** Sansa Stark starts out as one among the girls of Winterfell, as the highest-ranking and most beautiful girl in the castle and favoured by their teacher Septa Mordane. She and her BetaBitch, the lower-born Jeyne Poole, bully Sansa's little sister Arya for being unladylike. Sansa's behavior only gets worse after she's betrothed to the Crown Prince and expects to become Queen, and at one point outright tells Arya that she wishes she died and she's so ugly she'll have to marry the disabled stableboy. Sansa does sometimes try to cover for Arya against Mordane and they have fond childhood memories, but the bullying was bad enough that a now runaway and starving Arya is still upset by it years later, and Theon Greyjoy - who was several years older than the girls - recalled Sansa and Jeyne's behaviour.
--->'''Arya's thoughts:''' To her sister and sister’s friends and all the rest, she had just been Arya Horseface.

* ''Literature/{{Slacker}}'': Jennifer Del Rio is the uncompromising and self-centered head cheerleader, and Homecoming Queen, and runs the high school's good deeds club. The last of these ''would'' make her a LovableAlphaBitch, except she's doing it to look good on her Harvard application and will sabotage other do-gooders who are stealing charity work opportunities from her. She does get some PetTheDog moments at the end of the book, but Cam is relieved to see her leave for college and get out of his life.

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* Ethel Hallow from ''Literature/TheWorstWitch''. In a slight twist, Ethel demonstrates many CoolLoser qualities such as always being top of the class and excelling at everything. In any other story she'd likely be the CoolLoser. But she's hated because she ''knows'' she's the best at everything and rubs it in their faces, as well as frequently ratting the other girls out to the teachers. The TV series gives her a rich father and stresses that she has only one friend (who even pulls off a HeelFaceTurn towards the end).

* In ''Literature/DontLookBack'', the amnesiac protagonist Sam finds out that she turned into this after her (now deceased) friend, Cassie Winchester, first moved into town. Their toxic friendship influenced Sam into becoming the quintessential mean, bullying popular girl, complete with a GirlPossse, and she cut ties with her old friends because of it. She's embarrassed and ashamed when she finds this out, and spends the rest of the book trying to make amends for her past behavior in addition to recovering her memories.

* ''Literature/BadGirls'': Kim is a primary school version of this, however, she fits this trope like a glove. She's popular, confident and VERY spiteful, particularly towards the main character Mandy.

* ''Aria of the Sea'' has Elliana Nautilus, a noble acknowledged as the best in her class (but the oldest, meaning she [[BrilliantButLazy doesn't put in enough effort]] to advance to her proper class) at the School of Royal Dancers. She skates by on her beauty, status and minimal effort, especially since her red hair grants her a resemblance to the Sea Maid, the kingdom's goddess, and she treats the commoner student Cerinthe Gale with contempt. Her bullying and spiteful tricks only worsen when Cerinthe outshines her in class, and although she does [[HiddenDepths love dancing]] enough to [[TeethClenchedTeamwork ask Cerinthe for help]] with coming up with her own choreography for an assignment (as Elliana doesn't know how to create her own dances), when Cerinthe is cast in a major ballet role Elliana assumed would be hers, she retaliates by presenting Cerinthe's choreography (a tribute to the Sea Maid) as her own.

* Kelly Peters in Zilpha Keatley Snyder's ''The Changeling''. A spun-sugar nightmare with a cute face and golden curls. It makes more sense to walk into an operating buzz saw than to have anything to do with her. Most of these types are KarmaHoudini, but Kelly actually gets taken down a notch or two (not much) toward the end of the book.

* Cheyenne Martin from ''Literature/{{Private}}''.
* The titular character from Creator/LaurenKate's ''The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove''.
* Also from Creator/LaurenKate, Chloe King in ''Unforgiven''. Her father is a rich media mogul, she is good-looking, well-dressed, surrounded by GirlPosse composed of members of her pop group, she leads several school clubs and is a candidate for prom queen. And in a moment of sincerity, she claims that people generally do not like her - they are just afraid of her. One interesting twist - she's black (although the author generally does not stress the fact).
