Zoey Patricia Bartlet is a fictional character played by Elisabeth Moss on the television serial drama The West Wing. Zoey is the youngest of President Josiah Bartlet and Abbey Bartlet's three daughters.
Zoey and presidential aide Charlie Young became romantically involved in the first season of The West Wing. Their interracial relationship prompted a white supremacist organization to target Young unsuccessfully for assassination, although both President Bartlet and Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman were injured in the shooting.
Zoey and Charlie's relationship ended sometime during the second season, largely due to Charlie's demanding work schedule. By the fourth season, Zoey is seen dating a young Frenchman by the name of Jean Paul Pierre Claude Charpentier.
Zoey graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University. On her graduation day, she was briefly kidnapped, which led President Bartlet to invoke the 25th Amendment, transferring presidential authority to Speaker of the House Glen Allen Walken as Acting President of the United States. Jean Paul's complicity in the kidnapping ended their relationship. Later, in the sixth season, Charlie and Zoey are shown to have resumed their relationship, with Charlie even considering asking Zoey to marry him. No mention is made of the relationship, or her occupation, in the seventh and final season.
Her Secret Service codename is "Bookbag". She was born around 1980. Her birthday is in November.
