Biography
Greetings, my viewers! I am Cleopatra Sudds, the glamorous, glorious daughter of Claribel Sudds. My mother desired more than anything to be an aspiring actress. She took counsel from a marvelous magician named Dr. Daws to assist her. He gifted her with magical bonbons. But alas! They were stolen. A petulant brat named Bessie Bostwick gormandized one of them, and so did each of her parents, and a professor, and a senator. Claribel discovered what had come about when the senator danced after he consumed the bonbon that she most desired! Despite this, she acquired a new collection of bonbons and became a successful actress. Anyway, enough with that. My mother eventually got married and had three children. I am the eldest. I have an eleven-year-old brother named Orlando and a four-year-old sister named Hermione. My uncouth little brother doesn't appreciate the glorious extravagance of the theater, and neither does my baby sister. Of course, Mother is proud that she has another actress in the family - me, of course. And why not? I'm named after the queen of the Nile, and I've been acting for as long as I can remember. I love the theater, and I live for the theater. All the world's a stage, and all the men and women are merely players. I may be, but it seems like these days people don't appreciate true acting talent. They'd rather see no-talent hacks like those in Hollywood, the ones who are composed of that tacky substance known as silicone, the ones who keep marrying and divorcing progressively younger trophy wives just because they can. And of course, now that vaudeville is dead, the theater is what keeps the non-celebrity actor and actress involved in the pretentious art. There's plenty of reasons why I'm attending this school known as Ever After High. First, I'm going to be the next Claribel Sudds, and I need to train here. Second is to improve my skills in the theater, since it takes more than five little candies to become a true actress. Third and finally is to socialize with others my own age and know who's the artistic type and who's just a boring plebeian. I have lots of elegant costumes, and I enjoy wearing them to emphasize my devotion to the stage. I especially like the Cleopatra costume since it goes with my name. I also spend much of my time reading Shakespeare and other great playwrights of old so I can practice my acting. And of course I have a soft spot for sweet things... Au revoir!

Trivia
