Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

Occasionally the character has been pretending to be [[The Ditz]], but is smarter than anyone suspects. Occasionally, the heroine manipulates a loyal member of the Girl Posse into taking this action.

Sister trope to [[The Dog Bites Back]] (with which it can overlap if the [[Alpha Bitch]] is dumb enough to abuse her own [[Girl Posse]]) and [[Big Damn Villains]]. Also sometimes overlaps with [[The Starscream]], though it is much more frequent that Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch comes out of nowhere and the Starscream is usually obvious from scene one. (And if the [[Alpha Bitch]] in question is really a [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]], that makes this character an [[Evil Chancellor]].) Contrast [[Professional Butt Kisser]].
