Personality[]
Pharaoh is a member of the Ptolemy family, one of the richest and most famous monster families in the world, who live in Ptolemy Tower in Boo York.

Pharaoh is a talented rapper and dancer, and loves to perform on the streets of Boo York. When in his mother Amuncommon's presence, Pharaoh acts passive, obedient, and pretends to share his mother's dislike for modern culture, causing his peers to view him as weird or odd. In reality, Pharaoh is very much a friendly, out-going, and normal teenager who enjoys having fun and expressing his artistry.
Since his mother doesn't appreciate his style of music, he sneaks out in secret by travelling over the city rooftops and proves to be very crafty in hiding his secret life from her. He also has a passion for poetry, but is considered boring by some people; though since he seen to be very protective of his book and his skills as a singer, the book likely contains lyrics for his songs.
Pharaoh fears he'll never get the chance to sing again when he learns his mother is planning to unite his family with the De Niles on the Night of the Comet. After a chance meeting and bonding with Catty Noir, he finally gains the courage to reveal his true self to his mother and rebels against her.
