Zoe Isabelle Besson is the main protagonist of Liar Exposed and a Year 9 student in Perth Secondary School. She is the younger adoptive sister of Josh and is of Filipino origin.

As her everyday wear, she wears a white shirt, black jeans and white shoes. She is shown to have a small height and is short compared to her peers.

Video Game
Her video game appearance is a bit similar to her manga counterpart. However, she is shown to have chin-length brown hair, brown eyes and light skin. She still wears the same outfit as her manga counterpart but with minor differences. Her jeans are cropped and her bracelet is replaced by a white watch. She also appears to be a bit taller than her manga counterpart due to being 15 in the game.

Teen Drama
The teen drama version of Zoe combines her manga and video game counterparts. This time, she has neck-length brown hair, brown eyes and light skin with a tan tint. She is a bit shorter than her video game counterpart and a bit taller than her manga counterpart. Her usual outfit consists of a white shirt, black cropped jeans and white converse-like shoes. However, she has a wide variety of outfits in her wardrobe. Her student uniform (although student uniforms weren't used in the manga and video game) consists of a white untucked blouse with a red ribbon, a red plaid skirt, white socks and white sneakers. Her PE uniform consists of a red and white polo shirt, black track pants and white sneakers. Her sleepwear consists of a white shirt and dark blue track pants. Unlike the manga and video game, she brings a teal sling bag with her consisting of important things she needs.

Personality
Zoe is a straight A student and has a bright mind. She does academically well compared to Josh. She is a lot smarter than any other girls her age. She is also outgoing, friendly, polite, independent and kind-hearted. Zoe is shown to be tomboyish and she loves venturing outdoors, playing video games and doing boyish stuff. She is also childish and she loves manga and keeps a stuffed giraffe named Daniel in hers and Josh's room.

Like Josh, she doesn't like liars and she is sick of Kayla faking her mental health issues. She is athletic and strong and is self-taught in martial arts. Zoe is stated to have multiple brain cells while Josh stated to only have 1. She also gets frustrated easily due to grades and dealing with a liar. She is also supportive towards Josh and her other friends. She even deeply cares for him.

When Josh fell ill with an unknown illness in the teen drama adaptation, she fell depressed and lost a lot of weight. Her grades went down because of that. This causes her to be bullied by Kayla due to her frail body and the fact that Josh isn't with her. Despite this, she still has strength and is able to stand up for herself. She would still get upset after Josh recovered, however, Josh still cheers her up and made his sister feel better again.

Later, Zoe fell depressed again after having a fight with her Canadian friend, Linda. Linda got mad at her for 'bullying' Kayla even though Annah and Kandace both told her that Kayla lies a lot and if they don't stop her, she would continue lying. Josh was still in class and he couldn't be there for her which made her more depressed. Despite all the challenges she faced, she always faces the bright side of life and doesn't let her own mental health issues ruin it for her.

Manga
Zoe was born in 2006 in the Philippines and was found in a trash can by her adoptive parents and brother. She doesn't have an adoptive older sister. Unknown to her new adoptive family, she might have extraordinary powers she will use in her teenage years. She has been doing well in school and is popular towards her classmates. She also gets along with her brother really well. Not much of her pre-series life was known and revealed in the manga.

Video Game
Not much of her pre-series life was known in the video game either. The only thing the players know is that Zoe was born in the Philippines in 2005 and was adopted to an Australian family.

Teen Drama
Like the manga, Zoe was born in 2006 in the Philippines. However, there is a specific location of where she was born and it was revealed that Zoe was born in Manila. She was raised alongside her adoptive mother, father, sister and brother in the outer suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. Her sister, Addison, moved to Sydney, New South Wales a year before the series to attend university. Zoe grew closer to her brother. It is also revealed that she was found in a trash can because her biological parents' tribe chief wanted them to get rid of the baby since they don't want a mixed blood in the tribe and her biological mum, an indigenous woman must divorce with her biological father who is half Spanish half American
