Biography[]
Cleopatra Smith is the self-proclaimed "queen bee" of Clone High and the object of Abe's affection in the first season. She is popular, beautiful, social and smart, but is often cruel and cold. She is captain of the cheerleading team and former student body president. Cleo in her own eyes sees herself as a princess who deserves to be worshipped (like the original Cleopatra) by her fellow classmates, even behaving in that fashion. She is also very promiscuous and sleeps around a lot which Joan usually insults her for. She has feelings for both Abe and JFK, but she starts to fall in love with Abe and sees him as a better boyfriend than JFK. At one point, she has an attraction to Joan of Arc when she disguises herself as "John D'Arc". After finding out John is Joan, she claims that sleeping with Joan would have been "hot". She also regularly shows contempt towards poor people, viewing them as below her, even if they are objectively better people than she is.
Description on site[]
Being queen of Egypt is no small accomplishment, but neither is being queen of Clone High. For that matter, neither is creating a hit TV show. But we have done it, my friend. Anyway, Cleopatra has taken it upon herself to be this queen, using her sexiness and smarts to rule everyone and everything in her high school empire. Cleo puts pressure on herself to be the best at everything she does, which is why she gets straight A's, plays multiple sports, and still has time to be the president of every club at Clone High. She's the desire of every man at school, including Abe and JFK, who often find themselves competing for her attention in a highly comical manner.
Appearance[]
Cleopatra is modeled after the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic paintings found on the walls of the ruins of ancient Egypt. Cleo has the same stylized and unique appearance with olive skin, kohl around her eyes, blue (or red) eye shadow, big dark hair resembling the supposed style of many ancient Egyptian women, and two big golden earrings. Cleo wears a blue headband, a white tank top which shows her large cleavage, a tight black miniskirt to show her athletic and voluptuous figure and black pump shoes. In Season 2, she starts to wear a pair of gold bracelets on the upper part of her arms.
At night, she sleeps in sexy purple lingerie as seen in the episode "Sleep of Faith: La Ru D'Awakening" and is sometimes seen wearing her cheerleading outfit in several episodes of the first season, most notably "Homecoming: A Shot in D'Arc". At the prom during the season finale, she wears a tight, revealing red dress.
She also wore a bikini top with blue jean shorts while on tour with Ashley Angel on an exotic tropical island paradise as seen in the episode "Plane Crazy: Gate Expectations". In the episode "Litter Kills: Litterally", when Cleo attended Ponce de León's funeral, she wore a black minidress.
Personality[]
Cleopatra is portrayed as a outwardly, haughty, competitive, and fiery-tempered. She is a very vain person who cares only about her popularity and social image. But, she seems to have at least some consideration for other people's feeling, especially JFK and even Abe. She is very intelligent but tends to cover this fact by acting superficial and vapid. Although she may not enjoy being the center of attention, despite her proud and arrogant nature, Cleo is shown to to be willing to help others, when she gave Joan a makeover to boost her confidence, gave up some of her vanity to date Abe Lincoln who is unpopular, and consoled JFK in order to help him cope with Ponce's death. She is also very alluring, libidinous and seductive. She is displayed as being sexually promiscuous, which is something she doesn't hide often or appear to be ashamed of.

Trivia[]
- Like with Abe Lincoln, Cleo never goes by her full name, and instead just goes solely by "Cleo", likely to help differentiate her from her clone mother.
- Gandhi and Cleo used to be raised by the same foster mother for 10 years. After that decade had passed and Cleo was going into high school, she thought her brother would give her a bad image, so she convinced her parents to send Gandhi to a different pair of parents. She doesn't even remember his existence or his name.
- Given how Cleo and Gandhi were both 16 and in Junior Year, when Gandhi first mentioned this in "Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand", they most likely lived under the same roof, starting when they were both 4, and ending when they were 14.
- The way Gandhi worded the mention of this in the first episode, he said "our parents", implying that she also has a father. Only her mother has been seen, however, and "A Room of One's Clone: The Pie of the Storm", proves that she's single.
- Cleo's original design during the development of Clone High School, USA! was similar to her current design in the show, however she appears more human-like and proportional, yet wears the same clothing. However, she also is seen with traditional Egyptian markings on her face and has a more reasonably-sized bust.
- She has been seen carrying her books and walking in a stereotypical Egyptian style (one hand on hip, other hand flat and raised above head) during the beginning of the first episode, Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand.
- Cleo and Gandhi are the only two main clones to have never sat at the Thinking Docks.
