8->''"Jade even takes time out of her busy schedule to give a couple of private lessons in social maneuvering and image, or 'how to be a bitch and make them love you for it'."''
9-->-- ''Fanfic/TheVictorsProject''
10
11So, 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.
12
13Note that the Lovable Alpha Bitch doesn't have to be pally with or even nice to the heroine's TrueCompanions, although she usually tolerates most of them. It also doesn't mean that she won't continue her {{Alpha Bitch}}y ways toward other unfortunate victims…she's just showing more restraint or better at making friends. In a lot of cases, a Lovable Alpha Bitch will be joined by a BetaBitch who is the really nasty one and will resent the relationship between her and the heroine. When placed [[WhatYouAreInTheDark in situations]] that [[FriendOrIdolDecision force her to choose popularity or going completely against the heroine,]] she would stand by the heroine and would never cross the MoralEventHorizon (she may lament the loss of her popularity but when asked if she regrets standing beside her, she would chastise the heroine for even bringing that up and would be glad to join her TrueCompanions in a heartbeat). Basically, she is an {{Anti Villain}}ous Alpha Bitch.
14
15Generally, the DistaffCounterpart to the BigManOnCampus and a likely candidate to be his girlfriend. Compare SpoiledSweet, which is about characters who are nice despite being spoiled; ClassPrincess, where the character has all the trappings of the AlphaBitch (contrast that trope) but never really ''is'' one or alternatively what the Lovable Alpha Bitch [[CharacterDevelopment develops into]]; FallenPrincess, where the AlphaBitch has to lose her status to become sympathetic; and AcademicAlphaBitch, who might care about her classmates as long as they know she's the best in the school. May overlap with JerkWithAHeartOfGold, DefrostingIceQueen, SugarAndIcePersonality, or sometimes BigBadWannabe. This trope may follow BreakTheHaughty. Also compare and contrast the LovableJock, who similarly inverts a common stereotype of a popular student but may be a straight-up NiceGuy. For the beta version, see InnocentBetaBitch.

23[[foldercontrol]]
24
25[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
26* Seika "Mariana" Akishima from ''Manga/Amakusa1637'' 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.
27* Marianne Hamilton from ''Anime/AshitaNoNadja''. Very rich, very blunt, a ClingyJealousGirl. Loves her dude [[spoiler:Francis]] sincerely despite her clinginess, aids Nadja in her ultimate quest, [[spoiler:quietly and tearfully walks away when she sees that Francis has chosen Nadja in the end]].
28* Izumo Kamiki from ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' is an IceQueen, but not only is she slowly {{defrosting|IceQueen}}, she [[spoiler:is the first to accept the fact that Rin is the son of Satan]]. [[{{Tsundere}} In her own way]]. Interestingly, her back story suggests that she isn't exactly popular (due to her ability to see demons) and only has one friend, which she insists is all she needs.
29* ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'':
30** Kongou Mitsuko, who apparently got the idea that acting like an AlphaBitch would [[LonelyRichKid get her some friends]]. Suffice to say, she got friends by acting otherwise. She still puts on the haughty whenever dealing with Kuroko, though.
31** Misaki Shokuhou is also an example: despite outwardly appearing like a typical AlphaBitch, she is extremely protective of her clique in spite of her paranoia and is even willing to work with Misaka, her chief popularity rival in Tokiwadai, when push comes to shove.
32* Alice from ''Manga/CroiseeInAForeignLabyrinth'' can't help but show her exuberant young-girl side, despite her desire to be seen as a classy rich lady. This is possible, however, since she's not chosen as the pride of her family who is expected to be the successor of the family, which is her elder sister, Camile. This makes Alice able to express the former side more freely due to much less pressure exerted on her by her family.
33%%* Rena Ichinose from ''Manga/DengekiDaisy''.
34* Bulma from the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise is an extremely rich ProudBeauty and somewhat vain and shallow, especially in the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' series. She's also very loyal and helpful to her friends and family.
35* ''Manga/FoodWars'':
36** Erina Nakiri becomes this following her CharacterDevelopment. Even though she starts out as an AcademicAlphaBitch, coming from a high-class family and ''very'' much aware of her own talent as a chef, she does exhibit some traits by being very caring towards those close to her like her assistant/best friend Hisako. After she learns that Soma [[spoiler: is the son of the chef she's always admired]] and following how the Polaris Dormitory's tenants take her in when she's running away from her father, she becomes much friendlier and even takes it upon herself to ensure they all pass the exams and become second-year students, even though she still remains a rather prideful person.
37** Her cousin Alice is another example. She's smug and competitive, but a lot more social than Erina, and while she does throw a tantrum upon being defeated by Soma, they're later shown to be engaging in some friendly banter. She's also willing to cook dishes for people who ask for it.
38* Sumire Shouda from ''Manga/GakuenAlice'' is this type. Throughout the series, she is the bossiest and snobbiest girl in the class, holds Alices well above non-Alices, and bullies Mikan when she first arrives at the Academy. However, she becomes helpful, resourceful, and even kind when there is trouble and helps organise the students to fight. In later chapters, she always takes Mikan's side when she is in trouble.
39* Amachi Hitsugi of ''Manga/HayateCrossBlade'' is something of an odd duck. She's obscenely wealthy, beautiful, the head of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, and the rules of the school are often secondary to [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem whatever she thinks would be interesting]]. But aside from her treatment of [[ButtMonkey Tatewaki]], she's encouraging to others and tends to be charmingly pretty crazy.
40* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': Despite her haughty demeanor and effectively being at the very top of Shuchi'in's PopularityFoodChain, Kaguya refuses to judge others based on rumors and hearsay. This is best shown with her relationship with [[TheEeyore Ishigami]], whom she develops a close Senpai/Kōhai bond with despite him having supposedly stalked a girl back in middle school, and goes so far as to scare off several girls with a DeathGlare when they try to dissuade her from associating with him. [[spoiler:Of course, it helps that she knew that he was innocent.]]
41* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke'':
42** Yano 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.
43** Kurumi becomes this throughout the series as well, with the similarity to Yano being [[LesYay very well noted by her.]]
44* Diana from ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'' comes from a long line of master witches. As a result, she is a [[ThePerfectionist Perfectionist]] who acts stuck up, takes pride in being better than the other witches in training, and acts condescending to those she feels are unworthy of the title with cold disrespect. She even has her own GirlPosse. However, deep inside, she is really caring, wants what's best for the witches guild, and is a ClosetGeek like her rival, the outgoing Akko.
45* Shinka Nibutani from ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'', especially in the anime version.
46* Sheryl Nome from ''Anime/MacrossFrontier''. Sure, she can steal Alto's free day just for fun and bend everybody to her schedule, but she is generally sweet and friendly, and actually helps people around her.
47%%* Ginny Golding from ''Manga/MarmaladeBoy''.
48* From ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' comes Riko Saikawa, a girl who was introduced as the AlphaBitch of her class confronting Kanna (a young dragon banished to Earth for one too many pranks, and took the form of a young girl to fit in), with a decidedly mixed message.
49-->'''Saikawa:''' (Angrily) "Those clothes are too cute and you're good at everything. It makes me so angry that I want to give you a hug!!"
50** It takes Kanna about 30 seconds and CrocodileTears to get Saikawa to feel bad and swear friendship out of regret. From that point, being the AlphaBitch is almost entirely overshadowed by Saikawa's running gag of CutenessOverload by Kanna and being her (maybe) girlfriend.
51* In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'', Secelia Dote, the only female member of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, spends the entirety of the first season hanging out on the couch and [[TheGadfly making snide remarks]] about anyone within earshot. However, as the show's stakes start to rise and [[DwindlingParty the other members of the Dueling Committee drop off]], she increasingly shows a softer side, taking her role as a leader of the student body rather seriously, performing duties as a student counselor (though her methods, while effective, are ethically dubious), being genuinely friendly with her ShrinkingViolet companion Rouji, and even gladly loaning a SuperPrototype suit owned by her company to one of the main characters. As it turns out, petty school drama is really the ''only'' kind of drama she's involved in, which makes her far preferable to the corporate skulduggery, MadScience, or outright insurgency of her fellow Committee members.
52* Ino Yamanaka from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is a milder version. She does act a little bit like one would expect an AlphaBitch would (at least in terms of interests) etc. At the same time, as a young girl, she was the one to reach out to bullied ShrinkingViolet Sakura by teaching her how to accentuate her apparently large forehead, introduce her to her friends, and stick up for her when an actual AlphaBitch Ami and her GirlPosse were trying to pick a fight. Not to mention, she comes from a long line of ass-kicking ninja, specializing in techniques to go inside peoples' minds (which she uses even on the nigh-unstoppable BigBad.) She also serves to keep her team together (a team in fact that has been together since their forefathers), but soft encouragement to GentleGiant Choji and a harsher more "kick in the rear" to BrilliantButLazy Shikamaru.
53* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
54** Emily Sevensheep. [[spoiler:Which makes her death in Yue's arms as heartbreaking as possible, and her subsequent resurrection (along with countless others) courtesy of Negi and Asuna's restoration of Mundus Magicus' denizens all the more heartwarming]].
55** Misa Kakizaki is another example of this. She's definitely the alpha girl of class 3-A, but there's no indication that she isn't just as liked as any other 3-A student.
56* Kourogi Mikage from ''Manga/{{Nononono}}'' who is a gold medalist and having both looks and brains is thought of (and thinks of herself) as a national celebrity. At first glance, she is a grade-A AlphaBitch that treats others as inferior to her and is ready to make their life miserable if they dare to deny her anything, once you get to know her though it turns out that despite all her arrogance she is a decent and caring person whose bitchiness comes as much from her "upper class" status as from her [[{{Tsundere}} inability to honestly express her feelings]].
