History Main / LovableAlphaBitch

[[folder: Web Serial Novel]]

* Guillotine from ''ComicBook/MiniMonsters'' is a good example. She's a goth girl who bullies the Frank's gang alongside (or not) his "boyfriend" Morty (The leader of the gang and real AlphaBitch, although is male). In spite of that, she's best friends with Piruja (one of the Frank's gang) and helps her to conquer Victor (The spoiled protagonist), although she absolutely doesn't get along with him and his friends.

* ''Literature/InCryptid'': Annie muses that her old friend Sophie Vargas-Jackson got elected cheer captain during her sophomore year by promoting a policy of letting girls besides "skinny blondes" onto the squad and "not being a jerk without good reason." She would go from snapping at Annie for arriving late to practice to expressing concern over signs that made her think Annie had an abusive boyfriend. This carries over to Sophie's present adult career, where she wears a pantsuit the same color as the paint in her office building (making it look like a uniform), and is demanding but considerate toward new employees.

* [[Characters/AmphibiaSashaWaybright Sasha Waybright]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' deconstructs it. Sasha is genuinely protective of and affectionate towards Anne and Marcy, but these redeeming qualities only go so far when paired with her sheer selfishness, ControlFreak tendencies, and sometimes outright cruelty. It's absolutely clear that she does care for the others, but she's also a [[ToxicFriendInfluence pretty]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder terrible]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese friend]] because she simply refuses to admit she's wrong or change her bad behavior. Despite this, Anne and Marcy still love her and want to remain friends with her, [[spoiler:although Anne seems to finally reach the end of her patience at the end of Season Two. Then comes Season Three, where [[HeelRealization Sasha finally realizes the consequences of her actions]] and decides to change for real.]]

* Seika "Mariana" Akishima from ''Manga/{{Amakusa 1637}}'' is flighty, spoiled, and once the group is TrappedInThePast [[{{Tsundere}} she]] [[NoHeroToHisValet isn't super kind to]] her foreign DoggedNiceGuy Jan. However, she has a good heart and is quite loyal to her friends, and takes their "MissionFromGod" quite seriously.

* Mikaela Banes, the attractive and open-minded girlfriend of a JerkJock, from ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' looks like she's developing into this before the plot kicks into high gear and her [[FallenPrincess troubled history]] comes out.

* Yano from ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'' is not someone you want to get on the bad side of, but you have to [[{{Jerkass}} really deserve it]] to get there. Otherwise, she's actually very friendly, even for this trope. Kurumi becomes this throughout the series as well, with the similarity to Yano being [[LesYay very well noted by her.]]

%%* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' has Rosalie Hale for the vampires and Leah Clearwater for the werewolves.

* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': While Sofia has a very minor impact in the story, she seems a bit haughty and mischevous, quite shallow and [[ApatheticStudent uninterested in school]] [[BookDumb and grades]] (even if it was simply implied by a very [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] Luca) and [[FilleFatale shamelessly flirted]] with Alberto. Otherwise, she seems to be quite nice and friendly.

** ''Fanfic/UnNouveauContesDeFees'': Marinette instantly recognizes that Swanhilde Von Lebedev is the “alpha girl” of Olympe and a possible mean character. She is even described as being nice to those she likes and mean to those who cross her. However, Swanhilde is a dedicated ballerina, who does not take her talent or success for granted. Unlike Chloe or Lila, who make Marinette their enemy, Swanhilde respects and admires Marinette’s ambition and talent, accepting her as a fellow “diva”, which is what they call the popular girls at school.

* Contrary to all expectations, the "one-dimensional bleach-blonde valley girl stereotype" Pacifica Northwest ends up becoming this in the second season of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', with both Mabel and Dipper bringing out her better side on separate occasions, especially with the revelation of her [[spoiler:rather [[AbusiveParents disturbing]] FreudianExcuse]].

** Cady Haron is actually a ''much'' straighter example than Regina because even though the former became the new Queen Bee, she shows signs that she still kept her inner goodness, as best evidenced by a couple of tears during the house party scene.

* Regina George in ''Film/MeanGirls'' is a subversion. She's a VillainWithGoodPublicity who knows how and when to be nice to people, such that Cady initially wonders if she's really as bad as Janis and Damian say she is. That question is answered with a definitive "yes" the moment we see what she's like behind closed doors, to the point where we learn that even her BetaBitch Gretchen can't stand her. [[spoiler:By the end of the film, it's implied that she's learned her lesson and become a straight example of this trope, channeling her rage into field hockey.]]

* Regina George in ''Film/MeanGirls'' is a subversion. She's a VillainWithGoodPublicity who knows how and when to be nice to people, such that Cady initially wonders if she's really as bad as [[CoolLoser Janis and Damian]] say she is. That question is answered with a definitive "yes" the moment we see what she's like behind closed doors, to the point where we learn that even her BetaBitch Gretchen can't stand her. [[spoiler:By the end of the film, it's implied that she's learned her lesson and become a straight example of this trope, channeling her rage into field hockey.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Cindy Vortex is the AcademicAlphaBitch variant -- she often picks on Jimmy out of jealously and looks down on other students, but she does genuinely help Jimmy and his friends every now and then.

