Zoe Chandler is a former member of the deserters who the Stranger encounters in the abandoned industrial zone in Emerald Vale.

Background

A former employee of the Edgewater Saltuna Cannery, Zoe fell ill with plague and stole more than her allotment of Adrena-Time to treat herself. As a result she was accused of larceny, causing her to flee the town. Like many of those who had deserted the town, Zoe made her way to the Botanical Labs where her illness was treated by Adelaide McDevitt with a green leafy drink twice a day. During her recovery she took to watching aetherwave serials, and would later also watch them with Stefan Garcia.

However, she hated living in the botanical labs and considered it worse than the cannery, because people constantly talked to her. The only two people she could tolerate were Stefan and Grace Romero, the latter who she respected for her ability to use a rifle. Eventually, Zoe's fascination with the serials, particularly The Masked Marketeer, led to her dreaming of becoming the pre-eminent bandit queen of Emerald Vale. Eventually, she decided to realize this dream and throw in with the marauders who lived in the hills of Emerald Vale. To do so, she stocked up on additional rations and Adrena-Time, correctly believing that the marauders could easily be bribed with the drug. She bartered much of her stash to the marauder gang in the Abandoned Industrial Zone and they allowed her to stay, becoming "practically their queen".

Zoe's abrupt disappearance from the Botanical Labs was noted by Grace Romero, who is worried that she has been captured by marauders. However, Grace is unable to go look for Zoe herself, as she is the only one at the Botanical Labs able to handle a gun and therefore defend the camp. Grace asks the Stranger for help in locating and bringing Zoe back to the deserters camp.

When the marauder gang in the Abandoned Industrial Zone is defeated by the Stranger, Zoe expresses her admiration for their skills and asks them to teach her their ways. She can be convinced to rejoin the deserters and return to the Botanical Labs. If she returns, she will tell Stefan that she escaped the clutches of the marauders by fighting her way out with her bare hands.