57* While she isn't actually popular, Haru from ''Manga/{{Ojojojo}}'' acts this way once her character development sets in.
58* If ''Manga/OnePiece'' had taken place in a high school, Boa Hancock would be one of these. She takes care of her people, is brave and caring when it comes to her sisters and those that earn her favor. But to everyone else, well… quote the Queen herself:
59-->"Whether I kick a kitten… tear off your ears… even slaughter innocent people… the world will never cease to forgive my actions! Why, you ask? Why, [[ScrewTheRulesImBeautiful it is because I am beautiful]]!"
60** And, even more weirdly, [[KarmaHoudini people do]] [[EasilyForgiven forgive her]]. Kinda justified in that she is genuinely the strongest and most gorgeous woman in [[LadyLand Amazon Lily]]. As for her behavior, it's revealed that [[FreudianExcuse it's the result of a seriously messed-up past of child slavery]]. So much so that she and her sisters still go into panic attacks thinking about it and much of her bratty behavior (along with her preteen girl-styled romance toward Luffy) could be attributed to stagnated development (she was kidnapped as a pre-teen) from sheer force of trauma.
61* Nanami in ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' becomes this in the final arc. She used to be a ''major'' straight-up AlphaBitch, but a TraumaCongaLine helped to develop beyond it and she even befriends Utena in a {{Tsundere}} kind of way.
62* ''Manga/SailorMoon'':
63** One-time character Sonoko Iijyuin from ''Sailor Stars''. Grade A AlphaBitch to Usagi, demanding her to leave Seiya alone since she's his number 1 fan and challenging her to beat her at her sport… which is a totally unequal position, as Usa is a CuteClumsyGirl while Sonoko is a PassionateSportsGirl and REALLY good at softball. But when she sees that [[PluckyGirl Usagi is still determined to try it]], she softens up and sees Usagi as a WorthyOpponent. [[spoiler:And THEN, she's attacked by Lead Crow and forcibly turned into a monster--but Usagi, as Sailor Moon, manages to save her]].
64** Rei Hino (aka Sailor Mars) is this as well. She is popular at her school, and she does act kind of snobby and mean towards the other Guardians, particularly Usagi. But she is actually nice to her classmates, and then she becomes nicer (though still HotBlooded) to the other Sailor Guardians.
65* Touka Ryuumonbuchi from ''Manga/{{Saki}}''. She's a total bitch to everyone who isn't from Ryuumonbuchi High School (yes, the school belongs to her family) but is seriously nurturing toward everyone whom she takes under her wings, especially the KillerRabbit Koromo.
66* Akina in ''Manga/ShinozakisanKiWoOtaShikaNi'' would like to be an AlphaBitch but missed her chance after being sick for the first week of high school. Since all the cliques she would have joined are already formed, now she's forced to be friends with {{Otaku}}. What's worse is not only is she starting to fall for one of those Otaku, she's starting to become one herself.
67* "Monkey Queen"/[[spoiler:Reika Jogasaki]] from ''Switch Girl''. In the early volumes, she does everything to ruin Nika's life, setting up traps and malefic plans. But as the story goes on, she reveals herself to be a nice, kindhearted person, as she supports and helps Nika, especially during the Shutei arc.
68%%* Amane from ''Anime/TenchiMuyoGXP''.
69* Saki Tenjouin in ''Manga/ToLoveRu''. She comes off as a queen bee (even proudly declaring herself the queen of the school at every opportunity), but when someone needs help she is not hesitant to do what she can.
70* Fatina from ''Anime/TheTowerOfDruaga'' definitely feels like one of these. She's materialistic, vain (her whole reason for adventuring is to become rich so that she can buy her favorite fashion accessories), has a tendency to be judgmental and slap labels on and look down on people, enjoys mild bullying… is highly concerned about her companions, and has a strong sense of duty. When Jil is depressed after the events of season 1, Fatina is the one who takes care of him and works hard to support him financially for several months.

73[[folder:Comic Books]]
74* Sylvia Wellington in ''The Adventures of Oliva'' has all the trappings of a classic '80s RichBitch: greed, ConspicuousConsumption, a snobby accent, and being the sole married woman of the bunch. However, [[UnclePennybags she shares the wealth as much as she spreads her legs]], and, when hubby's finally shown, the couple are proven to be HappilyMarried swingers that mutually sleep around, but [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther only truly get off with each other]].
75* Veronica Lodge from ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' can be bitchy and catty, but underneath her bitchy facade, she is actually a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and definitely has a kind and caring side to her personality which makes her very likeable.
76* 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 a BigJerkOnCampus). 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.
77* Liz Allen in ''ComicBook/SpiderManLovesMaryJane''. Liz typically plays this role in most mediums. In the original series, she ended up developing a form of HeroWorship for Peter when they were in high school, though he [[AllLoveIsUnrequited sadly didn't notice]], having [[HisHeartWillGoOn since moved on from his crush on her]].
78* Brittany Parsons of ''ComicBook/VonHerlingVampireHunter'' is one. She's even got her own GirlPosse but cares about her friend Peggy Jo Warner and goes as far as to tell her posse to stop insulting Peggy.
79* Cornelia from ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'' was known to be incredibly disagreeable after getting her powers, but eventually gets used to it. She's also the local BullyHunter, being the one who protects younger and/or new students from the local bullies (that's how she first met and befriended Will and Taranee) and keeps in line the actual {{Alpha Bitch}}es.
80* ComicBook/EmmaFrost from ''ComicBook/XMen''. She's almost always conceited, extremely critical, and absolutely ruthless in any kind of fight. Not to mention she intentionally wears [[{{Stripperiffic}} all those skimpy outfits]] just [[AttentionWhore to get attention]]. However, she's a MamaBear to anyone who's officially or unofficially her student, and she's almost always been a loyal, reliable member of the various teams she's belonged to.
81[[/folder]]
82
83[[folder:Fan Works]]
84* ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool'' gives this role to [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jasmine]] and [[WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog Charlotte]], with [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco]] has a sort of male example (and a [[AwesomeEgo more egotistical]] one).
85* The ''Fanfic/ForeverCaptain'' series: There is a suggestion that Maria Carbonell is one of these, though she often uses her powers for good.
86* Several fanfics for ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' from season 2 and then on turn Chloé Bourgeois into this, mostly as a foil to Lila Rossi post-[[Recap/MiraculousLadybugS03E01Chameleon Chameleon]]. She takes Alya’s place as [[BullyTurnedBuddy Marinette’s new best friend]], while Alya herself becomes Lila’s BetaBitch, and isn’t afraid to tell off her classmates for dropping Marinette for Lila.
87** ''Fanfic/MarinetteDupainChengsSpitePlaylist'': Original Character Gabrielle. She’s head of [[TheProudElite the clique for children of]] OldMoney at Marinette’s new school. At first, she challenges Marinette for control. But then Marinette accidentally discovers that [[spoiler: she’s secretly [[ImpoverishedPatrician gone broke]]]]. Gabrielle expects Marinette to tell everyone and relish in her misfortune, but instead, Marinette is kind to her. Gabrielle shows [[HiddenDepths a softer side to Marinette]], and goes on to become a better person than she was in the beginning, helping Marinette in [[spoiler: her career and charities]].
88** ''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 Chloé 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.
89* ''Fanfic/TheOddsWereNeverInMyFavour'': Lavender Brown cares about little besides beauty treatments, prestigious party invitations, and gossip, and can be rude, but some of her gossip is important and non-malicious, she occasionally helps Neville with his misguided but well-meaning heroics, and she doesn't immediately pounce on every anti-Alexandra bandwagon.
90* ''Fanfic/OneDayAtATimeNyame'': Bette Kane. Heavily involved in Gotham politics and a little elitist, but never lords her status over others and accepts Bruce's adoptive children as family. Jason is reasonably fond of her since her future-self tutored him in Gotham politics, and trusts her to watch out for Tim, Stephanie, and Cass at his return gala.
91* In ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ResurrectedMemories'', [[spoiler: Ember, as Amberline, eventually manages to gain this sort of reputation around Casper High, in contrast to straight up AlphaBitch Paulina. The combination of her good looks, brains, musical talent, growing friendship with Team Phantom, and her nerve to go against Paulina and the other A-listers eventually ends with her becoming very popular among her peers at school.]]
92* ''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]] and [[BookDumb 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.
93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
96* Penny from ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' starts out as a straight-up AlphaBitch, to the point of literally treating Sherman like a dog. This, until she made a trip to Ancient Egypt [[spoiler:where Peabody and Sherman rescued her from marrying [[UsefulNotes/{{Tutankhamun}} King Tut]]]], finally becoming into this.
97* Siobhan from ''WesternAnimation/WendellAndWild'' is the daughter of a pair of {{Corrupt Corporate Executive}}s and the resident queen bee at RBC Girls, but she's InnocentlyInsensitive and EntertaininglyWrong at her worst and genuinely tries to befriend Kat. Once she actually does research on what her parents' private prisons are like (and in the process discovers exactly ''how'' awful the two are), she turns on them and goes to warn the heroes about their plans.
98[[/folder]]
99
100[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
101* ''Film/AvalancheSharks'': Jenna is a college spring-breaker version. She's introduced throwing her top at the sheriff and laughingly saying "everything goes" after he asks her and Lacy to show less skin. Later, when Randy tries to flirt with her, she walks away and says "loser alert." However, the next day she's shown cheerfully hanging out with Randy and approving of his crush on Carol. She also takes Wade and Madison seriously rather than ignore their YouHaveToBelieveMe warnings, helps them try to warn people, looks shocked when Wade accidentally hits Madison during a struggle with a lift attendant, and then helps Madison up.
102* Claire from ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. In fact, her bitchiness comes less from herself and more from peer pressure, and it's shown that deep down she's ''miserable'' due to it.
