UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII, the queen of Egypt.
----
* BadBoss: The whole reason that the Gauls make the trip to Egypt is to save Edifis from the consequences of failing her.
* BehindTheBlack: It's a recurring joke that Cleopatra makes her entrance completely unnoticed by the characters currently on-panel despite her usually traveling on [[ConspicuousConsumption a giant golden throne carried by several dozen slaves, with armed guards and sometimes animals by her side]]. And despite the sheer size, opulence and crowd around her, no-one is ever aware she's here until she makes her presence known. ''Asterix and Son'' sees her arriving on a two-story tall golden Sphinx on ten wheels, pulled by dozens of slaves, and yet she's only noticed once she tells Caesar the baby Brutus is pursuing is his -- this is despite the fact that Obelix and Brutus were BOTH facing the direction from which she arrived the previous panel!
* CharacterDevelopment: From being [[HotBlooded bratty, spoiled and rather childish]] to a much [[SilkHidingSteel calmer and wiser woman.]]
* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In her first appearances she's quite pretty apart from her GagNose. In later appearances she no longer has the GagNose and is just pretty.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: When she thinks Asterix wants to assassinate her, she holds a long speech about "showing the barbarians how a queen dies". Asterix eventually gets impatient and manages to throw a word in.
* GagNose: Almost every character in Astérix is drawn with a huge nose. However, the nose that is frequently remarked upon is Cleopatra's, whose is rather noticeable (being at an extremely acute angle) on her otherwise gorgeous appearance but far smaller than that of any of the characters constantly remarking on how "very pretty" it is. Thanks to ArtEvolution, though, she grows ProgressivelyPrettier later in the series, losing her GagNose altogether.
* HideYourChildren: To protect her son with Caesar in ''Asterix and Son'', she sends him to the Gauls' Village. It leads for a Dramatic Reveal when Caesar finds out the truth of Brutus' treachery.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She is this series' version of the historical UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She chews out Caesar for sabotaging the construction of his palace claiming that he shouldn't cheat... while claiming that she CAN use the Gauls to have the palace built in three months as planned. Never mind that the whole thing was to prove that her country was not decadent as Caesar said, yet it's thanks to the Gaulish intervention correcting the blueprints and their magic potion that the palace was built that fast and without falling apart, since Alexandria's best architect was inept. That being said, while allowing the Gauls' aid is not exactly fair in proving Egyptian building skill, her actual point wasn't exactly hypocritical, since she was calling out Caesar actively trying to prevent her side from winning the bet. Given Caesar's display of pride and arrogance throughout the book, one gets the idea that he would've launched this sabotage attack anyway even if the Egyptians did somehow manage to do the job quickly on their own (quality would still not have been great, but Caesar was more concerned about their meeting the deadline).
* ImmigrantPatriotism: Despite being of Greek-Macedonian origin and having a very Greek name, she identifies herself as Egyptian and is incensed when Caesar calls her people decadent, ensuing the famous bet.
* MayDecemberRomance: With Caesar who's noticably way older than her. [[spoiler: And has a son with Caesar, Ptolemy XV Caesarion, who she hides in the Gauls' Village in "Asterix and Son" when Brutus tries to kill the child.]]
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: They took as many cues from [[Film/{{Cleopatra}} Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra]] as possible.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: Her GagNose gets smaller in her later appearances. By the time of ''Asterix and Son,'' her nose is downright small and cute.
* {{Tsundere}}: Swings wildly between cool and collected and shouting her lungs out and throwing things.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Threatens Edifis to kill him if he doesn't build her a palace in 3 months.

*WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Starts off BehindTheBlack: It's a recurring joke that Cleopatra makes her entrance completely unnoticed by the characters currently on-panel despite her usually traveling on [[ConspicuousConsumption a giant golden throne carried by several dozen slaves, with armed guards and sometimes animals by her side]]. And despite the sheer size, opulence and crowd around her, no-one is ever aware she's here until she makes her presence known. ''Asterix and Son'' sees her arriving on a two-story tall golden Sphinx on ten wheels, pulled by dozens of slaves, and yet she's only noticed once she tells Caesar the baby Brutus is pursuing is his -- this is despite the fact that Obelix and Brutus were BOTH facing the direction from which she arrived the previous panel!
