| 17 | ->''"I never liked that people took her for bisexual because she's an evil character. There are so few gay characters on TV, and we really don't need an evil one."'' |
| 18 | -->-- '''Creator/NanaVisitor''' (on her character Kira's {{mirror universe}} counterpart), ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The DistaffCounterpart of the DepravedHomosexual and very much ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: a lesbian woman who is portrayed as [[AxCrazy mentally unstable]], villainous or otherwise dangerous ''because'' she's a lesbian. She will often be portrayed as covetous of other women and [[DoesNotLikeMen irrationally hateful towards the male gender]], if only because they are taking away too many potential mates. Often a ChildHater too, unless AllLesbiansWantKids (uncommon for this character trope). |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Very often motivated by [[WomanScorned an unrequited love]] for a [[IncompatibleOrientation straight woman]] that she wants to herself, which can result in [[MurderTheHypotenuse assassinating the competition]], sometimes even [[UnbalancedByRivalsKid getting rid of her desired lover's kids]]. Such a character often doesn't check consent nor the feelings of the woman she's after, all that she wants is that woman to love and desire her back. The more benign versions might stop at [[StalkerWithACrush stalking their beloved]], but most examples are more a case of IfICantHaveYou. Extreme cases are downright predatory in their pursuits, but it's rare sub-type. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | This trope carries uncomfortable subtext: [[MoralMyopia go straight or go crazy]]. Or ''at least'' [[UnfortunateImplications have the decency of being bisexual]] so the male audience [[GirlOnGirlIsHot can have something they can enjoy watching.]] For years, a cocktail of censorship and bigotry rendered all lesbian characters on screen exclusively "crazy" and villainous. MediaNotes/TheHaysCode-era requirements that "deviant" characters (and that included all gay characters of any gender) must not be made sympathetic or rewarded meant that such characters [[BuryYourGays would almost inevitably be toast]] before the final credits rolled -- and this convention has persisted long after the demise of the Code itself. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | All that said, [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools lesbian characters have as much right to be as messed up as anybody else]]. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | The Psycho Lesbian will often be a villainess for a HideYourLesbians couple; two women who care for each other but don't actually say it out loud. See also its SisterTrope, the LesbianVampire with the added benefit of being ''inherently'' evil and irredeemable. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | See also EvilDesiresInnocence. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | See DepravedHomosexual for the male equivalent, or DepravedBisexual when they're like this toward men too. See HeteronormativeCrusader for when another character considers a lesbian to be psycho simply for being lesbian. See also LoveMakesYouEvil, LoveMakesYouCrazy, and {{Yandere}} for more general tropes that are closely related. See StrawFeminist if she's simply a lesbian who ''[[DoesNotLikeMen hates]]'' men. Contrast DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale. |

| 36 | !!Examples: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 39 | |
| 40 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 41 | * Nami in ''Aki Sora''. She starts out with a MatchmakerCrush involving her best friend Kana and her brother Sora, but after the date she set them up on went far beyond her expectations, she [[spoiler:confronts Sora that evening, shoves him down, stops just shy of cutting off his penis with some scissors ("Hey... can I have this?"), rapes him while fantasizing that she has a penis and is having sex with Kana, and threatens afterward to cut his penis off for real if he ever tells anyone]]. |
| 42 | * 'Cockroach' Oki of ''Manga/{{Arachnid}}'' is an interesting case - her psychotic crush on the main character, Alice, actually makes her ''less'' dangerous, and soon results in a HeelFaceTurn. Subsequently, she's still a Psycho Lesbian, but also one of Alice's only friends and most useful allies, thanks to her total lack of ulterior motives beyond getting into our heroine's pants. |
| 43 | * Miharu from ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'' is crazily in love with Minami. Her solution to anyone who happens to get between her and Minami is to try to MurderTheHypotenuse. |
| 44 | * {{Double subver|sion}}ted with Suruga from ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', who is dangerously in love with Hitagi. She is actually a perfectly pleasant person, even to Koyomi, her crush's boyfriend. But she unconsciously wishes that Koyomi would disappear, and when the sun goes down her demonic hand takes control over her and tries to grant her wish, which means trying to beat Koyomi to death twice. There's also the fact that she starts stalking Koyomi after he hooks up with Hitagi. But then there are all the [[ShipTease teasy]] moments with Koyomi and... well, nobody really knows anymore. |
