**Cleo de Nile** is a main character in *Monster High*. She is portrayed by **Isabelle Cornish.**

## Character Description

*Cleo is the daughter of the Mummy and a princess (from a long time ago). She is the queen bee and captain of the Fear Squad. She is also the girlfriend of Deuce Gorgon and often comes into conflict with the other ghouls at Monster High, as Cleo charms and enchant the other monsters... often in a deceptive way.*

## Early Life

Cleo is a princess born over 5,842 years ago (give or take a few years) during Ancient Egypt to Ramses and Dedyet de Nile, and also the younger sister of Nefera de Nile. During her teenage years, Cleo knew she would never become Queen of Egypt due to her older sister being first in line to their father's throne, however, Ramses brother, Pilis de Nile planned a siege against his family, and plotted to overthrow Ramses by having him and his men murder his family. Luckily, Ramses managed to kill Pilis' men and overpower his brother, and ultimately, he and his daughters took shelter in a tomb, where he revealed mummy wraps which he and his daughters wore, which ultimately put them under a sleeping curse, as they slowly transformed into Mummies.

In the present day, Cleo now lives in New Salem with her father and sister and attends Monster High where she is the captain of the Fear Squad.

Prior to the start of the series, Cleo was best ghoulfriends with Clawdeen Wolf and dated her older brother, Clawd Wolf who gave her an amulet as a gift, which was important to her and kept inside her locker at school. Cleo ended their relationship during Summer 2018 because Clawd kissed Draculaura (a ghoul who according to Cleo always had a crush on him) during a game of spin-the-bottle and wanted to break up with him before he broke her heart, resulting in a feud between Cleo and Clawdeen, which only furthered Clawd's heartbreak and Clawdeen's hatred when she began dating Clawd's former best friend, Deuce Gorgon.
