12 | I'm the one who cracks the whip and holds the upper hand.\ |
13 | I'll beat you, mistreat you, till you quiver and quail.\ |

17 | This character is a female whose defining trait is that she is Dominant in the [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} BDSM]] sense of the word. She is very likely to be sexually dominant ([[SafeSaneAndConsensual ethically]] or [[FetishizedAbuser unethically]]), but doesn't have to be. Instead of being overtly sexual, she might be a dominatrix in a nonsexual way of PlayingToTheFetishes. For example, she might be an animal tamer who use her skill on humans for plot purposes. |

19 | The typical Dominatrix will wear a very strict (yet usually quite revealing) uniform and carry a whip or similar tool. Her clothes are usually made from [[HellbentForLeather leather]] or [[DressedAllInRubber rubber]], and often include thigh high boots. Don't be surprised if she takes a dominant attitude to almost everyone at almost all times...actually, be grateful if it stays at "almost". However, expect some people to [[MischiefForPunishment make sure to misbehave around her]]. |

21 | Simply being sexually dominant does ''not'' make a female character into a dominatrix. It must be her ''defining trait'', and overtly so. |
22 | |
23 | Also, the character doesn't have to be an actual character: One variation of GoodAngelBadAngel is to replace the angel with a woman dressed to look sweet and romantic and the devil with a woman dressed like a dominatrix. |
24 | |
25 | In a way, every Dominatrix is a fictional character...and this includes dominatrices in RealLife. Even when a sexually dominant woman has the dominance as her primary sexual identity, it's still just one of her many traits - not the one thing that defines her. The dominatrix, on the other hand, is a professional whose role is to fulfill a masochistic fantasy. This might be considered a kind of sex work, but most dominatrices do not include [[HighClassCallgirl sex]] or any form of nudity or physical contact in the services they provide. In fiction, however, a Dominatrix character does not have to have a job at all. Or [[OneHourWorkWeek anything else]] that might distract her from the plot ([[PlotWhatPlot or lack thereof]]). If she does have a job that is not related to sex or taming, she's probably living in a FetishFuelFuture compatible with being dominatrix at work anyway. |

27 | Compare to FetishizedAbuser, whose sex appeal is based on her physical and verbal abuse in which this is the only role women are allowed to have in BDSM. |
