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, and is featured more prominently in the series than either of her sisters. Zoey and presidential aide Charlie Young become romantically involved in the first season of The West Wing. Their interracial relationship prompts a white supremacist organization to target Young unsuccessfully for assassination, although both President Bartlet and Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman are badly wounded in the shooting.Zoey and Charlie's relationship ends in the second season, largely due to Charlie's demanding work schedule. By the fourth season, Zoey is seen dating a young French man named Jean-Paul Pierre Claude Charpentier.Zoey graduates summa cum laude from Georgetown University. On her graduation day, she is kidnapped and held for several days, which leads 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 unintentional complicity in the kidnapping (he spikes her drink with what he thinks is ecstasy, but is actually GHB) ends 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.According to President Bartlet, Zoey speaks fluent Italian. Her Secret Service codename is "Bookbag". Her birthday is in December, which is established in the episode "In the Room".