103* Jules from ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' is an interesting subversion of the trope… as is every other trope in this movie. She's the typical AlphaBitch [[TheTease sex tease]], [[spoiler:but only because of the pheromones and chemicals she's been given by the White Collars, to change her behavior and intelligence. In truth, she's very friendly, loveable, and funny, as seen at the beginning of the film.]]
104* Tess Tyler from ''Film/CampRock'' becomes one by the end of the first movie. [[AesopAmnesia And again by the end of the second one.]]
105* ''Film/{{DEBS}}'' starts off with Max as the captain of the D.E.B.S. squad. She has a Type A, take-charge, and aggressive personality that tends to dominate everyone around her and can be quite rough with Amy Bradshaw. After she's demoted to second-in-command she's devastated and becomes more sympathetic and by the end of the movie, she covers Amy's escape with Lucy, proving that she's a true friend.
106* Ashley Fruend and Ashlyn Halperin from ''Film/FinalDestination3'', despite behaving like typical ditzy popular girls, are actually friendly towards the protagonist Wendy. [[spoiler:During their funeral]], [[DeadpanSnarker Ian]] mentions how they had never done anything bad to anybody.
107* Vicki from ''Film/TheFinalGirls'' is [[BrutalHonesty blunt and sometimes downright rude]], popular, beautiful, [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]], and a bit full of herself. However, she has a good heart underneath it all, and she eventually breaks down crying, full of regret about how mean she's been, and sincerely apologizes to Max and Gertie. [[GroupHug They forgive her]].
108* ''Film/FreaksOfNature'': Lorelei is a pot-smoking, promiscuous popular girl who ignores the unpopular Dag's flirting and uses him to hide her drugs. However, she doesn't go out of her way to lord over other people, enjoys talking to Dag, and [[spoiler:doesn't hold a grudge over Petra turning her into a vampire or ending up with Dag right when Lorelei started liking him back.]]
109* ''Film/{{GBF}}'' focuses on a high school with three alpha bitches, all of whom reveal a far nicer side. 'Shley is willing to befriend Tanner despite Mormonism forbidding it and is generally the nicest and most approachable out of the three of them. Fawcett is the only one to stand up for Tanner re: the school's homophobic prom policies. Caprice is the only girl to understand Tanner needs a romantic life and isn't a neutered purse-poodle--so she tries to set him up with a hot British guy.
110* Dylan Schoenfield of ''Film/GeekCharming'' (both the film and the book it's based on) could be a codifier for this trope.
111* ''Film/Goosebumps2015'': Popular girl Taylor calls PluckyComicRelief character Champ "chump" instead of his real name (although one scene implies she may think his name really is Chump). However, she wants to help defend the gym against monsters rather than run away like her boyfriend. She also goes on to have a cute RescueRomance with Champ.
112* Amber Von Tussle in ''Hairspray'' (the [[Theatre/{{Hairspray}} musical]] and [[Film/Hairspray2007 its film adaptation]], in which she accepts her defeat and decides to join everyone else in having fun dancing… in the film, she even does so with a black dancer, defying her mother's racism.)
113* ''Film/HelloMaryLouPromNightII'''s Kelly, while venomous to protagonist Vicki, is perfectly nice to most everyone else, and shows poignant hints of insecure desperation for [[IJustWantToBeLoved esteem]] and [[IJustWantToBeSpecial adulation]].
114* Sharpay Evans from ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' either becomes this in her own movie (''Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure'') or always was this [[UnintentionallySympathetic for]] [[DracoInLeatherPants some]] [[RootingForTheEmpire audiences]].
115* Deconstructed in ''Film/TheHole'' with Creator/KeiraKnightley's character Frankie. When Liz tells her story to the police we see in flashbacks that Frankie is popular but isn't bitchy to Liz and helps her out (it's implied that Liz does her homework for her). [[spoiler: Then we learn that Liz's story is a lie and we see real flashbacks and Frankie fits the Alpha Bitch stereotype down to a T. Though Liz is actually worse than her.]]
116* Jessica Spencer of ''Film/TheHotChick'' is a {{Jerkass}} to certain people she doesn't like but takes good care of her baby brother. The PetTheDog moment with her brother is important because it makes it easy for us to feel sorry for her later on when she is magically transformed into a man (don't ask).
117* The title character of ''Film/ILoveYouBethCooper'' is this pretty much from the outset, even if she DrivesLikeCrazy. It's not her fault her boyfriend's a psycho...
118* Gen Harwood from ''Film/IcePrincess'' comes off as an inconsiderate party girl at first, but later turns out to be a good friend and guide to Casey. Notably, Gen seems quite disgusted by the trick her mother Tina pulled on Casey, even though Tina was doing it for Gen.
119* ''Film/JasonX:'' Janessa is constantly snarking at her fellow anthropology students and is quick to resort to SextraCredit for a better grade. Still, she loans HumanPopsicle Rowan some of her clothes after Rowan thaws out, tries to comfort a traumatized witness to one of Jason's murders, and never comes across as a DirtyCoward while working with the others to survive.
120* ''Film/{{Jawbreaker}}'' had TokenGoodTeammate of the GirlPosse, Liz Purr, who was never a real AlphaBitch though part of a bitchy girl posse. Julie became this through CharacterDevelopment. At the beginning of the movie, she's suffering from BystanderSyndrome, which leads to her involvement in the prank that killed Liz. She then grows a moral spine, quits the posse, and takes AlphaBitch [[VillainProtagonist Courtney]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome down]] via EngineeredPublicConfession.
121* ''Film/MeanGirls''
122** Regina George 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.]]
123** 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 despite her transformation as a Plastic, as best evidenced by a couple of tears during the house party scene.
124* ''Film/MissCongeniality'': Miss Texas is extremely focused on winning the pageant and the primary source of gossip about the staff and contestants. Her reactions during the final make it clear that she assumed she'd win and is visibly confused when she comes third. Despite all this, she's still friendly enough to the other girls and happily joins in when they go out for drinks. During the final, she's one of the first to intervene when it looks like Gracie is trying to steal the crown from Cheryl. Gracie ends up breaking her nose during the scuffle but in the final scene, Miss Texas is still happy for Gracie when she wins the titular award.
125* Misa from ''Film/{{Oyayubihime}}'' is nosy, rude, and gossipy. But she definitely isn't a bully, and she stands up to Saeko in spite of being blackmailed into staying quiet. Not to mention her fights with the teacher provide much comic relief.
126* Amanda Jones of ''Film/SomeKindOfWonderful'' is set up to be this, but really isn't. In fact, both her nastiness and her social status stem from her ManipulativeBastard boyfriend Hardy Jenns and once they break up, she improves very quickly.
127* Mikaela Banes, the attractive and open-minded girlfriend of a JerkJock, from ''Film/{{Transformers|2007}}'' looks like she's developing into this before the plot kicks into high gear and her [[FallenPrincess troubled history]] comes out.
128* Lovable might be putting it too strong, but Brittany from the fourth ''Film/LakePlacid'' movie starts out as a more generic AlphaBitch before showing some more admirable aspects later on. From her first scene, she is jealous of Chloe (who has some mild chemistry with her boyfriend Drew) from the get-go and doesn't hesitate to peck away at Chloe through AccidentalMisnaming and AntiIntellectualism, as well as having sex with Drew to further make up his mind. Once the giant crocodiles attack though, she displays real concern for the others and does try to save someone whose being eaten. Afterwards, she is clearly traumatized by what happened and shows a much softer attitude towards Chloe and her friend Elaine throughout the attempts to escape the creatures, never questioning them or [[TheMillstone endangering the rest of the group or acting entitled towards them]].
129* ''Film/PromWars'': While Jen B. is subordinate to Diana in her school's social order, she does have a lot of independent moments and is blonde, relatively shallow, and shows open favoritism to the ProudElite JerkJock Lancaster school over the long-abused {{Lovable Nerd}}s at Selby for most of the competition. Still, she is capable of showing respect for the Selby students or solidarity with her friends and thinks Joe's LoveLetterLunacy is cute.
130* ''Film/StepUp'': Sophie Donovan from the second movie is the most accomplished female singer and dancer at the school and has a distant, slightly entitled demeanor. However, she appreciates the happiness and passion of the street dancers, starts smiling more, defends them against the DeanBitterman, and never insults, sabotages, or mistreats her love rival or any of the less popular students (except in one DeletedScene) even before her CharacterDevelopment.
131* ''Film/WhiteWolves'': Pamela is a senator's daughter, doesn't hesitate to mention this (and various other achievements), asks for help a lot, and complains some about how hard wilderness survival is. However, she does have some moments of good humor, determination, compassion for Jack and Quentin, and helpfulness, especially later in the movie.
132* ''Film/Youth2017'': Shuwen is the dorm captain and the daughter of a high official, and flaunts her family status. She is hard on Xiaoping at times, and one of the first people to make fun of her body odor. However, she doesn't go as far as some of the others do with their bullying behavior and is shown to have sympathetic qualities. She points out to Dingding when she's being unfair to Liu Feng, and years later, sticks up for Liu Feng when she sees him being shoved around.

135[[folder:Literature]]
136* ''Literature/FourKidsInFiveEAndOneCrazyYear'': Destiny is the gossipy leader of a group of popular female girls and can get caught up in getting what she wants. She is also sensitive to other people's feelings most of the time, reaches out to help several of her classmates during difficult times, understands that some secrets are off-limits for gossip, and works hard to be a good student.
137* Alexia of ''Literature/BecauseOfMrTerupt'' is the most popular girl in the school and initially appears to be manipulative and mean, but her softer side comes out among her friends and with the kids in the Collaborative Classroom, especially Emily.
138* ''{{Literature/Carrie}}'':
139** Sue Snell is a pretty, popular straight-A student, who initially participates in some nasty locker room bullying of Carrie White (egged on by the much more evil Chris Hargenson). Afterwards she suffers a HeelRealization and tries to make amends to Carrie.
