Zane Ro’Meave

Personality:   Zane grew up with with his parents and was the middle child out of his two brothers. Garroth, his older brother, would often roughhouse and tease him. Zane and his two brothers would often play out in the snow together. One winter as kids, Garroth threw a snowball at Zane and hit his eye, blinding him. Zane and his family would vacation at the Bunny Hill Lodge. At some point, Zane was taken to the Bunny Hill Lodge with his whole family. His father, Garte, Terrence/Michael, Zack, and Derek bought the lodge together. Zane met Travis and possibly Aphmau and Aaron there, but seemed to have forgotten this encounter. Zane seems to dislike Garroth greatly, as his relation to him has caused his teachers and his classmates to expect more from a Ro'Meave family member. When he first heard of the Shadow Knights, he found the group fitting for him as he wanted to join, but he was constantly rejected. Zane was seen laughing with constant pestering. He was also hit in the throat by a volleyball which caused his voice to instantly deepen. In season 2, after Gene graduated, Zane is accepted into the Shadow Knights. Even though he's in the group, he is told to get lost and called annoying. Because of this and Zane's attempts to get Sasha and Zenix to accept them, he is kicked out. He soon decides to vandalize the cafeteria to show how "hardcore" the Shadow Knights are. When Aph, Sasha, and Zenix are blamed for this, he enters Principal Layla's office and tells er to not bother suspending them, for they didn't commit the crime. He then shows the principal and gym teacher video evidence of himself spray painting the walls so that "low-life losers" would not get credit for his work. Before Aphmau leaves, she tells Zane that she's disappointed in him, but he tells her that he doesn't care. The Shadow Knights offer to let Zane back into the group, but he declines, admitting that he realized that they were the ones not hardcore enough for him. He tells them that he's going to create his own gang which he later names the Jury. It is unclear what Zane did for the next two years, but it was stated by Aph that he put the school through literal hell, but not enough to get him expelled like Ein or held back a year like Jax or Ryder. It was also confirmed that he got some Shadow Knights to join his gang and that he would use them to beat up other students, with the werewolves having to intervene and defeat the Shadow Knights. Zane is the leader of the neighborhood watch. He also takes a part-time job working as security in the mall. In Episode 11, Zane tries to ruin Christmas because he felt left out. While he is robbing Aphs house, she comes downstairs and convinces him to stop with a present meant for him. In the same episode, Aph is seen kissing Zane on the cheek under the mistletoe (the other boys freaked out). In "Maid for the Job", Aph and Zane switch clothes, and Garroth, Laurence, Travis, and Dante see Zane in Aphs purple maid outfit and Aphmau wearing his red and black clothes. In MyStreet, Zane began as an antagonistic character, wanting to seek revenge at any given opportunity. He distanced himself from the main group and preferred to do things solo, believing that he was unwanted. Another difference between Zane from the main series and Zane from MyStreet is that Zane isn't very evil, he is nice deep down, and actually has a heart. One main difference is that Aph's viewers don't want to kill Zane on MyStreet, and there is a new ship for them, called Zanemau (though Jess crack-shipped it before adding any Zanemau hints in MyStreet). It is also discovered that Zane can be sweet and nice and has a soft spot for animals, as seen when he takes Aph (in cat form) home. As the series progressed, Zane became more comfortable around Aph and the rest of friends, besides Zane opened up to Aph , even showing her his interest in My Little Horsie (a parody of My Little Pony), and hanging out occasionally. He was dragged by Aph to produce a play for Katelyn. His role was to act as Tybalt, but also scout for a location later revealed to be the community theatre. Befriending Aph showed him to have a kinder side, caring about Aphs well-being while she was nervous to participate in the play and encourage her that she would do fine. Although he turned over a new leaf, he still holds on to some of his sarcastic and rude side, as he showed no care about Katelyn's play, which Aph scolds him for. He finds it difficult to be friendly and be more social, but he strives to become a better person and expands his number of friends. Zane is particularly in favor of Aph and Aaron to be in a relationship shown in the Valentine's Day arc. He showed respect to Aaron, who he finds easier to communicate with and prefers his docile and calm attitude to that of loud and boisterous Garroth and Laurence. It has been proven for Zane to have slight feelings for Aph, and he discovers this in "Aph In Love". He continues being her loyal friend, denying his feelings until Aaron asks him. Zane respects Aphmau and Aaron's relationship, but he still is very close at heart to Aphmau. Zane returns in MyStreet: Love~Love Paradise, continuing his role as the series' anti-hero. In the first episode, when Zane arrives at the pier he recognizes the building as 'the legendary Love~Love Paradise!' which he recognizes from being advertised on his 'My Little Pony' show which Garroth teases him for. As Zane continues his beach vacation he makes it very obvious the sun hated him and he hated the sun which explains his pale skin. At the beach he discovers Aph can't swim and starts mocking her but Aph tries to catch him out by asking what his favorite feature is about the beach. In the middle of the season, he becomes close to KC where it is implied she has a crush on him. After Gene comes to the island, Aph puts a lot of effort into making sure Zane doesn't know about Gene because she's scared he'll try to impress him and all of her friendship progress will be ruined. At the end of the season, while on the cruise, Zane finally meets Gene and we find out Zane actually hates Gene and wants nothing to do with him. Dante and Zane both mention that they have been hanging out more this summer, possibly due to them being