{{quote|''"[[Genre Savvy|I take it as a rule of nature]] that all American high schools are ruled by a pack of snobs, led by a supremely confident young woman who is blond, superficial, catty, and ripe for [[Humble Pie|public humiliation]]. This character is followed by [[Girl Posse|two friends who worship her, and are a little bit shorter]]".''|'''[[Roger Ebert]]''', review of ''[[Sleepover]]''}}
 
Take your typical setting involving teenagers -- sayteenagers—say, a [[High School]] -- wait—wait an establishing scene or two or three, and there she is. See that [[Evil Is Sexy|attractive]] [[Blondes Are Evil|blonde]] [[The Cheerleader|cheerleader]] looking down her nose and sneering at the [[Hollywood Homely|frumpy girl]] [[Meganekko|in glasses]]? That's herthe '''Alpha Bitch'''.
 
The [[Distaff Counterpart]] to the [[Jerk Jock]] and probablysometimes his girlfriend; what he does with his fists, she does with a sharp tongue and sharper [[Manipulative Bitch|manipulation]]. Despite being a [[Popular Is Dumb|not-too-bright]], [[Jerkass|unpleasant, bullying, and mean-spirited excuse-for-a-human]] determined to put down everyone except an elite few deemed worthy of her goodwill -- [[Bad Boss|and she's usually kind of a bitch even to them]] -- she—she will still be the most popular girl in school, surrounded by a fawning [[Girl Posse]] who suck up to her and act as her faithful minions. Rare male Alpha Bitches do exist, but they're just that - rare. They're distinct from the [[Jerk Jock]] in that they're mainly catty and manipulative, rather than physically threatening.
 
She's also usually the scion of a [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|wealthy]] and [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|influential]] family, the star of the school and / or head sister of the influential college sorority house, thus providing her a network of local celebrity, influence and wealth to exploit. She's also [[Evil Is Sexy|quite the seductress]], and consequently, all the [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|boys]] fight amongst themselvesthemselves—sometimes -- sometimes literally -- toliterally—to be her [[Henpecked Husband|oppressed boyfriend]]. All this leaves her with the belief that she can do whatever she likes without consequences. Unfortunately, she's often right; the [[Powers That Be]] are not immune to her [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|wealth]], [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|connections]] and [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|influence]], and she or her family can and will corrupt or coerce them into overlooking her bad behavior. Very likely to be a [[Narcissist]].
 
Because this type generally operates almost exclusively via [[Manipulative Bitch|psychological and social intrigue]] of various kinds, as mentioned, there is usually [[Violence Is the Only Option|only one way]] to effectively [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|deal with them]]. While this virtually never happens in fiction, there are occasional [[Carrie|exceptions]]. Even on the rare occasion when this path is followed, the person doing so [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|will never be male]].
Line 16:
Usually the Veronica in a [[Betty and Veronica]] situation. Unlikely to be a [[Fille Fatale]]; she's too outwardly mean for that. Frequently on the Snob end of [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]. [[It's a Costume Party, I Swear]], the [[Prank Date]], and the [[Party Scheduling Gambit]] are just some of the many nasty tricks she plays. Often receives her comeuppance at the hands of a member of her own [[Girl Posse]] in a [[Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch]] moment.
 
Contrast with [[Spoiled Sweet]], where a girl is made out to be the [['''Alpha Bitch]]''', but is instead quite a sweetheart. Compare and Contrast with [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] who is [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|this trope with a heart of gold]]. This trope is probably so common [[Truth in Television|because everyone who wasn't homeschooled knew someone like this... or was one]].
{{examples}}
 
{{examples}}
== Anime &and Manga ==
* Nanami Kiryuu from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]''. In the manga, Nanami only appears in a photo, so Juri takes her place as Alpha Bitch.
* ''[[Soukou no Strain]]'' adds Isabella to the list of characters that it [[Anyone Can Die|kills off]], but her even worse successor, Mariette, makes it through to the end of the series. Oddly, Lavinia, who is named after the Alpha Bitch of ''[[A Little Princess]]'', is the furthest thing from being an Alpha Bitch herself, being head-over-heels for protagonist Sarah.
* Subverted in ''[[Red Garden]]''. One of the [[Student Council]] members constantly complained about how the protagonist was being treated with kid gloves for her constant absences and tardies, and is seen several times spying on her, as if for blackmail material...then, in an emotional scene, she reveals that she's been ''worried'' about the protagonist for a long time, and wanted to help her with whoever is hurting her.
* Tamaki Reika from ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'', though she has a bit of a [[Freudian Excuse]]. ({{spoiler|After she got serious burns as a baby thanks to her [[Bumbling Dad]] leaving a cup of hot coffee within her reach, he swore to never again make Reika cry...[[Spoiled Brat|but ended up]] [[Daddy's Girl|spoiling her rotten.]]}}) She becomes more of a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] later on, though.
* Aki Honda from ''[[Narutaru]]'', despite not being rich, is the [[Complete Monster|cruelest and most horrible one]] ''ever'' created, graduating from criminal harassment to {{spoiler|full-on ''rape''}}. She meets a very nasty end when her favorite victim, {{spoiler|local [[Lonely Rich Kid]] Hiroko Kaizuka}}, gets her [[Mon|Shadow Dragon]] and ''brutally'' murders Aki and her [[Girl Posse]] in what proves to be her [[Start of Darkness]].
* There's also Eliza Reagan from ''[[Candy Candy]]'', probablyis a rivalgood to Aki above as the candidate of [[Complete Monster|cruelest and most horrible Alpha Bitches ever created]]example. She is perpetually giving Candy and her friends a lot of troubles [[For the Evulz|for her own amusement on seeing people suffer]] and [[Rich Bitch|her wealth and family prestige]] [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|usually gives her more excuses to get away from her troubles]]. UnlikeShe Aki,usually heris comeuppance might bea [[Karma Houdini|nonexistent]], unlessbut yousometimes seeshe somegets subtle[[Humiliation messageConga|truly aboutspectacular one of Candy's surviving friends is higher rank in class and would more than likely to screw her up... which never happens on-screencomeuppances]].
* Sae from ''[[Peach Girl]]''. She's Momo's main love rival, and is especially good at doing nasty things to Momo while [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|making herself look innocent]].
* ''[[Mai-Otome]]''
Line 40:
* Ami of ''[[Toradora!]]'', who usually hides her bitchiness behind a saccharine mask of sweetness until she feels she can get away with it. She does get [[Character Development]], though, switching to [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]. Being a very popular teen model, she's used to various people fawning over her and such. But, ''because'' she's a model, they expect her to be the cute, sunny, eternally bubbly girl she's often portrayed as. [[Knight in Sour Armor|And she's sick of it.]]
* Katherina Sforza from the Nunnally-centered ''[[Code Geass]]'' manga ''[[Code Geass: Nightmare of Nunnally|Code Geass Nightmare of Nunnally]]''. She and the [[Girl Posse]] get [[Humiliation Conga|embarrassingly]] punished by Nunners's classmate {{spoiler|and the local [[Extraordinarily Empowered Girl]]}}, Alice, though.
* Tenjouin Saki of ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'' is a stark subversion: while she meets almost all of the standard Alpha Bitch traits, right down to the [[Noblewoman's Laugh]] and [[Princess Curls]], [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|she has a very human side]]; she obtained one of the girls in her [[Girl Posse]] by [[Pet the Dog|rescuing her from bullies]]. She is legitimately kind to [[True Companions|her friends]], and to [[Morality Pet|her servants]].
* Anna Maria from ''[[Blood+|Blood Plus]]'' is a poster girl for this trope, despite not having a very large part in the series. A [[Rich Bitch]] complete with [[Princess Curls]], her own posse of female followers, and being unreasonably rude and bullying. Naturally, she gets a slap to the face when [[Prince Charming|Solomon]] invites Saya to dance instead of her.
* Kafuko from ''[[Space Pirate Mito]]'', complete with a [[Girl Posse]], [[Rich Bitch|a sense of entitlement]], and [[Tsundere|a not-so-secret crush]] on the protagonist.
Line 52:
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'': Poor Ange has to deal with whole ''class'' of them, all because they don't like her [[Perpetual Frowner|personality]], which apparently spoils their mood. {{spoiler|Alternately, they're the [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] type... and Ange is the one causing trouble. Remember, we only see things from Ange's perspective: the girls are ''[[Oh Crap|HORRIFIED]]'' by her breakdown, and [[Values Dissonance|the school in itself relies on group punishment]]! So they ''may'' have gotten way ahead of their league, with all the horrible results that came.}}
* Kanako Kawamori from ''[[Sakura Gari]]''.
* ''[[Naruto]]'': whenWhen she was younger, Sakura was bullied by a trio of Alpha Bitches for her big forehead. Later, after they become rivals, Ino becomes something of an Alpha Bitch, but she [[Character Development|soon grows out of it]]. Arguably, Sakura herself starts out this way, when first introduced. Again, she gets better.
* Mitsuko Souma from ''[[Battle Royale]]'', though she's a bit more... shall we say, violent than is usually expected.
* Princess Millerna starts out as the Alpha Bitch in ''[[The Vision of Escaflowne]]'', but [[Character Development|grows out of it.]]
* In ''[[Aim for the Ace!|Aim for The Ace]]'', the beautiful star player Reika Ryuuzaki starts out acting like this, being the queen bee and at first angered that a newcomer like Hiromi could possibly have made the top five, but she warms up to her eventually.
* In the ''[[Bokurano]]'' manga, Mako Nakarai has to deal with an Alpha Bitch that harasses her for being [[Son of a Whore|the daughter of an ex-prostitute.]] {{spoiler|After Mako spectacularly calls her and her boyfriend out before her deadly battle, we see that the Alpha Bitch has had [[Character Development|a change of heart]].}}
* Queen Barby from ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'', who runs the school that Panty and Stocking are infiltrating in one episode (it's even explicitly stated that the weak-willed principal barely has any control compared to her). {{spoiler|She turns out to be one of the Ghosts Panty and Stocking are after: a literal Queen Bee.}}
* ''[[Hell Girl]]'' has a lot of these, at least in the beginning of the series. And they receive their comeuppance. Boy, do they ever.
** The worst of them is the first one we see, YoshimiAya Kuroda. She not only bullies her rival Mayumi Hashimoto, but she frames her for embezzlement, forces her into [[Compensated Dating]], and ''blackmails her with photos of her "illegal/immoral behavior"'' {{spoiler|She doesn't live to tell, obviously}}.
** Later, we meet Shiori Akasaka, who leaves her friend Minami and gets "chosen" to go to Hell, {{spoiler|but later, they get reconciled and try to send their rival alpha bitches to Hell instead. That does NOT end well.}}
** And later, {{spoiler|it's subverted: young Maki is being bullied by a secret stalker... and it turns out to be ''her teacher'' Kamishiro. She ends up in Hell.}}
* Saaya Yamabuki from ''[[Shugo Chara]]''; mostly played for laughs.
* Miya Koshiro (a.k.a. The "Heiress") in ''[[Yumeiro Patissiere]]''.
* Shute Sutherland is a male example in ''[[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu]]''. He's hardly seen without his [[Girl Posse|Boy Posse]].
* Manami Anzai from ''[[Life (manga)|Life]]'', and her [[Girl Posse]].
* [[Terrible Trio|The Ganguro Girls]] from ''[[Durarara!!]]''. While they're not rich (if episode 6 is anything to go by, they're dirt ''poor''), they have all the traits of this character; they take delight in tormenting the female lead Anri Sonohara, are catty and rude to everyone they meet, and are all around nasty and unlikable people. {{spoiler|Is it any wonder that [[Yandere|the Slasher]] decided to target them}}?
* ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' has quite a few of them, but Miyabi Aizawa tops them all.
* In the manga version of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', Seika Kohinata fills this role. Unlike most examples of this Trope, she has the skills to back up her ego; in her one duel with Judai, she honestly wasn't bad.
 