* ''Fanfic/TheStoryOfApolloDaphneAndLucaAnItalianTragedy'': While Sofia has a very minor impact in the story, she seems a bit haughty and mischevous, quite shallow and [[ApatethicStudent uninterested in school]] [[BookDumb and grades]] (even if it was simply implied by a very [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] Luca) and [[FilleFatale shamelessly flirted]] with Alberto. Otherwise, she seems to be quite nice and friendly.

Otherwise, she seems to be quite nice and friendly.

** Emma in ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'', the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Until Dawn'', also fits the bill. She’s a popular influencer who enjoys being the centre of attention. This is shown when she makes out with her best friend's crush during a game of truth-or-dare, right in front of her best friend and Emma’s (recent) ex-boyfriend Jacob, causing both of them to storm off. However, she can admit remorse for the act and genuinely wants what’s best for Jacob. She’s also playful, upbeat and has the potential to help Kaitlyn defeat one of the [[spoiler: werewolves]] during the finale sequence by passing her a silver bullet.

* ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'': Three examples. Paige (S1-S5), Holly J (S7-S11), and Zoe (D:TNG S13 - NC S4) all start out as the standard {{Alpha Bitch}}es, but all undergo CharacterDevelopment. Paige comes to the point where she's ready to stop worrying about what other people think and have a same-sex relationship with Alex in her senior year. Holly J also grows into this trope by the time she's a senior. Zoe also mellows out after coming out as a lesbian in season two of ''Next Class''.

* Rhonda Wellington Lloyd from ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''. Despite engaging in typical {{Alpha Bitch}} activities, she can be remarkably friendly. Her best friend is a down-to-Earth bug collector, she has a great capacity for sympathy to those less fortunate, plays sports with her significantly less wealthy classmates all the time, and doesn't hold a grudge against the guy who stalked and blackmailed her into dating him for a week.

* The ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' series has Rosalie Hale for the vampires and Leah Clearwater for the werewolves.

So, there's this [[AlphaBitch girl]]. She's [[TheBeautifulElite beautiful]], [[PopularityFoodChain popular]], [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]], [[InWithTheInCrowd exclusive]], and...[[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not so bad once you get to know her]]. She still hangs out with the [[GirlPosse popular crowd]], regularly attends {{Wild Teen Part|y}}ies, and has been known to be vicious and petty to the unfortunates at the bottom of the PopularityFoodChain with some rare occasions of PetTheDog in between. She may even act this way toward the heroine at first. But a few bonding activities and a little CharacterDevelopment later, she's the one who has the heroine's back, with whom she often forms a TomboyAndGirlyGirl or LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine pair. In cases where she's also the AcademicAlphaBitch, it might be her meanness comes off from feeling like she is the DrillSergeantNasty for the rest of the school, and warms up to people who impress her.

* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' with Chloe Bourgeois, who [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor goes backwards and forwards between]] a {{spoiled brat}} and a hero. Although it's ultimately subverted in "Heart Hunter", as she pulls a FaceHeelTurn and sides with the BigBad Hawk Moth.

* Sasha Waybright from ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'' deconstructs it. Sasha is genuinely protective of and affectionate towards Anne and Marcy, but these redeeming qualities only go so far when paired with her sheer selfishness, ControlFreak tendencies, and sometimes outright cruelty. It's absolutely clear that she does care for the others, but she's also a [[ToxicFriendInfluence pretty]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder terrible]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese friend]] because she simply refuses to admit she's wrong or change her bad behavior. Despite this, Anne and Marcy still love her and want to remain friends with her, [[spoiler:although Anne seems to finally reach the end of her patience at the end of Season Two. Then comes Season Three, where [[HeelRealization Sasha finally realizes the consequences of her actions]] and decides to change for real.]]

** Rarity is somewhat vain and materialistic and occasionally looks her nose down on her more slovenly friends such as Applejack. However, she is no less helpful than the other ponies and embodies the Element of Generosity (her EstablishingCharacterMoment being when she sacrifices some of her beloved tail [[ItMakesSenseInContext to act as a mustache for a heartbroken sea serpent]]).

* AcademicAlphaBitch Amity Blight in ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is revealed to be one in "Lost in Language", being capable of self-reflection and remorse, and even outright kindness and heroism. In "Understanding Willow", it's revealed that [[spoiler:Amity only qualified for this trope because she was forced by her [[AbusiveParents parents]] into [[ToxicFriendInfluence being "friends" with]] genuine AlphaBitch Boscha.]] Once this comes to light, Amity no longer serves as this trope.

* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'': To say Faith has an ego would be an understatement, even if it's {{justified}}, due to being the most popular girl at Artemis, [[SuperPowerLottery the most powerful esper in its history]], the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil student council]] [[StudentCouncilPresident president]], and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer is considered the hottest girl on campus]]. So, yeah...[[SmugSuper she's pretty smug]]. But it's repeatedly shown that she takes her responsibilities seriously (despite bending rules when it suits her), [[AFatherToHisMen cares for the safety of her fellow students]], and has twice [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/sharper_than_a_sanjiegun put herself at risk]] [[http://www.magickchicks.com/strips-mc/save_artemis in order to protect them.]] All of which has earned her [[CoolBigSis the admiration]] of the student body.
