[ARIANA GRANDE] Brightwood Academy welcomes [ZOE BARCLAY, 25, SHE/HER]. They come to us from [NEW YORK, NEW YORK] and are a [GUARDIAN]. They are known to be [DETERMINED], but can also be [APATHETIC]. They are a [NEW STUDENT, SO NOBODY KNOWS HER]. They are really into [POWER AND CONTROL, MIND GAMES, MANIPULATION, SUCCESS, BEING ON TOP], but prefer to seer clear of [BATHROOM STUFF] We are pleased to have them join the family here at Brightwood!
From a very young age, it was obvious that Zoe wasn’t like the kids around her. She got caught being mean to the other kids and didn’t seem to connect to what she was doing, but she learned to apologize when she was told to and move on until the next time. At least until the kids became too scared to tell on her, and she started to get away with it. She was highly intelligent and taught herself to be highly perceptive, and though at first her mean tendencies came from a lack of understanding, they eventually evolved into a curiosity.
All of her schooling was done in private boarding schools, and soon enough Zoe had manipulated the girls around her and created a small following in every school she went to. These girls wanted to do anything to impress her, so she was able to explore all of her darkest sexual curiosities. The human body fascinates her, and pushing a body to its limit is her absolute favorite thing in the world. It’s the only kind of connection that she can stand, and not even her friends were really considered friends in the privacy of her mind. Her Machiavellian traits developed at an incredibly fast rate, because she needed to be able to keep her following under her command when each and every one of them knew that they were not obligated by any logical reason to submit to the way she treated them. She also had to keep them quiet, and make sure that anyone that might investigate, never felt the need to.
Having an environment where she felt like she had so much control allowed Zoe to blossom. She captained multiple clubs and participated in a variety of extra curricular activities. She rarely had a free moment to herself, and she liked it that way. Everything she did, she did with a pristine level of perfection. From playing lacrosse to insulting people. Her aesthetic is dark, but frilly like a princess-- or perhaps an evil Queen.
Then she purposefully pushed someone passed their limits, and when one of the girls got scared and said she was going to tell, Zoe pushed her down a set of stairs. The people around her crumbled under the pressure of a police investigation and told everything. Zoe was considered the mastermind and with all of their testimonies of everything she’d ever made them do on record, she was incarcerated. Her parents did their best to buy her way out, but she had done too much to be able to bury it all this time; like they had so many times before then.
Once again, she was in an environment where she rarely had a moment to herself and once again, she climbed her way to the top of the food chain very quickly. As always, she paid attention to her surroundings and took every opportunity she saw to learn new things, especially about other people. When she learned new things about how other people felt and thought, she didn’t understand the why, but she could catalog the information.
Now that she’s been released, she’s starting her first year at Brightwood. Nobody knows her and she is free to start a whole new set of mind games with a whole lot of new knowledge under her belt; thanks to her time incarcerated. The only other difference is now she has people to boss around that have super powers and connections to the Council.
I have a proposition that I believe at least a few of you might be interested in. I’ve been talking about opening up a boxing club for quit some time, and I believe there is no better time to open the floor for that. I’ll call it Fight Club, because I will be employing the teachings of multiple martial arts and I may also introduce weaponry at a future date. Anyone that is interested can meet me in the gym on Tuesday.

Isabel: I was wondering when you might pop back up. I do not always approach first, because I enjoy gauging interest levels. I want to see when and if you miss me. I suppose tonight is that night.
Isabel: Get that fine ass over here, now.
Zoe: I'll keep that in mind. Looks to be so.
Zoe: I'm on my way. Speed running, so I'll see you soon. Less than a minute.
If you were meant to know, you’d know. And be involved. In this case, I wouldn’t be surprised if those some were glad for their perceived lack of anything going on, if it meant being spared from this.
You completely missed what I was saying, but that’s fine because being understood by you doesn’t rate on my to do list.
You just mentioned what you missed. People are getting sick.
That’s me.
So I did. Looks like there’s already more going on though, so it was totally valid to ask if there was anything else going on. I guess it can be assumed that some don’t have anything going on beyond the obvious. Clearly.
This is a shining, sparkling example of exactly why I don’t eat in that Dining Hall, and why I don’t allow you to either. It looks like you and I may be the only two actually enjoying what we learned in those workshops today.
I never ate there before either, I’m above public cafeterias. Eating there was just asking for something bad to happen. My body is a temple, but it won’t be if I don’t take care of it. I only eat the best and I stick to a strict diet. We’ll have to have all of the fun for everyone. No biggie.