 
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane]]'' presents a subversion; through the series, it appears that Liz Allen is the Alpha Bitch of the school, and she certainly possesses the usual qualities -- headqualities—head of the cheerleading squad, bitchy and snobby, dating the head football jock, obsessed with becoming Homecoming Queen, so on and so forth. However, come the night of the Homecoming Dance, it's revealed that Mary Jane -- theJane—the nicer, sweeter, and more easy-going and modest protagonist, and Liz's best friend -- isfriend—is actually far more well-liked, and is voted Homecoming Queen (despite having not even run for it), much to both girl's surprise and, for different reasons, horror. After a big fight between them, Liz admits that she's always been jealous of Mary Jane, more than aware that she's always been the more popular of the two, thus explaining Liz's desperate need to win the Homecoming Queen crown.
** In the original comics too Liz was introduced as one, mocking Peter as much as everyone else, until a boost of Character Development after seeing him in different light turned her into his love interest. Similarly, Gwen Stacy started off not too different, and also developed into a more positive character and subsequent love interest. Arguably, his true love.
* ''[[Spider-Girl]]'' gave us Heather Noble -- sheNoble—she was acting like one of these until Tom Defalco didn't get the idea of making her fall in love with the main character's [[Geek]] friend. Later, he created Simone DeSantos, full-scaled Alpha Bitch.
* An Alpha Bitch is seen tormenting an unpopular girl in ''[[Batman|Joker's Asylum]]: the Scarecrow''. Unfortunately, the girl's psychologist turns out to be Jonathan Crane a.k.a. the Scarecrow. Having been bullied himself, Scarecrow attacks her party and traps her and all her friends into their own personal nightmares.
* ''Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.'': Courtney is the ''blonde'' newcomer who ends up gaining popularity against a brunette Alpha. Said enemy is also a supervillain and the daughter of the series' [[Big Bad]], and once that gets out, the cliques are bound to change.
Line 80:
* A rare black Alpha Bitch, and among the first to be a protagonist, is ''[[Generation X]]'''s Monet Yvette Clarisse Maria Therese St. Croix ([[Overly Long Name|yes, that's her full name]]), also known as M. She's gorgeous, wealthy, and brilliant, with [[Flying Brick]] powers ''plus'' telepathy and accelerated learning aptitude. Par for the course was a heated rivalry with Jubilee, and a subtler one with Emma Frost. Being Ms. Perfect has backfired at least once, however. When the Massachusets Academy started admitting human students, nobody asked Monet to the dance because all the boys thought she was out of their league. Thankfully, the many sobering events in the X-Men world have kept her from becoming a [[Rich Bitch]] for the most part.
* Veronica from [[Archie Comics]] at her worst. Cheryl, too.
* Under [[Geoff Johns]], ''Batman'' has become the male version of the Alpha Bitch in the ''[[Justice League of America|Justice League]]'', with Hal Jordan being positioned as his chief rival, because Hal is the only JLA member who isn't afraid of Batman (indeed, going so far as to punch Batman unconscious when Batman's <s>ego</s> <s>sane and rational concern about someone who was not that long ago an unstable lunatic</s> doubts about Hal led him to try to prevent Hal from stopping the Parallax entity). Ironically, in the ''Justice League'' of the New 52 Universe -- andUniverse—and written by the same Geoff Johns -- itJohns—it's '''Hal Jordan''' who acts like a male Alpha Bitch.
* Jordanna in ''[[Batgirl]]'' tends to take on this sort of role towards Stephanie Brown, the main character. Since Stephanie's a pretty laid-back sort (and Batgirl, meaning she usually has bigger fish to fry anyway), her usual reaction to Jordanna's antics is along the lines of amused indifference.
* [[Supergirl|Linda Lee/Supergirl]] from ''Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th grade'' is her school's geeky [[Strange Girl]], so her bizarro counterpart, Belinda Zee, is an Alpha Bitch.
* ''[[Minimonsters]]'' has a [[Rare Male Example]] in the form of [[Our Zombies Are Different|Morty]] [[Rich Bastard|Vivente]], the leader of [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's Gang]] and Frank's [[The Rival|rival]]. While his motives of antagonizing Frank's Gang are atypical (he wants to get [[Brain Food|Frank's brains]]), he otherwise fits this trope to a T, being an [[Ax Crazy|unstable]], [[Faux Affably Evil|faux-pleasant]], [[The Sociopath|sociopathic]] [[Manipulative Bastard]] willing to commit atrocious deeds to get what he wants, and whom freely [[Bad Boss|abuses his minions]]. He further gets into this trope by being able to skip school when he wants [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections|due to being the school principal's son]]. This is subverted in that, despite what he claims, he and his gang are [[Straw Loser|so unpopular they make their rivals look much better in comparison]].
* Some incarnations of Anthony "Tony" Stark/''[[Iron Man]]'' count as well.
** His [[The Dragon|second-in-command]] (and [[Unholy Matrimony|girlfriend]]) [[Perky Goth|Guillotine]] also has some of this traits, but she's more tomboyish than the standard, and proves to be more of a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] instead.
 
** Subverted and deconstructed with [[The Protagonist|Victor himself]]. He does have the [[Beauty Is Bad|looks]], the [[Rich Bastard|wealth]] and the [[Jerkass|attitude]] to match this trope. However, due to [[No Social Skills|his lack of social graces]] and [[Fish Out of Water|inability to fit in the town]], he's instead regarded as a pretentious loser and is the comic's main [[Butt Monkey]].
 
== Comic Strips ==
* ''[[Peanuts]]''
** Violet is the elementary school epitome of this trope (though she has dark hair). She always leads the other catty girls in picking on Charlie Brown.
** Patty (not Peppermint Patty, the other one) occasionally had some of these traits in the early years as well.
* Tiffany from ''Luanne'', though her popularity [[Informed Ability|might be in her head]] considering ''she lost her own beauty contest''.
 
