History AlphaBitch / Literature

** Ironically, there are rumors that Emma Watson (who played ''Hermione'') was quite an Alpha Bitch to the extras on the set of the movies.

* Natasha VanDyne from ''Literature/{{Hometown}}''. Blond and pretty? Check. GirlPosse? Check. Harasses people lower on the social totem pole, including pranks that cause actual physical harm (though that case might have been an accident)? Check. [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Gets away with it all]] because she's a RichBitch by small-town standards? Big ol' check. On the other hand, she spends most of her onscreen time focusd on what seems to be a personal vendetta with one of the protagonists that almost counts as picking on someone her own size. When we meet [[AbusiveParent her mother]], we get a pretty good idea [[FreudianExcuse why she is the way she is]], and when we see what happens to her [[PetTheDog beloved pets]], you [[JerkassWoobie almost feel sorry for her]].

* Cokie Mason from ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'' is a middle school version.

** Played straight with Taylor, a [[TheQuisling voluntary]] Human-Controller. She used to be the most beautiful and popular girl at her school, until a fire left her crippled and hideous. Desperate to regain the life she had, Taylor agrees to voluntary infestation in exchange for the Yeerks using their advanced technology to make her a HollywoodCyborg and restore her beauty. Though it's not her assignment at all, the Yeerk who infests her falls in love with Taylor's life and willingly plays it out after the infestation.

* Ethel Hallow from ''TheWorstWitch''.

** Romilda Vane, Harry's StalkerWithACrush from the sixth book, also had some Alpha Bitch tendencies, possessing her own GirlPosse and telling Harry that he didn't have to hang out with kids as "uncool" as Neville and Luna.

* Christine Hargensen, Carrie's nemesis in Creator/StephenKing's book and film ''{{Carrie}}''. She and her GirlPosse are banned from the senior prom because of a ''very'' nasty incident in the girl's locker room involving them terrorizing Carrie, who was having her first period at the time and was under the impression that she was bleeding to death, by throwing tampons and other feminine hygiene items at her and chanting "Plug it up! Plug it up!" Chris then pulls a cruel prank on Carrie by dumping pig's blood on her head when she is voted as Prom Queen (this scene is considered a classic in movie history, very memorable) which leads Carrie to freak out. Christine becomes one of many victims in the ensuing RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
** Averted by Sue Snell, who gets her boyfriend to take Carrie to the prom not to set her up for humiliation, but to genuinely atone for what she did.

* The ''Literature/GemmaDoyle'' trilogy: at first, it seems like this will be Felicity's designated role, but she and Gemma wind up bestest buddies. The role is instead taken by Cecily Temple, who is jealous that the aforementioned event happened.

* From ''His Majesty's Dragon'': Miss Montagu, who snubbed Will Laurence at his parents' house when he stopped by on the way to the training grounds, was only a mild Alpha Bitch... until at the end of the book, when she "revealed" (Laurence had already heard), during the celebrations, that Laurence's childhood sweetheart had gotten married.

* Holly and Heather Mayflower of the ''DRAMA!'' series by Paul Ruditis.

* Subverted in ''13 Reasons Why'', by Jay Asher. Hannah says that Courtney Crimsen could have been this, but instead spends her time making it seem like she is a genuinely nice person.

* Emily Asher in ''Beautiful Creatures''.

* In Joe Hill's novel ''{{Horns}}'', the protaganist Ig Perrish realises, after having his life blighted by accusations of being responsible for the rape and murder of his girlfriend, that the manipulative and devious Alpha Brat from High School, Lee Tourneau, is the guilty man. Not only did Tourneau commit the rape-murder, he is seeking to frame Ig for it. Of course, nobody suspects the popular alpha guy from High School....

** Draco Malfoy is possibly a male Alpha Bitch, different from the JerkJock. He's blond, rich, snobbish, presumed evil, bought his way onto the Slytherin Quidditch team, and comes complete with two other boys flanking his sides at all times -- though Crabbe and Goyle aren't the stereotypically slightly less pretty posse members. Plus, he dates Pansy, as mentioned above.

* Lana is a more cliched version of this in the books ''ThePrincessDiaries'', as well as being a DevilInPlainSight. Mia often retaliates. Later in the series, though, Lana extends the olive branch to Mia, and her friend Trisha enters Mia's group of friends. She becomes much more a LovableAlphaBitch after this as she still retains a couple {{Jerkass}} tendencies.

* Amy's rivals, April Snow and May Chester, of ''Literature/LittleWomen'', making it OlderThanRadio.

