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}}
Line 55:
* 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.}}
Line 61:
** 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}}.
** 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.
Line 82:
* Under [[Geoff Johns]], ''Batman'' has become the male version of the Alpha Bitch in the ''[[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 -- and written by the same Geoff Johns -- 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.
* Some incarnations of Anthony "Tony" Stark/''[[Iron Man]]'' count as well.
Line 122:
** Subverted -- 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 153:
* 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 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]].
Line 174:
* 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 189:
* Not a school-related example, but Diamanda from ''[[Discworld/Lords and Ladies|Lords and Ladies]]'' and Annagramma from the Tiffany Aching books both 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:
== 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 248:
** 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 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 -- but later episodes reveal that, despite what the Geeks fear, she's still friendly towards them.
Line 261:
** 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 273:
* Banning Miller in the ''[[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]]'' 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.
Line 280:
* 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 Del Ocho]]'', is thought by some to be an older version of this trope.
Line 288:
* 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 [[ANT 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".
Line 303:
* [[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.
Line 310:
== Pro 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 [http://squashberry.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mickieJames.jpg Mickie James] and [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 [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 333:
* ''[[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''.
Line 357:
** Jenny Jr. shows many characteristics of an Alpha Bitch as well.
* ''[[Shadowgirls]]'' gave us Misty -- 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]]''
Line 389:
* 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]], they spend the majority of the series wanting to screw with everyone for the sake of being mean.
Line 404:
* 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 Parents]]'' 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 -- 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>.
Line 410:
* 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 433:
* ''[[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 alot 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''.
