* Pele - the Hawaiian Goddess of Lava is known for her [[Incredibly Lame Pun|fiery temper]]. She fell in love often and most of those young men were not fortunate to escape with their lives. The incredible details of some of the stories is what really makes her special. In one story Pele throws Lava at her Lover, her own favorite little sister, the sister's House (forest, actually), and sister's Best Friend for good measure. Because she THOUGHT the Lover and Sister may like each other, when in reality they were both totally loyal to Pele. (Of course they bonded because of this trauma and proved Pele right. Irony Burnnn) [
** Also another unfortunate young man that Pele fell in love with was already in a totally happy relationship, and had no intention of cheating on his girl, even with a Goddess. Pele was not impressed by his moral fibre. [http://hulainaloha.blogspot.com/2009/04/pele-and-ohia-tree.html Story of Ohia and Lehua]
* Dido in ''[[The Aeneid (Literature)|The Aeneid]]''. When Aeneas leaves Carthage, Dido curses him and all of the surviving Trojans, then commits suicide. It bears mentioning that said curse involves ''damning their two future nations to constant savage bloodletting''.
* There is a Japanese folktale concerning a woman named Kiyohime who, when rejected by the object of her affections, turns into a dragon and kills him. [
* The huldra of Scandinavian folklore are a [[The Fair Folk|type of fairy]] who appear as beautiful women with cow or horse tails. Although they are often eager to marry, they are also very strict and demanding, and if you even think of turning one down, [[If I Can't Have You|she will kill you]].
* Ishtar (Inanna) of [[Mesopotamian Mythology]]. All of her lovers ended up dead, which is why [[The Epic of Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] turns her down when she asks him to marry her. Cue Ishtar [[Daddy's Girl|running to her daddy]], pitching a fit, and threatening to cause a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] if he doesn't give her the [[MacGuffin|Bull of Heaven]] instead (even though doing so will cause a drought.) She later has her husband Tammuz/Dumuzi [[Dragged Off to Hell]] for cheating on her while [[Inannas Descent to The Netherworld (Literature)|she was off trying to conquer the underworld.]]
