Was Queen Cleopatra Greek or Roman?

Cleopatra was a descendant of a Macedonian, Greek general. SHe had Egyptian blood running deeply in her veins however. Ptolemy, her ancsetor, came to Egypt and set up shop and dynasty there. I hope I helped. Incorrect. Cleopatra did not have ANY Egyptian blood running thru her veins. To answer the question: she was Greek. Cleopatra came from a family, the Ptolemaic Dynasty, who were of Greek origins and INBRED with one another, this inbreeding not only suggests they preserved their Hellenic ethnicity and culture but their bloodline would have been preserved as well and since they came from a region in Greece where fair coloring is very common then Cleopatra as ancient depictions clearly show, was fair colored. Her ancient busts and coins show a European light skinned woman; this bust from her time period still has traces of reddish gold that was her hair color.