140** In the 2002 TV film adaptation, Helen Shyres is initially shown as a bully towards Carrie, but she too has a HeelFaceTurn; complimenting her on her prom dress, nearly stopping the prank from happening, and slapping someone for laughing at her.
141* The protagonist of ''[[Literature/ForgottenRealms Daughter Of The Drow]]''. Liriel was a minor member of the ruling clan popular among young party-loving nobles and wasn't more malevolent than being good at the Drow brand of humour required. Later in the Academy, she habitually pranked her peers, mainly the plump girl she referred to as "a peasant" (in fact, noble, but from an agriculture-focused House)--a senior student known as humorless and too vicious with younger students. Which only made the perpetrator more popular as a wizard sneaky enough to repeatedly humiliate the hated jerk without leaving any proof.
142* Bethany Davis in ''Literature/EveryOtherDay'' by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d:
143-->'''Bethany:''' I'm shallow, not a [[TheSociopath sociopath]].
144* Kirche from ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' starts off the series as a bully towards Louise, but becomes nicer as the series continues. By this time, she doesn't act rude anymore and often ends up being the gang's big damn hero along with either Tabitha or Mr. Colbert.
145* ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'''s Kaname Chidori is well-known at her school as "The Coolest Girl In School You'd ''Never'' Want to Date" because, while people recognize that she's smart, pretty, athletic, and actually quite helpful, she's also a very abrasive and occasionally violent loudmouth who never quite shook off the BrooklynRage she acquired from growing up in New York. Kaname seems to be generally content with this reputation, as it's a ''huge'' step up from her miserable experience in middle school.
146* Sena Kashiwazaki of ''Literature/{{Haganai}}'' is a [[MsFanservice ridiculously hot]] RichBitch who lords herself over her schoolmates at the academy her father runs. Then she signs up for the Neighbors Club and reveals that she wanted true friends. Thus she does make some within the club in the form of Kodaka Hasegawa, a British-Japanese boy whose blonde hair and oriental face make his classmates mistake him for a "delinquent" and, secretly, ClubPresident Yozora Mikazuki (whose {{Jerkass}} tendencies hide her [[NoSocialSkills social-relationship problems]] as grave, if not even worse, than Sena's).
147* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
148** Fleur Delacour of Beauxbatons Academy in the books gets a lot of flack for dating Bill Weasley, due to his family believing her to be a pure AlphaBitch who's only superficially interested in him. She proves them wrong by standing by her man even after his face is disfigured. Though part of her reasoning is in pure AlphaBitch fashion--she's beautiful enough for the both of them, and the scars Bill received from Greyback prove that her husband is brave. She then promptly starts cleaning his wounds.
149** There's also Cho Chang of Ravenclaw, who's pretty, popular, a star Quidditch player, has her own GirlPosse, but is actually a NiceGirl who just has some severe emotional and psychological problems. [[spoiler:Her first boyfriend being casually murdered by the BigBad in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]] didn't help]].
150* ''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 (deliberately making it look like a cheerleading uniform), and is demanding but considerate toward new employees.
151* Constanza Grayfoot in the ''Literature/{{Midnighters}}'' series by Creator/ScottWesterfeld may not be particularly nice to any of the other Midnighters--though she will admit that Dess "[[GoodWithNumbers knows her trig]]"--but she's a genuine and supportive friend to Jess, though a somewhat superficial one.
152* [[spoiler:Lana]] in ''Literature/ThePrincessDiaries''. By the end of the series, she's become close friends with Mia and is shown to be genuinely sympathetic. As soon as the film premiered in 2001, she is Mia's enemy even though Music/MandyMoore portrayed her as an ultra-snobby cheerleader in which she doesn't like her princess friend (Creator/AnneHathaway) at all due to the protagonist stealing her boyfriend, Josh Bryant, right from under her nose.
153%%* Kara in ''Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic''.
154%%* Clio Martin in the ''{{Literature/Balefire}}'' series by Cate Tiernan.
155* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' has Rosalie Hale for the vampires and Leah Clearwater for the werewolves as aloof, socially prominent and capable of surprising compassion.
156* Ginevra Fanshawe in Charlotte Brontë's ''Literature/{{Villette}}''. She is completely open about being a superficial GoldDigger, but she seems to genuinely value Lucy's friendship.
157%%* Noelle Lange in the ''Literature/{{Private}}'' series by Kate Brian.
158* Sally from ''Literature/{{Spooksville}}'' may be pretty, vain, sarcastic, and overconfident, but is a pretty decent girl overall. Also, even though she's always fighting with Cindy, she really does care about her as in one book Cindy is seemingly [[ItMakesSenseInContext killed by a pterodactyl]] Sally is really upset and even [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness starts crying.]]
159* Ami Kawashima from ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'' starts off as a BitchInSheepsClothing but eventually learns to be a somehow more balanced snarky JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Justified in that, at first, almost everyone ''thinks'' Ami is a bitch (except Kitamura, a close friend of hers). It is later revealed she has to deal with creepy stalkers and legions of fans almost every day, due to being a famous teen model.
160* The ''Literature/IHateFridays'' character Kirsty is not a bully, but she clearly thinks she's better than everyone else in Koala Hills and tends to be InnocentlyInsensitive in her pursuit of fame and luxuries. Most of the other students avoid her.
161* Reena in ''Literature/ThePoisonApples'' to contrast her eventual two best friends Molly and Alice who come from a FriendlessBackground. She is good-looking, rich, [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] and finds it very easy to [[InWithTheInCrowd befriend the right people to become popular]]. Despite this, she never bullies unpopular kids like [[ScholarshipStudent Molly]] and even though she and her roommate [[LonelyRichKid Alice]] get off on the wrong foot, she doesn't do anything mean besides avoiding Alice. Her best friend from her previous school, Katie, is stated to be this, too.
162* ''Literature/SpySchool'': Elizabeth Pasternak, a girl at Ben's school who he used to have a crush on (and who Mike dates for a few books), who, according to Alexander, doesn't even know Ben's alive but doesn't seem malicious or snotty upon actually appearing. When she briefly expresses attraction to Ben upon reappearing in the eighth book he doesn't refer to her as stuck-up or unpleasant, but just too normal, when discussing why he's no longer interested in her.
163* ''Literature/JustJuliet'': Lacey, who's the most popular girl at Grant and frequently insults people, but only in jest. She's really not malicious at heart. Lena dubs her "Queen Bitch" nonetheless, though they're best friends.
164* This trope is deconstructed in the book ''The Kate in Between''. The main character Kate makes friends with the local mean girl Taylor and the two have a genuine friendship with each other but while Taylor is shown to have her good points and really seems to appreciate Kate's friendship her bad points eventually begin to overtake them to the point where [[spoiler: after Kate chooses to go to her old best friend Haddie's birthday party over a get together with Taylor and her friends, Taylor in a petty act of spite leaks an incriminating video of Kate nearly destroying her reputation. After this they stop being friends.]]
165* ''Literature/GhostGirl2021'': Nellie, while starting off as Zee's rival and bully, reveals herself to be this when they're forced to ally to save the town. She puts more effort into getting along with Zee even when the latter is initially hostile towards her, forming a genuine friendship as they work together. Even prior to this, she's shown to be on good terms with Elijah despite him being friends with her nemesis and the two being on different ends of the social ladder, the two gradually growing closer and developing a mutual crush.
166[[/folder]]
167
168[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
169* ''Series/EightSimpleRules'' - Bridget is a vain, superficial blonde ditz. However, she's shown with enough HiddenDepths to be presented as a likable character. In fact, one episode has her introducing herself on the intercom and is met with thunderous applause from around the school.
170* ''Series/AmericasNextTopModel'': Bianca from Cycle 9 was a monster, picking on poor [[UsefulNotes/AspergersSyndrome Heather]] and [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Stripper with a Heart of Gold]] Lisa. But you can't hate her too much when her disses are as poetic as "check your thighs in the mirror, and I'm done" and her claim that she's a "fun bitch" not a "bitchy bitch". It's more fun to judge ''America's Next Top Model'' contestants by their capacity for MemeticMutation as opposed to their actual modelling ability.
171* ''Series/ANTFarm'': Lexi started the show a straight-up AlphaBitch, but has slowly been shaping up as this, getting some moments of potential friendship with Chyna and even some ShipTease with Chyna's brother, Cameron.
172* ''Series/BeverlyHills90210''
173** Kelly is initially portrayed as a popular, stuck-up snob but over the years she grows into a much more likable person.
174** In the SequelSeries, Naomi. She's not that bad. She genuinely has a nicer side, but would still act like a bitch if anyone has ever hurt or betrayed her in any way. She evolved into this after her CharacterDevelopment in season 3.
175* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': Penny is a gorgeous young woman who socializes easily. In high school, she was a very popular AlphaBitch, a realization that leads her to try and apologize to everyone she bullied, though none of them wanted anything to do with her. As an adult, her closest friends are female scientists Bernadette and Amy (with the latter even being her best friend) and she's also a TeamMom to a group of male nerds.
176* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
177** Cordelia Chase starts as a regular AlphaBitch but becomes this through CharacterDevelopment and HiddenDepths. Eventually, she also becomes a FallenPrincess, but even when she becomes a regular on the {{Spinoff}}, ''Series/{{Angel}}'', she still retains some of the Alpha Bitchy qualities she had to begin with.
178** Buffy herself falls in and out of this trope, having a fairly similar background to Cordelia before becoming TheChosenOne seriously [[BlessedWithSuck derailed her life]].
179%%* Sasha from ''Series/{{Bunheads}}''.