 
Line 98 ⟶ 93:
** The story itself has a Gryffindor prep named Britney who is treated as an Alpha Bitch yet doesn't actually do anything bitchy. That's reserved for ''our hero'', [[Jerk Sue|Ebony]].
* EVERY FREAKIN' BODY in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew No Hope Left]]''.
* [[The Ojou|Princess]] [[Tenchi Muyo!|Ayeka]] [[Flanderization|gets turned into one of these]] in some [[Fanfic|fanficsfanfic]]s, depending on the [[Author Appeal|author's preferences.]]
* Sakura of ''[[Pretty Cure Full Color]]'' is a reformed Alpha Bitch. She gains her powers only when she fully accepts and befriends the people she used to make fun of.
* Omemi Emiru from ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure Blue Moon]]'' is a variation on the concept. Rather than a beautiful blonde who stands out from the crowd (that would be Seira, a member of her [[Girl Posse]] whom she strictly keeps in line), Emiru has short green hair and [[Scary Shiny Glasses]], and prefers to watch (and gossip) from the shadows. This understated approach has allowed her to obtain blackmail on nearly every girl in school, and by the time the story starts, they know it and bend to whatever she says. Considering [[I Am What I Am|one of the main themes of the story]], eventually, this isn't enough for her...
* Lucy Horowitz is this in the ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]'' fanfic [https://web.archive.org/web/20120407063853/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4927091/1/Girls_School Girls' School]. {{spoiler|She suffers a [[Villainous Breakdown]] at the end}}.
* Cho Chang in ''[[A Very Potter Musical]]'' goes from being the [[Spoiled Sweet]] in the books, to still being [[Spoiled Sweet]], but definitely having a lot of Alpha Bitchy traits. It's taken up to eleven in the sequel.
{{quote| '''Cho:''' Come on girls, let's go show Moaning Myrtle our ball gowns and [[Kick the Dog|make fun of her because she can't go.]]}}
* Tiffany in ''[[The Secret Life of the Backyard Kids]].'' In an interesting twist, she's also a [[Magnificent Bitch]] [[Dark Action Girl]] hell-bent on world domination.
 
Line 112 ⟶ 107:
* Mertle from ''[[Lilo and Stitch (Disney film)|Liloand Stitch]]'' (and its subsequent TV series), all because Lilo is 'too weird' for her. That, and she's spoiled rotten by her mother. It's implied that she gets her nasty side from her aunt, and has an inferiority complex. In an interesting variation, she looks more like a stereotypical nerd than Lilo.
* Giddy, Prissy, Fidgety, and ''especially'' Matriarch the elephants to [[Dumbo]] and his mother.
* Chelsea zigzags this all over the place in ''[[Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken]]''. In her [[Establishing Character Moment]], she seems to be an exaggerated version of the trope, standing on a fountain to use as a pedestal while ranting on how great she is, literally stepping on the backs of her fawning admirers to step down from the fountain. Then after revealing herself to be a mermaid, she seems to evolve into a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]], befriending Ruby and encouraging her to make the most of her potential. Then she commiserates to Ruby on how she mourns the lives lost in the [[Forever War]] between mermaids and krakens, suggesting that her Alpha Bitch behavior is an act by an insecure girl who just wants to have friends and make peace between the two races. {{spoiler| Sadly, however, all of that is an act. Chelsea wants neither friends nor peace, and is, in fact, a literal monster, her motivation and goals far more evil than anything the typical Alpha Bitch could muster.}}
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[Mean Girls]]''
** Regina in the first movie. Her [[Meaningful Name]] is Latin for "queen", and, despite being feared by every person in the school, every single one of them wants to ''be'' like her or be ''liked'' by her. The movie is a deliberate embodiment and analysis of this trope. Our protagonist eventually becomes the new Alpha Bitch in true Macbethian fashion after Regina becomes a [[Fallen Princess]], and quickly realizes that, despite thinking Regina was an unholy monster for the way she manipulated people, she herself cannot resist the temptation of raw power and admiration that the "Queen Bee" commands.
** Her successor in the sequel is Regina without [[Complete Monster|any redeeming qualities.]] She even goes as far as stealing from a charity in order to frame the protagonist.
* Jessica Sanders in ''[[The Hot Chick]]''.
* ''[[Clueless]]''
** Subverted -- CherSubverted—Cher Horowitz is unquestionably one of the most popular girls in school, but she's also a genuinely nice person (if a bit spoiled, shallow, and [[The Ditz|airheaded]]).
** Her rival, Amber Mariens, is a bit closer in spirit to the Alpha Bitch, but is less popular than Cher, and her sluttiness and airheadedness make her more like [[The Brainless Beauty]] (albeit a mean-spirited one).
* In [[The Movie]] of ''[[Diary of a Wimpy Kid]]'', Patty Ferrell was beginning to show the first signs of Alpha Bitch-itis. Granted, she was likely to evolve into an Alpha Bitch in the books and webcomics, but the movie ''definitely'' showed more of this.
* [[Mandy Moore]]'s "Stupid Cupid" (the singing cheerleader, Lana Thomas) in ''[[The Princess Diaries]]''. Notable mainly for the fact that director Garry Marshall explicitly pointed out that Lana was this on the DVD's supplemental material. She does, however, get a [[Break the Haughty]] moment when Mia deliberately squishes an ice cream cone on her chest and gives her a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]. Not only do the principal and several teachers who were sitting near the scene not do anything (a true sign of how much she's really hated) but the other students ''cheer Mia on''.
* Christie Masters (played by Julia Campbell) in ''[[Romy and Michele's High School Reunion|Romy and Micheles High School Reunion]]''.
Line 133 ⟶ 128:
* Jane Mitchell in ''Zapped!'', who gets a ''[[Carrie]]'' comeuppance in the end.
* Taylor Vaughan in ''[[She's All That]]''.
* Subverted in ''[[Legally Blonde (Filmfilm)|Legally Blonde]]'', where the Alpha Bitch Vivian is actually the [[Hollywood Homely]] [[Brainy Brunette|smart girl]] who torments the blonde, bouncy, popular rich girl, Elle. {{spoiler|And she has a [[Heel Face Turn]] in the end}}.
* Babs in ''[[Animal House]]'' is a collegiate version.
* [[Roger Ebert]] summed it up best (see page quote) for ''[[Sleepover]]''.
Line 153 ⟶ 148:
* Betty Childs from ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]''. She gets better, though.
* Frankie in ''[[The Hole]]'', {{spoiler|or so she's presented in the first version of Liz's story anyway, and Liz is far from being a reliable narrator}}.
* Subverted in ''16 Wishes.'' Krista Cook ''acts'' a great deal like the typical Alpha Bitch, but at the end, it turns out {{spoiler|that she just held a grudge against Abby for stealing her best friend when they were children and wasn't mean to anyone but her.}} The two eventually reconcile.
* The [[Meaningful Name|Ice Princess]] in ''[[Batman Returns]]'' was [[What Could Have Been|originally supposed to be]] this trope incarnate: blonde, gorgeous, a total [[The Ditz|Ditz]], and really rude to anyone who got in her way [[Word of God|(as the actress who played her openly admitted)]]. However, after [[Tim Burton]] had the movie's script rewritten, the character lost the more objectionable traits and became, while still annoying, a [[Spoiled Sweet|generally sweeter person]] -- which—which made her fatal plunge onto the Gotham Plaza stage [[Alas, Poor Scrappy|a bit more tragic than it otherwise would have been]].
* Mavis Gary in ''[[Young Adult (film)|Young Adult]]'' was one of these in high school, and hasn't grown out of it. She writes [[Young Adult|teen-lit novels]] in order to recreate her [[Glory Days]], and she's still trying to reclaim her [[High School Sweethearts]] (who's now married).
* Melissa from ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13 th]] VII'' was such an uncompromisingly straight example of this that audiences ''cheered'' when she became Jason's [[Asshole Victim]].
* Kathryn from ''[[Cruel Intentions]]''.
 
