Zoe is one of the two new romanceable main NPCs added in Monster Prom: Second Term, add-on content to the base game. She appears in the base game, but more on her identity is elaborated in the add-on content. She’s a trans woman who used to be an ancient asexual deity who went by the pronouns, “it/its” (as confirmed here). She talks about transitioning, deadnames, and pronouns throughout various events in the story, in addition to facing transphobia from certain characters, and one of her secret endings revolves around her learning to love herself and her identity while receiving support from her friends who love her.

- Monsterprom. (2018, June 9). I mean, she used to be an ancient asexual deity (using “it”) that now identifies as female, and so I guess that you can accept she is either trans or at least the fantastic/monsterish version of the concept that still works as a parallel (: [Tweet].