180* ''Series/{{Carrusel}}'': Maria Joaquina had two KickTheDog moments in the beginning when she ripped the card that Cirilo gave her for her birthday and then when she ratted Marcelina for cheating on a test. The ''second'' one, however, bit her in the butt badly as her classmates ([[DoggedNiceGuy Cirilo]] included) isolated her; Maria Joaquina ended up [[HeroicBSOD breaking down in tears]] due to this, and after that, she became the Lovable Alpha Bitch we know and love.
181* ''Series/CobraKai'': In season 4, Aisha mentions a girl at her new school who wears more pink than Malibu Franchise/{{Barbie}} and initially gave her a dismissive look due to her overweight and nerdy appearance. However, when Aisha asked the girl if she could show Aisha around, rather than rebuke her, the other girl agreed and they quickly became close friends (although the fact that Aisha made sure to compliment her shoes to break the ice helped).
182%%* Rosamund "Rosie" Webster, from ''Series/CoronationStreet''. [[IAmNotSpock Do not confuse her with Helen Flanagan, her actress]].
183* ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'': Rebecca meets a quintet of these girls in the episode where she volunteers at her old summer camp. At first, five of the teenage girls there are determined to make Rebecca's life hell, laughing at her and mocking her every chance they get. However, when Rebecca tries to give a speech on female empowerment, only to break down into hysterical sobs due to her own personal issues, all the campers leave... except the five girls who were making fun of her the whole time, who instead approach Rebecca and sit with her on the stage. They sympathetically listen to Rebecca's troubles, and then give her a makeover and sing a SelfEmpowermentAnthem to try and encourage her. Their advice is questionable, to say the least, but it quickly becomes clear that they're not really bad people.
184* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': When we first meet Marci Stahl, she seems like Regina George if Regina George became a lawyer. She makes no secret of being selfish and mostly interested in her own career. But it turns out that Marci has moral standards and her open bitchiness can be strangely endearing. Karen finds it amazing that Foggy used to date her. Marci eventually drops the selfishness bit after Foggy persuades her to turn against her colleagues at Landman & Zack and sell them out for conspiring in Wilson Fisk's criminal enterprise. By season 2, she's been hired on at Hogarth, Chao & Benowitz and has become a somewhat nicer person. She's also one of the most observant of Foggy's true potential, and in season 3 is responsible for prodding him into running against Blake Tower for District Attorney.
185* ''Series/DeadOfSummer'': Jessie starts out looking like a more conventional AlphaBitch, but receives some major CharacterDevelopment in episode 4 showing her to have a softer side. [[spoiler:Of the two people who learn that Drew is transgender, she's the one who accepts him for who he is -- and given that the show is set in TheEighties, that says a lot about her character. (Especially since the other person who found out about Drew's sexuality, Blair, was himself gay and was [[UnsettlingGenderReveal squicked out about his would-be boyfriend's gender identity]].)]]
186* ''Series/{{Degrassi|TheNextGeneration}}'': 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''.
187* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Rachel started off like this before her CharacterDevelopment. This goes back to her days in high school when she was a spoiled AlphaBitch cheerleader but was still friends with the unpopular Monica.
188* ''Series/{{Glee}}'':
189** Quinn Fabray starts off as a nasty Alpha Bitch, gets pregnant, and becomes a FallenPrincess. Now that she's had the baby she's back to being a cheerleader...but is still friends with everyone in the glee club. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Except Rachel]]. Unfortunately, it seems her character has reverted back to her original personality. See [[http://www.vulture.com/2011/04/glee_chart.html this chart]] for a general outline of her inconsistent personality throughout the first half of season two.
190** Santana Lopez started out as TheDragon to Quinn's AlphaBitch only to inherit the top title when Quinn became the FallenPrincess. She's now nursing a healthy dose of {{Gayngst}}. Also, she's been getting more and more sweet moments, with Brittany in particular and arguably the club in general. All while keeping her [[SpicyLatina spiciness]].
191** ''Glee'' seems to be unable to function without at least one of these in the cast. The newest version is new head cheerleader Kitty, who spends most of a season in the New Directions apparently just to mess with them. Then, when she hears of other popular girls harassing Unique, she vehemently demands their names, so she can put Nair in their shampoo bottles. Off the rest of the cast's shocked looks, she finally admits that they're her friends...and, naturally, she will deny that at the top of her lungs outside of that room.
192* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife'': Blair Warner is a RichBitch but the rare HiddenHeartOfGold subtype.
193* ''Literature/GossipGirl'': Blair Waldorf, the ruthless queen bee, can be sweet and does worry about the people she likes if she's on good terms with them, but only her close friends and family get to see this side of her.
194* ''Series/HemlockGrove:'' Catty popular girls Alexa and Alyssa Sworn make fun of Shelley's appearance, flippantly pressure their best friend Christina to be more sexually active, and supposedly pressured Christina into touching a decaying corpse once (the accuracy of that flashback is a bit debatable). However, as the first season progresses, the twins are also genuinely concerned and supportive toward Christina during her SanitySlippage, show some warmth and vulnerability around their dad, stop picking on people after a few episodes, and at one point try to stop some bullies from assaulting Peter.
195* Charlotte Hinchcliffe of ''Series/TheInbetweeners'' is the LustObject of most of the boys at school, very popular, and the lads are shocked when she turns up to a party that was so uncool that they were actually invited. However, when Will gets to know her they develop a friendship of sorts over the course of the series, although Will has a crush on her she makes it clear they're JustFriends.
196* ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'': Miu Kazashiro becomes one early in the show's run, losing her fanbase after the MonsterOfTheWeek [[EngineeredPublicConfession records her badmouthing her admirers and broadcasts it during the school's]] BeautyContest (and beats her up). She ends up winning back her classmates' respect by going up on stage during the last part of the contest (while still bandaged and using a crutch) and delivering an epic speech where she explains that she hates admirers because it means they're focusing on her rather than improving themselves. She also accepts the MagneticHero's offer of friendship and ends up becoming the (self-proclaimed) president of the Kamen Rider Club, and then the (self-proclaimed) chairman after she graduates.
197* ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'': Kate was originally friends with Lizzie and her friends until she got a bra. At the start of the series, she is the AlphaBitch stereotype. Later on, she has moments of sympathy, such as when her sister and mother seem to show her little to no affection, and some moments that show her character develop, such as helping Lizzie and Gordo in the movie (also becoming a ShipperOnDeck for the two).
198* ''Series/LittleLunch'': Tamara has elements of this, although given her athleticism she may be more of a female JerkJock. She has the bossiness and tendency to dictate other people's social status of the traditional alpha bitch, but she's not really a bully, and she inevitably comes around and proves herself a good friend in the end.
199* ''Series/MaggieAndBiancaFashionFriends'': Bianca starts off as an AlphaBitch and RichBitch, especially towards Maggie. As it's obvious with the title of the series, she quickly reveals her HiddenDepths behind her shallow IceQueen attitude, and learns to appreciate Maggie's friendship... [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther at times]]. By contrast, Nausica is a straight-up AlphaBitch all the time, although even Nausica ends up becoming lovable (or at least, nicer) at the end of the series.
200* ''Series/{{Misfits}}'': Alisha. Although other characters have called her out on her bitchy behavior and after going through a lot of CharacterDevelopment she is no longer an AlphaBitch.
201* ''Series/{{Mortified}}'': Brittany, although how much of an Alpha Bitch she is [[DependingOnTheWriter varies from episode to episode]].
202* ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'': After being turned into a vampire, Erica adopts a stereotypical AlphaBitch persona. However, she's still nice toward Sarah and is willing to help her out on occasion. The show also gives her the FreudianExcuse of being bullied before becoming a vampire and implies her post-transformation personality is her trying to overcompensate for this.
203* ''Series/TheOC'': Summer Roberts starts out as a rude and spoiled AlphaBitch. But then becomes more of a somewhat ditzy, but likable girlfriend for Seth.
204* ''Series/OneTreeHill'': Brooke Davis. Early on, she's closer to the AlphaBitch side of things, but she's also very protective of the people she considers friends, even if they aren't the typical popular people (note her [[OddFriendship friendship with Mouth]]).
205* ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "Abduction", Danielle initially seems to be an AlphaBitch as she taunts the deeply religious Brianna for being a "UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} freak" and mockingly suggests that she is still a virgin. Cody Phillips resents her for laughing in his face when he asked her out. However, she tells Cody that he needs to forgive her for doing so and that she is as much trapped in her role as the most popular girl in school as he is trapped in his role as the school outcast. Danielle is later as delighted as everyone else when she learns that Brianna is still alive and is the first of the students to hug her.
206%%* ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'': Cassidy Cornell gradually becomes one.
207* ''Series/PowerRangersSPD:''Syd is a GirlyGirl who can be acid-tongued on occasion (especially toward Z). However, she's generally loyal and caring, takes things like Sky dumping a bottle of water on her head with a good deal of humor, and is the first character shown treating Boom TheChewToy lab assistant nicely.
208%%* Margaux Kramer on ''Series/PunkyBrewster''
209* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Averted with Libby in early seasons who is an AlphaBitch through and through (and former TropeNamer) but played straight with Morgan in later seasons. She is a shallow, selfish, spoiled airhead but not a bad person, and she actually gets better after her first few episodes becoming one of Sabrina's best friends.
210* ''Series/SavedByTheBell''': Lisa Turtle is fashion-obsessed and boy-crazy - as well as prone to occasional moments of BrutalHonesty. But she too is a fundamentally good person, and her fashion obsession is in fact because she wants to pursue a career as a designer.
211* ''Series/SchittsCreek'': Alexis Rose is a FallenPrincess but it gradually becomes clear that even before losing her wealth and during her time as a globe-trotting socialite, Alexis was always kind-hearted and decent if a bit clueless and shallow.
212%%* ''Series/ShakeItUp'': [=CeCe=] Jones.
