Advice for writing Polytrix more “balanced” between all three?

So, I recently wrote my first proper Polytrix one-shot, and mostly like how it turned out. However, with even less than 2k words, I noticed something: it was extremely unbalanced in the sense that Zoey was barely in it. She complimented Rumi a few times, but the main focus of the one-shot was on Rumi and Mira as Zoey did her own thing.

And thinking about it, most Polytrix ideas/scenarios I have or have written (platonically) involve Mira and Rumi together having tough or intense conversations. Or even just…normal or flirty conversations. But Zoey is often largely absent from their meaningful scenes, or when she is there, she’s praising or comforting Rumi with Mira or other characters. Nothing really feels uniquely her.

I think that part of this may be because I find Zoey the least interesting of the three women. I don’t hate her, I just don’t really ever have an interest in writing from her POV.

All that is to say: does anyone have advice for balancing interactions and the like between the three, specifically to include Zoey without making her seem OOC? (Cause like, having hard conversations isn’t her thing, really.)

I'm thinking of doing Mira as Mistral and Zoey as Monsoon next.

I just want to say how bloody brilliant Princington's Finderskeepersau is.... like the art, the story, the consistency... it's just chef's kiss amazing and if you haven't checked them out on Insta do it. I think it might be on AO3 too but not sure...
