Zoey Kowalczyk
Zoey is one of the girls in attendance at Center Path Institute residing semi-permanently in the South Building, owing to her unique dietary needs and a number of other minor mental health concerns. Though not hybridized--which is everyone's first assumption when they hear that someone has some special accomodation here--she has a kind of eating disorder that prevents her from eating most solid foods. As a result, she has a mostly liquid diet which is thoroughly supplemented by the necessities: things like fiber, vitamins, and other critical macronutrients. She goes back home for the weekends, but spends a majority of her time on-campus.
Zoey's appearance, even after accomodating for the quasi-sharpness that her extremely low body weight gives her, is still striking. She has a strong nose and dark, moody eyes; her hair is jet black and is cut in a particular way where she has a main fringe, but then two other, smaller sets of 'accessory bangs' (more-or-less) that encircle her face. There is some Japanese name that she uses for this style which eludes me. With that being said, too: Zoey is very interested--perhaps fixated--on all manners of video game and media. She very well may be excellently cut out for later studying communications, or mass media, or the like; as peculiar as her interests often tend to be, as anyone who is subjected to her long and enthusiastic explanations would know, there is a distinct level of expertise that is immediately obvious.
Her father is a police officer working for the town of Burncastle, but this isn't something that she likes to bring up. She will mention in passing, on rare occasion, her mother--who is a cosmetologist--and her little sister Lily, but little is ever said about them beyond what is briefly only given as necessary for context. Zoey seems to love spending time with Penny, and often rants and raves about how much fun she is. I also believe that she engages in... somewhat strange hobbies with Ivy, much of which concerns exotic animated media from far away that I could never get into. She also plays video games with Audrey.
Her birthday is November 29th. Apparently, she shares it with some character from something she's into, and is quite pleased by this.
