Similar to the ClassRepresentative in her concern for anything school related and like the QueenBee in how ambitious she is. This character is aggressive in his academic superiority. She will act like she's in charge and decide who gets to do what. She's no shy {{Bookworm}}. This can be a male character but for some reason, probably HigherEducationIsForWomen, you can expect a female in the role.

* ''StaticShock'' had one in Madelyne Spaulding, a stuck-up "Little Miss Perfect" type who tried running for class president but failed to gain enough supporters to get on the baled. Her latent abilities as a Bang Baby then manifested, which allowed her to control people like puppets, or "brain puppets", and be able to read minds. She couldn't control Static's mind because of his electrical abilities, but she was able to enter his mind and learn his secret identity. Madelyne then used her powers to try and take over Dakota so she would definitely become student council president.

They'll be found in a show that has a private school or a large cast as the one who will fight to be the best but is somehow still popular. The natural StudentCouncilPresident but not necessarily the only one. Unlike the QueenBee she is rarely glamorous and much more likely to be a friend sooner or later like the LovableAlphaBitch.
