Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/WintermoorTacticsClub'': Septavia, to such a degree that she openly unnerves Alicia, who won't go near her from sheer intimidation. Notably, Septavia never says a harsh word to Alicia in the game; Alicia's just a socially-nervous sort and Septavia is simply that imposing. [[spoiler:Septavia is, in fact, quite kind to Alicia when the Tactics Club leader finally manages to work up the nerve to talk; it's apparent that Alicia holds Septavia up on a high pedestal, and Septavia is very gentle with her, encouraging her to find a third option to defeat the demon.]]
** Alicia doesn't quite fit this trope, even though she is clearly the leader of the Tactics Club and their strongest advocate, mostly because she's way nicer than the general trope implies. [[spoiler:Colin resents this about her, since he's technically the leader of the Club, and it plays a part in his temporary breakdown.]]