213* ''Series/{{Skins}}'': Mini started out pure AlphaBitch, but has grown gradually [[DefrostingIceQueen nicer]] over the course of Season 5 since [[ThePowerOfFriendship becoming friends with the other kids]], although the Mini/Franky/Matty love triangle can bring out [[GreenEyedMonster her bitchier side]].
214* ''Series/SonnyWithAChance'': Tawni was solidified as this by the first season finale, where she prevents Sonny and Chad's TenMinutesInTheCloset moment from being broadcast live by [[JerkAss Gilroy Smith]].
215* ''Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody'': London Tipton has some RichBitch tendencies but she's rarely malicious and is way too stupid to be considered a true AlphaBitch.
216* ''Series/TeenWolf'': Lydia Martin especially when she's around Allison or Jackson. But she's a hard character to hate once you've seen her [[spoiler:season-long descent into hallucination-induced insanity]].
217* ''Series/That70sShow'': The self-absorbed and spoiled Jackie Burkhart was originally TheFriendNobodyLikes, but Donna eventually warms up to her, and they become a TomboyAndGirlyGirl pair.
218* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': Caroline. Blonde, popular, pretty, ditzy (not helped by having been repeatedly mind-controlled), but nice enough.
219%%* ''Series/VeronicaMars'': Lilly Kane in the BackStory.
220* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': When she's first introduced, Jade West is set up as the AlphaBitch rival to Tori. However, as the show went on, Jade was given some moments that gave the character depth and insecurities. She even warmed up to Tori, though there was still hostility between the two.
221[[/folder]]
222
223[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
224* [[FictionFiveHundred The stupidly rich]] Ashley Cartier and [[Wrestling/{{Ivory}} Tina Ferrari]] may have been [[SubvertedTrope subversions]] since they were supposed to be likable from the get-go, even though Cartier openly referred to herself as "prissy". Still, that the well-off California girls living the life of luxury were baby {{face}}s rather than Wrestling/TedDibiase type {{heel}}s is worth mentioning.
225* The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew were largely this in Women's Extreme Wrestling, not necessarily because they were ''good'' but between {{delinquents}}, whores, drug addicts, a JerkAss "angel", a FallenAngel, a [[AllBikersAreHellsAngels Hells' Angel type biker]] and a literal GoldDigger(The Home Wrecking Crew [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything don't do much home wrecking]]), a couple of alpha bitches really [[ALighterShadeOfGrey didn't seem that bad]]. In Wrestling/{{WSU}} they were also mostly faces, despite Rain being [[ALighterShadeOfBlack near the peak of her violent psychopathy]], due Jessicka Havok proving [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness worse]] when Rain honored a pledge to "behave" Wrestling/MercedesMartinez made her take. Rain and ''International'' Home Wrecking Crew partner Jetta also became faces by default by way of nostalgia when they came out of retirement and Lacey became one after her HeelFaceTurn in Wrestling/RingOfHonor. Granted, they all still defaulted to bitch, just less harmful bitches and or bitches with AssholeVictims.
226* Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople, of all groups, temporarily became this in Wrestling/{{TNA}} when Wrestling/VelvetSky and Wrestling/MadisonRayne reunited to survive the combined onslaught of Wrestling/GailKim, Wrestling/LeiDTapa, and Alpha Female. But then Kim turned face, Wrestling/AngelinaLove returned and any likability The Beautiful People had was gone. Then TNA managed to do it again in 2015, even with Angelina Love, by way of creating a less charismatic and more petty GirlPosse known as The Dollhouse(which was ironically formed by Wrestling/TarynTerrell for the purpose of humiliating perennial Beautiful People nemesis Gail Kim) that Love, Sky, and Rayne were forced to unite again against.
227[[/folder]]
228
229[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
230* Good aligned female dragons in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' are sometimes portrayed with this sort of personality when they're not the TeamMom.
231[[/folder]]
232
233[[folder:Theater]]
234* Invoked in ''Theatre/{{Heathers}}''. After JD kills Heather Chandler, he forges a suicide note claiming that she killed herself because she was really suffering inside and no one could see who she really was. Everyone in school believes the note and concludes that Heather Chandler was, deep down, a genuinely good person, which couldn't be further from the truth.
235* Galinda/Glinda from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}''. Spoiled, ditzy, entitled, and bratty... but also deeply loyal to Elphaba, and in possession of a genuinely good heart beneath it all. By the time act two begins, she's outgrown her AlphaBitch ways almost entirely, and the end of the show has her ascend to a BenevolentMageRuler for the sake of the greater good.

239* The villagers with the Snooty personality from ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' post-Wild World anyway. They compliment your house, get along well with [[SlobsVsSnobs Lazy]] villagers, are like CoolBigSis figures to Lazy, Peppy, and even [[OddFriendship Normal]] villagers. However, they still are the prime source of gossip in your town, though should you befriend one, and you respond to her she'll just say she's just spreading the good word about you and that you are clearly better than everyone else there (even if a fellow Snooty lives there). In New Horizons their gossipy comments are pretty much gone, they say hello to everyone, act like a [[TeamMom surrogate mother/big sister]] to the rest of the town, sing, flirt with just about everyone as part of their Camp Fashionista personality, and are pretty much exactly the opposite of what they [[AlphaBitch used to be.]]
240* Mandy in ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'' first appears to be the epitome of Alpha Bitchdom (beautiful, head cheerleader, dates the captain of the school football team, is ''viciously'' cruel to the nerd girl, etc.) however the inevitable humiliation she receives is not actually PlayedForLaughs when we see her reaction to it, and she is also shown to be well aware of how horrible she is and that it stems from her own insecurities.
241* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
242** Clarine from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade''. She keeps demanding vassalage from Rutger and Lance and can be pretty mean to those who get close to her brother Klein, but she also helps Dorothy with her self-esteem without any hidden agenda and secretly fears that, once the "adventure" is over, she won't be able to see the outside world again.
243** To a degree, Princess L'Arachel from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones''. She's shown to be selfish, kinda childish, and '''[[LargeHam very bombastic]]''', but she's also very brave and kindhearted when push comes to shove, like when [[spoiler:she manages to pull Eirika out of an HeroicBSOD after losing the Stone of Renais to Lyon and gives her very valuable advice]].
244** Maribelle from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', oh so much. She's got a sharp tongue and can come off as snobbish and a bit cold, but she also has a strong sense of justice and is loyal to the death to her friends. Oh, and she's also [[WhiteMage a very powerful mounted healer]].
245* In ''VideoGame/GrowingUp'', Alicia and Felicity start off as {{Alpha Bitch}}es, but if you make the right choices, they'll [[DefrostingIceQueen become nicer towards you and even become your friend/girlfriend.]]
246* Juliet in ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'' acts quite rude and is clearly a popular girl, but mostly she is just reckless and has a tendency to jump to conclusions. When reasoned with she proves to be a decent girl willing to change her behavior for the better, which sets her apart from [[AlphaBitch Victoria]] and her GirlPosse.
247* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
248** ''VideoGame/Persona3'':
249*** Yukari. She's a popular {{Tsundere}} on campus and comes off as cheery, but also quite snarky on a bad day. [[spoiler:Annoying as she seems, it's appropriate to call her a JerkassWoobie rather than straight-up {{Jerkass}} due to her very troubled backstory]].
250*** Natsuki is the more clear-cut example of this trope. Her deeds and demeanor were more vile, and she often bullied Fuuka [[spoiler:until their supernatural near-death bonding experiences brought them to be close friends instead.]]
251** Ai Ebihara from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', once you get close enough to her and max her Social Link [[spoiler: which reveals her RagsToRiches and FormerlyFat past, which is what made her an AlphaBitch to start with.]]
252* SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS of ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' is one of the most loved video game characters, but she is horrible and verbally abusive toward the player character all the time. Despite this, as the sequel shows, she's not all bad at, er, "heart". At least until she [[spoiler:deletes Caroline. Considering her history, though, that might be another lie.]]
253* Emma in ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'' is 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.
254* Etoile, in ''VideoGame/RhapsodyAMusicalAdventure'', is set up initially as the Alpha Bitch, but you mostly see her nicer side during your interactions with her in the game.
255* Rouge the Bat from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', though how lovable she is depends a lot on the game, as in her first appearance (''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'') she is actively helping [[BigBad Eggman]] get the Chaos Emeralds, though by the time of ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' she is a straight-up [[TheHero Hero]] who comes to Sonic's birthday party.
256* Haley, one of the possible romance options from ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', is initially established as a [[SpoiledBrat stuck-up little brat]] who insults [[PlayerCharacter The Farmer]]'s scruffy appearance and throws tantrums at being told to do minor housework. However, her bonding scenes and her list of favourite gifts reveal she's quite sweet deep down. She's notably the only potential romance option who ends up taking a curious interest in the main character's farmer lifestyle, and she even takes up reading and donating much of her colossal wardrobe to charity.
257* Elise in ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons2014'' is a RichBitch who controls the majority of the town's fields in the beginning, and her servants paint a vivid picture of her as condescending and harsh, most of them loathing her. One servant even imagines her possible future spouse and [[HenpeckedHusband pities the poor man]]. However, she's surprisingly affable to the player and gives you your first horse for cheap[[note]]5 milks[[/note]]. After some CharacterDevelopment, she becomes nicer.
258* Karin Kanzuki of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' fame debuted as an arrogant, haughty RichBitch, but over the course of her story in that game, she befriends her rival Sakura, sponsors up-and-coming wrestler Rainbow Mika, and generally matures to the standards her family expects of her. Come ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' and she's now become the de-facto BigGood of the story, using her money and power to assist the heroes in taking on [[NebulousEvilOrganisation Shadaloo]] and offering her family's [[BigFancyHouse massive estate]] as a base of operations for them to do so.