 
== Literature ==
Line 168 ⟶ 162:
** Pansy Parkinson seems to be one. We don't see much of her, but she acts snotty whenever she shows up and dotes on her boyfriend Draco Malfoy. Also, she is mentioned to have a [[Girl Posse]], and all the "good" female characters hate her with a passion. The author seems to really dislike her and {{spoiler|she doesn't even marry Draco in the end.}} [[Word of God|J. K. Rowling]] has stated that she embodied every girl who was mean to Rowling in school.
** Romilda Vane, Harry's [[Stalker with a Crush]] from the sixth book, also had some Alpha Bitch tendencies, possessing her own [[Girl Posse]] and telling Harry that he didn't have to hang out with kids as "uncool" as Neville and Luna.
** Draco Malfoy is possibly a male Alpha Bitch, different from the [[Jerk Jock]]. He's blond, rich, snobbish, presumed evil, bought his way onto the Slytherin Quidditch team, and comes complete with two other boys flanking his sides at all times -- thoughtimes—though Crabbe and Goyle aren't the stereotypically slightly less pretty posse members. Plus, he dates Pansy, as mentioned above.
** Possibly Olive Hornby, the girl who teased Moaning Myrtle about her glasses. But we don't know for sure. It could have been friendly teasing which Myrtle took the wrong way -- itway—it would certainly be in-character for her.
* Christine Hargensen, Carrie's nemesis in [[Stephen King]]'s book and film ''[[Carrie]]''. She and her [[Girl Posse]] are banned from the senior prom because of a ''very'' nasty incident in the girl's locker room involving them terrorizing Carrie, who was having her first period at the time and was under the impression that she was bleeding to death, by throwing tampons and other feminine hygiene items at her and chanting "Plug it up! Plug it up!" Chris then pulls a cruel prank on Carrie by dumping pig's blood on her head when she is voted as Prom Queen (this scene is considered a classic in movie history, very memorable) which leads Carrie to freak out. Christine becomes one of many victims in the ensuing [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
** Averted by Sue Snell, who gets her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom not to set her up for humiliation, but to genuinely atone for what she did.
* Lara from Cherie Bennett's ''[http://www.amazon.com/Life-Lane-Books-Young-Readers/dp/0440220297/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211580386&sr=8-1 Life in the Fat Lane]'' is a weird example: she starts out much like Cher from ''[[Clueless]]'' — the [[Spoiled Sweet|rich, shallow and naïve, but sweet]] (and ''[[Informed Ability|supposedly]]'' intelligent) [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|homecoming queen]]. Then she (suddenly) gets fat and becomes a social outcast (her immediate descent into [[Wangst|self-loathing]] upon gaining the first ''ten pounds'' had ''nothing'' to do with it...). Enter at least ''two'' examples played straight...but wait—''here's'' a girl who's at very least [[In with the In Crowd]], but is [[Subverted Trope|sweet to everyone]], even [[Acceptable Hard Luck Targets|fat people]]... but wait—[[Double Subversion|she's actually obnoxious and condescending and just trying to portray herself as the perfect homecoming queen candidate]].
* Massie Block, the main character of ''[[The Clique]]'' series of novels.
* Lana is a more cliched version of this in the books ''[[The Princess Diaries]]'', as well as being a [[Devil in Plain Sight]]. Mia often retaliates. Later in the series, though, Lana extends the olive branch to Mia, and her friend Trisha enters Mia's group of friends. She becomes much more a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] after this as she still retains a couple [[Jerkass]] tendencies.
* From ''His Majesty's Dragon'': Miss Montagu, who snubbed Will Laurence at his parents' house when he stopped by on the way to the training grounds, was only a mild Alpha Bitch... until at the end of the book, when she "revealed" (Laurence had already heard), during the celebrations, that Laurence's childhood sweetheart had gotten married.
* Lila Fowler in the ''[[Sweet Valley High]]'' series.
Line 187 ⟶ 181:
* Hattie from ''[[Ella Enchanted]]''. She not only messes around with Ella's life, but orders her to hand over the necklace that her ''mother'' used to wear simply because she fancied it, and she also steals Ella's breakfast after claiming that it's "too rich for her". In the movie, she's even worse, as she and Olive actually get Ella ''arrested'' after inadvertently discovering her "gift", have her blame her friend for it, and tell her to never speak to her again and, just to add a bit of [[Fantastic Racism]] to the mix, tell her to say that she could never be friends with an Ayorthian.
* Clarissa from the ''[[Bloody Jack]]'' series. Also overlaps with [[Rich Bitch]]. She gets better in the later books though.
* Not a school-related example, but Diamanda from ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]'' and Annagramma from the Tiffany Aching books botheach exhibit Alpha Bitch tendency to surround herself with envious admirers who aren't as good-looking, and then treat these other girls like dirt.
* Blair from ''[[Gossip Girl]]'', arguably more so in the books than in the TV series. On the show, she's just a [[Rich Bitch]] with an [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]; in the books, her behavior actually borders on sociopathic/bipolar/just plain crazy.
* Carleen [[Tastes Like Diabetes|Lovejoy]] dominates the school and antagonizes the narrator in Richard Peck's ''A Year Down Yonder''.
* Jeanine Bryant in ''[[Replica]]'' is replaced later by Simone Cussack.
* Aspeth Montgomery in ''Prep'' by Curtis Sittenfeld.
* In [[Aaron Allston]]'s ''[[Galatea in 2-D]]'', Roger [[Art Initiates Life|falls into some paintings]] he made as a teenager and find his hopeless crush in high school, [[Magical Girlfriend|crazy about him]] but as shallow as she had ever been. (He notes that she had grown up when he met her at the reunion.)
* Constanza Grayfoot from ''[[Midnighters]]'' is the fashion-obsessed queen of the school who struts about with her girl posse and dreams of being an actress in L.A. She's part Native American, not blonde, and is more harmlessly superficial than actually evil, but instead of reading like an interesting variation on the trope, she reads like a watered-down copy of [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Cordelia Chase.]] She is, however, different from most Alpha Bitches in that she is genuinely nice to and supportive of Jess, including slapping a boy who tried to sexually assault her and giving her advice about her relationship with Jonathan.
Line 216 ⟶ 210:
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* Alison from ''[[Pretty Little Liars (TV series)|Pretty Little Liars]]''. She has her own [[Girl Posse]] - the Liars - and is at the top of the social pyramid. She's willing to do anything to stay there, including blackmail and bribery.
* ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]''
** Libby epitomizes this trope, she was once the [[Trope Namer]]. In one episode, she fell from popularity and wound up in the science club. She simply reinvented her look and turned the club into the same sort of clique the cheerleading squad had been. We would occasionally be given hints that Libby wasn't so bad, and that, someday, she might become a good person, but this [[Status Quo Is God|never happens]].
** According to one of the tie-in novels, she actually had ''Presidential'' aspirations, with a plan and everything. High school was just the beginning.
** In the movie version, which preceded the TV series, there's a proto-Alpha Bitch character (played by a different actress) who ''is'' blonde and is named Katie.
* Heather Chandler in ''[[Chuck]]'', played to great effect by Nicole Ritchie, is Sarah's version of this trope, tailored especially for Sarah in this case, as Heather is also a {{spoiler|Femme Fatale}} in addition to still being an Alpha Bitch as a grownup.
* ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]''
** Paige Michalchuk is, strangely, a [[Rich Bitch]] who isn't rich. She's the head cheerleader (who takes credit for other girls' work), and she's a horrendous snob toward anyone less popular than herself. But when school is out, she has to work a minimum-wage job. Paige became a subversion of this trope. It was pulled off arguably well. While she had a lot of moments setting this trope up, they peppered in [[Pet the Dog]] moments to keep her from being irredeemable, mostly with Spinner, Alex, and J.T.
Line 234 ⟶ 228:
* Stephanie Kaye from the 1980s ''[[Degrassi Junior High]]'' is a rare case where the Alpha Bitch is one of the protagonists. As a result, she has frequent [[Pet the Dog]] moments in between her bullying.
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Jackie is a stereotypical example of this trope (although when ''her'' karmic retribution comes, it's a bit more severe than growing up to lead an unfulfilled life). The second season has Debbie, who is a copy of Jackie right down to being the blond head cheerleader.
* Missy Meany in ''[[Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide]]'' -- an—an Alpha Bitch with [[Theme Naming]].
* ''[[Summer Heights High]]'' features a parody of this trope, in the form of Ja'mie (played by a man doing a convincing impression), and, to a much lesser extent, her "friends" (played by real girls).
* Chelsea Breur in ''[[Naturally, Sadie]]''. Replaced in second season by Arden Alcot.
* From ''[[Veronica Mars]]'', three words: Madison Freaking Sinclair.
* ''[[That's So Raven]]'': the one-time character Nicki.
Line 248 ⟶ 242:
** Another episode has a former Alpha Bitch from the Fifties, who became caught up in second-wave feminism and eventually became a teacher. Her remorse over her treatment of the victim causes her to give the team a vital clue.
** "Sleepover" revolved around a [[Title Drop|sleepover]] at the house of a young Alpha Bitch who poached the victim's best friend into her girl posse. She was also a [[Creepy Child]] who killed the family pet. Her parents' form of discipline was disturbing to put it nicely.
* Maritza from ''Taina'' was one of these. She wanted to be an actress too, but she was far more ruthless than Taina and Renee. She even refers to herself as an "Evil Diva" -- which—which you really would agree with. However, there actually ''are'' several moments in which Maritza joins forces with Taina and Renee because they each have a common rival, or they want to make money and she would like to be in on it.
* Cassie Lynn Nubbles from ''[[Family Matters]]''. As Steve Urkel put it, she was "the poster child for useless people".
* ''[[Freaks and Geeks]]''
** Vicki Appleby is initially depicted as one of these, but it's subverted in "Smooching and Mooching", when she opens up to Bill in a [[Ten Minutes in the Closet]] session and becomes a bit of a [[Defrosting Ice Queen]].
** Cindy Sanders is originally set up as the sweet [[Girl Next Door]], but once she and Sam finally get together, she turns into a shallow, vapid, Republican bitch.
** One of the episodes features a transfer student who befriends the Geeks, who try to keep her away from the popular crowd in the fear that she'll become one of these. It doesn't work, and she joins the popular crowd -- butcrowd—but later episodes reveal that, despite what the Geeks fear, she's still friendly towards them.
* Twist from ''[[Spaced]]'', a post-high-school version. Twist is attractive and fashionable, but she works in a dry cleaners and seems to have only one "friend", Daisy, whom she showers with back-handed compliments. Daisy doesn't seem to notice that Twist is an awful friend until the end of the show.
* Subverted in ''[[30 Rock|Thirty Rock]]'', where Liz Lemon dreads meeting the Alpha Bitch at her [[Class Reunion]]. As it turns out, that school's Alpha Bitch was, in fact, a nice popular girl, whereas all of her classmates regarded Liz as a [[Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up|bully]] because of her cruel putdowns.
Line 261 ⟶ 255:
** Meanwhile, Terri is heavily implied to be a former Alpha Bitch and now has an unhappy adulthood because of it.
** Oddly enough, although Rachel is nominally the heroine of ''Glee'' and (at least in season 1) Quinn's antagonist, within the glee club itself, ''she'' actually functions as the Alpha Bitch due to her unrelenting tendency to belittle, disregard, and demean the other members of the club unless forced to behave otherwise (she calls Kurt and Mercedes 'lesser glee clubbers' to their faces, and tells Tina and Mike that if a potential new recruit can dance, their contribution to the club will be 'even more insignificant than it already is', in quick succession in 2x01, and then ''sends her new rival to a crackhouse instead of the audition''). Her specialty is sweetly offering a brutal putdown and justifying it as 'honesty'. While she gets brought down to earth relatively frequently, it never seems to stick.
* On [[Everybody Loves Raymond]], there are ''two competing'' characters with [[Alpha Bitch]] qualities. Marie, the family matriarch has basically been running the family for decades by guilt-tripping them into doing her bidding. Debra, Marie's daughter-in-law tries to assert herself against Marie, initially in a reasonable way but later on by adopting [[Alpha Bitch]] qualities herself. Marie's ability to maintain her position as the senior [[Alpha Bitch]] causes junior [[Alpha Bitch]] Debra to take out her frustrations by asserting herself as the dictator of her own household, often beating or insulting her husband Ray when he attempts to rebel.
* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''
** Subverted: Paris Geller bullies Rory (and almost everyone else) mostly out of insecurity, has two sidekicks who are taller than she is, but isn't popular and is respected only for her intelligence and dedication. She also gets brought down to earth in later seasons.
Line 271 ⟶ 265:
* Pinky (played by [[Jennette McCurdy]]), on ''[[True Jackson, VP|True Jackson VP]]''.
* May Phelps (played by Laura Aikman) on ''[[Casualty]]'', who also has elements of the [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] trope too.
* Banning Miller in the ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' episode "Shindig" definitely qualifies, complete with posse. She is very satisfyingly put in her place by a distinguished old man in true [[Gentleman Snarker]] fashion after she sets her sights upon Kaylee in her store-bought dress.
* Rhonda from ''[[Sister, Sister]]'' (played by Bianca Lawson) was 'prom queen three years running' and consistently Alpha Bitchy until the 4th season episode 'You are so Beautiful', where the character is played by male actor Larry Wrentz to imply (to a ridiculous degree) that Rhonda had lost her looks over the summer (along with her bad attitude). The character is never heard from again a la [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]].
* The BBC TV series ''[[New Tricks]]'' has an episode where Detective Superintendent Sandra Pulman was afraid to go to her High School re-union, eventually revealing that it was because she was the school Alpha Bitch. A colleague persuaded her to go, assuring her that people forget these things over the years. However, when she arrived, someone had drawn a devil's horns & beard in red lipstick on her photo in the lobby and she left in a hurry!
* ''[[Neighbours]]'' had Jessica Wallace.
* ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'' had a very ''dark'' use of the Alpha Bitch in the episode "Unleashed". In it, the Homecoming Queen, as well as her cheerleading squad, in retribution for the Homecoming King dumping her for Maria, ended up posting obscene messages towards Maria, the victim of the day, through the internet in huge numbers. If that wasn't enough, they also ended up uploading a viral video of Maria allegedly saying "slut" and "whore" on the web, and managed to post a website featuring Maria's face on a mule claiming that she's a bitch, eventually garnering over 1,000,000 hits. This doesn't end well for Maria at all, as she eventually broke down from this and other extremely tragic circumstances and committed suicide, nearly taking her developing baby with her, had the Las Vegas police not been there, discovered that she was pregnant, and performed a c-section surgery on her. The Alpha Bitch and her friends ended up paying dearly for it by going to jail.
* A truly monstrous Alpha Bitch is the [[Victim of the Week]] in the ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' episode "Stoned Cold". She ends up being stoned to death by ''{{spoiler|the parents of}}'' the people she tormented.
* ''[[CSI New York]]'': a girl named [[Trope Namer|Libby]] was pretty nasty: {{spoiler|she pretended to make friends with homely girls, dolled them up, had her boyfriend take their virginity, wrote all about it online, and gave the girls big necklaces so everyone would know. The sister of one of her victims strangled her, and then part of her house fell on her. Incidentally, that was the second time that week the killer on a ''CSI'' show said "I killed them and I'm not sorry" (the other time was on ''CSI'' where a kid shot his abusive dad).}}
* Brooke McQueen in ''[[Popular]]'', despite Sam's initial beliefs, is not an Alpha Bitch, but more of a [[Spoiled Sweet]]. The distinction of Alpha Bitch truly belongs to her nominal second-in-command, the wonderfully Machiavellian Nicole Julian.
* Kate on ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'', though some episodes do hint that she's not really that bad, and she does seem to get a little better in the movie. One episode has her break her arm so she can't be head cheerleader anymore, and her replacement, Claire, is even worse.
* Taylor from ''[[Caitlin's Way|Caitlins Way]]'', although every once in a while she and Caitlin managed to actually get along.
* ''[[South of Nowhere]]'' had Madison
* Doña Florinda from the Mexican sitcom, ''[[El Chavo Deldel Ocho]]'', is thought by some to be an older version of this trope.
* For the third time on this page, Ethel Hallow in ''[[The Worst Witch]]''. Her two younger sisters are quite nice, though.
** In the spin-off series, ''The New Worst Witch,'' Belladonna Bindweed is an even nastier example; she's a more malicious Ethel Hallow, ''without'' any of Ethel's [[Freudian Excuse|Freudian Excuses]]s or redeeming qualities.
* ''[[Community]]'' has Megan, played by [[Hilary Duff]].
* Miu Kazashiro from ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'' starts out as this trope. But after one of her sidekicks voluntarily turned into a monster and tried to kill her, its revealed that she is a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] when she forgives said sidekick. She also befriends the main character and joins his club, while she first thought of him as .<ref>said in [[Gratuitous English]]</ref> .
* ''[[Raising Hope]]'': Virginia's cousin Delilah is an Alpha Bitch who never grew out of it.
* Sadie in ''Awkward''
* Lexi Reed on [[ANTA.N.T. Farm]], though she's gradually become [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|more likeable]].
* Abigail Armstrong or "Abby" of the Australian produced TV series ''Dance Academy'' is a highly competitive ballerina that will verbally assail any other student that she sees a threat to her goals sometimes outright sabotaging theirs. Despite all of this the other lead characters still put up with her in a somewhat friendly manner which softens Abigail's harsh personality very slightly. One of the leading male characters has an unconditional crush on Abby. No matter how she treats him he still seems to be in love with the alpha bitch. Abigail considers the other lead females to be her "Frienemies".
* In ''[[The Finder]]'' Willa went to a beach party with a bunch of rich kids. The girls there in one exchange fit this trope and [[Girl Posse]] to a T, being catty and snobbish to Willa's more down to earth style of dress. ...Willa then ''borrowed'' the Alpha's car on her way out of there.
* In ''[[Wednesday]]'', Bianca comes across as of this in the first few episodes, quickly becoming Wednesday's rival. Later she evolves into a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]].
 
