Quote #1
It was like staring into the face of a familiar stranger. You know, that person you see in a crowd and swear you know, but you really don't? Now she was me—the familiar stranger. (1.56)
The first time Zoey looks in a mirror after being Marked, it's a really bizarre experience for her. She still has the same features, obviously—hazel eyes, long dark brown hair—but the crescent moon in the middle of her forehead makes her look foreign, exotic, totally different. How is she supposed to cope with looking in the mirror and seeing someone who's her and yet not her?
Quote #2
Okay the first thing I noticed was that everyone who had a solid vampyre tattoo was incredibly good-looking. (7.105)
At the House of Night, Zoey's surrounded by a ton of vampyres as well as fledglings like herself. And she's quick to notice that all the vampyres are hot. It seems to be a side effect of being Marked and surviving the Change: total physical perfection. Let's just say we can think of worse perks.
Quote #3
Anyway, the Mark somehow made my eyes look even bigger and darker. I lined them with a smoky black shadow that had little sparkly flecks of silver in it. Not heavily like those loser girls who think that plastering on black eyeliner makes them look cool. Yeah, right. They look like scary raccoons. (11.14)
Zoey decides to put on a little makeup before going to school when she first arrives at the House of Night. It sounds like she's already pretty, so she doesn't need much makeup to make her features shine—but at the same time, she comes off as kind of judgmental about chicks who choose to enhance their appearance with more makeup than she thinks is appropriate.
