Zoey was an Octoling war veteran of the Great Turf War, casually minding her own business within Octo Valley; she was a double-agent, seemingly working on behalf of the Inkling, when in fact, she was attempting to sabotage the Inkling's attempts to win the war. Despite her contribution, the Octarians still lost the war and Zoey plans to reside in Octo Valley in peace when Dr. Zack came in and offer her to make her more powerful. When Zoey accepted the offer, she became part of Dr. Zack's experiments. Dr. Zack plans to remove her of her Ink trait, thus giving her total immunity to all of the different colors of Ink (think of it as a prism; when light enters a glass prism, a rainbow appears).

However, there was one problem: it's impossible for an Inkling/Octoling to have no Ink trait. Therefore, when Zoey first came out of the vat that removed her ink trait, she only melted into a puddle of multi-colored Ink. To fix the problem, Dr. Zack installed a machine that forces her body to keep its form, and the impossible was made possible; an Ink-trait-less Octoling was born.

When Zoey learns of Dr. Zack's plans of world domination, she used her old deception tactics to trick Dr. Zack into showing her the armory, where she grabs the weapons she needs and made her escape, bypassing Dr. Zack's security with her fast-reacting skills and expert strategizing. When she made it to the exit, there was only one person standing in her way: Johnny McSplat, Dr. Zack's artificial Inkling (who also coined Zoey's catchphrase, "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"). Even though Johnny holding the advantage of having better weaponry and skills, Zoey's extreme durability and stamina she got from the experiment gave her the victory.

She escaped Dr. Zack's base and plans to live a quiet life in the streets. However, she was approached by Alan's agents, who offered a spot in the HyperTech Agency. Wanting to use her newfound powers for good (and money), she joined, working as a ruthless and admired Hyper Agent of the Agency, while working undercover as a kind and favorited secretary in the industrial branch of the whole operations.