 
== Music ==
Line 303 ⟶ 297:
* [[Emily Osment]] expresses her contempt for such a girl in her song "I Hate the Homecoming Queen".
* The girl in the blue dress in the music video for [[Paramore]]'s "Misery Business."
* In the Fleming & John song "Ugly Girl", the girl singing appears to be an Alpha Bitch who is trash-talking her ex's new girlfriend who she considers ugly.
* A [[Alternative Character Interpretation|possible interpretation]] of the singer's [[Love Interest]] in "Just The Girl" by The Click Five.
* The rival in Saving Jane's "Girl Next Door". However, it is potentially subverted in that the protagonist does have a boyfriend, seems more of a loner, naturally, and is more edgy, wanting to "hit her", when the only indication of the rival purposefully bothering her is when she pushes her books, which might be imagined in a [[Dream Sequence]]. It gives rise to the [[Alternative Character Interpretation|possible interpretation]] that the protagonist is actually just insecure and jealous of a girl more popular than she is, and that the popular girl isn't a bad person at all.
* Red Union, a serbian punk band, has "I Hate Girls Like You", about the protagonist trying to teach and help the Alpha Bitch to be a better person, but being frustrated by her shallow attitude and unwillingness to learn.
* The singer in [https://web.archive.org/web/20151012145428/http://barryandthebookbinders.com/ Barry & the Bookbinders]' song "2 Hot 4 U, Part II" is very clearly an Alpha Bitch:
{{quote|''Oh my god, you little geek,
''Get away before I freak.
''I'm a babe and you are not.
''You can't handle what I've got.}}
 
== Newspaper Comics ==
* ''[[Peanuts]]''
** Violet is the elementary school epitome of this trope (though she has dark hair). She always leads the other catty girls in picking on Charlie Brown.
** Patty (not Peppermint Patty, the other one) occasionally had some of these traits in the early years as well.
* Tiffany from ''[[Luanne]]'', though her popularity [[Informed Ability|might be in her head]] considering ''she lost her own beauty contest''.
 
