Zora Greenleaf

Zora Greenleaf is the daughter, and eldest child, of Kerissa and Jacob Greenleaf.

Season 1
In the first episode of Season One, it is revealed that Zora takes Ritalin (even though she does not have ADD or ADHD) and smokes marijuana. She implies that she does this because of her overbearing mother, who is the principal and owner of Excellence Preparatory Academy. Essentially, if there is even the slightest inkling that her academic performance is slipping, her mother is very tough on her.

Season 2
In Season 2, she starts seeing Isaiah Hambrick, a gospel musician who attends Triumph Church when he is not on tour. Immediately, he is portrayed as sketchy. He talks to Sophia and pretends to like her to get to Zora, which hurts Sophia's feelings until she starts seeing Roberto.

Zora and Isaiah begin a relationship. The relationship starts off as controlling, but Zora does not realize how controlling he is and just thinks Sophia is jealous. Zora changes her eating habits, starts exercising (in one episode she is constantly measuring her heart rate in a PE class), and hangs out with Sophia less and less. She even manipulates Sophia to try to use her birthday present (a new car) to stay out late and drink, to which she declines to Zora's dismay.

In the last episode of Greenleaf, Isaiah is revealed later on to be verbally and physically abusive. He grabs Zora and yells at her for telling him he was flat in front of his friends in a recording studio. This upsets Zora as she is ready to leave.

Season 2 Finale
Zora Greenleaf is revealed to be a rising senior along with Sophia at Excellence Preparatory Academy. She maintains a weighted GPA of 4.2. She is active in the Youth and Audio/Visual ministries at Triumph Church.

Fan Theories
In the last few moments of the Season 2 Finale, it was discovered that Zora's belongings were missing by her parents, and Isaiah's parents said his belongings were gone. The scene before this shows Jacob and Kerissa having a conversation about Zora and Kerissa says, "There's something in her that's broken or unfinished that feels that she deserves that." Jacob then says, "Faith was the same way." and discussed how Faith had a boyfriend who abused her as well.

Some viewers believe that Zora was molested or raped by Uncle Mac, considering how Jacob described Faith and how it is similar to how Zora is now. Viewers also suggest that she accepts Isaiah's abuse from watching Kerissa accept Jacob's behavior during and after the affair with Alexa.