259* Nina from ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' is Newleaf Academy's answer to this trope--she's quite mean to Nanami ([[SmittenTeenageGirl thinking that she's also infatuated with Flik]]), is very self-assured, and does tease the hero's party with her ghost stories, but she's a nice girl at heart who'll step up to defend her mayor from Highlanders [[ImprobableWeaponUser with a bookbag]]. [[LittleMissBadass She also has really good stats and a killer unite attack with Flik]].
260* Jess from ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' is a homecoming queen who looks the part of a queen bee from a teen movie, and is introduced tittering over having set up a PrankDate that results in [[spoiler: the deaths of two of her friend circle]] because "she deserves it" in the prologue. She's also playful, goofy, and upbeat (for as long as anyone can be) in the main game, and will always express stress and regret over the events of the prologue.
261* It's implied that Sylvanas Windrunner from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' was like this back when she was alive, as while she was very vain and felt the need to be the best at everything, she took her duty as Ranger General seriously and in a flashback, she is seen [[PetTheDog rescuing a woman and child from Arthas' undead army]].
262[[/folder]]
263
264[[folder:Visual Novels]]
265* Sasasegawa Sasami from ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' is beautiful, popular, smart, and the captain and star player of the girls' softball team. She also has minions who follow her everywhere and a great tendency for gloating. She ''also'' happens to genuinely respect Rin as her rival, considers it important to take responsibility for the negative actions of her underclassmen, and [[spoiler:even ends up joining the Little Busters to fill in for Rin in her route]].
266* Mira Kagami in ''[[VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial Tokimeki Memorial 1]]'' when [[spoiler:you get to see her HiddenDepths (dead father, painful rejections, poverty)]]. Accentuated in the various tie-in Radio Drama, {{O|riginalVideoAnimation}}VA, and spin-off games, which flesh out her character further.
267[[/folder]]
268
269[[folder:Web Animation]]
270* ''WebAnimation/BattleForDreamIsland'': Pencil is the leader of her girl-only alliance and acts like a stereotypical ValleyGirl, but beneath her mildly bossy attitude and seeming ineptitude at running her alliance, she's a kind and caring person deep down who always wants what's best for her friends. ...At least, for the first three seasons. Come [[WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI Season 4]], and she's {{flanderiz|ation}}ed into being a stock AlphaBitch with almost [[HateSink no redeeming qualities]].
271* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'': Trisha Cappelletti may side with the main AlphaBitch cheerleaders, but she's a NiceGirl, a GeniusDitz, and their (the rest of the cheerleaders) MoralityPet.
272* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Weiss Schnee, TheLancer of Team RWBY. She starts out as an insufferable AcademicAlphaBitch (without the "lovable" part), but Ruby makes multiple attempts to become her friend. After learning some important life lessons (such as making friends and dialing down her FantasticRacism), combined with DefrostingIceQueen, she's extremely supportive in combat and slowly improving her sociability throughout the series.
273[[/folder]]
274
275[[folder:Webcomics]]
276* Chrys'tel Vel'Sharen of ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' starts the series as a straight AlphaBitch, but she's quickly shown to defend her roommate [[ShrinkingViolet Faen]] from being tormented by the other girls. Later on, she begins to question what's going on in her own family and actually becomes [[spoiler:TheMole to her aunt]].
277* In ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'', this'd be Layla Delacroix. She's the most popular girl at [[AllGhoulsSchool Charybdis Heights]] and she's hot enough that EvenTheGirlsWantHer. But she's still regarded as an IceQueen, by some of the students, due to her aloofness and her snarky nature. Yet, Layla's been shown to be fairly responsible and even helps organize activities at the school, as seen in the ''"Kissing Booth"'' bonus story in the print edition of vol.1. Nor is she the type to hold grudges...unless the other girl's name is [[TheRival Melissa]] Hellrune.
278* Zulenna in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' was at first a complete SpoiledBrat who looked down on Agatha (but wasn't that popular). When it was revealed that Agatha was a Heterodyne, Zulenna paid her as much respect as she despised her earlier, and even [[spoiler:gave her life to slow the soldiers pursuing Agatha]].
279* Diane from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' seems to be turning into one, being [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-12-08 manipulative]] and snarky but genuinely caring about her GirlPosse and [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=883 showing concern for the protagonists]]. She also undergoes some CharacterDevelopment due to her pursuit of Elliot: she starts out [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2013-03-01 seeing him just as "practice"]] and [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1591 wanting him to buy her stuff]], but in the course of [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1611 learning about him from afar]], she [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1631 seems to develop]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1634 genuine feelings for him]].
280* ''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.
281* Penny of ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'' appears at the beginning of the comic to be a straight-up AlphaBitch, and indeed Aggie and certain other characters see her that way for much of the series. However, while Penny is materialistic and often snobby, she's also genuinely ethical and compassionate. She even admits to Aggie, when they bury the hatchet and become friends, that "I don't really need the perfect shoes. It's just fun to pretend I do."
282* Emily Caston from ''{{Webcomic/Rain|2010}}''. She initially comes across as a typical AlphaBitch who's concerned with having "the perfect year" and graduating valedictorian. However, after Rain gets to know her, she makes it clear that behavior is just a façade. In truth, Emily describes herself as awkward and antisocial, suffers from extreme ParentalNeglect, and is very knowledgeable on the subject of romantic and sexual orientations. She also trusts Rain with the secret that she's [[spoiler:pregnant with her (much older) ex-boyfriend's child, who she's going to keep]], and also becomes the first person to whom Rain directly comes out as being transgender. The two of them become close friends and even call each other sisters, [[spoiler:at least until Rain finally admits she has a crush on her and the two become an OfficialCouple]].
283* ''WebComic/SandraAndWoo'' has Zoey and Michelle who, though they start out as ''very'' straight {{Alpha Bitch}}es, eventually become this around the time it's revealed that Zoey is very much ''not'' a [[ComingOutStory "straight"]] example and Michelle has to grow as a person in order to preserve their friendship. During this event, Zoey and Larisa come to the agreement that "maybe we should stop doing horrible things to each other" and Michelle begins using her Alpha Bitch position for good causes, like convincing Landon Hill's overtly strict, religious mother that Larisa, even if she ''is'' [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior a succubus that'll give birth to the antichrist]] as Mrs. Hill suspects, is still the only thing keeping Landon from becoming gay, so she should just let them keep dating.
284* Montana from season 3 of ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters''. She starts out asking to be voted out first because she doesn't actually care about the game and just wants to lounge in Ponderosa, but when one of her tribemates gets sick, she agrees to not be voted out so that her ill tribemate can leave the game instead and is soon after motivated by Isaac's sexist comments to stay in the game to duel with him. She also responds to a tribal switch by making bitchy comments about her new tribemates but quickly befriends gay outcast N who notes that she's actually pretty nice for someone who constantly proclaims herself a bitch.
285[[/folder]]
286
287[[folder:Web Original]]
288* Aki of ''Literature/SailorNothing'' has shades of this. Even before her BreakTheHaughty chapter, she is [[LoserFriendPuzzlesOutsiders (secretly) friends with Himei, the class loser]]. She later considers her "breaking" to be the best thing that ever happened to her, as it freed her from the shallow pursuit of popularity.
289* ''Literature/{{Worm}}'': [[VillainProtagonist Tattletale]] is explicitly beautiful and has [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] ([[AwesomenessByAnalysis through knowing or being able to figure out just about everything]]) as a superpower. However, despite her bitchy tendencies towards the world at large, she lacks any [[GirlPosse crowd]] to be "in" with and is a loyal friend to [[SociallyAwkwardHero Tay]][[TheFettered lor]] from their first meeting. [[spoiler:What little is known of her [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]] would suggest that she probably used to be this played straight, given her honest concern about her [[DrivenToSuicide brother]] and her constant beating herself up for not seeing the signs of his impending suicide. She certainly isn't the self-centered kind of bitchy, given how she ran away when her father attempted to use her power for incredibly selfish ends]]. Whether Tattletale is lovable or not seems to depend on the viewpoint character. She's certainly an excellent friend to Taylor, but in ''Literature/{{Ward}}'', where Victoria (Glory Girl) is the protagonist, Tattletale is much more malevolent and generally an asshole. She has no reason to be nice to Victoria, and Victoria hates her guts due to her role in what happened between Victoria and Amy. Taylor's perception is colored by Tattletale's kinder side towards her, but Victoria's perception is colored by witnessing the nastier side of Tattletale that was never directed at Taylor.
290[[/folder]]
291
292[[folder:Web Serial Novel]]
293* Literature/ATestOfFayth has Flora Warren. She's manipulative, beautiful, popular and extremely bitchy at times. Despite this, she does seem to care for Fayth and be supportive of her, even if it seems like she doesn't always get it. Her lovability can come into question when you consider some of the awful acts she has committed, however.
294[[/folder]]
295
296[[folder:Web Video]]
297* ''WebVideo/TheVeronicaExclusive'': Veronica, after joining the school's GirlPosse, becomes popular, and is prone to snarkiness, being judgmental, having a bit of a vengeful streak, and sometimes being downright mean. Despite this, she does still genuinely care about her uncool best friend Martha and openly dates Jane, despite Jane being a complete outcast. ([[SerialKiller Though Jane is an outcast]] [[CuteAndPsycho for good reason]]...)
298* ''WebVideo/YouthAndConsequences'': Farrah, being TheLeader of her own GirlPosse and one of the most popular and influential students in school, with Hurley as her Lovable BetaBitch.
299[[/folder]]
300
301[[folder:Western Animation]]
302* ''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. She also has a crush on Jimmy, which she adamantly refuses to admit.
303* Angelica Pickles from ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'', especially when compared to straight-up Alpha Bitch Savannah.
304* Tami from ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'' on numerous occasions. She even becomes the spies' friend for good and for real (albeit of the [[VitriolicBestBuds vitriolic variety]]) in the [[NoExportForYou unaired-in-the-US]] GrandFinale.
