Apocrypha
Personality:

Cleopatra was known for many things, such as being one of the most important female pharaoh to reign over Egypt or being one of the ancient beauties that existed over time. She was quite known for using her charm and appearance to get what she wanted without feeling guilty over it; after all she was the one in charge and in control over that place.

There are many things to take into consideration when talking about her. As a ruler there was no doubt that she was fit for that position, even manipulating from the shadows and controlling the situation to get the best outcome of it. The people she ruled over believed she was the reincarnation of the Goddess Isis and she believed in it as well. After all, such beauty could only have that explanation as an answer.

It goes without saying that she was the epitome of Narcissism, which it was quite common in such era. As a woman, Cleopatra knew how to get what she wanted with the power of her charm, though there was a frightening part of her that didn't hesitate to kill even family to please and acquire everything. She played with the rules to her own convenience, she stood firmly in her position and never showed a public weakness that could give her enemies any advantage.

Of course, Cleopatra's love history is quite famous. Cleopatra married four men during her life, though the most famous one will be her relationship with Julius Caesar. While it started as the obvious way to solidify her position in the throne, it is unknown if she ever truly loved him during all the time they spent together. However, what it was clear is that her presence was enough to induce and manipulate him at her will. This also make her be hated by the people in Rome for her devilish attitude.

She was given the title of "Queen of Kings" through history for her acts and it is a title she accepts gladly. During the time she was living, a woman like her could never ever dream with ruling over a Land in a society controlled by men. Her intelligence and beauty were her strongest weapons, as she could cause fear among the armies for what she could bring thanks to her manipulation of men. Her relationship with Antony proves that they used to seek her alliance and power, and how in the different interpretations at the end they realized the kind of monster she could be.

Death is not something she fears at all. She could kill her own sister to keep in the throne without remorse. Worse of all, there are stories of her playing and experimenting with poisonous snakes in people to test their effects and power. The snakes represent many aspects of the females in that era that even match her own personality. It is well known that she finished off her own life by inducing a snake to bite her in her throne.

Cleopatra is used to the luxury of an Empress. She does not take well being ignored for being a woman. Behind her smile and firm posture hides a monster that is capable of killing and slaughtering in the shadows for her pure revenge. The new joys of life and entertainment, she seeks to see them all once more. She wants to be praised and loved by her people once more and she will do anything to get that feeling back. Perhaps this is the only way she knows what the concept of 'love' is since she is not even sure she can even feel such thing.

As a Caster, if her Master were to be male, she will seduce him to do what she wants. It is in her nature to control everything without exception, as she only seeks her own pleasure. Her own familiars as the same snakes that once killed many people, included herself, that she uses to spy and poison without mercy. Shall her master be female, perhaps things would be different; though she has no complains in using her charms on them as well if the situation arrives. After all, for her beauty it is to be admired no matter the gender.

Samples:
First Person Sample:

[ A new video feed starts, this time showing a beautiful woman sitting on a bench of the park. Her clothes seems to be a bit odd, probably something that people would wear if they were from an ancient place. ]

So it has finally decided to obey me. [ Her voice is firm, yet she manages to relax a bit after that. ] Splendid. There must be someone listening to this, so I will make this simple.

[ With a smile, she looks at the device again. ]

If this is the Holy Grail War, then I request to speak with my useless Master for being such a weak one and not being at my side now. Now, if the circumstances are others, then I wish to know about this place.

Now, I should introduce myself in the exchange of information. I was known by many titles, including 'Queen of Kings' and the reincarnation of the Goddess Isis as well. For this War I should be Caster, but I am not fond of it. If you wish to address me, then you must do it with my name: I am the Pharaoh Cleopatra, you will do well to remember it.

[ With a chuckle, the gorgeous woman ends the feed. ]


Third Person Sample:


When she first arrived in this world, Cleopatra knew this was her chance to know this world better. This strange island was just the beginning of it, so she could endure it as much as she needed to. She was quite fine without her magic because this world couldn't take her beauty: her strongest weapon.

The woman walked through the city, admiring this new setting for a long time. The jewelry here was cheap, so she would need to work harder to get it... After all, an empress like her must always look with the best accessories to be respected and loved.

"It is fine. A good challenge is something I can do enjoy once in a while." She spoke quietly, admiring the sunset for the first time in a long time. "I do wonder... Where could I acquire my beautiful snakes again..." She trailed off as she laughed softly at that.

After all, it was part of her charm as well.
