Zouxie

Zouxie is the het ship between Douxie Casperan and Zoe from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Canon
Douxie and Zoe are wizards living in Arcadia who work two jobs and one of those jobs are right next door to one another, with Zoe working in the record store that is next the book shop Douxie works in when he isn't working as a waiter. Along with Zoe's second has her working beside Arcadia's other hidden wizards at Hex Tech. How the two met or how long they know is each other wasn't revealed in Wizards, but it does give the impression that they may have know one another for a long time. Since Douxie and Merlin are proof that wizards have longer lifespans.

When Douxie and his allies needed a place to hide from the Arcane Order, he sees Zoe in the window of Hex Tech and decides to seek her help. Before Merlin had Douxie gather the Guardians of Arcadia, he had agreed to hunt down Niffins with Zoe and then get burgers after words, but Merlin's orders had Douxie cancel those plans and Zoe wasn't happy about it. That is why she scalded him about it

Quotes
Wizards Undergronud "Hisirdoux Casperan, you have a lot of nerve! We were supposed to hunt niffins and get burgers, remember?"

Fanon
Before Wizards reveals Douxie and Zoe being wielders of magic who know each other, fans have had suspicions on the subject and belive that they know each other, since the shops they work in being next door to each other didn't feel like a coincidence. There is also the fact that Zoe has a similar punk emo style and works in a rescored store, and since Douxie is in a bands some believe that Zoe is one of his bandmates. There have also been a few theories of the two meeting one another in the past before they came to Arcadia together. Since Zoe knows Douxie's full name and dislikes Merlin has got a few fans to believe that she might had been one of the wizards who Douxie's master had manged to save from Arthur's wrath.

Some Zouxie fans see Zoe as Douxie's Claire, and that is why they were upset that Wizards only had one Zouxie-like scene and that Zoe and Douxie time together in it was very brief. Even though it gave fans an idea what the canon relationship between them is like, with Zoe acting like a sister who tries to keep her brother-like figure in line. From the way she scolded him for meeting up with her like they planned and telling him to not touch anything, but is still willing to lend him a hand when needed. There have also been those who believe that the two might be roommates and battle partners, as their fanart depicts Zoe patching up Douxie's battle wounds and helping with his magic training. Zoe's first know job and Douxie's foundness for music has also inspired fans to draw them dancing or playing music together, while her connection to Douxie has fans add Zoe in their group art of ToA's main young characters and couples.

On AO3, the ship currently has 27 fanfics on the romantic side of the ship and only 18 in the friendship side of it. Along with Zouxie having a reasonable side fanbase on Tumblr.
