Nefera de Nile

"Don't worry your mediocre-looking little head about that."

-Nefera in Hyde and Shriek

Nefera is Cleo de Nile's older sister. She is voiced by Wendee Lee. Nefera is three years older than her younger sister, Cleo.

Personality:
From her appearances thus far, Nefera seems to think that she is perfect, and that everyone else is beneath her - even her own younger sister, Cleo de Nile. She is always pointing out Cleo's flaws, and pushing Cleo towards acting more like her, even in matters that do not concern her.

Nefera also appears to be quite deceitful, as she sometimes blames her sister for things that she has done, getting Cleo into trouble instead.

She seems to be much like Cleo, relying on her servants and not even looking twice at a task that seems beneath her. This is most likely due to her regal heritage, and the fact that she would be next in line for their father's throne.

Also having the attention of being a "world-famous" supermodel going to her head makes her more stuck-up, maybe even more so than Cleo.

Physical Description:
There is an obvious family resemblance between Nefera and her younger sister, Cleo.Her hair is teal, with thick highlights of black and gold, and is worn up in a ponytail through a gold headdress with a single braid. Her eyes are light purple.

Family:
Her younger sister is Cleo de Nile. She acts very superior to Cleo, and will do anything to make her look bad. Because both Nefera and Cleo both have superiority complexes they don't get along very well.

Friends:
None of Nefera's friends have been revealed so far, as she claims that she "rules alone".

Pet:
Nefera's pet is a scarab beetle named Azura.

Romance:
It is not yet known whether or not Nefera has any romantic interests.

Nefera's Official Facebook Description:
Nefera may be older than the Egyptian royal tombs, but she doesn’t look a day over 5,000 (years, that is). Like her younger sister, Cleo, Nefera has a bit of a superiority complex; it probably comes from being the next in line to her father’s throne, a fact that she is constantly pointing out to Cleo. Nefera likes to think she’s perfect, but we all know she has her moments – everyone does! Plus she has the most charming pet scarab, Azura, who literally brings her the sun whenever she desires.

Basic:
Nefera wears red and gold eye makeup and a red diamond birthmark on her left cheek under her eye, on the opposite side to Cleo, and wears teal blue lipstick. She wears her teal, black and gold streaked hair back in a high ponytail with a single braid in it.

She wears multiple bangles on her right arm and several other items of jewellery, such as a large blue ring and red jewelled necklace and mis-matched earrings, one with a pyramid shape and the other of a snake. Nefera's left arm is entirely bandages down to her wrist, and she also wears a short skirt which is also made of bandages. She also wears a blue sash.

Nefera wears a thick golden belt with a snake design curled around it, and carries a handbag with a snake design strap. The heels of her shoes are teal colored king cobras.

Trivia

 * It is possible that the name "Nefera" is a reference to the name of the Egyptian Goddess "Nephthys", the Egyptian Queen "Nefertiti" or "Nefure,"' the daughter of Queen Hatshepsut.
 * Nefera doesn't make an appearance in the books. This is possibly because the first 2 books were written before she were trademarked.
 * She is one of 6 Monster High characters that are undead (the other 5 are Cleo, Frankie, Spectra, Ghoulia, and Draculaura), and one of 3 characters to be over one thousand years old (the others are Draculaura and Cleo.)
 * Nefera would be around 5845 years old, as she said that she was 3 years older than her sister Cleo, whose profile says that she is about 5842 years old. This makes her the oldest known character in the whole series.
 * Due to the age difference between her and Cleo, it is likely that Nefera graduated from Monster High a year before the beginning of the main storyline.
 * She is the only Monster High alumnus to appear in the series so far.
 * Nefera's doll is taller than the standard female dolls, to reflect the fact that she is older.
 * Like Cleo, Nefera wears gold Ancient Egyptian jewelry as well.
 * Nefera's make-up, many gold accessories, and hairstyle may had been inspired by "Nabooru" an Egyptian like character from the popular Nintendo video game "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time".
 * It is mentioned in Cleo's diary that she was the former captain of the Fear Squad and favored Toralei as well as the werecat twins which is why Cleo being "the younger sis" kept them on the team.
 * Despite already graduating, Nefera is seen leaving and entering Monster High in the Kind Campaign Special. This follows note to Cleo's Diary: School's Out entry about Nefera keeping tabs on MH still.
 * Her bandages on her arm are different colors between appearances in both her official art and the webisodes.
