Zoe Graystone is the daughter of Daniel Graystone, a brilliant and wealthy Caprican computer engineer (a trait which she inherited) and his wife Amanda Graystone. .

She became a closet monotheist in the polytheistic society of the Twelve Colonies after being introduced to the worship of one God by the headmistress of the Athena Academy, Sister Clarice Willow. She has created in Virtual Reality an exact duplicate of herself that is supposed to be a symbol or instrument to change the world presumably to their monotheistic beliefs and morality system. To that end Zoe tries to leave Caprica, running away from home with her boyfriend Ben Stark, a fanatical monotheist, and her best friend Lacy Rand to live on Gemenon with new families. As they board the high speed Magnetic Levitation subway train (Mag Lev, known colloquially as the 'Lev) Lacy has second thoughts and stays behind as Zoe and Ben ostensibly heads for the port to take a ship to Gemenon but Ben has other intentions. After Zoe sends a goodbye E-mail to her parents, Ben revels a bomb strapped around his torso to her horror. He and Zoe dies when Ben sets of a bomb on the Meglev subway train suicide bombs them both. (Caprica pilot)

After her death, Daniel Graystone downloads his daughter's Virtual Reality avatar into a prototype military soldier robot by her father as the first cybernetic life-form node, a Cylon.

Zoe-A

Before her death, Zoe found a way to upload her memories and DNA into a Virtual Reality hologram, thus creating an online avatar of herself, Zoe-A. She is intended to "change the worlds" and she has been teaching her about the alleged defects of their society that somehow change with the "One true God". She resides in Virtual Reality in a room that only she occupies away from the others participating in the Virtual world. It is bare with just a couch and has high up along its side walls stain glass windows (much like a Christian church in real life). It could only be entered by Zoe, Lacy and presumably Ben. After the suicide bombing, the avatar is left behind and discovered by her father. Similarly, her boyfriend also uploaded his personality into an avatar known as Ben-A.

Zoe's online avatar.

Zoe-R

When Daniel Graystone discovers his daughter's online twin, he decides to recreate Zoe as a robot, using Zoe's avatar and technology stolen from his business competitor, Tomas Vergis. With the help of Joseph Adams's (later Adama) organized crime contacts, whose wife and daughter also died in the same explosion, he offeres a deal to Vergis. After Vergis refuses Adams's business advances, the crime syndicate murders Vergis (possibly with Adams's knowledge) and Adams obtains the technology which he gives to Graystone. With it Zoe-A is downloaded into a robotic brain by her "father" Daniel, and thus becomes Zoe-R, the first version of the Cylons in the Twelve Colonies. (Caprica pilot)

Notes

• The name "Zoe" originally comes from the ancient Greek word for "life", and is used in the New Testament of the Bible 134 times to indicate the "eternal life" or the "life after death" in heaven rewarded to the children of God. This could be a reference to Zoe's own resurrection as Zoe-R, or it could be a religious reference to the Cylons' status as the children of God, or both.
