Liti (hello in egyptian), I am Cleopatra the seventh. I was born in 69BCE in Egypt, although I am not actually Egyptian. I am the last pharaoh of Egypt. At 18 my father died and my brother and I came into power. 2 years later I was expelled by my brother. This wasn’t all bad; it allowed me to meet Julius Caesar. Julius helped me get back my throne and also became my spouse. Soon our only son Caesarion was born. After Caesar was killed I moved back to Egypt taking my rightful throne alone. In 37 BCE I married Mark Antony, Caesar’s backup man. I fought by his side against Octavian. To finally end the feud I orchestrated a mischievous plot. For this plan to work my husband had to be killed. Once he died, I sent Caesarion into hiding, since Antony’s will would be coming into effect Caesarion would be next in line to throne, making him the origin to many assassination plots. I tried to seduce Octavian and win a portion of the throne but the plan failed. I committed suicide, refusing to live under Octavian’s rule. Both of my husband’s along with my father made me the wealthy renowned queen of Egypt.
I chose Cleopatra because I believe she is one of the strongest females to ever live in history. If I could one day radiate as much power as her I would be overjoyed. She beyond doubt is the most couragous and cunning of all the woman on our list and definitely displays the neccesary traits. (this portion of my recording was cut off)