| 45 | * Reimi from ''Manga/BambooBlade'' has {{stalk|erWithACrush}}ed Miyako from the shadows ever since the latter had [[CuteAndPsycho brutally]] rebuffed the advances of the former's crush in middle school (though the two attend different high schools). It soon emerges that, rather than wanting revenge on the boy's behalf, Reimi had become enamoured with how cool Miyako looked; she even has {{nosebleed}}s when she recalls the incident. However, she's not exactly the most subtle of stalkers; during a kendo sparring session between the two schools, Reimi walks right into the dojo, claiming to be in the photography club, and spends the whole time taking pictures of the weary Miyako. |
| 46 | * ''Literature/BenTo'': Ume Shiraume worships Oshiroi. She fantasizes about her, [[StalkerWithACrush kidnaps her]] frequently, [[ClingyJealousGirl beats anyone]] who even thinks about taking a glance at her, and has even gone so far as to try to [[AttemptedRape have her]] [[BlackComedyRape way with her]], who's shown to clearly be uncomfortable. |
| 47 | * In ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' Revy '''threatens''' to become this to Jane when the latter shows attraction to Rock as Revy recalls her time in women's prison saying "''I've won over some sex-starved dykes by playing the man's role. And after that, their fingers just weren't enough for them ever again.''" Jane was sufficiently freaked out. |
| 48 | * Kagari from ''Anime/BlackRockShooter''. A pure example for the first two episodes of the series, with her possessive crush on Yomi Takanashi. |
| 49 | * Played for laughs with Chizuru Honshou of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Two words: [[Funny/{{Bleach}} "Karakura Raizer!"]] She is very disturbed in many ways which is best depicted when she asks what a little girl's cup size is. |
| 50 | ** Soi-Fon also displays instances of this whenever Yorouichi is brought up. It's to the point where she's only seen being genuinely nice to Yorouichi or anyone related to her. The "psycho" is primarily directed at [[GreenEyedMonster Urahara]] and PlayedForLaughs when he's not involved. |
| 51 | * [[spoiler:Urushira]] from ''Bondage Fairies Extreme''. There's [[SplitPersonality more]] [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend to her]] than that, though. |
| 52 | * Liang Qi in ''Anime/{{Canaan}}'' is [[{{Yandere}} psychotically devoted]] to her adoptive "nee-sama" [[BigBad Alphard]], and those who try to get in the way of the two of them being together tend to meet with her full AxCrazy wrath. |
| 53 | * Shirai Kuroko from ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' and ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun''. However, unlike most examples, Kuroko is a ''heroic'' example of this character type; when she isn't stalking/fondling/trying to seduce "Mikoto-{{oneesama}}", she's otherwise the most [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure serious and by-the-books member of the disciplinary committee]]. |
| 54 | * [[TheOphelia Ophelia]] from ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' shows heavy signs of this thanks to her CombatSadomasochist tendencies. Roxanne even more so, with her habit of crushing on more powerful Claymores, [[IJustWantToBeYou copying their appearances]] and [[PowerCopying special techniques]], and then sadistically arranging their deaths. |
| 55 | * Nina Einstein of ''Anime/CodeGeass'', the cast's resident {{meganekko}} and [[TheScrappy racist]] who instantly falls head over heels in love with Eupehemia [[RescueRomance after her life is saved by the princess]], so much so that she [[CargoShip masturbates to pictures of Euphie using the edge of a table]]. After [[spoiler: Euphemia's death]], the girl '''[[{{Yandere}} really]]''' [[{{Yandere}} becomes unhinged]], enough to [[spoiler:try to destroy Tokyo with a [[FantasticNuke Sakuradite-bomb]] to kill Euphemia's killer, Zero and]] let [[EvilMentor Prince Schneizel]] [[MoreThanMindControl recruit and manipulate her]] into becoming a part of a research project that creates a nuclear weapon to wipe the Japanese race from existence. [[spoiler: She [[CharacterDevelopment gets over]] her madness ''and'' her racism, though. Not that the UnpleasableFanbase (or at least a part of it) acknowledges it. And not before having ''another'' FreakOut as she saw [[SphereOfDestruction what her bomb]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kOUZLaxzjE can do]]...]] Part of the reason is she makes some of the most disturbing [[http://i45.tinypic.com/21jng3s.jpg facial expressions ever...of all time]] |
| 56 | * ''Anime/CrossAnge'': Zola literally had her own harem and she approaches [[TheHeroine Ange]] very forcibly, despite Ange making it perfectly clear that she doesn't want it. |
| 57 | * Subverted to a point in ''Manga/CynthiaTheMission''. BigBad Cybele Rou is a cruel, evil sociopath who has a tendency for cutesiness and being generally cheery and nice when she's not killing. She's also a lesbian, but there's nothing psycho about it. |
| 58 | ** Also a subversion from the same manga; Takaya Kanae is a sweet, kind, gentle schoolgirl who has kissed more than a few girls in her day. Not psycho at all by any means... until you get to her alternate personality, Shii, who is a psychotic, evil man who will do anything to protect the innocent Takaya, while leaving her mostly unaware of his protection. |
| 59 | * The second season of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' has Mina Hazuki. She's a Contractor who DoesNotLikeMen and [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace shows absolutely no respect]] for the personal space of her female teammates, who she constantly hits on. The "psycho" comes from a combination of the usual Contractor LackOfEmpathy and a StalkerWithACrush attitude towards Kirihara. |