305* 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.]]
306* Muffy Crosswire from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', who is SpoiledSweet and gets along with everyone in spite of her flightiness.
307* Courtney Gripling from ''WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger''. She may have a somewhat... anthropological approach to the world outside her sphere, but she really does have a kind heart. Her best friend Miranda Kilgallen is closer to the more typical AlphaBitch but even she softens as the series goes on.
308* Chelsea Cunningham from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''. She sees no contradiction between being best friends with SpoiledSweet Dana Tan, hanging out with her ex-con boyfriend and his geeky friend, and dating JerkJock Nelson Nash.
309* Harmony Bear in ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsWelcomeToCareALot'' has a diva attitude, being bossy, perfectionist, and presumptuous, bragging constantly that has the best voice about all Care-a-Lot, however she clearly cares about the children and the other bears, she is kind to them and is always willing to help, even with those who tend to be more problematic.
310* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' minor character Michelle Norwegiano is one of these. While she can be stuck-up at times (Rudy even refers to her as "a total snob" when a misunderstanding causes him to think he and Penny weren't invited to her party in "Poison Pen Letter"), she's also been shown to be pretty friendly with Rudy (and presumably Penny--she's at both of her parties shown in the series but they don't have any real interaction).
311* Jetta from the ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' animated series. Her dog, Machiavelli, is a male example.
312* Sissi of ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', especially in Seasons 2 and 4 when [[DependingOnTheWriter there were a lot more episodes with her written that way]], though she had a few moments in the first season as well. Much of her setbacks to being a just plain Alpha Bitch were due to the literal ResetButton the show regularly uses, and being a just plain Alpha Bitch to start with was because of a stupid misunderstanding between the heroes and her back in the prequel episodes. In the series finale, her status as one finally sticks when the heroes make her a part of their group.
313* ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'':
314** Quinn Morgendorffer, in contrast to the nastier Alpha Bitch, Quinn's "[[WithFriendsLikeThese friend]]" Sandi Griffin. They often come to odds because Sandi's [[SmugSnake consciously grasping at power]], whereas Quinn's more than content with [[ItsAllAboutme all the attention she gets]]. In the show's GrandFinale, Sandi seems to change her ways (mostly) and become one of these too.
315** [[DumbBlonde Brittany Taylor]] and the other cheerleaders have shades of this, while most of the male characters are {{Lovable Jock}}s. All tend to fall into InnocentlyInsensitive around the less-cool, though.
316* Beebe Bluff from ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''. While she can be a bit snobby, she's genuinely friendly to Patti, Doug, Connie, and the rest of the main characters.
317* Stephanie Knightleigh in ''WesternAnimation/EdgarAndEllen'' occasionally falls into this, either being nice toward her little brother, helpful toward her [[VillainProtagonist equally jerkish adversaries]], or surprisingly badass in her scuffles with them that even they respect her for it. This is a contrast to the book series the show is loosely based on, where the twins [[TookALevelInKindness gradually become better people]] (despite all their attempts to resist this) while Stephanie is gradually revealed as a [[TheSociopath sociopath]] with little in the way of redeeming traits.
318* [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on the episode]], Trixie Tang of ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' can be one of these or just a straight-up AlphaBitch.
319* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}'': Head cheerleader Cheri Shotwell is a shallow girl involved in lots of school activities, but she is generally polite and helpful to Fillmore and Ingrid. She also congratulates a classmate over his petition to save his family's shop from being condemned in "The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes" and shows horror when someone destroys the petition.
320* Shellsea from ''WesternAnimation/FishHooks''. Although she tends to find Milo and Oscar ridiculous, she's also Bea's best friend.
321* Andrea Davenport from ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' is an extremely popular AlphaBitch who in her debut in "First Day Frights" easily turns the whole student body against Molly. However, she doesn't antagonize her after that and usually minds her own business, getting nicer with each appearance. Finally, she [[spoiler:learns about Molly being homeless, immediately mobilizes all of Brighton to help, and publicly declares Molly to be her best friend]].
322* Contrary to all expectations, the "one-dimensional bleach-blonde valley girl stereotype" Pacifica Northwest from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' ends up becoming this in the second season, with both Mabel and Dipper bringing out her better side on separate occasions, especially with the revelation of her [[spoiler:rather [[AbusiveParents disturbing]] FreudianExcuse]].
323* Rhonda Wellington Lloyd from ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', despite engaging in typical AlphaBitch activities, 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.
324%%* Kendall in ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil''.
325* Lori Loud from ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' is a high school senior with a condescending and selfish attitude who still loves her family and will do the right thing, even if it requires being humiliated by her siblings to open her eyes occasionally.
326* Played with in ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' with [[Characters/MiraculousLadybugChloeBourgeois Chloé 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.
327* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
328** [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicRarity 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]]).
329** In later seasons, [[spoiler: Babs Seed]], and eventually [[spoiler: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon]] are revealed to be this, and each time their excessive brattiness comes from serious personal insecurities. [[note]] [[spoiler: Babs Seed was bullied for being a Blank Flank, and Diamond Tiara was raised by her over-elitist mother to be perfect to the point of social awkwardness. Silver Spoon has no excuse rather than following Diamond Tiara as her BetaBitch, but is also the first of the two who comes to reason.]] [[/note]]
330* The one Debbie in ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs'' who gets her face all temporarily mutilated. [[WeWantOurJerkBack Much to the chagrin of the outcast group]], as she becomes as clingy with ''them'' as she was with the Debbies.
331* Elodie from ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' was introduced as an ex-close friend of ActionGirl Enid. Elodie seemingly turned against Enid after the two friends battled for acceptance into the prestigious P.O.I.N.T. Prep, leaving Enid with [[FreudianExcuse major trust issues]]. However, when Enid manages to also be accepted into P.O.I.N.T. Prep, Elodie admits that [[MyGreatestFailure she regrets breaking off their friendship]], and the two make up. After that, Elodie still has her {{Jerkass}} moments (such as [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech talking down to K.O.]] for even ''suggesting'' that he could get into P.O.I.N.T. Prep), but does ultimately help reveal [[spoiler: Chip Damage's secret power orb-pumping scheme]], and chooses to stay at the school because she still believes in the morals it was founded on.
332* AcademicAlphaBitch [[Characters/TheOwlHouseAmityBlight 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.
333* Trinket St. Blair from ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn''. She is condescending and spoiled, but she really doesn’t mean any harm and has good intentions.
334* Ashley A from ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' could count. When she is kicked out of the clique, she befriends Gretchen, and during the Little Miss Blush beauty pageant, she secretly congratulates Spinelli. She has also asked the gang for help on other occasions and is seen talking to the less popular kids on the playground like The Diggers. Sometimes, the other three Ashleys can also be convinced to be nice and do good, like in "The Great Can Drive" and "League of Randalls".
335* Cassandra in ''[[WesternAnimation/SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries Sabrina's Secret Life]]''. She started as the witchy replacement of AlphaBitch Gem Stone. But, as the series progresses, she became more kind-hearted, and by the end, she and Sabrina are officially good friends.
336* Amber from ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' was originally a genuine AlphaBitch and a RoyalBrat in the {{Pilot}}, but quickly warmed up to Sofia and becomes this trope.
337* [[DefrostingIceQueen Liz]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' becomes this via CharacterDevelopment, going from stuck-up in the second episode to eventually dating dorky Peter. [[FieryRedhead Mary Jane]] also may count, as she interacts easily with both the popular and geeky kids, while Glory also has at least some hints of this, quickly bonding with Harry for a time.
338* ''WesternAnimation/SpiritRidingFree'':
339** Maricella starts out as a classic jerk, but in "Lucky and the Deadly Blizzard," she demonstrates a more vulnerable side and is ultimately fond enough of Lucky to ring the town's church bell for who knows how long in order to guide Lucky through a blizzard when normally she eschews manual labor. Although Maricella still seems awkward about being worried about Lucky, whom she generally dislikes, she does hug Lucky and accepts a hug from her in turn.
340** Bebe Schumann from the spinoffs is a downplayed example. Though she's initially more antagonistic to the [=PALs=] than Maricella was, she was eventually shown to be more sympathetic in ''The Palomino Family Affair'', which introduced her father, Sergeant Jack Schumann, who is comparatively more cold toward her than Lucky's father, and it is made clear that her [[ThePerfectionist perfectionist]] tendencies throughout the show are a result of trying to live up to her father's high expectations. Although he eventually learns to cool it down by the end of the episode, Bebe still retains her AcademicAlphaBitch personality.
341* Flying Princess Pony Head from ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' can be jealous, manipulative, and selfish but is still for the most part a genuinely good friend.
342* On ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', the "cool kids" are Buck, Jenny, and Sour Cream. They're all extremely nice and have no problem hanging out with [[AllLovingHero Steven]], despite him being [[KidHero several years younger than them]].
343-->'''Steven:''' Oh, but I--I don't have anything against squares. [[LiteralMinded I like all basic shapes]].
344-->'''Buck Dewey:''' ''(Chuckles)'' Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You got that much-needed counterpart to our cynical worldview. You have to come.
345* Lo from ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' technically ''should'' be the Alpha Bitch, given her "pedigree". She's a spoiled, gorgeous, manipulative, rich girl with a spray-on tan ...however, she's also friendly and loyal, downright ''[[SpoiledSweet sweet]]'' even, and loves her friends.
346* Kimmy in ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'' becomes one as the show progresses due to her relationship with Octus.
347* Male example: Gordon from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends''.
348* Clover from ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', in contrast to Mandy, who was more of a classic AlphaBitch. While Clover can be kind of rude, snobby, and conceited, she understands the importance of friendship and teamwork, unlike Mandy. Mandy has been shown to have a nicer side to her personality--unfortunately, it never lasts long and she pretty much always goes back to being mean again if she's provoked in some way.
