5
6	* ''Webcomic/MyImpossibleSoulmate'':
7	** Kenta Maeda is a gender-inverted example. He's highly popular at school, being the star player of its baseball team and having high grades, but abusive towards his girlfriend, Fumiko.
8	** Played straight with Ai Nakano, a popular girl who bullies Chiaki for her interests.
9	* {{Subverted}} by Kamiri in ''Webcomic/BestFriendsForever''. She is a wealthy, attractive cheerleader, but she isn't mean or catty. In fact, she is friends with the ScholarshipStudent Vincent and nerdy Teddy.
10	* ''Webcomic/DreamingFreedom'': Juhyeon fits this to a T. She's beautiful, the most popular girl in the class, and she relentlessly bullies Jeongmin by spreading rumors and making nasty comments about her.
11	* Subverted by ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', where Diane is initially setup up as one. First, we see her as a "Mooching Tease Pimp" and Nanase keeps brushing off ''her'' attempts to get her into the GirlPosse. Then, Diane is quickly shown to be [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-02-01 surprisingly caring]] to her friends. It turns out that she's a she's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at worse, and is actually taken aback when she learns that everyone at school outside her small friend circle sees her as this trope, prompting her to change her behavior. The only reason she didn't do so earlier is that one of her friends assumed that being an Alpha Bitch to everyone else was an intentional and calculated move, like [[ObfuscatingStupidity other aspects of her personality]].
12	* Subverted by ''Webcomic/{{Footloose}}''; Sparkle is very intelligent and somewhat GenreSavvy. [[spoiler:She still gets her comeuppance though.]]
13	* Subversion: In ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'', Penny is a popular girl, and seems like a textbook example at first (in contrast to the independent-minded Aggie). As the story progresses, however, Penny turns out to be a decent, observant, intelligent person, with most of the conflicts between her and Aggie being initiated by the latter.
14	* On the other hand, Carrie of ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' is the epitome of this trope, or is at least trying to be. See [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/144 here]].
15	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' briefly features [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060929 Cindi]]. Subverted when she wanders rather badly out of her league in [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=061005 this strip]].
16	* Sayuri Morita in ''Webcomic/RedString''. However, her nastiness eventually comes back to bite her, and the main characters actually ''haven't'' gone and befriended her yet.
17	%%Comeuppance for what?* Kharisma in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive''. Oh ''Lawdy'' does she get her comeuppance. And then some.
18	* Felicia Laine in ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' fits most of the characteristics of an Alpha Bitch, despite being in elementary school. In a subversion of the trope, however, she's not stupid (as much as she acts the part), nor does she have any attraction to the strip's JerkJock Jeremy (indeed, they've never even met). Her infatuations are mostly directed at the members of boy band ''du jour''.
19	%%* Katie from ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl''.
20	* You'd think that with cheerleaders as protagonists, ''[[Webcomic/TheWotch Cheer!]]'' would be free of Libbies. [[http://cheer.thewotch.com/index.php?date=20051001 You'd be wrong]].
21	%%How are they examples?* Sarah and Cass from ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'', though Sarah and Fiona were [[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch childhood friends]].
22	* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''
23	** Emily's pre-misfile friend Molly. An [[http://www.misfile.com/?page=1188 arc back in 2009]] has Emily going to her for advice on how to deal with TheRival, Missi.
24	%%Such as?** Jenny Jr. shows many characteristics of an Alpha Bitch as well.
25	* Leona Gallant in ''Webcomic/RoninGalaxy'' is an example of this trope. She is apparently a spoiled daddy's girl, [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comic/page-110/ who supplies her with cool weapons and encourages to use them.]] She's determined to [[http://www.roningalaxy.com/comic/page-89/ hog the spotlight at all times.]]
26	* ''Webcomic/{{Shadowgirls}}'' gave us Misty -- an Alpha Bitch that crossed the MoralEventHorizon. Her mother possibly was one in the past, but it's not sure.
27	* In ''Webcomic/{{Blip}}'', Mary is a narcissistic, shallow, vain robot. On at least two occasions, she's been accused of using her Alpha Bitchiness to mask insecurity. Notwithstanding, she does seem to care about K and her friends. [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Maybe.]] At the start of the comic, she and K had a nasty falling out and refused to speak to each other for years. Mary makes the first reconciliatory gesture, and the two proceed to ''immediately'' bury the hatchet.
28	* Though a minor character, Julia Greenhilt is clearly the Alpha Bitch of her magic school in ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', complete with two tagalong friends with whom she gossips about other students' clothing choices.
29	* [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Vanessa]] has all the hallmarks of this in ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool'', complete with her own GirlPosse (Cinderella's stepsisters) and a habit of sneering down at others she perceives as inferior. Her main role in the storyline is trying to sabotage Ariel and Eric's relationship so that she can get him for herself.
30	* ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'': Melissa Hellrune provides the trope image. Though she and [[GirlPosse her Coven]] were pretty high on [[AllGhoulsSchool Charybdis Heights']] social ladder and were admired for their looks, she was stuck being second fiddle to [[AloofDarkhairedGirl Layla]], who was [[LovableAlphaBitch more popular]] than she was. Naturally, Mel wasn't going to stand for it and plotted to overthrow Layla, along with trying to steal her boyfriend.
31	* In ''[[Webcomic/{{Bobbinsverse}} Giant Days]]'', where Esther de Groot from ''WebComic/ScaryGoRound'' goes to university, she meets three former head girls, each of whom was probably the Alpha Bitch back at their respective schools. Although instead of (or perhaps "in addition to") cheerleading, each of them knows a specific style of [[DarkActionGirl martial arts]].
