Line 307:
* 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 [

* 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 350:
* 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].
Line 356:
* 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]]''