== ProProfessional Wrestling ==
* WWE Divas Michelle McCool and Layla El were vapid, brainless co-champions (the last co-champions were over-caffeinated male cheerleaders for reference). They seemed to exist only to insult every other Diva on the Smackdown roster. They started with trying to say that [https://web.archive.org/web/20101225065023/http://squashberry.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mickieJames.jpg Mickie James] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20100210103621/http://www.rawwrestlingdivas.com/pictures/beth-phoenix-1.jpg Beth Phoenix] were fat and ugly. Eventually, they wised up and used only non-visual insults, saying that Kelly Kelly had bad body odor ("Smelly Kelly!") and just treating Rosa Mendes like dirt (although they occasionally still called [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103111454/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/images/11/19/bella-twins.jpg The Bella Twins] "The Belly Twins"). Michelle was tall and blonde, fitting the traditional visual aid for this trope; Layla, [[Salt and Pepper|by contrast]], was rather short and [[Ambiguously Brown]] (Moroccan father, English mother), making her a rare African-American example of this trope.
* Who Lay-Cool was based on, TNA's Beautiful People: Angelina Love, Velvet Sky, and Madison Rayne. Recently, however, things have changed so much that Madison is the only one who is still a heel (at least, the only heel by her own decision, anyway). Additionally, their Alpha Bitch tendency of "Cleansing the world, one ugly person at a time," has disappeared and they just genuinely hate each other.
** They also temporarily had amongst their ranks Lacey [[The Von Trope Family|Von Erich]], a third-generation female wrestler and (at least in appearance) an uncanny [[Expy]] for WWE's [[Kelly Kelly]].
Line 317 ⟶ 321:
* Alberto Del Rio is another male example, acting as the brand's "Mexican Aristocrat." He lives in a swank mansion, enters arenas in (among other lavish automobiles) a Rolls-Royce with an obnoxiously loud "La Cucaracha" horn, and constantly puts down other Mexican-descended wrestlers ([[Rey Mysterio]] most of all) for not embodying the spirit of the Mexican people as well as he does. And just to drive home what a rich pussy he is, he climbs into the ring wearing a ''white scarf''.
 
== TheaterTheatre ==
 
== Theater ==
* How Glinda initially appears in ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'', down to the dizziness, fashion obsession, and sheeplike [[Girl Posse]], until undergoing [[Character Development]] in the first act. Later, as her social influence becomes outright political power, she becomes a [[Stepford Smiler]] and, finally, [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask]].
* Even bearing the trope name, Alpha Bitch Michaels of Clifford Odets's ''Paradise Lost''. In [[One-Scene Wonder|typical Odets fashion]], she gets some interesting and dark depth: initially the frivilous fiancée of the Gordon family's athlete son Ben, she dumps him for his slimy social-climber "friend" who gets Ben fatally injured.
* Lucy in ''[[Thirteen (theatre)13|Thirteen]]'' is the stereotypical Alpha Bitch, but she's only second in command after [[The Brainless Beauty]] Kendra.
* Amber Von Tussle from ''[[Hairspray]]''. She learned it from her mother Velma, who is an Alpha Bitch grown up. They both [[Heel Face Turn|get better]] at the end though.
* Adrian in ''The Shape of a Girl''.
 
 
== Video Games ==
Line 333 ⟶ 335:
* ''[[Psychonauts]]''
** Black Velvetopia's supposedly perfect and gorgeous flamenco dancer Lampita turns out to be an [[Unreliable Narrator|idealized and romanticized version of a girl who crushed Edgar in high school]], who proved to be this.
** Back at camp, Kitty seems to fill this role, with Franke acting as her sidekick. Elka also has shades of this, but is generally more worried about her love life than anything else.
* Linda and Nicole, from ''[[Snowboard Kids]] Plus''.
 
=== Visual Novels ===
 
* ''[[Yume Miru Kusuri]]'': Kyoka -- calledKyoka—called [[Marie Antoinette|"Antoinette"]] by the main character, after the infamous French queen whose extravagant spending on things such as mansions and the like ([[Historical Villain Upgrade|although a lot of it was exaggerated by enemies]]) while people were starving out on the fields was a prime example of the kind of thing that led to the French Revolution -- isRevolution—is the antagonist of Aeka's route. Something that's kind of odd to this trope is that she had a crush on the lead from the beginning and tried to get with him several times, though the lead just found her annoying. {{spoiler|This doesn't stop her from targeting him along with Aeka once it becomes official that the two are going out, though. It gets pretty brutal. This goes for the backlash, as well, which sees Kouhei and Aeka turn the tables on and nearly kill Kyoka when she decides to have her friends pin down Kouhei so that he can watch Kyoka's boyfriend rape Aeka.}}