32	* ''Webcomic/KhaosKomix'' gives us Natalie Geln, who is probably even more cruel than your standard Alpha Bitch.
33	* ''Webcomic/{{Bridges}}'' features head cheerleader Lana, who is controlling of her squad to a borderline psychopathic level.
34	* ''Webcomic/LuluCthulhu'' features three of these who have undertaken the mission to make all the losers feel accepted at Valentines' by giving chocolate to losers. They genuinely don't seem to understand why being singled out as losers doesn't make people happy.
35	* ''Webcomic/PrincessPi'' has Sam, Alex, and Butch, also known as the Totally Nazis. The story "Princess Pi vs. The Alpha Bitch" even uses this trope's name in reference to Sam, although Pi [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant expresses confusion]] about the term's meaning.[[note]]She thought it referred to a canine ''Series/SesameStreet'' character who helped children learn about letters.[[/note]]
36	* ''Webcomic/ZodiacBlues'' gives us Lia, who calls even her boyfriend a 'loser'.
37	* ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' demonstrates this at least in the early chapters in the form of Chrys'tel Vel'Sharen and her [[FiveManBand Five-Man Band]]. [[spoiler:Though it should be said that she has turned traitor to her clan, and the rest of the 5 man band has either joined an enemy faction, died, rebelled, or is just plain abandoned]].
38	* ''Webcomic/{{Dreamkeepers}} Prelude'' gives us Stacephanie and her {{Girl Posse}} Triffany, Ashleybelle, and Leslieanna. They focus on belittling Lilith but will turn on each other if necessary.
39	* Lyzza in ''Webcomic/LuminaryChildren'' plays this trope straight. And don't you dare put her off her alpha status, or [[GroinAttack bad things happen]].
40	* ''WebComic/VampireCheerleaders'': Lorna Thurston is the captain of the Bakerstown High cheerleading squad and the "queen bee" of a Coven of vampires. As such, she's pretty much what you'd [[http://www.vampirecheerleaders.net/strips-vc/the_fate_of_leonard expect]], though her Coven thinks of her as being [[LovableAlphaBitch the lovable variety.]]
41	* ''WebComic/SequentialArt'': Hillary Locke, Kat's rival since grade school, is this sans the posse. She torments Kat at every opportunity because of a competition for popularity that seems to only be happening inside Hillary's own head. Hillary is also not above using sex to manipulate others and thrives on any positive attention she receives. From Kat's viewpoint, Hillary is a sadistic slut who just randomly decided to start bullying her and refuses to stop.
42	* Pre-teen version in the ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' SpinOffBabies strip ''Li'l Mell'', where Mell's first-grade class has ''two'' Alpha Bitches; best friends who are both called Taylor.
43	* ''Webcomic/LifeOfAnAspie'' gives us Hoshiko, Ayame who fits the mold (reasonably attractive, associates with the "popular" guy, has a posse, hates the main protagonist for petty reasons) quite nicely. However, her reason for not liking the autistic main lead what with Susan looking at her funny (albeit not ''intentionally'' so) combined with the latter physically assaulting the popular guy for something that ''wasn't even his fault'' gives her a bit more depth than the standard stereotype. Nonetheless, Ayame's holier-than-thou attitude gets her a ''stern'' verbal beatdown by Susan and eventually a '''physical''' one by the same person as well.
44	* ''Webcomic/ApricotCookies'': Jammy Smasher takes the leading role in [[FantasticAbleism mocking Apricot for her inability to transform]].
45	* ''Webcomic/{{Rascals}}'': Ever since the introduction of Amanda, she has shown rage and anger towards Chrissy.
46	* Tiffany from ''Webcomic/BigJo'' is mostly this, though she has a bit more depth.
47	* For the first part of ''Webcomic/AnecdoteOfError'', Shimei seems to have devoted her life to giving main character Atshi as much grief as possible. All her lines consist of talking down to her in the most passive-aggressive way imaginable and is always backed up by [[GangOfBullies Nishkose and Kezaua]]. After her HiddenDepths are revealed, she actually gets worse, as it turns out her mocking of Atshi for being a housekeeper is due to bigotry, not opportunism. But despite this, she can’t stand to let other people get physically hurt if she has a chance to prevent it.
48	* Manhwa/HeadOverHeels subverts and deconstructs it with Lee Soojin. Initially coming off as a generic bully to Ha Yan, she actually turns out to be the OnlySaneWoman in a cast full of DysfunctionJunction. She even starts looking out for Ha Yan's welfare and defends her when the GirlPosse starts to slut-shame her.
49	* As pictured above, there's Pyper in ''Webcomic/MagicalBoy''. She's first introduced as a HeteronormativeCrusader, constantly shaming Max (a trans boy) and Jen (a lesbian) for how they identify. But it turns out that [[ArmouredClosetGay Pyper herself is a lesbian]] and [[HeelFaceTurn once she accepts her own identity]], she ditches her GirlPosse and [[BullyTurnedBuddy becomes friends with Max]].
50	* ''WebComic/PrincessPrincess2012'': Claire, who's more conventionally beautiful and self-assured, bullies her younger sister Sadie for being fat and timid.
51	* ''WebComic/SpaceBoy'''s Cassie is a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]]. Her need to control everything is a result of feeling unable to control anything after an abusive relationship, and she genuinely thinks she's helping her friends, rather than hurting them. After her character [[spoiler:costs her her relationship with David]], she realizes she's taking it too far and [[CharacterDevelopment gradually learns to be more vulnerable]].