| 60 | ** Actually, even though she's extremely forward at first, she takes being rejected by Kirihara [[TheStoic fairly]] [[EmotionlessGirl well]], all things considered. [[spoiler: It's after Youko is brutally murdered, seemingly by Hei, that [[TranquilFury things]] [[ItsPersonal get]] [[LetsGetDangerous dangerous]].]] |
| 61 | * Chikane Himemiya in the ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' manga. [[spoiler: It later gets subverted when it's [[BatmanGambit revealed to be an act to fool the Orochi]] so she can destroy his support from within and manipulate Himeko to kill her, so they can activate the sacrificial ritual to save the world [[RetGone without removing her beloved Himeko from existence]]. The 'Psycho' part was a deliberate act (even though many would think it was inherent in her), but she ''is'' a lesbian.]] |
| 62 | * Lan Asuka from ''Manga/DevilmanLady'' is an AntiHero version, who discovers and largely manipulates the lead character Jun Fudou, seems to be attracted to her, or at least her superpowers. She still tries to help Jun in her own way, nonetheless. In the [[Anime/DevilmanLady anime]], [[spoiler:however, she is [[AdaptationalVillainy much more psycho]], given that she wants to [[GodhoodSeeker become a god]] and ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapes]]'' Jun near the end]]. |
| 63 | * Fatora and Alielle of the original OAV version of ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' are extremely promiscuous lesbians who are constantly attempting to seduce, or outright molest, other women they find attractive, and will not take no for an answer, even if the objects of their "affection" protest about being heterosexual. Fatora is particularly psychotic about it, especially in the sequel series ''El Hazard 2'', where she outright tries to trick Shayla-Shayla into having sex with her by playing on the fact that [[DudeLooksLikeALady Makoto, the boy Shayla-Shayla likes, resembles her so strongly]]. |
| 64 | * ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'': A LovePotion in season 3 episode 6 turns most of the girls into one of these. Also, Janette based on subtext. In the opening for the fourth season there's a part where Janette hugs a struggling Louise close and [[LecherousLicking licks her face]]. And in episode 2 of the fourth season, Janette licks Louise on the face again and practically flirts with her calling her "cute and innocent" after slashing her with a poisoned knife. |
| 65 | * Chiffon Fairchild from ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'', especially in the {{Spinoff}} Manga ''Freezing: First Chronicle''. To wit, in the first half of the manga: she strips her roommate Ticy and [[SkinshipGrope playfully gropes her breasts]]. It's implied a little later that they went further. In the second half: [[spoiler: She [[CurbStompBattle slaughters]] 50 of her classmates ([[GoodThingYouCanHeal no actual ''deaths'']] but arms and legs fly left and right, nonetheless). The whole time she was muttering about wanting to 'destroy everything' and she is just a muscle reaction away from ''[[KilledOffForReal killing]]'' the 2nd ranked Pandora of her year before Ticy stops her with an [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight "I Know You're In There Somewhere" Speech]]. All this with a [[PsychoticSmirk smile]] on her face.]] Oh, and her nickname is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Monster of West Genetics]]. |
| 66 | * [[spoiler:Yui Hongo]] from ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' is speculated to be one of these for [[spoiler: Miaka Yuuki]]. |
| 67 | --> "I couldn't find a place between you and [[spoiler: Tamahome]]!" |
| 68 | * Mao Nonosaka from ''Manga/FutureDiary''. [[spoiler: She helps Hinata in her scheme to kill Akise, despite the fact that Hinata was only doing it to gain her father's approval. After Hinata apologizes for taking advantage of Mao's feelings, she actually tries to kill Yukiteru. Hinata herself doesn't really snap until Yuno stabs Mao.]] |
| 69 | * ''Anime/GaikingLegendOfDaikuMaryu'' has [[spoiler: Proist, the BigBad, and the only character in the show who could probably be called more evil than simply self-serving or misguided]]. She's only shown to have affection for her father and for Vestaanu. She is also completely unpredictable, casually [[AMillionIsAStatistic executing thousands who don't live up to her standards]], and can and will [[HairTriggerTemper fly into a rage at the slightest provocation]]. |
| 70 | * Rio in ''Gamerz Heaven'' doesn't seem to have any sanity whatsoever when it comes to Kyouko. |
| 71 | * From ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFINAL'' we have one of the 11 Soul Masters, Pillnus. She takes a special...interest in [[ActionGirl Renais/Renee]], loving beating her in combat and putting her into...compromising positions. It's even implied she ''raped'' her. |
| 72 | * ''Manga/GirlsBravo'': |
| 73 | ** Kosame's lust for Kirie is played up [[GirlOnGirlIsHot for fanservice]] and [[BlackComedyRape as comedy]]. Particularly during the "[[CatFight Girls Fight]]!" [[TournamentArc competition]] and a later episode where she chases Kiriei around the house, while calling her [[BigSisterAttraction "big sister".]] |
| 74 | ** The anime has [[spoiler:Hijiri, the kids' teacher]], who turns out to be working for the BigBad Yukina and after fighting Kirie develops a similar attitude towards her. Before that, it's mentioned that Hijiri had been obsessed with Miharu since childhood. |
