personality
Zosia is known to be a very quiet individual, especially when you first meet her. In fact, Zosia won't dare speak to a stranger unless she has to, and when she does, she is very quiet about it. Strangers will often ask Zosia to speak up, causing her to panic because she is not sure how to make her voice clearer to strangers, especially with a bit of an accent from speaking German. 

Zosia is also quite vulnerable a lot of the time, making her easy to pick on. The poor girl will usually just let it happen, because eventually it's over and she can move on. Though Zosia is vulnerable a lot of the time, she can be sarcastic with strangers who pity her in a condescending way, and she tends to mess with them when she is annoyed.

Zo loves to craft, so she is very creative! She will make pins and little trinkets, she's always thinking in colour, coming up with great ideas. Crafting and creating is something she can do with her hands, so you will often see her doing that. With friends, Zosia is a lot more warm and open, a little more talkative. Though her voice is still quiet, she likes to joke with her friends and tends to use a bit of sarcasm. Zosia  is a very sweet girl who will help out her friends and do a lot for them, and of course, she loves making them pins!

When it comes to hard situations though, Zo is very sensitive. She struggles to speak up for herself and her friends. She is sensitive to some actions and noises, and some things can certainly make her spiral. Zosia has trouble holding herself up (figuratively and literally) she is prone to panic attacks often. She can be very blind to red flags in friends and people, usually Zo just lets people do whatever they want to her, such as bully her, then she waits until they finish. Zo often can't tell the difference between someone who is being genuinely nice to her and someone who isn't, especially if she is attached to said person.

Though Zosia has trouble asking for help and fending for herself and others, she will show her love in other ways by making people little creations and sending them warm smiles.

backstory
Zosia was born in Belgium in a  German family. She was then sent away and adopted at the age of 4, by an American family, where she grew up learning English all while keeping her German in tact (thanks to her mother). Zosia had trouble adjusting  to an American family at such a young age, and her father would always become frustrated when Zosia did not understand something, but her mother was patient with her.

Zosia's father is an alcoholic, and he's not a very good person. He would often hurt Zosia, which her mother would not take, and then there'd be arguments between both parents. When Zosia was 13, her parents got divorced, after Zo's father pushed her mother into the wall, making a hole. Zosia had woken up and walked down the stairs only to see her father being arrested that night.

Zosia lived with her mother after that, things were mainly calm and her mother would show her how to make different crafts, which peaked Zo's interest for crafts. Zosia was also very interested in dancing, taking a few classes at school. Zo's father lived elsewhere, and Zosia ended up finding a hobby in making pins and strange little trinkets, especially for her friends, though Zo didn't have many due to how shy she can be when she first meets people. Zosia would dance and craft in her free time.

When Zosia was 15, she was returning from a dance recital at night, and was kidnapped. Zo was taken and put into a car by a man, who happened to be her father. Something Zosia's mother had never taught her was self defense, Zosia was unable to fight back. At a stop, when her father got out of the car to get something, Zosia was able to escape the car by crawling into the front seat and unlocking the back doors. Zosia's father got back a little too late, and got into the car, backing up and hitting Zosia, knocking her unconscious. He then got out to retrieve her, but a bystander noticed him and called the police. In a panic, Zo's father got back into his car, leaving Zosia behind the car, still unconscious. He mistakenly put the car into reverse, which hurt Zosia's legs and permanently damaged them, before driving away at top speed. The bystander called ambulances and Zosia was taken for treatment.

Luckily they didn't have to cut her legs off, though Zosia would be in a wheelchair permanently from now on unless she got proper surgery. Zosia now lives half in the hospital and half in an apartment with her roommate. Though her dancing dreams ended, Zosia still makes little pins, crafts and trinkets every day. She does a lot of activities that she can do with her hands instead. Zo still visits her mother occasionally, though she spends most of her time "on her own" (with help of course).

Zo sometimes believes that one day she could walk and dance again, but being in a wheelchair doesn't necessarily bother her anymore, she's used to it. (despite that she's always rolling into poles and walls-) No matter how many people hurt her, Zo's friends are always there for her, and that's what she thinks matters.
