* At ''[[Degrassi]]'', both Paige (S1-S5) and Holly J (S7-S11) start out as the standard [[Alpha Bitch|AlphaBitches]], but due to [[Character Development]] Paige comes to the point where she's ready to stop worrying about what other people think and have a lesbian relationship with Alex in her senior year. Holly J also grows into this trope by the time she's a senior.

* Caroline from ''[[The Vampire Diaries]]''. Blonde, popular, pretty, ditzy (not helped by having been repeatedly mind controlled), but nice enough.

* [[Your Mileage May Vary|Arguably,]] Mini from [[Skins]]. She started out pure [[Alpha Bitch]], but has grown gradually [[Defrosting Ice Queen|nicer]] over the course of Season 5 since [[The Power of Friendship|becoming friends with the other kids]], although the Mini/Franky/Matty love triangle can bring out [[Green-Eyed Monster|her bitchier side.]]

** Another example might be Michelle from the first generation. Yes, she was kind of shallow and whiney, but she was never shown as being deliberately mean to anyone who had never hurt her, and was actually very nice to [[Loners Are Freaks|Sketch]] before they all figured out how creepy Sketch was. Katie might qualify, too.

** Santana Lopez may also qualify, as she started out as [[The Dragon]] to Quinn's [[Alpha Bitch]] only to inherit the top title when Quinn became the [[Fallen Princess]]. She's now nursing a healthy dose of [[Gayngst]]. Also, she's been getting more and more sweet moments, with Brittany in particular and arguably the club in general. All while keeping her [[Spicy Latina|spiciness]].

* Cordelia Chase from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' starts as a regular [[Alpha Bitch]], but becomes this through [[Character Development]] and [[Hidden Depths]]. Eventually she also becomes a [[Fallen Princess]] and by the time she becomes a regular on the [[Spin-Off]] ''[[Angel]]'', has pretty much lost almost all the Alpha Bitchy qualities she had to begin with.

* Tawni of ''[[Sonny With a Chance]]'' was solidified as this by the first season finale, where she prevents Sonny and Chad's [[Ten Minutes in the Closet]] moment from being broadcast live by [[Jerkass|Gilroy Smith.]]

* Lexi of ''[[ANT Farm]]'' started the show a straight-up [[Alpha Bitch]], but has slowly been shaping up as this, getting some moments of potential friendship with Chyna and even some [[Ship Tease]] with Chyna's brother, Cameron.

* Maria Joaquina from ''[[Carrusel]]''. She had two [[Kick the Dog]] moments at the beginning, when she ripped the card that Cirilo gave her for her birthday and then when she ratted Marcelina for cheating on a test. The ''second'' one, however, bit her in the butt badly as her classmates (''[[Dogged Nice Guy|Cirilo]]'' included) isolated her; Maria Joaquina ended up [[Heroic BSOD|breaking down]] [[Cry Cute|in tears]] due to this, and after that she became the Lovable Alpha Bitch we know and love.

* Miu Kazashiro in ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'' becomes one early in the show's run, after suffering a [[Break the Haughty]] moment when a video is played in front of the whole school of her [[Is This Thing Still On?|badmouthing her admirers]]. After being injured by the [[Monster of the Week]], she rallies and regains her popularity, but also joins forces with the hero.

* Examples of this abound on [[America's Next Top Model]]. Bianca from Cycle 9 was a monster, picking on poor autistic Heather and [[Stripper With A Heart Of Gold]] Lisa. But you can't hate her too much when her disses are as poetic as "check your thighs in the mirror, and I'm done" and her claim that she's a "fun bitch" not a "bitchy bitch". It's more fun to judge [[America's Next Top Model]] contestants by their capacity for [[Memetic Mutation]] as opposed to their actual modelling ability.
