"Dad, this is my home. And I want you to fight for it." "You know I've been hurt in the past year twice already." "I know. and that was scary, but you taught me to be brave and face up to the things that scare me."

- Zoe and Rene Ramirez

Zoe Ramirez is the daughter of Rene Ramirez and the late Laura Ramirez.

Early life
Zoe was born to Rene and Laura Ramirez. She lived with her family in Star City. Growing up, Zoe developed an interest in hockey like her father and the two would often attend games together.

In March 2016, Zoe was preparing to go with her family to a hockey game when she heard her parents arguing. Realizing this, she interrupted them, saying they were going to be late. Rene denied that he and her mother were fighting and told her that Laura won't be coming to the game. Laura then advised Zoe to grab her coat, as it was going to be cold that night. Although suspicious, Zoe accepted this and she and her father left.

When they returned home from the game, the house was a mess and Rene told Zoe to go to her room and get ready for bed. Minutes later, Zoe came downstairs and saw a man (Laura's drug dealer) holding her mother at gunpoint, much to her shock. Suddenly, the dealer knocked her mother aside and began shooting at her father, causing Zoe to scream in terror. After Rene shot and killed the dealer, Zoe found her mother dead on the ground from the man's stray bullet. When Rene rushed to her and asked if she was okay, Zoe tearfully showed him her mother's body. Her father hugged her as she cried.

After her mother's death, Zoe continued living with her father for a while, though he was constantly drinking. One night, he was reheating some soup for dinner but passed out, intoxicated. Zoe tried to take the pot off the stove by herself, but severely burned her hand and began crying in pain, which woke Rene up. Following this incident, Zoe was taken away from her father by child services and placed in a foster home.

Reuniting with her father
Zoe continued to attend school in Star City, eventually becoming the goalie on her school's hockey team. In April 2017, Quentin Lance arranged for Zoe to visit her dad in City Hall. Zoe was delighted to see her father and the two of them caught up. After talking to both his daughter and Quentin, Rene decided to start the legal process of regaining custody of Zoe, much to her joy.

Several weeks later at the custody hearing however, Rene didn't show up (having been captured by Adrian Chase ) and Zoe was left disappointed.

Five months later in October, Oliver Queen arranged for Rene to get a second chance at regaining custody of Zoe.

In November, F.B.I. agent Samanda Watson received evidence from Cayden James that Zoe's father was Wild Dog. Using this, she threatened to have Zoe taken away from him permanently unless Rene agreed to testify that Oliver was Green Arrow. In December, Zoe was officially reunited with her father. They returned home together, where Rene presented Zoe with a vase of sunflowers as a gift.

Several weeks later in January 2018, Rene prepared lunch for Zoe and excitedly detailed their trip to the zoo after school. However, Zoe was concerned that her father wasn't going to work and asked if she would have to leave again. Rene claimed he was simply "going through a transitional period" and assured Zoe that nobody would take her away. Curtis Holt then arrived and Zoe happily greeted him. Rene told her to get ready for school while he and Curtis talked.

In March, Zoe was informed by Curtis that her father was in the hospital, much to her worry. She was subsequently taken care of by Curtis until Rene recovered.

Later, Rene recovers then began taking care of Zoe again before reconciling with Oliver.

Possible future


When she grew up, Zoe became the Chief of Staff for her father, the Mayor of the Glades. Secretly, she also was one of the few vigilantes to help save Star City, alongside Dinah Drake.

Sometime after becoming a vigilante, she met up with William, Dinah and Roy Harper at Smoak Technologies.