| 75 | * Goldie Musou from ''Manga/GunsmithCats''. She's a drug-dealing Mafia boss whose AmazonChaser fetishes leads her attempting to abduct and brainwash Rally Vincent, and then succeeding in doing so to Misty, with heavy hints that she raped Misty after brainwashing her into loving her. [[spoiler: What irritates many fans is that Goldie ends up as a KarmaHoudini; not only does VetinariJobSecurity ensure she remains the local Mafia boss, but she also gets to ''keep'' an arguably still-brainwashed Misty as her lover in her own "happily ever after".]] |
| 76 | * The main character of ''Manga/GushingOverMagicalGirls'', Hiiragi Utena is an odd case as she is normally a very nice if [[ShrinkingViolet meek]] girl. But after becoming a DarkMagicalGirl, she's unlocked a lot of desires toward the MagicalGirl heroines she fights. Namely her desire to tie them up and administer an unhealthy amount of [=BDSM=] love. |
| 77 | * In ''The Disappearance of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', [[spoiler: the Ryoko Asakura of the AlternateUniverse]] ''seems'' to have somewhat Psycho Lesbian tendencies towards [[spoiler: Yuki Nagato. Given to that she's a normal human, yet ''still'' ends up stabbing Kyon to protect Yuki.]] She even waits for her at the school at 4:00 AM. |
| 78 | ** And in the movie adaptation she seems even worse, sprinkling [[spoiler: Yuki]] with blood from her knife as she dances around in front of her... |
| 79 | * The Season 2 premiere episode of ''Anime/HellGirl'' has a cute high school girl being harassed by an unknown person. [[spoiler: By the end of the episode, it's revealed that the seemingly nice school nurse is a sadistic bully with a perverted obsession with the high school girl. She threatens to pour acid of her face if she doesn't give into her. The girl is able to send the nurse to hell.]] |
| 80 | * ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': In the first anime, a LesbianVampire character named Boobanshee/Bubbancy (actually a corruption of a Baobhan sith, pronounced roughly the same way in Japanese) tricks the entire Hellsing organization, save Seras and Alucard, into thinking that she is Integra's sister, Laura (a reference to ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}''). Later, she attempts to drink Integra's blood, and bites and licks her chest after partially undressing her, after which Integra realizes that she has no sister; shortly after Bubbancy is dispatched and Integra refers to her as Countess Karnstein (another ''Carmilla'' reference). She also licks Integra's blood from her hand after stabbing her. |
| 81 | * ''Manga/HybridXHeartMagiasAcademyAtaraxia'': Averted with Aldea. While she's an absolutely sadistic BloodKnight, her deep feelings for Grabel are framed as one of her redeeming qualities and even serve as the first sign that the character isn't as evil as she first seems. |
| 82 | * Rin "Clone" Yatagai towards Nao in episode 11 of ''Manga/IDontLikeYouAtAllBigBrother'' She ends up [[AccidentalKiss accidently]] [[ForcefulKiss kissing Iroha]] and falls in love with her instead, much to Iroha's horror. |
| 83 | * ''Manga/IkkiTousen'': |
| 84 | ** Ryofu Housen skirts this trope, though she can also be seen as a female DepravedBisexual. Not a straight example, as her ''girlfriend'' Chinkyuu is the one who brings up her PetTheDog moments. |
| 85 | ** Kan'u Unchou ''almost'' ended up as one of these, what with [[BodyguardCrush her devotion to Ryuubi]] being [[{{Flanderization}} taken to extremes]] in the third series. She did not, fortunately, as it only happened because she was kind of BrainwashedAndCrazy due to an amulet that goes to extract her deepest desire [[CannotSpitItOut that thus far she managed to hide]]. After the hijinx, her relationship returned normal [[spoiler: and got [[RelationshipUpgrade upgraded]] at the end of the series]]. |
| 86 | * ''Manga/ImaizuminChiWaDouyaraGalNoTamaribaNiNatteruRashiiDeep'': Mari Tsutsumi treats Ruri as her "Queen" and does whatever she asks for in exchange for undisclosed "rewards". She turns out helpful as she spots Keichiro spying on them and also assists in the basketball match after learning how to score. |
| 87 | * ''Manga/KaguyaHime'': Although a bondage-wearer perv, Maggey is nice enough to be mostly harmless (beyond groping of strangers), and Chun-Lan is funny more than anything... but Mayu can get seriously scary. |
| 88 | * In ''Literature/{{Kampfer}}'', [[spoiler:BigBad Kaede Sakura has the hots for the main character's [[AttractiveBentGender female form]] and has [[SplitPersonalityTakeover an evil alter ego]] that gets off on sexually brainwashing women. While the rest of the female cast [[HomoeroticSubtext show some bisexual tendencies]] [[DepravedBisexual and have their crazy sides]], the only 100% gay character is portrayed as the worst]]. |
| 89 | * Nui Harime from ''Anime/KillLaKill'' flirts heavily with both Satsuki and Ryuko in her introduction episode. And then there's episode 21's [[spoiler:illusory threesome with Ragyo and a brainwashed Ryuko]]. Later during that episode, she is shown to [[spoiler:really enjoy a kiss from Ryuko]], after which she mentions that [[spoiler:Ryuko is a better kisser than Ragyo]]. [[spoiler: Justified as the main authority figure/surrogate mother, Ragyo, liked to do... [[ParentalIncest things to her]] so she may have gotten the psycho parts from her.]] |
| 90 | * From ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'', we have Yamai Ren, who develops a crush over Komi, and can't bear to see her with someone else, specifically Tadano, that she [[StalkerWithACrush stalks Komi]] like a typical {{Yandere}}. [[spoiler: In fact, she even calls him trash and kidnaps him in her room along with [[ImpliedDeathThreat threatening to kill him]]. However, Yamai later [[HeelFaceTurn reforms herself]] after Komi finds out about what she has done to Tadano when she is invited to Yamai's house. She also mistook Komi's communication problems for hate and [[DrivenToSuicide tries to kill herself]] at school in front of everybody when Komi still wouldn't use her voice to communicate, though she learns about it not long afterwards]]. |
