Cleopatra Badette (Cleo for friends) is the deuteragonist of Ollie's Pack. Along with Bernie, she helps Ollie in his Chosen One duties. AppearanceCleo is a young tomboyish teen girl with darkish skin. She has frizzy purple hair (with shaved sides) tied in a ponytail using a yellow hair elastic. She has a white shirt with a pink stripe in the center, a blue denim jacket with gray hood and sleeve ends, cold-gray jeans, pink socks and yellow sneakers with white parts. It is unknown about her eye color. Fans think it could be brown, purple or blue. EtymologyCleo says her name is short for Cleopatra in Trio's a Crowd. FamilyTwo of her brothers have been named: Duncan Badette is appears to be her eldest and Carl Badette appears to be her youngest. Four others (younger than Duncan but older than Cleo presumably) are shown as being past class presidents. This means she has a total of at least six brothers: there are a total of at least seven children. InspirationThere is a scene in the 2019 short Monster Pack in the school cafeteria where an redheaded boy is sitting behind them. The boy has a red/yellow striped shirt. He is looking across the table at a girl with purple hair like Cleo, also in a ponytail like Cleo, also with shaved sides like Cleo. Behind her is a poster for "Mighty Gryphons", next to the "Homecoming Dance" banner. It seems probably that Cleo was based on her, although she has a lighter skin tone than Cleo ended up having. Her hair is a much lighter shade of purple in the pilot too. Also sitting with the redheaded boy is a darker-skinned girl with bluish hair so the characters may have been merged. Design and DevelopmentCleo wasn't featured as a main character in the pilot. There were only two background characters who looked like her. Most likely, two main boy characters were planned to be, but then creators decided to add a third main character, a girl.In concept, it is almost no different from the current one, but with a slightly different hairstyle and clothes. PersonalityOfficial description"She is a brave and adventurous comic relief." — TV guide says. Description according to the epsCleo is also loyal and responsible. She is snarky, sarcastic and loves to joke about topics that can greatly offend someone. Sometimes she may seem too cruel (if she is in a very good mood), but in fact, she is kind and supportive girl, especially to her friends. She is also persistent and it’s better not to make her angry. RelationshipsShe is close friends with Ollie and Bernie. She presumably likes Ollie more than a friend, since from many episodes like Yard Sale Fail and Separation Anxiety, there can be seen that their bond is very strong and long. In mentioned episode, Separation Anxiety, she even said that she likes Ollie. As revealed in Hollie Monitor, Beard Boy is in love with her, but Cleo isn’t interested in him.
FormsThere’s around 16 Cleo’s forms and costumes in the show.
