Zane is the leader of the Crims, a clique in New Pretty Town. Although Zane is a pretty and has the same brain lesions as everyone else, he has learned that by starving himself and drinking large amounts of caffeine that he can make himself bubbly, or clearer. Zane once thought he would run away with a group of friends to the Smoke, but chickened out at the last minute and then confessed all when confronted by Special Circumstances. For this reason, Zane is filled with guilt and he tries hard to find a way to remain bubbly permanently.