| 91 | * Kasumi Kisaragi, the vice-president in the 2006 version of ''Anime/KujibikiUnbalance'', especially in the manga adaptation, where she tries to kill Chihiro when a love potion causes her to be attracted to him. |
| 92 | * In ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' episode 8 of second season ''Ren'', a girl pretends to be Mori Summer so that she can molest Dekomori. |
| 93 | * [[DarkActionGirl Rimelda Jorg]] both wants to kill ''Anime/{{Madlax}}'' ([[PoorCommunicationKills admittedly, because of a misunderstanding]]) and shows attraction to her. Contrast with Madlax's other potential love interest, Vanessa, who is a NiceGirl overall. |
| 94 | * ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth II'' has the delightfully bipolar/dementedly schizo and certifiably psychotic Nova, whose switch every few moments from sweet and childish declarations of affection to a raving engine of powerful magical destruction can be a bit jarring. Although the circumstances of her consuming longing for Hikaru and the origin of both her and her madness (Nova is [[spoiler:the physical embodiment of Hikaru's self-loathing after being forced to kill Princess Emeraude in the previous season]]) are rather unique and in her own case most likely constitute use of this trope as a justified one. |
| 95 | * ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'' has Sayara and Laura, the former being a MadScientist who sexually tortures Rin and takes pleasure from it, and the latter being TheDragon to [[BigBad Apos]] who constantly chases Rin around (to kill her and/or do obscene things to her). |
| 96 | * Kuroko Koumori, the main character of ''Manga/{{Murcielago}}''. Interestingly, her being psycho is the main focus, while her being a lesbian is treated as a side note. |
| 97 | * ''Franchise/MyHime'': |
| 98 | ** The results of ''Anime/MyHime'''s WhamEpisode altered many characterizations, including the [[TheOjou kind and serene]] Shizuru who went a bit nuts near the end. |
| 99 | ** ''Anime/MyOtome'' itself had one in [[spoiler:local AlphaBitch Tomoe]]. While most of the Coral Otomes loved Shizuru and looked up to her as a heroic figure, [[spoiler:Tomoe]] was actually ''[[StalkerWithACrush in love]]'' with her, and at one point attempted to kidnap and seduce her (in a decidedly [[{{Squick}} creepy fashion]]). This included telling Shizuru [[ScarpiaUltimatum that Natsuki was a prisoner, but that if Shizuru submitted to her, she would ensure Natsuki was well treated]] [[note]] Natsuki's captivity was a lie, and Shizuru was well aware, but plays along to get the upper hand later[[/note]]. This, coupled with her [[{{Yandere}} mean-spirited attitude]] toward some of the other characters had [[TheScrappy turned fan support against her]], though an attempt at a comedic makeover of her character in ''Zwei'' (similar to the one Shiho received in her transition from ''Anime/MyHime'') tried to soften the blow somewhat. |
| 100 | * Asami Hoshino from ''Anime/MyselfYourself'', who was so in love with Shuri that she ended up causing the very object of her affection to leave. Though not before defending her from an AxCrazy old lady. |
| 101 | %%* ''Manga/NagasareteAirantou'': Mikoto. |
| 102 | * From ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', we have secondary villain Tsukuyomi. She starts as a mere PunchClockVillain with shades of PsychopathicWomanchild and a crush on her ex-sempai Setsuna Sakurazaki, but as time passes, she becomes [[StalkerWithACrush really, *really*, creepily obsessed with Setsuna]]. And also seems to derive sexual pleasure from murder. And it gets more explicit. She's also probably the only villain in the series who's evil with no AntiVillain tendencies or FreudianExcuse for her actions, which just makes her even creepier than most other bad guys. Other lesbians in the series (including Setsuna) are considerably more stable and likable, so it is clear that Tsukuyomi is a psycho who happens to be a lesbian, rather than being psycho because she is a lesbian. |
| 103 | * [[TheDragon Chloe]] of ''Anime/{{Noir}}'' fits this, but only in her final appearance. She met the lesbian criteria the entire time, but she doesn't turn psycho until after Kirika rejects (or more accurately, fails to even notice) her advances, and then acts to protect Mireille from her, causing her to [[VillainousBreakdown snap]]. |
| 104 | * ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' has Cuuko, who has an unrequited crush on Nyarko and has repeatedly expressed her desire to get married and [[HomosexualReproduction have kids]] -- not to mention beginning the series wanting to [[MurderTheHypotenuse kill Nyarko's love interest Mahiro]] (at least until she warms up to him). Of course, the "Psycho" part comes almost entirely from her being Cthuugha the Living Flame, who was depicted in the Franchise/CthulhuMythos as being legitimately insane. |
| 105 | * Implied with Charlotte Smoothie in ''Anime/OnePiece''; her EstablishingCharacterMoment was using her Devil Fruit Power to drain an attractive woman of her body fluids and drinking it. Then, during the Tea Party, Smoothie grabbed Nami while [[LecherousLicking licking her lips]]. Then later, during the same battle, Smoothie chose to grab Reiju while others restrained Luffy and Sanji. |
| 106 | * In ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'' it's implied that Tsubasa stabbed Tabuki out of jealousy once Yuri broke off their affair. |