== Web Comics ==
* Subverted by ''[[El Goonish Shive]]''; Diane fits the stereotype perfectly, but the setup turns it inside out. First, we see her as a "Mooching Tease Pimp" and Nanase keeps brushing off ''her'' attempts to get her into the [[Girl Posse]]. Then, Diane [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2007-06-19 does] one [[Sherlock Scan]] and [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-02-01 is shown] to be caring, implying that it's [[Jerkass Facade]]. She seemedwas tointroduced beas the most shallow and mundane character around, but nowafter a few scenes we can only [[Epileptic Trees|guess]] who and what she is. It is almost certain is that she's not a magic-user.
** When she does not put an effort in posturing, well... [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1840 Diane rants], [[Tsundere|not that she's interested in Elliot or anything]]! [http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2059 Diane is hiding] her fangirl-ishness (and maybe a little envy?) toward Nanase... poorly.
* Subverted by ''[[Footloose (webcomic)|Footloose]]''; Sparkle is very intelligent and somewhat [[Genre Savvy]]. {{spoiler|She still gets her comeuppance though.}}
* Subversion: In ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', Penny is a popular girl, and seems like an Alpha Bitch at first (in contrast to the independent-minded Aggie). As the story progresses, however, Penny turns out to be a decent, observant, intelligent person, with most of the conflicts between her and Aggie being initiated by the latter.
* On the other hand, Carrie of ''[[Loserz]]'' is the epitome of this trope, or is at least trying to be. See [https://web.archive.org/web/20100814160707/http://bukucomics.com/loserz/index.php?comicID=144 here].
* Charlotte Peechi from ''[[Annyseed]]''. She displays all the common character traits, yet later, it is revealed that she's not the most popular girl in the school and hasn't exactly been spoiled by her parents. Will she get her comeuppance? All will eventually be revealed.
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' briefly features [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060929 Cindi]. Subverted when she wanders rather badly out of her league in [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=061005 this strip].
* Sayuri Morita in ''[[Red String]]''. However, her nastiness eventually comes back to bite her, and the main characters actually ''haven't'' gone and befriended her yet.
* Kharisma in ''[[Something *Positive]]''. Oh ''Lawdy'' does she get her comeuppance. And then some.
* Felicia Laine in ''[[Ozy and Millie]]'' fits most of the characteristics of an Alpha Bitch, despite being in elementary school. In subversion of the trope, however, she's not stupid (as much as she acts the part), nor does she have any attraction to the strip's [[Jerk Jock]] Jeremy (indeed, they've never even met). Her infatuations are mostly directed at the members of boy band ''du jour''.
* You'd think that with cheerleaders as protagonists, ''[[The Wotch|Cheer!]]'' would be free of Libbies. [https://web.archive.org/web/20080911230816/http://cheer.thewotch.com/index.php?date=20051001 You'd be wrong].
* Sarah and Cass from ''[[YU+ME: dream]]'', though Sarah and Fiona were childhood friends.
* ''[[Misfile]]''
** Emily's pre-misfile friend Molly. An [http://www.misfile.com/?page=1188 arc back in 2009] has Emily going to her for advice on how to deal with [[The Rival]], Missi.
** Jenny Jr. shows many characteristics of an Alpha Bitch as well.
* ''[[Shadowgirls]]'' gave us Misty -- anMisty—an Alpha Bitch that crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. Her mother possibly was one in the past, but it's not sure.
* In ''[[Blip]]'', Mary is a narcissistic, shallow, vain robot. On at least two occasions, she's been accused of using her Alpha Bitchiness to mask insecurity. Notwithstanding, she does seem to care about K and her friends. [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Maybe.]] At the start of the comic, she and K had a nasty falling-out, and refused to speak to each other for years. Mary makes the first reconciliatory gesture, and the two proceed to ''immediately'' bury the hatchet.
* Though a minor character, Julia Greenhilt is clearly the Alpha Bitch of her magic school in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', complete with two tagalong friends with whom she gossips about other students' clothing choices.
* ''[[Eerie Cuties]]''
** s [http://www.eeriecuties.com/d/20100721.html Melissa Hellrune], a classic Alpha Bitch, except she's not a ditz.
** The ''[[Spin-Off]]'' comic ''[[Magick Chicks]]'' starts turning Cerise into the Alpha Bitch, much to Melissa's chagrin. And their new school already has an Alpha Bitch that they want overthrow. Faith is a [[Schoolgirl Lesbian]] and [[Telepath]] who uses [[Emotion Control]] to make herself queen of a neglected and poorly used (but vigorously defended when there's a threat) harem at their all-girl school. She seriously dates a boy from outsidethe [[Spear Counterpart|counterpart boy school]] as sort of [[Worthy Opponent]], and treats girls as disposable conquests. The main plot of ''Magick Chicks'' is transfer Alpha Bitch v. current Alpha Bitch v. wannabe Alpha Bitch.
* In the ''[[Scary Go Round]]'' [[Spin-Off]] ''Giant Days'', where Esther de Groot goes to university, she meets three former head girls, each of whom was probably the Alpha Bitch back at their respective schools. Although instead of (or perhaps "in addition to") cheerleading, each of them knows a specific style of [[Dark Action Girl|martial arts]].
* ''[[Khaos Komix]]'' gives us Natalie Geln, who is probably [[Up to Eleven|even more cruel]] than your standard Alpha Bitch.
* ''[[Bridges]]'' features head cheerleader Lana, who is controlling of her squad to a borderline psychopathic level.
* ''[[Lulu Cthulhu]]'' features three of these who have undertaken the mission to make all the losers feel accepted at Valentines' by giving chocolate to losers. They genuinely don't seem to understand why being singled out as losers doesn't make people happy.
* ''[[Princess Pi]]'' has Sam, Alex, and Butch, also known as the Totally Nazis. The story "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch" even uses this trope's name in reference to Sam, although Pi [[I Thought It Meant|expresses confusion]] about the term's meaning. <ref>She thought it referred to a canine ''[[Sesame Street]]'' character who helped children learn about letters.</ref>
* ''[[Zodiac Blues]]'' gives us Lia, who calls even her boyfriend a 'loser'.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' has Vriska, who uses violence, intimidation and ''actual mind control'' to secure her status as a high-ranking and powerful SGRUB player.
* ''Young Cannibals'' (''[[Peanuts]]'' parody) presents [//www.smackjeeves.com/discover/detail?titleNo=8027&articleNo=4 Gemma]… except not only she's airheaded, but no one respects her, including her dog. According to the author's comment later, "gemma is how I would imagine Paris Hilton would be when she was six years old".

