Biography[]
Early Life[]
Pre-War[]
Zoe was born to Leo and Ros Wingfield. She was named after her late paternal grandmother. She was presented at Midsommer and her birth was celebrated by the Wingfield family.
Her parents were very loving, but at times struggled to provide for her financially. Leo was very depressed over his inability to work and Ros had difficulties with her job at Durmstrang.
Ros worked long hours to provide for the family, so Zoe spent most of her time with her father. He enjoyed watching clouds with her and teaching her about weather. Zoe often saw other Wingfields and enjoyed playing with her cousins.
Second Wizarding War[]
In the Second Wizarding War, both of her parents were determined to participate. They fought to their limits and were both killed in a battle to liberate people captured by the Death Eaters.
Zoe struggled to accept their death. Andrew Creighton heard that she had been orphaned and almost immediately decided to adopt her. They took Zoe back to her former home to collect her things before bringing her to their home.

Vivian Wingfield refused to give up her legal guardianship of Zoe unless Ethan accepted a position as the next head of the Wingfield family. At one point, she and her husband took Zoe away from Andrew and Ethan and brought her to their home in Sweden. Zoe was completely miserable with them and was extremely anxious. about what might happen to Andrew. Eventually, Antonella Waterson was contacted for help and she convinced Vivian and Conrad to return Zoe.

In America, Zoe began participating in Quidditch training for children. Here she met and eventually forged a strong bond with Nathan Wilson.
When Ethan and Andrew participated in the final battle of the war, Zoe and the other children were watched by Isaac Lloyd. Zoe panicked as she thought about her new parents dying and caused a burst of magic, breaking several windows.