| 107 | * The already bonkers Sakura from ''Manga/PenguinMusume Heart'' often shows extreme interest in intimate interactions with some of her female classmates and tries to force Kujira into marrying her in an alternate time line. |
| 108 | * ''Manga/PrettyFace'': Nozomi would go to great lengths to get Rando (as Yuna) into her bed. |
| 109 | * ''Franchise/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': |
| 110 | ** [[spoiler:Homura Akemi]] became this at the end of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion''. [[AntiVillain Maybe]]. It depends on which side of the BrokenBase you are. |
| 111 | ** ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'': Kirika Kure wished to be anything that Oriko, the girl she loved, needed. Her wish made her a PsychopathicWomanchild {{Yandere}} due to Oriko's very complicated plan to eventually kill [[spoiler:Madoka before she could turn into Walpurgis Night requiring a magical girl SerialKiller.]] As an irregularity for the trope, Oriko falls in love with Kirika as well and Oriko feels immense guilt over how Kirika's been affected by her plans. |
| 112 | * ''Anime/QueensBlade'': |
| 113 | ** Echidna uses this as part of her mercenary gig, though she is less of the former and more of the latter. |
| 114 | ** The same series also gives us the sociopathically self-centered Elina Vance, who in the first episode goes off on a rant about how she'll torture the man who ends up marrying the woman she loves. Oh, and the woman she loves is [[BrotherSisterIncest her elder sister]]. |
| 115 | ** Zigzagged with Menace. Yeah, she's a lesbian and a huge pervert, so much so that she [[BadBoss basically caused the downfall of her country because she couldn't be bothered to drag herself away from her huge harem of female slaves]]. And yes, she's at least a nominal villain who is working for the series' BigBad so she can rebuild her kingdom. But, she's also quite rational and controlled, if obsessive, and certainly not as outright crazy as is normal for this trope. |
| 116 | * A one shot yuri manga by the name of ''Rapunzel'' has not one, but two of them. [[spoiler:One cuts off the hair of the other in a fit of [[{{Yandere}} jealous rage]], and then the one who had her hair cut [[{{Squick}} cuts out]] [[EyeScream the eyes]] of the other [[DisproportionateRetribution as revenge]]. To top it off, the girl who did the cutting of the hair ''let her eyes be cut out'' '''while smiling'''. At the very end, they're both shown smiling and holding each other's hands in the conclusion. LoveMakesYouCrazy indeed.]] |
| 117 | * Semmerling from ''Anime/RidingBean''. Add to that the fact that she's a shameless pedophile and a ManipulativeBastard (and also displays elements of TheChessmaster), and she's well on her way to fitting every negative stereotype of the screen lesbian. |
| 118 | * ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': |
| 119 | ** Kokoa is utterly obsessed with the vampire side of her half-sister Moka. |
| 120 | ** Akuha of manga season II is revealed to be one of these for [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Moka]]. |
| 121 | * ''Manga/{{Sabagebu}}'': |
| 122 | ** Urara starts off as a possessive yandere towards her club president. After Momoka [[LoveAtFirstPunch beats her up]], she becomes the new target of desire, resulting in a lot of unwanted groping. The final joke of the series is her about to ''[[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnFemale rape]]'' a BoundAndGagged Momoka. |
| 123 | ** In episode 8 the club is challenged by a rival team... who turn out to only want to chase Maya and strip her naked. |
| 124 | * ''Manga/{{Saki}}'': Touka has a rather unhealthy obsession with [[strike:Nodoka]] Nodocchi. |
| 125 | -->"I'm going to lick you all over and savor this delectable favor." |
| 126 | * Uruka from ''Anime/SteelAngelKurumi2'' for Nako. Uruka sees Kurumi as an obstacle to Nako and will try anything to remove Kurumi, even if it means asking her father to call upon the family's private army to take her down. |
| 127 | * ''Manga/{{Tactics}}'': The yuki-onna in the first episode (When she's possessed by an aradama, anyway). |
| 128 | * ''Manga/VenusVersusVirus'': |
| 129 | ** Sumire, in Berserker mode. It's a little bit subtle as she is violent with the Viruses and more sexual (in a rape sort of way) with Lucia, as at one point she says they should "become one." |
| 130 | ** In the anime version, Lucia appears to be this when she [[spoiler:''stakes'' Sumire's boyfriend in front of her.]] Of course, she thought he was dangerous but it's still a bit out there. |
| 131 | * ''Manga/{{Wagnaria}}'': Yachiru Todoroki is obsessed with her boss and ChildhoodFriend, Kyoko. If she believes you are trying to steal Kyoko from her, she will go after you with the katana she wears on her hip. [[spoiler: She gets better when the cook, Satou, confesses his love for her, and she decides to date him instead, showing just as much enthusiasm for him as she did for Kyoko.]] |
| 132 | * Shiori in ''Anime/{{Witchblade}}'', although her PhlebotinumBreakdown may have helped. Then again, she was a bit messed up to begin with. |
| 133 | * ''Manga/WJuliet'': Nomura Tsugumi, Ito's senpai by one year, doesn't make it a secret that she wants "Ito-kun" for herself and can sometimes behave as a Psycho Lesbian for comedy relief. |
| 134 | * ''Anime/YuriKumaArashi'': |
| 135 | ** Mitsuko turns out to be a lot more predatory than she first appeared. |
