All I took away from zoe's short story is that she's the villain

She walks into a town, disrupts the life there, and when people freak out instead of competently realizing she's terrifying to them and trying to rectify the situation, she just blows up the village?

That sounds like a villain thing to me.

And that was supposed to be her 'message'

So she's the new Harbinger of Doom? Glad to see fiddlesticks was replaced.

I get she's supposed to be a playful child-spirit thing, but any playful child would've understood that murdering an entire town with a comet isn't fun or playful.

Also Aurelion is in there for some reason.