* In ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' Rachel is seen as this by people who don't know her. [[BloodKnight The truth]] is rather scarier.

* Mona Southton from ''Literature/TheTruthOfRockAndRoll''. It doesn't work out well for her.

* Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes from ''Literature/TheVampireDiaries''. However, Elena was only this during the beginning of the series. As the series progresses she becomes a [[CharacterDevelopment significantly better person]] mostly after meeting Stefan. Elena becomes more of a LovableAlphaBitch. Caroline, on the other hand, never really changes from this.

** Foxheart from ''Yellowfang's Secret'' is very much this. One example is that when Yellowfang recently becomes the medicine cat apprentice, the first thing she had to do was fix Foxheart's bedding...the latter being too lazy (and mean) to do it herself.
** Lizardstripe too...plus the fact that she's an [[AbusiveParents abusive mom]]. And there's the more major fact that she [[ClingyJealousGirl always snaps at her for talking to Raggedstar]] and looks down on her for being a medicine cat.

** Lizardstripe too...plus the fact that she's an [[AbusiveParents abusive mom]].

* The ''GemmaDoyle'' trilogy: at first, it seems like this will be Felicity's designated role, but she and Gemma wind up bestest buddies. The role is instead taken by Cecily Temple, who is jealous that the aforementioned event happened.

* Jeanine Bryant in ''{{Replica}}'' is replaced later by Simone Cussack.

* Emily Asher in ''Beautiful Creatures''.

* Constanza Grayfoot from ''{{Midnighters}}'' is the fashion-obsessed queen of the school who struts about with her girl posse and dreams of being an actress in L.A. She's part Native American, not blonde, and is more harmlessly superficial than actually evil, but instead of reading like an interesting variation on the trope, she reads like a watered-down copy of [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Cordelia Chase.]] She is, however, different from most Alpha Bitches in that she is genuinely nice to and supportive of Jess, including slapping a boy who tried to sexually assault her and giving her advice about her relationship with Jonathan.

* In the ''HollowKingdomTrilogy'', Til is the Alpha Bitch among the pages. She has an exclusive clique until Richard comes and proves to be more interesting than her. She maintains these Alpha Bitch qualities when she grows up as a snobby woman who bullies others, including her daughter, and relies on her social status.

* Cheyenne Martin from ''{{Private}}''.

* Hattie from ''EllaEnchanted''. She not only messes around with Ella's life, but orders her to hand over the necklace that her ''mother'' used to wear simply because she fancied it, and she also steals Ella's breakfast after claiming that it's "too rich for her". In the movie, she's even worse, as she and Olive actually get Ella ''arrested'' after inadvertently discovering her "gift", have her blame her friend for it, and tell her to never speak to her again and, just to add a bit of FantasticRacism to the mix, tell her to say that she could never be friends with an Ayorthian.

** Lizardstripe too...plus the fact that she's an [[AbusiveParents abusive mom]].

* Sandstorm from ''WarriorCats'' used to be one...until she TookALevelInKindness and fell in love with Firestar, the hero.
** Foxheart from ''Yellowfang's Secrets'' is very much this. One example is that when Yellowfang recently becomes the medicine cat apprentice, the first thing she had to do was fix Forheart's bedding...the latter being too lazy (and mean) to do it herself.

* Bianca in ''TheGeeksShallInheritTheEarth''. Even though Whitney is introduced as "The Popular Bitch", Bianca [[spoiler:tries to convince Whitney to attend a party while suffering from bronchitis. When Whitney doesn't attend, Bianca gives away Whitney's position in the party car]].

* Lara from Cherie Bennett's ''[[http://www.amazon.com/Life-Lane-Books-Young-Readers/dp/0440220297/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1211580386&sr=8-1 Life in the Fat Lane]]'' is a weird example: she starts out much like Cher from ''{{Clueless}}'' — the [[SpoiledSweet rich, shallow and naïve, but sweet]] (and ''[[InformedAbility supposedly]]'' intelligent) [[LovableAlphaBitch homecoming queen]]. Then she (suddenly) gets fat and becomes a social outcast (her immediate descent into [[{{wangst}} self-loathing]] upon gaining the first ''ten pounds'' had ''[[SarcasmMode nothing]]'' to do with it...). Enter at least ''two'' examples played straight...but wait—''here's'' a girl who's at very least InWithTheInCrowd, but is [[SubvertedTrope sweet to everyone]], even [[AcceptableHardLuckTargets fat people]]... but wait—[[DoubleSubversion she's actually obnoxious and condescending and just trying to play the role of ideal homecoming queen]].
