Messenger Zoe

A Messenger in the form of a teenage Zoe Graystone appears before Zoe as a child, after saving her from the fire that claimed the Graystones' first home ^{(CAP: "Things We Lock Away")}.

A Messenger appeared to Zoe Graystone decades before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies in the form of Zoe herself. The Messenger's first act was to save Zoe from a fire which burned down the Graystones' prior residence, when Zoe was a little girl. She then continued to appear to Zoe, who considered her a friend, periodically. Messenger Zoe had the form of teenage Zoe before Zoe herself entered adolescence.

On one occasion, when Zoe was a teenager and now identical to her Messenger counterpart, Messenger Zoe encouraged her to outdo her father Daniel Graystone by creating life with her computer skills, after they noticed that Daniel had "stolen" the design for the U-87 Cyber Combat Unit from drawings made by Zoe. This suggestion led to the creation of Zoe-A, Zoe's holographic avatar duplicate ^{(CAP: "Things We Lock Away")}.

Messenger Zoe later appears to Zoe-A when the latter is engaged in combat with Tamara-A and several users in New Cap City who blame her for the destruction of Maglev 23. She encourages Zoe-A to be her own person and not accept the blame for Zoe's sins. This leads to Zoe-A convincing Tamara-A to form an alliance ^{(CAP: "Things We Lock Away")}.

An unidentified Zoe sits smiling among Sister Clarice Willow's otherwise entirely Cylon congregation of monotheists in the flash-forward montage at the end of "Apotheosis". The scene precedes Zoe-A's resurrection into the first skinjob body, yet is years after original Zoe's death and Zoe-A's denouncement of Willow.

As with the other teenaged-Zoe's in the series, Messenger Zoe is portrayed by Alessandra Torresani.