Line 375 ⟶ 376:
* Helena van Garrett (v1) and the Sisterhood (v2) from ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]''. Sally Connelly (v4) also falls into this territory.
* Trisha from ''[[The War Comms]]'' is an overblown caricature of this trope, which is probably why she also serves as a [[Butt Monkey]] for the saner socks.
* ''[[ThaliasThalia's Musings]]''
** Aphrodite, though somewhat subverted in that she has no [[Girl Posse]] and is excluded from the other Olympian cliques.
** Hera is a straight example, being the queen of the gods and having her [[Girl Posse]] of Demeter and Hestia. Also she often puts down other gods and goddesses. She also often suffers humiliations due to her husband's chronic infidelities and having to put up with his bastard children on a daily basis.
Line 382 ⟶ 383:
* Ami in ''[[Sailor Nothing]]'' is one. She eventually pays ''dearly'' for it, becoming an instant [[Woobie]] in a [[Shoot the Dog|single scene]] that's so horrific it makes [[I Wished You Were Dead|the protagonists feel guilty for hating her]]. Aki is a subversion: she's pretty, popular and head of the Fashion Club, but she is (secretly) friends with the class weirdo and feels trapped by the superficiality of her life. After she's publicly humiliated and dethroned, she realizes it's the best thing that ever happened to her and turns out to be a [[Spoiled Sweet|pretty nice person]].
* Kelly from ''The Crazy Kids of Grade 5'' is rich, spoiled, and thinks she is the leader of the 5th grade popular group.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* Bonnie Rockwaller on ''[[Kim Possible]]'', except she tries (repeatedly and in vain) to usurp the role of captain from the cheerleading heroine. Bonnie did eventually become cheerleading captain in one episode, and much to Kim's initial dismay, proves to be exceptionally competent and dedicated to the job (though she doesn't become any less bitchy). Kim eventually decides to not fight it, as she's sure Bonnie will get [[Wanting Is Better Than Having|sick and tired of all the hard work involved with being squad captain]]. And she's right; the next episode showing the cheerleading, [[Status Quo Is God|Kim's clearly back in charge]].
* Mandy from ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' Extra points for being shallow.
* Tami from the sequel show ''[[The Amazing Spiez]]'' too, albeit [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|frequently more likeable]].
* Paulina from ''[[Danny Phantom]]''.
* Rhonda Wellington Lloyd comes between this and [[Rich Bitch]] in some episodes of ''[[Hey Arnold!]]''. However, she actually ''is'' shown to have a friendly side, since her best friend Nadine actually ''is'' implied to be a middle-class girl (and with almost ''completely different interests'' than Rhonda. Nadine loves arthopods, Rhonda loves fashion).
* Gemini Stone from ''[[Sabrina the Animated Series]]''.
* The Ashleys in ''[[Recess]]''. Despite having some moments where they aren't a bunch of [[Rich Bitch|Rich Bitches]]es, they spend the majority of the series wanting to screw with everyone for the sake of being mean.
* Sierra McCool in Disney's ''[[The Replacements (animation)|The Replacements]]''.
* ''[[The Oblongs]]'' has Debbie Klimer and her posse of identical Debbie clones.
* Mindy from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'' is a much younger Alpha Bitch, as well as an [[Psycho Lesbian|incredibly obsessive one.]] For example, she loses her head cheerleader position to Mandy (who just shouts the game plans to the team) and, after consulting the "patron saint of cheerleading" (a trophy she thinks is talking), decides the best solution is to incapacitate her in some way in the middle of a match, or, failing that, ''blow her up''. If she sees Mandy with anyone aside from Billy or Irwin or the like, she walks up to them, puts on an obscenely perky face, and says "You're my ''best'' friend!"
* Miranda Kilgallen in ''[[As Told by Ginger]]'', however, she is the second-in-command to the [[Girl Posse]] leader and [[The Brainless Beauty|Brainless Beauty]] Courtney Gripling. She also [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosts a little.]] She never exactly becomes friendly, but she's a lot worse at the start than she is at the end.
** Courtney is a nice inversion of this. She's the queen bee; pretty, rich, popular, and more than a little narcissistic, (a self-proclaimed snob), but [[Spoiled Sweet|she's a genuinely sweet person who doesn't seem to harbor any malice towards anyone]]- unlike her friend Miranda. While her sidekick Miranda is quick to insult the unpopular girls, Courtney is friendly with them.
* Elisabeth "Sissi" Delmas in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' is a strange version of this. In the first season, this is played straight, with the exception of a few scenes in only a few episodes. However, her assistance to the heroes in later seasons, particularly the second and fourth, is often offered without second thought or a specific request for a reward, though this can happen quite a bit in a life-or-death situation. It seems that [[Depending on the Writer|her personality alternates between seasons]], from a straight Alpha Bitch with several [[Pet the Dog]] moments in Seasons 1 and 3 to a more [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] in Seasons 2 and 4.<br />And odder, her Alpha Bitch persona was caused by the heroes themselves. {{spoiler|In the origins episode in Season 3, it's revealed that she was with them when they found the supercomputer, but broke their secret out of concern for their welfare. After the [[Reset Button]] is pushed the first time, the heroes decide to give her the cold shoulder so they can continue helping Aelita. So this does explain her flip-flopping behavoir a bit. By the end of the show, they've clearly come to think better of things and re-accept Sissi as their friend.}}
* Patty Smirnov and Mattie O'Hare, the [[School Newspaper Newshound|school journalists]] in ''[[Monster Allergy]]''.
* In ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', Shirley was unlucky enough to be in a ballet class with ''four'' girls who fit the criteria (only one - Giselle - had a name, but all four were equally nasty); naturally from Perfecto Prep (Acme Looniversity's rival) the four "stuck-up snobs" (as Babs called them) said mean things about her accent, called her an airhead, and an "ugly little mud hen", and said she isn't fit to dance with them. Worst of all, Shirley overheard, and when they realized this, they didn't care. They tried to make her look bad at a recital, although this quickly degenerated into the four of them [[Dark Action Girl|blatantly trying to crush Shirley]], leading to one of the weirdest cases of [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] on the show; who'd ever imagine that ''Swan Lake'' could be used in a fight scene? Fortunately for Shirley, Babs had her back, sabotaging their part of the recital with a variety of toon-favored weapons (banana peels, anvils and the like) giving Shirley the glory and the spotlight.
* ''[[Winx Club]]''
** A girl from Bloom's old hometown named Mitzi definitely fit the bill, despite appearing only a few times. On the Halloween episode, she invited Bloom and her friends to a party - which turned out to be an elaborate scheme to humiliate the girls. She bought and rigged a house, made up an elaborate legend, hired actors to pose as party guests (complete with scripts), and set up elaborate special effects around the house, just to pull a prank on someone she had barely seen in two years, along with four girls she had never met. Mitzi gets a more prominent role in some episodes of the fourth season: {{spoiler|she lays her eyes on Brandon and wants to take him from Stella}}. Later, {{spoiler|the Wizards of the Black Circle temporarily turn her and two friends into evil fairies.}} After that, she's practically [[Put on a Bus]].
Line 404 ⟶ 405:
* In ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'', [[All Guys Want Cheerleaders|Cheerleader]] Sally Avril is the most abusive girl in M³'s [[Six-Student Clique]], even mercilessly mocking fellow clique-member Flash Thompson when his [[Hero Worshipper|hero]], Spider-Man, appears to be committing robberies. Slightly subverted when Peter's aunt has a heart attack as Flash mentions that even Sally feels sorry for him, although she is not as forthcoming with her sympathies as his friends are. Both she and [[Jerk Jock|Flash]] have gone through a bit of [[Character Development]]. When she thinks that Peter's been killed, Sally is horrified. She does ''say'' it's because she'll have to tell Liz and Liz "looks awful in black", but when she sees that Peter's okay, she performs a textbook [[Anger Born of Worry]]. A bit later, she tells him that no, she doesn't care, but she doesn't want him to be blown to bits, she's not a monster.
* ''[[Daria]]''
** Sandi Griffin, who is outright emotionally abusive even to the other members of her own clique (Stacy Rowe in particular). It isn't until the series' final season that her position of control is finally first slowly undermined by both Quinn starting to distance herself from the group and Stacy gaining a sense of self-confidence, and then finally lost when the other three members of the Fashion Club all agree to dissolve the group and she agrees last, as a face-saving measure. One of the potential futures shown at the end of the series (in place of the usual series of pictures) shows Sandi being a hostess and maintaining her queen bee attitude.
** And her ''mother'' is also as bad... given that household, it's a surprise her brothers weren't utter bitches.
* Trixie Tang of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' is rich and popular AND lusted after by everyone, including Timmy, the main character. However, in the episode The Boy Who Would Be Queen, a genderbended Timmy learns that there is another side to Trixie -- aTrixie—a boyish side that likes comics and video games, which would shock all of the people who worship her. She says that all she wants for her birthday is a friend who understands this, but when Timmy arrives at her party and makes the offer, she saves face.<ref> It's possible that this side of her personality is hinted at in ''The Big Superhero Wish!'' and ''Wishology''. In both specials, she apparently enjoys being in action scenes</ref>.
* Penelope Lang in ''[[Atomic Betty]]'', [[Asian Airhead|who coincidentally also looks Asian]]. Her two cohorts are a pair of sycophantic nerds.
* Tricia from ''[[Sixteen|6teen]]''.
* ''[[Total Drama Island]]''
** Heather has pulled this off quite well in a non-high-school setting.
** Courtney also qualifies as one due to her bossy, over-competitive nature.
* Tiff and Brit, the Krust Cousins from ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]''.
Line 416 ⟶ 417:
** Beebe Bluff is a subversion. The richest (their middle school was named after her by her Dad), most popular, and somewhat snobby and spoiled, she was actually quite nice to everyone despite these character traits. She even ended up being Doug's [[First Kiss]] in a sweet way.
** [[Jerk Jock]] Roger adds some Alpha Bitch traits after he becomes rich in the [[Retool]]. Although Beebe does ''not'' want to get involved with him in any way.
* Pacifica Northwest in ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' is this initially; after some [[Character Development]] reveals [[Hidden Depths]] (and horribly abusive parents) she evolves into a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]].
* ''[[Rugrats]]''
** Angelica became this in the transition from ''Rugrats'' to ''[[All Grown Up!]]'', though she's admittedly ''less'' of a jerk than she used to be, being a rather [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] instead of an [[Enfante Terrible]]. Maturity can do that to you sometimes...
** She's ''less'' of an Alpha Bitch compared to Savannah Shane, a girl whom even Angelica can't stand (and yet, she always seemed to be trying to get in her good graces). A particularly strong example comes from the episode when Savannah plans a party on the same day as Angelica's thirteenth birthday party, and it's found out that she did it on purpose to "teach Angelica a lesson" after sitting at her lunch table.
* ''[[Monster Buster Club]]'' gives us a subversion of the [[Always Female]] rule. Resident Alpha Bitch Mark is a ''male'' Spoiled Blond Rich Kid who delights in insulting and generally being less than pleasant with the four [[Kid Hero|kid heroes]]es, apparently for no reason. He may, in fact, be this show's answer to Sissi from ''[[Code Lyoko]]''; as it has been pointed out, ''Monster Buster Club'' [[Shallow Parody|rather seems to take after it.]]
* On the show ''[[Horseland]]'', we have sisters Chloe and Zoey Stilton, who are Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in appearance. They're definitely Alpha Bitches, and also [[Rich Bitch]] material... oddly enough, they seem to have bigger "boobs" than the other girls. That's not accurate, let me rephrase... none of the girls, who are about 13, have "boobs", they have "bumps". But Chloe and Zoey seem to be drawn a little bigger.
* Carla Cabrera & Melanie Melisma from ''[[Growing Up Creepie]]''.
Line 431 ⟶ 433:
* Nina Harker from ''[[Braceface]]''. Interesting, though, in that she and the protagonist, Sharon Spitz, where actually best friends when they were little. But a mishap with one of Nina's dolls that got its head popped off ended their friendship when she accused Sharon of being the culprit. So her bullying Sharon is more or less out of spite. They do somewhat reconcile as the series goes on. Especially by season 3 when {{spoiler|its revealed that Sharon was indeed innocent of the doll incident. Nina's cousin was the cause of that.}}
* Dawn from ''[[The Buzz on Maggie]]''.
* ''[[The Mighty B!]]''{{'}}s Portia is the stuck-up, [[Valley Girl]], blonde Alpha Bitch, with front teeth that are even uglier than the main protagonist's. Her cousin and mother are even worse.
* ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' has two: Blade, who doubles as [[Rich Bitch]], and Chelsea, who [[Lovable Alpha Bitch|is usually alota lot more sympathetic]].
* ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' has Kendall Perkins, a strange and unique case of an Alpha Bitch who likes going to school and learning.
* Angela, from ''[[Mona the Vampire]]''.
* Suzi from ''Pixel Pinkie''.
* ''[[My Little Pony]] Tales'' had Melody, who only occasionally drifted into [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]] territory and was hands-down the most self-absorbed of the heroines.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''
** Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, a pair of [[Spoiled Brat|Spoiled Brats]]s who tease [[Plucky Girl|Apple Bloom]] about [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|not developing a cutie mark yet]]. Later episodes have hinted that Diamond Tiara is the real alpha of the two, with Silver Spoon nicer but quick to knuckle under when Diamond does anything.
** On the other hand, the show subverts this trope with Rarity, who displays several trademarks of the Alpha Bitch (her love of fashion and fixation on the richest boy around), but also displays generosity and genuine niceness.
** In the first two episodes of the second season, the corrupted (by Discord) Rarity and ''Fluttershy'' act like this.
** The Great and Powerful Trixie also qualifies. While she isn't a schoolyard type bully, she's still catty, rude, manipulative and obnoxious, with the added bonus of being totally full of her self and a complete and utter ''liar''.
** Gilda.
{{quote| "This is your idea of a good time? I've never met a lamer bunch of dweebs in all my life!"}}
* Raquelle from ''[[Barbie]]: A Fairy Secret'', although once the plot gets into motion, it's mostly pushed by the wayside.
* Sencarity from ''What About Mimi?''.
Line 449 ⟶ 451:
* Victoria Best from ''[[Word Girl]]''.
* Gretel from ''[[Staines Down Drains]]''.