| 136 | ** Yurika [[spoiler:ate Reia out of possessiveness, jealousy, misplaced anger, and heartbreak. Kureha being the focus and recipients of Reia's love since her birth, combined with her StrongFamilyResemblance to Reia, also drove Yurika half-mad with lust when she attempted to eat her]]. |
| 137 | * ''Manga/ZombieLoan'': The school nurse from the first two episodes and Koyomi's "other" personality Yomi has a definite fondness for groping Michiru's breasts and attempting to molest her. Though they AssPull-ed its way out of this one by saying that [[spoiler:Yomi's spirit is actually that of a boy]]. |

| 139 | |
| 140 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 141 | * The [[GenderFlip Lady Lemongrabs]], from the ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' Fionna and Cake comic book series. The "lesbian" part seems to be incidental, as they're the genderswapped versions of characters who were VERY AmbiguouslyGay and happened to also be clinically insane. |
| 142 | * The version of Wonder Woman that appears in Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'' is at least hinted to be this. Although considering the version of [[JerkAss Batman]] that does the hinting, it could just be him being his usual [[BlatantLies charming]] self. |
| 143 | * Inverted in the case of Victoria Hand in ''ComicBook/DarkReign''. She is a lesbian (or perhaps bisexual) and easily the most sane of all of Norman Osborn's [[LegionOfDoom subordinates]] (Osborn himself included), but that might not be saying too much when everyone else is a PsychoForHire at best and EldritchAbomination at worst. |
| 144 | * Inverted with ComicBook/HarleyQuinn and [[Characters/BatmanPoisonIvy Poison Ivy]] in [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Comics]]. Their relationship with each other is probably the sanest and most humanizing thing either of them has. |
| 145 | * Not the point of the alt comic ''ComicBook/HotheadPaisanHomicidalLesbianTerrorist''; although it may have addressed this trope at times, it's more a spoof of StrawFeminist fears. |
| 146 | * Nearly every major lesbian/bisexual female character in Creator/MarvelComics continuity has been assigned some degree of mental instability. The bisexual [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Skein]], for instance, married an older man and then killed him for his money; [[ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} Man-Killer/Amazon]] used to be a man-hating militant feminist; [[ComicBook/TheOrder2007 Mulholland Black]] went so crazy [[spoiler:that her own teammates put her down]], [[ComicBook/ThePunisher Molly von Richthofen]] turned out to be a {{Yandere}} who would violently assault ''anyone'' who even looked at her openly bisexual partner, etc. Even the ones without criminal pasts have been portrayed as less than fully sane; The ''[[ComicBook/TheLoners Loners]]'' miniseries portrayed bisexual [[ComicBook/PowerPack Lightspeed]] as being the superhero equivalent of a FormerChildStar, with all the attendant mental baggage, while the lesbian [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Karolina Dean]] is bipolar, according to the Marvel Handbooks. |
| 147 | * This is the subtext to Ursula Imada's obsession with Sundra Peale in ''ComicBook/{{Nexus}}''. By the time of Ursula's [[spoiler:death]], it was only just barely subtext. Averted with Jil, who is a lesbian but not at all psycho, and Sundra, who is clearly bi and also not at all psycho. |
| 148 | * ComicBook/{{Purgatori}}, the [[LesbianVampire lesbian vampire demon]] originally created by Brian Pulido as an antagonist for his main {{stripperiffic}} heroine, ComicBook/LadyDeath. She may actually be a DepravedBisexual, having once been Satan's concubine, but all of the (semi-)consensual relationships we've seen have had her with women. |
| 149 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': |
| 150 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Them! is made up of three very heavily queer coded women who chase down a teenager that escaped from them and try to order her to put on a collar and be their "pet", find Diana pretty and want to keep her in bondage too, and kidnapp and sell people. |
| 151 | ** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': Alkyone, who spent centuries as Hippolyta's bodyguard, was harboring a crush she did not intend to act on for her charge and queen the whole time. Her unrequited love turned poisonous to her, and when Hippolyta had a baby Alkyone lost it, decided the baby was a prophesied doom for the Amazons and tried to kill baby Diana in her crib to make everything back the way it had been as she "didn't want anything to change". |
| 152 | * ''ComicBook/YTheLastMan'': The Daughters of the Amazon are frequently branded psycho lesbians by other women (they certainly are psycho, and [[DoesNotLikeMen loathe men]], [[StrawFeminist believing they're the source of all societal ills]]). Subverted in that a) we never see any lesbian behavior among the Amazons and b) discreet lesbianism ([[SitchSexuality especially with]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser male impersonators]]) quickly becomes the norm in a world deprived of men. One of the comic's few openly lesbian characters simply describes the Amazons as "nutters who cut off their norks".[[note]]They're likely "political lesbians" - heterosexual radical feminists who "became lesbians" (by which they often just mean "refuse to have sex with men") for ideological reasons. Many real lesbians don't like them because their stance reinforces the fallacy pushed by homophobes that homosexuality is a choice. Another complaint from quite a few real lesbians who have been in relationships with political lesbians are that political lesbians are often [[LieBackAndThinkOfEngland unenthusiastic about gay sex]], which the comic is probably pointing out (as most aren't actually lesbians, per the normal definition).[[/note]] |
