“	You know, I didn't have friends before coming to the College, so there's a lot I didn't get. But that doesn't feel like something you should say to a friend.	„

Zoe Ivy (ゾーイ・アイビー) is a major character in season 2 of the anime/manga series of The Ancient Magus' Bride. He is a half-Gorgon and half-human, born to a wizard and a Gorgon that fell in love.

He is voiced by Daiki Kobayashi in Japanese and by Lee George in English.

Appearance[]

He has chin length light green hair. He normally keeps headphones on and wears some kind of device around his neck, over his tie in order to keep his Gorgon powers in check. Whenever he takes off his headphones, he has black snakes coming out of the end of his hair. He has a male student uniform and the robes to match it as well.

Personality[]

He seems to have some self-esteem issues due to the fact that as a half-gorgon, he straddled the line between both sides. He was initially shown to be somewhat terrified and disheveled from being around Chise and Elias. He later becomes outright hostile, viewing them as monsters in hiding due to how his body and hair reacted when in their presence and it being his first time outside of his own community. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, he apologizes and he becomes much friendlier. He later develops a crush on Lucy Webster.

His snakes are shown to have consciousness on their own as they are pretty friendly and affectionate when Chise approached them.

Biography[]

Past[]

Zoe was hatched from an egg after a wizard who was studying demihuman languages fell in love with a gorgon living in the Caucus Mountain, Zoe was raised by his father until he decided to send him to the College so that he could continue his research.

Present[]

Just like Chise, he only started attending the College in the current year. Before then, he lived in a small community without a lot of people due to the fact that he could not control his powers. He joined Chise and Elias at lunch, but quickly left and ran away from the cafeteria while panicking that they would have come after him for noticing something about him. He referred to them as not being human.

Later on he is being checked up on by Alexandra, the College's nurse, due to a medical condition he suffers from. When she asks him if he's noticed any potential sources of stress in his life as of recently, he asks her if she knows anything about Chise. She assures him that they are normal.

He continues to view them as monsters and avoids them until one day, Chise tries to ask if she had done anything to offend them. When he refuses to answer, Lucy removes his headphones and demands he answer. However, the removal of his headphones causes his hair to transform into writhing snakes as he calls Chise and Elias monsters. Chise and Ruth track him down with the others to learn of his history after convincing him to settle down, and he explains that part of why he thought they weren't human was due to the smell of the Dragon's Curse that Chise is under and how it affects his body around her. He also states he can smell something else about her, but before he can ask what, they find that Philomela was eavesdropping on them.

During lockdown when Philomela was corrupted by the Book of Testament and left the College to go back to Lizbeth's house, he decided to go with Chise and the company and help save Philamela from being fully corrupted. They crossed paths with the female werewolf, upon which Zoe tells the others to go on ahead while he and Fabio hold off the werewolf off on their own.
