Line 97:
* Parodied with Muriel Kane in ''[[Literature/The Beautiful And Damned|The Beautiful And Damned]]''. She wants to be seen as a vamp (and happens to look like Theda Bara, mentioned above), but tries far too hard.
* Roberta "Bobbie" Wickham from the ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' series is a light comedic variant. A troublemaker with [[Evil Redhead]] tendencies, she makes a habit of luring Bertie into trouble and then working against him to benefit herself. Of course, Bertie is an [[Extreme Doormat]] who can get talked into anything, but in Bobbie's case, the fact that she's gorgeous and flirtatious doesn't hurt her cause.

* Matilda fills this role in ''[[The Monk]]'', particularly if you read her character as deliberately leading Ambrosio astray rather than merely being tempting.
 
Line 126:
* Disturbed's ''Serpentine''.
