Zoey

Zoey is one of the four playable Survivors in Left 4 Dead, the teenage daughter of a wealthy family.

Zoey's original design was based off of Alesia Glidewell, who also worked with Valve on Portal as a model for the character Chell. However, when the character designs were updated later in development, Zoey was made to resemble actress Sonja Kinski instead.

Official description
After spending her first semester holed up in a dorm room watching old horror movies, Zoey was given a choice: Stop fooling around and get her grades up, or drop out. Now that the planet's overrun with murderous zombies, and all of her professors are dead, Zoey at least has the cold comfort that she's been studying up on the right subject after all.

Trivia

 * Zoey makes multiple references to popular movies throughout the game. Her line, "Game over, man! Game over!" is a reference to the movie Aliens, and "Almost there, almost there!" and "I have a bad feeling about this" are from Star Wars: A New Hope. "It slimed me" is a quote from Ghostbusters.
 * Right before coming to the church in Death Toll, the Survivors come upon a cabin in the woods. This only occurs as Zoey, but she makes a reference to the 1970-1980s cult classic, Evil Dead, starring Bruce Campbell. She says, "Oh, nice, a cabin in the middle of nowhere. I know how this movie ends." The cabin is complete with a mounted deer head.
 * Originally, the developers had the idea of Zoey and Francis showing some sort of affection towards one another. However, this was found to be distracting, and was cut out of the game. Strangely, from quotes, it seems as though she and Louis are closer. Zoey is still quite dramatic when something happens to Francis, however.
 * Zoey also states "Yoink" when picking up certain items. This is a Simpsons reference.
 * Zoey's voice actress, Jen Taylor, also voiced other famous game characters, such as Cortana from the Halo series, Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever 2: A spy in H.A.R.M.'s way and Princess Peach from the Mario franchise. She also recently voiced Lt. Stokes in the game F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
 * Zoey follows a running theme in Jen Taylor's work in which she portrays strong women who undergo extreme stress and begin to show signs of snapping. For example: Cortana in Halo 2 begins to act erratic after Cairo Station is nearly destroyed, claiming to "like crazy." In F.E.A.R 2 after Top is killed, she - Lt. Stokes - experiences a breakdown and begins pacing back and forth and swearing, unable to handle the situation. In Left 4 Dead, she reacts badly to the Zombie's enhanced mobility and tries to claim "Zombie Bullshit". Afterwards, she begins giggling nervously.
 * Zoey made major news site headlines when a nude skin for her was released by a modder. (Links are news sites so they're safe for work)
