History PlayingWith / PsychoLesbian

** Alice is a lesbian, but she's actually a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] or MagnificentBitch of the highest calibre. She's just invoking ObfuscatingInsanity to ensure that nobody picks up on her true goals.

** When Stephanie turns her down because [[IncompatibleOrientation she's straight]], Alice gracefully accepts it.

* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice is completely out-of-control and will do [[MurderTheHypotenuse anything]] to get her hands on the women she desires.
** Every single lesbian character in the universe is confined to a mental institution.

** Alice's girlfriend was assaulted, [[BuryYourGays resulting in her death]], and Alice is now on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, which has been going on for so long that's it's [[HeWhoFightsMonsters had a considerable detrimental effect on her sanity]].
** Alice has been experiencing a series of relationship breakdown.

** Lesbian women represent a large group (even if only 1% of women in the world were lesbians, it would still mean 35 million lesbians). Women suffering from dangerous psychosis are also a large group (if 1% of women were dangerously psychotic, it would account for 35 millions of them). Statistically, some degree of overlap between two sufficiently large groups which are not mutually exclusive is virtually guaranteed (assuming they are independent variables, that still leaves an expected number of lesbians who are crazy at 35,000). So statistics dictate there would be at least a few psychotic lesbians running around.

** Alice is a lesbian and about the [[GoodBadGirl nicest girl you could ever hope to meet.]]

** As an example of ValuesDissonance, at the time the work was written, homosexuality was (incorrectly) seen as a mental illness and associated with other forms of such, or as a sign of moral deviancy. Censorship rules moreover prevented them from being shown in a positive light.

** Alice is a lesbian who suffers from schizophrenia, but she sees a psychiatrist and takes her medication properly, allowing her to live a normal life.

* '''Played For Laughs''':
** A RomanticComedy series which casts are all {{Psycho Lesbian}}s.
** Alice is AxCrazy, a Lesbian... and very aware of the UnfortunateImplications of such. At least once, Stephanie manages to escape her by pointing this out and sending her [[CharacterFilibuster into a full-on rant about how "Being gay doesn't make me crazy; being crazy makes me crazy!"]]

** Alice is a BloodKnight, HeroicComedicSociopath and/or TokenEvilTeammate.

** Alice Facebook-stalks Stephanie and keeps a {{hair|Decorations}}pin that she saw fall out of Stephanie's hair. But really, she's mostly harmless, if a bit annoying.

** The lesbian villain Alice [[LargeHam enters loudly the scene]], wearing a tampon costume and singing her VillainSong about munching carpets.

* '''Exploited''': Emperor Evulz hires an entire battalion of lesbians, promising that the most bloodthirsty and most psychotic one will be able to molest his dauther.

* '''Deconstructed''': Her insanity leads her to IfICantHaveYou and she just won't accept any woman she has set her views on to say no to her.

%%* '''Implied''': ???

* '''Defied''': "I'm not insane. I just happen not to want to suck your penis or anybody else's for that matter. Your genitals are not a recognized measure of female sanity, are they?"

* '''Reconstructed''': Alice eventually calms down and realized that she won't get ''anyone'' to like her through her behaviour and resolves to remain a lesbian but to be more reasonable about it. It's an ongoing process.
