== Anime & Manga ==

* Motoko Minagawa of ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' leads a small group of girls who routinely make life a little more difficult for the main character

* In ''[[Naruto]]'' Sakura is picked on by Ami and two other girls during her ninja academy days, until Ino defends her.

 

 

== Film -- Animated ==

* Minku gets bullied by a [[Gang of Bullies]] at school in ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]''.

* Sykes, Ernie and Bernie from ''[[Shark Tale]]''

* The bully in ''[[Three Ninjas]]'' was followed around by lackeys.

* ''[[Mean Girls]]'': Though the titular clique is lead by [[Alpha Bitch]] Regina, as the movie shows, she would not be able to terrorize the student population without her faithful "army of skanks".

 

 

** James, Remus, Sirius, and Wormtail, in regards to Snape. Though Wormtail, being the [[Dirty Coward]] that he is, he only does so just so that he won't have his ass kicked, as well.

* ''[[Let the Right One In]]'' features a group of bullies who pick on the main character.

** Also the immaturity of his ''brain'', which he only ever engaged long enough to remember how to pronounce "scag". I think he was meant to be a parody of people who get into prestigious colleges solely on the merit of being legacy.

* Kalarus Brencis Minoris from the ''[[Codex Alera]]'' bears a striking resemblance to Draco Malfoy: a rich [[Smug Snake]] from a [[Blue Blood|prestigious family]] who wanders the local [[Extranormal Institute]] with his pair of big, dumb thugs, looking for [[Badass Normal|easy victims]].

** It's not clear which of them is the alpha bully, though. Jimbo was the leader at first (according to the season one episode, "The Telltale Head" when Bart first met them outside the Aztec Theater), but over time their chain of command has shifted between Jimbo (because he was introduced first) and Kearney (because he's older than Dolph and Jimbo) before the chain of command became more or less egalitarian.

*** Unless Nelson's being depicted as part of the gang (rather than just co-operation through respect between bullies), in which case he is almost always depicted as the leader. Albeit one with only a tenuous hold on power, as demonstrated in ''Lisa's Date with Density''.

* The Rowdyruff Boys from ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' are essentially this.

* Potisa, Gwen and Penny from ''[[The Mighty B]]''. They also count as a sadist version of this.
