Zoey (ゾーイ) was a servant of Yorna Mishigure and the older sister of Tanza.
Appearance
Zoey was a deer human girl with a pair of antlers. When she took up residence in Chaosflame, she began to wear a kimono. As Zoey was Tanza's sister, it can be presumed that the two resembled each other.
Personality
Zoey was viewed as a strong-willed and kind-hearted woman by Tanza. She scolded Tanza when she cursed the world, and was the most serious and hardworking servant that Yorna had.
History
Zoey and Tanza's birthplace was ravaged and destroyed by bandits who sought to earn profits when the spread of a superstition claiming that boiling the antlers of deer humans could create a panacea. Their parents were murdered by the bandits, and the two of them barely escaped with their lives. From that point onward, the sisters lived a harsh life of suffering while attempting to evade those who sought to kill them for their antlers or to prey on their weakness, as has been customary for the Vollachia Empire. Zoey put herself through harsh circumstances to even obtain a plate of soup for her and Tanza. After they had continued to flee for a long time, the two of them eventually heard rumors of a paradise called Chaosflame, and Zoey led Tanza there. Yorna greeted the sisters when they arrived at Chaosflame and embraced them. Although Zoey had not cried when her parents died, when a spectacle was made of her so she could obtain soup, or when Tanza levied curses towards her, she began to sob as she embraced Yorna. Tanza, too, cried at this scene.
In Chaosflame, the sisters were provided with suitable meals and a bedroom. Being the most hardworking of Yorna's servants, Zoey carried out her responsibilities dutifully. However, two years after arriving at Chaosflame, while Zoey was guiding demi-human tribes into the city, she passed a fortress of Imperial Soldiers who were conducting a military exercise. They attacked the demi-humans under the guise that they were potential enemies. Zoey would unfortunately be murdered and tortured for sport by the soldiers, who would then disgrace her corpse. As a result of Zoey's death, Yorna attacked the fortress and killed a majority of the soldiers there for revenge, and when a few of them escaped, she carried out a full-scale rebellion against the Empire to retrieve the escaped soldiers.
