How old is zoey redbird

At the full moon ritual she attends, she and the other attendees get to make a wish. Zoey's is: " My secret wish is that I belong […] that I have finally found a home no one can take away from me " Seems pretty convincing to us. Even though her looks are somewhere between average and cute on the hotness spectrum, Zoey is plagued by doubts about her ability to fit in, which she starts out the book wanting more than anything.

This isn't just a classic teen-navigating-high-school desire, though. Zoey's family is a big part of why she cares so much about fitting in at school. See, they're not terribly functional, leaving Zoey with the desire to create a nurturing relationship with her friends, a place where she can feel normal and fully accepted.

While most teens place a lot of pressure on their social lives, Zoey places just that much more since she doesn't get a whole lot of love at home. Check out what she says right after she gets Marked:. I just wanted to attempt to be normal, despite the burden of my mega-conservative parents, my troll-like younger brother, and my oh-so-perfect older sister. I wanted to pass geometry […] But most of all, I wanted to fit in—at least at school.

Home had become hopeless, so I was left with were my friends and my life away from my family. That's some pretty heavy stuff.

When Zoey comes home after getting Marked at school, we begin to see why her relationship with her family is so messed up. She really wants to be comforted by her mom: "I was sixteen years old, but I suddenly realized that I wanted nothing as much as I wanted my mom" 2.

But Zoey's mom doesn't support her, and instead freaks out and calls her step-dad to come deal with the problem. And guess what? He doesn't understand, either. Weirdly, Zoey's bad home situation is what makes her resolved to run away from home and stay away. She thinks:. I'm going to remember how awful they made me feel today.

So when I'm scared and alone and whatever else is going to happen to me starts to happen, I'm going to remember that nothing could be as bad as being stuck here. So Zoey actually draws strength and resolve from her crummy family life in a sort of twisted way—it drives her to have the guts to head off to the House of Night by not really giving her anything to stay home for. Luckily Zoey's entire family isn't terrible, and her grandma is actually pretty awesome.

Zoey knows she can always count on her in times of trouble, saying, "During those awful first months after Mom married John I think I would have shriveled up and died if I hadn't been able to escape every weekend to Grandma's house" 4. And Zoey's grandma really cares about her. When Zoey collapses, Grandma Redbird takes her straight to the House of Night, knowing it's her best chance to heal.

Oh, and while we're on the whole family bit, Zoey's genes contribute to her supernatural connection. She explains:. Grandma Redbird said that it was obvious that the Redbird Wise Woman blood had skipped over her daughter, but that was only because it had been saving up to give an extra dose of ancient Cherokee magic to me.

So not only does Zoey have the cultural background in Cherokee life and language thanks to her grandma, but there's a hint that her DNA carries extra goodies to help her along the way, too. The picture Zoey paints us of her family gives us a good sense of why her life is so messed up: Her mom's inattentive, her step-dad's a jerk, and her siblings pretend to fit in in order to escape notice.

Only her grandma really cares for her, though that caring goes a long way. Understanding Zoey's family dynamics helps us see how her background influences her behavior, ranging from her boy troubles to her desire to care for her new friends.

Zoey's got a history of bungling romantic relationships. But as we take a stroll through her dating disasters, keep in mind that a lot of her boy blunders are typical for teens, and that Zoey's under a lot of extra pressure as she Changes.

Before getting Marked, she refers to Heath a typical football jock-type as her "almost-boyfriend" 1. The way she puts it is: "I'm sorry, but I don't want to go out with a guy whose main focus in life has changed from trying to play college football to trying to chug a six-pack without puking" 1. He sounds like a winner, right? It's no wonder Zoey's feeling meh about him. If you're wondering why Zoey dated Heath at all, well, we're right there with you. After she's Marked, Zoey runs into Heath in the school parking lot and suddenly feels massively attracted to him: "Hell, we'd been making out for a year, but he'd never made me feel like this—nothing ever like this" 2.

What we're hearing is that Zoey stayed with Heath for so long, despite a lack of fireworks, because… well… we're not really sure why. And maybe she's not either. Maybe Zoey's not so good at romantic relationships. But then again—remember how she longs to fit in.

In another instance of Zoey being clueless, she develops a crush on the school hottie, Erik Night. Damien instructs that the stories they will be reading will correlate to a respective element and asks Zoey to use her own affinity in order for them to decide with which to start.

Using her affinity, Zoey chooses the element Earth which corresponds with the story of Freya. The story illustrates to her that a leader knows when to accept a friends help and ask for it.

Zoey, after summoning the Goddess Nyx, realizes that she must accept her role as the leader of the Dark Daughters because fear is not an adequate excuse.

Zoey asks Nyx to help her further and the Goddess offers her five lessons; 1 for each of the 5 elements and one of each she has already competed. Her second lesson corresponds with the element air and the story of the Daughter's of Bouddica. This is a story about the founding of the Dark Daughters and shows Zoey that Una and Mirain began this community in order to "welcome all into their group of support and acceptance" so that no vampyre fledgling would never feel lonely.

This makes Zoey realize something about her relationship with Aphrodite and reach out to help and support her 'enemy'. Her third lesson corresponds with the element of water and the story of Circe. This story is about the overcoming of enemies and hatred with acceptance and support instead of violence; and it forces Zoey to realize that she responded incorrectly to the town's mob of 'anti-vampyre's' that it will probably make matters worse if they believe that she attempted to down them with rain.
