations to flow in her favor through her beguiling charm, despite her more weak-willed personality. Zoey tends to lack of empathy on occasion and believes that money, her au pair, and her father can fix any problem. She is often disliked due to her outwardly condescending attitude and can be misinterpreted as selfish, but is good at giving advice on things like fashion or love. Like her father, who owns a private jet and enjoys listening to Samba music, she is often very loquacious and good at doing business with other people. Her spoiled home life has nonetheless left her somewhat naïve however when it comes to certain basics of domestic life. Zoey does not know how to wash dishes by hand in a sink for instance, believing that she could get the job done simply by squirting some dishwashing liquid on a pile of dirty dishes sitting in a sink. She seems to lead a very comfortable lifestyle with a mother who is a housewife and father who earns a stable income as a banker, causing her to sometimes lack empathy for the struggles of some of her less privileged classmates.
As someone who is described as sheltered and "having it all", she can be unintentionally shallow and insensitive in her dealings with other people, although she ultimately has a good heart and can offer a dose of kindness when needed. She stands up for Vivian by telling McKenzie not to pick on her, claiming that it was not Vivian's fault that her family was in debt and realizes the reality of Brazilians who struggle in favelas. Although she is generally a nice person and a loyal friend, Zoey has also been shown to resort to stealing if she sees something she wants but cannot have. She will feel guilty about the theft and sometimes worry about being arrested for breaking the law, leading her to return the item to its owner or otherwise attempt to right her wrong. Regardless of her coy demeanor, she is often described as a very intelligent girl, with a tenacious character and desire to always get what she wants and do what she thinks is best for her in the long term, often at the expense of her father's wishes. She is also resilient and can be bold, having a certain spunk to her demeanor that makes her seem fearless and audacious, but never to the point of brashness or impertinence. Zoey nevertheless has a humorous side and can be clever, but sometimes reserves this side of herself due to her insecurities and poor self-image. Despite dumbing herself down at times to be better received by males she feels an attraction for, she can be smart when she wants to be and prove herself to be well-read and intellectually nimble. She is well-liked, high-achieving, and the head of several social committees, leading her to plan her school's senior prom. She is smarter than she seems and can effortlessly see potential in her environment to play her way out of tricky situations.
Zoey identifies as bisexual and is described as having experienced many "fun, but short-lived flings" with other people, leading one of her exes to generate deepfake videos of her with an app. Her most notable attractions include a brief "friends with benefits" relationship with her female classmate Bianca Rutelli and her small crush on Connor Ngo once he tutored her in physics. She is known to be very optimistic, perky, and flirtatious and is usually in a new relationship every three months, with her most recent relationship being with Bryce Wersterfer. Extraverted and stylish, she wears bralette tops and mesh long sleeved t-shirts and often "goes all in" when it comes to the latest fad or something she likes. Whenever Zoey gets a minor injury, she refers to it as an "ouchie", and she will develop a vacant stare instead of giving a verbal reply during awkward, mundane, or confusing interactions. She was once pressured into giving away her favorite designer jacket on the spot, hiding her intense regret by laughing it off and acting like she was already over the trend. Though her cousins taught her to be tougher, she decided that she likes being nice more, as she gave some of the Labubu dolls she collected to people who needed them more. She also worked very hard to bring her work friends and school friends together and felt guilty for all the arguing between them, punishing herself by missing out on her favorite sale, although her friends made amends for her sake. Zoey might come across as high-maintenance, but she is the first to swap her smartphone for a flip phone, digital camera, and wired headphones when she needs a digital detox. She typically wears her hair in soft, coquette waves and warms up for workout sessions in a cropped knit shrug over a sports bra.
She oftentimes tends to prioritize her mental health and personal peace, favoring "protagonist vibes" over intense hustle culture. She opts for natural eyebrows over heavily sculpted or pencil-thin shapes and admits that she likes listening to daily podcasts and following micro-influencers. Zoey wanted to get her belly button pierced, yet her father forbade it, and she also wears many skirts and fit-and-flare dresses in bright pink and blue shades. She likes "swalty combinations", such as miso caramel, tahini chocolate chip cookies, and hot honey drizzles, but hates pebbled ice because she thinks that it is like chewing on baby rocks. She can speak a few phrases in Spanish and mentions that her favorite vacation spots are Rio de Janeiro, St. Barthélemy, and Ibiza in Spain. Despite claiming to dislike video games, her friend Vivian actually has no problem playing Call of Duty and is seen eagerly playing video games with Alec Buckley and his best friend Connor Tran. Zoey cares a lot about her looks and is drawn to fashion that feels "romantic, personalized, and unusual", which features lots of ruffles, bows, and flower patterns. She is similarly known to be extremely fun at parties and is frequently the one throwing them, and she enjoys butter boards, beef stroganoff, and caldo verde. She also has hidden depths, which include her love of theatre, acting, and writing, in addition to doing GRWM videos and having an obsession with Sephora. Despite being a cheerleader, she has a love for the arts, being a member of her school's show choir and drama club due to her love of singing and dancing. Zoey is notorious for being a fan of Chappell Roan and has several posters and related memorabilia of hers in her room, something that McKenzie will often use as a recurring joke.
She also listens to hyperpop music from Charli XCX and can often quote the lines from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by memory. Although she won't actually admit it, she was a massive fan of the Vampire Diaries as a younger teen, considering the book series to be her guilty pleasure. Due to her training as an actress, she also has great insight and almost always knows when someone is pretending or lying, and she won an online sweepstakes in California at age 9. Zoey is a card-carrying member of SAG-AFTRA, as she earned her union status as a child actress filming commercials for Skechers and network television spots. She has purposefully decided to remain "Equity Eligible" however rather than officially joining the Actors' Equity Association. This strategic move allows her to gain professional credits without legally banning herself from performing in non-union youth productions. As a result, she can still dominate her high school drama club and show choir while building a competitive resume for Oberlin College to do musical theatre and eventually win a Tony award. Zoey matures and becomes more of a "team mom" to her close friends, often referring to herself as "Mama Z" and empowering those around her. She still gets engaged by age 25 to João, a barback from the Sound Lounge who makes extreme IPAs and is "cute, but a little crazy", with short, dark curly hair, a huge chest, and broad shoulders. She is revealed to be pregnant and gets married in a civil ceremony, after which she lives with her in-laws after temporarily being cut off and experiences bad morning sickness. As wedding gifts, her parents give them money so that they can buy some furniture, and they are happy when they are able to move into their own apartment in West Village. ESFP 2w3