roommates while they are at the resort. They can be seen together in the background just hanging out on multiple occasions. During this season, Zane takes a backseat to most of the plot and usually appears once or twice an episode, more often than not at the beach house. After thanking his mom for helping everyone on the original MyStreet aside from Vylad find houses, he walks off, saying he's going to find a house alone. After looking around, Zane tells Garroth that he needs to live with him because he doesn't have enough money saved to live on his own. Garroth happily accepts, despite Laurance's protests. He then, along with the others, goes to Aphs to eat sandwiches. At the beginning of episode two, he is seen with Garroth and Laurence, wearing a "She's my Best Friend!" shirt with a picture of Aph on the front that she made for him. Zane then complains about the mess in the house, even though they were only there for a day. They then agree to go furniture shopping. He goes over to Aph and Aaron's house to find a place to buy furniture. They go to Ikea, where Aph gets easily lost. Garroth and Laurence get quickly distracted before Zane says that they should find Aph and asks Aaron what they came there for. They find Aph sleeping on a bed before Aph and Zane get excited over Halloween decorations. From Episode 5 and on, Zane showed some affection with KC. As you can see him blushing at KC from time to time and gets a little jealous when Damien is around her. In episode 19 Zane calls Aph because he wants to see what she's up to when he realizes that she sounds off. When she says she's sick Zane immediately overreacts and runs straight to her house to see what he can do to help her. He runs out of her house to get soup at the supermarket and returns at the end of the episode with the soup but catches Aphs cold and is last seen in that episode at his house with Gene, Garroth, and Laurance. Throughout the season, most of the cast expresses concerns about Zane and Aphmau's friendship, exclaiming that they think that Zane is a bad influence on Aph, overly clingy, and toxic. After Aph and Aaron's break, at the urging of Katelyn and Lucinda, Aph lashes out at Zane about this and they take a break for about two weeks and reunite in the Side Story episode where they switch bodies. During season three, Zane became the defacto scapegoat for most of the conflict in the season. This includes Aaron and Aphs breakup, where both Aph and Aaron blamed Aphs selfishness and expanding the business on him. Zane has black hair with bangs that cover his right eye. He is said to wear a bun according to Aphmau in Season 1, which he had until Season 6. This is because in a livestream, Jess has stated that Zane has an undercut during Season 6 to make combat and running easier because a fan had asked why parts of his hair appeared lighter. He has pale skin with freckles, (which are almost always covered by his face mask), and light blue eyes, with the eye covered by bangs being blind. Zane is reserved and tends to be easily annoyed with topics and acts he finds "idiotic", always saying sarcastic remarks and claims whenever it was initiated. He usually distance himself from others and likes to be alone. He may come off as rude, arrogant, and heartless at first, but he is has a caring heart towards the people he cares about and loves. However, due to life events, he has a hard time opening his heart to others. Despite his exterior, Zane is very intuitive and well-spoken with his words and feelings. He has a big soft spot, and even played with and cared for who he thought was baby Laurance despite their strong rivalry. Back at Phoenix Drop High he was seen to be cruel and cold, usually seen reading a book, causing his brother to call him as a "nerd." It was revealed that his reasoning for acting coldly was to be an accepted by a group called Shadow Knights, lead by Gene, because he thought they'd understand him. Later then he made his own gang called the Jury. Zane may seem like the type to be interested in the darkness or any relation in dark acts, but it was revealed that he has a secret fondness towards ponies. Despite being the King of Grudge Holding, Zane is fully capable of getting over whatever ill will he had in the past, as seen in Starlight Wonderland, he had recently developed a liking towards KC, who he formerly found intolerable. KC trusted him enough to talk about her backstory and her real name, Nana. Zane has a sort of resentment towards his older brother, Garroth, due to his upbringing and how often they were compared. Despite being the middle child in the family, Zane is much more more mature and responsible than him, being once the leader of the neighborhood committee in MyStreet Season 1. But as the series goes on, he has grown to be more caring and considerate towards him, apologizing for his cruel acts back in the day and maintaining a mature relationship between the two, but still keeping their comedic personalities and acts. Due to his upbringing, Zane has a pretty low self esteem and is constantly in a state of identity crisis. Despite multiple seasons of Aphs "friendship lessons", this part of his character has remained pretty stagnant. His low self image greatly affects the way he views himself: he considers himself to be ugly, doesn't believe he has any important skills, much less any talents, and views his life experiences as less important than other people's, notably how he only focused on Aph and Aaron's trauma after the events of the lodge and never brought up his personal experiences like the harassment from ghost or the kidnapping or the confrontation with Garroth. It also doesn't help that for most of the series, most of the cast either hates him or doesn't respect him, so he's constantly treated like he's less important and is occasionally straight up infantilized. Zane's good at planning and scheming, and is usually happiest working on some sort of convoluted plan, whether it's something tame like assisting Aph with franchising in season 3 or something more along the lines of tricking Laurance into dating him because Laurance texts loudly. More often then not, his plans are successful, and most of the failures can be attributed to things outside of his control.
