Headcannons about Zoe and her family from Miraculous

Disclaimer : Most of these headcannons are not cannon or true and there is no evidence backing up these headcannons. This is just a bit of fun as we are likely never going to get any information regarding Zoe's family.

Zoe’s father's name was Andrew lee. 

Zoe’s father was a high ranking military captain who was acquaintances with Colt Fathom - who was an arms dealer. 

Zoe’s father being in the military meant he traveled a lot and was very busy but still had time for his daughter. He loved Zoe a lot but when Zoe did something wrong , he wasn't afraid to discipline her. However when Zoe was 11 a war broke out in a foreign country so Zoe’s father went abroad to fight. This caused Zoe to be put into boarding school because her dad wasn’t able to care for her. He however was still a decent father and visited Zoe as much as he could. When Zoe told him about the bullying on the phone , he brought Zoe tickets to Paris because he had no other family to send her too. He wanted for Zoe to get her to know her half-sister and promised her it would be temporary and he will come back for her soon.

Zoe and Felix knew each other due to their dads being acquaintances. They played together when they were younger. Felix preferred Zoe over Chloe.

Zoe is a fan of The Lumineers.

Zoe's paternal grandmother is from Central Asia specifically Tajikistan. Zoe was very close with her grandmother growing up and she looked after her when her dad was working. She died when Zoe was 10.

Zoe can understand some Tajik

Zoe's paternal grandfather died during 9/11.

Zoe's middle name is Niloofar which translates to water lily in persian. It was the name of her great grandmother. The flower on her shirt was meant to resemble a water lily.

10. This headcannon was confirmed to be true - Zoe was best friends with Jess Keynes in NYC

I was about to be hecka sad that Jessica couldn't have used "Bring Flowers of the Rarest" for Anthony's lullaby because google lied to me about the publication date, but it was actually written in like 1871, so for all my Catholic Lockwood girlies, feel free to cry about that.

What would really make me cry is if she had sung him "Lady of Knock" but despite being about the apparition that song's fairly new, so it's a bit more of a stretch. I know they're not Irish, but GOLLY THE THOUGHT OF JESSICA SINGING "Golden rose, Queen of Ireland, all my cares and troubles cease" to get Anthony to go to sleep DOES SOMETHING TO MY SOUL.

Also, happy Solemnity of the Assumption, folks. I'm in a Mama Mary mood.

i got the chance to info-dump in a discord server and i wanted to post it here because i think itt might be interesting to some..? and. "helpful" in a very specific and dumb way

but in general its just me making observations abt jessica drew (from earth 332) and jessica from the comics and how they are different (ability/power wise) and what similarities they might have

atsv spoilers i think? kinda. sorta. not really.

in the marvel comics, jessica drew got her spider power stuff from a mix of suffering from uranium poisoning as a child and a weird serum derived from spider venom that a geneticist (her father) used to try and save her.

this causes her to have powers like super strength, better physical durability, superhuman reflexes, contaminant immunity (immunity to things like poisonous gasses and radiation), venom blast, and pheromone secretion (makinf people either fall in love with her or be repulsed by her depending on mood and/or gender). she also gets around by gliding with the collapsible arm wings on her suit.

earth 332 spider woman (the one we see in atsv) has powers that are closer to the usual spiderman abilities than comic spiderwoman like being able to use webs ! however, unlike the common way that spider people shoot their webs (from their wrists) (i think) (dont make fun of me), her webs shoot out of her individual fingertips (awesome) (its cuz shes goated obv).

so im guessing that her origin story is closer to the classic spider person story where they get bit by a radioactive spider. BUT. a couple of comic jessicas powers would make a LOT of sense for 332 jess like:

1. "Superhuman Durability: Spider-Woman's body is somewhat tougher and more resistant to injury than an ordinary human's, although she is far from invulnerable. She is capable of withstanding impact forces that would severely injure or kill an ordinary human with only mild to moderate discomfort."

this would explain why 332 jess is (seemingly) comfortable fighting and going on missions while pregnant. its not just cuz shes SUPER DUPER determined to help the spider society and the multiverse nd whatnot no matter WHAT, but because she knows that neither she nor the fetus will face any harsh and/or fatal injuries.

2. "Contaminant Immunity: Spider-Woman's metabolism rapidly creates powerful immunity to all forms of toxins, poisons and drugs. Her body is immune to radiation."

same as the last one, it seems like itd be helpful regarding her pregnancy. especially if shes going on missions that have things like toxic gasses or encountering villains that yk. can do stuff with poison. of course consuming, inhaling, or generally being exposed to certain things while pregnant can impact the baby greatly so that power would be convenient for that i think.

im not okay :3

misc spiderverse thought: as much as i love pavitr prabhakar, the mumbattan sequence, and his whole dynamic with gwen and hobie, that character specifically being pav and that world being earth 50101 is actually totally irrelevant.

like, contrast him with hobie, whose status as the punk spider man directly ties into the themes of the story and justifies his reasonings for giving miles a fair warning and giving gwen the portal watch she'll need to escape the society. if you swap hobie out with someone else, the plot points he participates in don't work.

(... and technically gwen too; a case can be made for peter b being the one to sneak to 1610 because he misses his old student working better than gwen risking it all for a boy she spent one afternoon with a year and a half ago, but being totally at the mercy of the society is far more appropriate for her than him.)

pav though? it could've been anyone fulfilling the role of 'innocent spider-person miles protects from trauma.'

which is all to say part of me wishes it had been like, anya corazon, instead, simply because giving gwen one female friend would've helped alleviate so much of the bad vibe around her being turned into a guys' girl right as she's girlfriendified.

sample of thing I'm currently working on as my tablet is dying but I'm waiting on my new one. going to wrap up chapter 3 first before I'll post the final result xx

my boss hates his job, which, you know what, fair, but he’s decided that hating his job means he’s experiencing medical burnout and took three weeks of sick leave. he’s back now, and feeling better, and good for him! taking breaks when your body tells you to is important! but he asked me how long my burnout lasted and i had to tell him...neil...i quit my job in december 2021 to begin my recovery and this very week i am back to not being able to get off the couch just because i had some time-sensitive deliverables last week that elevated my stress levels and fucked with my routine. like yes everyone’s experiences are different, but also, i think i deserve to be just a little bit petty and tell you that hey actually, some of us have had serious work-induced crises and you having to listen to the needs of human seniors instead of writing your book about how great you are at communing with trees is not even remotely the same.

@ruby-took Like, Wilson Fisk in Daredevil may be smaller stakes, and only poses a threat to New York City as a whole. But since his motivations are purely about power and money, and he also twists the justice system to benefit him, he feels larger stakes.

Kilgrave feels like larger stakes for Jessica Jones, because he's a case of someone who would technically qualify as an Avengers-level villain, but doesn't because he only cares about using his powers to obtain his own personal comforts.

Whoever runs the Stokes organization feels like a larger stakes villain for Luke Cage because of how the show goes out of its way to make the neighborhood of Harlem a character.

I think the 2012 Avengers trope is still so beloved in fandom is because we all miss what might have been. In their eagerness for a fight scene every 20 minutes, Marvel forgot that a lot of people loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. Post party scene in AoU, there just wasn't time for that among all the fight scenes.
