Biography
Daughter to a successful traveling businessman and a semi-famous dancer, Zipporah was born into a rich family. Despite this, Zipporah grew to resent her upper class life and ultimately leading Zipporah to becoming a goth.

Nowadays, Zipporah lives a typical gothic lifestyle; wearing only black, listening to screamo, reading dark literature, and being ‘artsy’. She’s become good friends with the other goths at her school as well, who are actually pretty well liked. Zipporah’s family is extremely sociable to her new friends as well. Zipporah doesn’t care to interact with most people and thinks most people need to be more aware of the world and differences around them.

Zipporah is irked by stereotypes, especially about gothic subculture. And yes, she acknowledges the irony in saying that while she couldn’t be more of Hollywood’s idea of goth if she was in a Tim Burton movie.

Zipporah was chosen after having been seen performing slam poetry by one of the show’s scouts, when looking for an ‘outsider’ type contestant. Zipporah’s friends and families urged her to join and she reluctantly agreed in hopes of using the money to avoid college debt. Her parents think the experience will be good for her and make Zipporah more aware of the world and differences around her.
