* ''[[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.]]}})

* 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]].

* Eliza Reagan from ''[[Candy Candy]]'' is a good 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]]. Unlike Aki, her comeuppance might be [[Karma Houdini|nonexistent]] unless you see some subtle message about one of Candy's surviving friends is higher rank in class and would more than likely to screw her up... which never happens on-screen.

She usually is a [[Karma Houdini]], but sometimes she gets [[Humiliation Conga|truly spectacular comeuppances]].
* 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]].

* ''[[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.}}

* ''[[Naruto]]'': when 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.

* 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, Yoshimi 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}}.

* [[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}}?