| 153 | [[/folder]] |
| 154 | |
| 155 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 156 | * This is weaponized against Elsa in ''Fanfic/TheAlphabetStory''. Rumors spread that Elsa has a woman as a lover, who she seduced and "turned" lesbian. Elsa's [[AnIcePerson ice powers]] scare enough people that they wonder just what their [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen can actually do]]. The truth is that Elsa ''is'' in a relationship with a woman, but it's a consensual relationship and Elsa's powers are only ice-related. |
| 157 | * Commander Sullamander from ''Fanfic/ABriefHistoryOfEquestria''; the lover of the previous commander (supposedly since she was a foal), Sullamander ruled the Celestine Junta with an iron hoof, executing anyone that spoke out against her and once attempting to ban or severely limit heterosexual unions. At the end of her life, she had gone full crazy and demanded that her soldiers worship her as a god, even as her enemies were already breaking through her forces and on their way to kill her. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Of course, her lesbian tendencies were played up in sources by propaganda or less-learned scholars whose minds were too far in the gutter.]] |
| 158 | * ''Fanfic/DarkestDestiny'': [[WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries Cassandra]], who is the main antagonist/VillainProtagonist, is portrayed as delusional, emotionally-repressed, on the verge on a mental breakdown nearly all the time, and abusive to her ([[QuestionableConsent forced-to-be]]) girlfriend, [[Franchise/{{Tangled}} Rapunzel]]. She's also a murderous, tyrannical dictator who DoesNotLikeMen. She serves as a {{deconstruct|edCharacterArchetype}}ion as well [[DeliberateValuesDissonance due to the social stigma towards homosexuals during the time period]] playing a factor into Cassandra's StartOfDarkness. |
| 159 | * Parodied in ''Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie'': Empress Sue is portrayed as a stereotypical CardCarryingVillain, and one of the ways she "proves" her evilness is by making out with Uhura. |
| 160 | * ''Fanfic/{{Infinity}}'': Amaterasu seems to have focused her, ahem, intentions on Signum. During their battle in Chapter 22, she takes the battle seriously, almost decapitating Signum in her first attack; a few moments later, she tells Signum, "I won't rest until you acknowledge my feelings for you and agree to become my personal kitten!" Signum is not amused. |
| 161 | * ''Fanfic/HeartsAflutter'': Ayano Aishi is madly in love with Taylor Hebert and is [[{{Yandere}} actively killing off anyone]] who dares threaten her or tries to "steal" Taylor from her. |
| 162 | * Subverted in ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn''. [[{{Kayfabe}} Jara]] threatens to beat the crap out of the main character during their upcoming wrestling match if [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] refuses to sleep with her. Kara does, so Jara does. However, it's made clear that Jara's jerkassery has nothing to do with her sexuality and everything to do with her crappy childhood, fear of solitude, and zero social skills. Kara herself doesn't think of her rival as evil but merely an asshole, and later she helps Jara out and makes peace with her when she finds out what kind of life her rival has led. The next time Jara makes an appearance, she's a far more pleasant person who unapologetically likes women. |
| 163 | * Pretty much all of the [[StrawFeminist feminists]] in the ''Fanfic/MRATrilogy'', with special notes going to [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]] (who is in an [[VillainousIncest incestuous]] relationship with her sister Anna, and is referred to as "queen of feminists and lesbo dykes") and [[Franchise/MassEffect Benezia]], the whole purpose of the fanfic in which she debuts being the protagonist trying to seduce her in order to distract her. Ironically, the protagonist is arguably also this, since she has sex with other women (albeit "for the benefit of men") and has severe VillainProtagonist tendencies. |
| 164 | * Subverted with Ryuko Kiryuin in ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection''. Her sexuality doesn't have anything to do with the fact that she's TheCaligula of Honnouji Academy. In addition, she's an OfficialCouple with Mako, and their relationship is depicted as one of her most humanizing qualities, as she will tone down her negative traits just to make Mako happy. |
| 165 | * ''Fanfic/OutOfTheCornerOfTheEye'' has Asenath Waite, a homicidal sociopath in service of the [[Literature/CthulhuMythos Outer Gods]], who just so happens to also be a lesbian on top of all that. |
| 166 | * ''Fanfic/StressRelief'': It is implied that Agent South Dakota is one. While the "psycho" part is clear as day since she's a sadistic PsychopathicWomanchild with a HairTriggerTemper, the "lesbian" part is [[AmbiguouslyGay not as clear]]. She has regularly raped Agent Connecticut for months, but it is still thrown into question whether she is a lesbian or if she just sees C.T. as an easy or convenient target to take out her rage. Once [[spoiler: she is exposed for doing this]], the characters seem to skew towards the latter interpretation. |
| 167 | [[/folder]] |
| 168 | |
| 169 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 170 | * Roxy, Catherine Trammell's girlfriend in ''Film/BasicInstinct''. Paired with ClingyJealousGirl, as she tries to kill Nick, Catherine's other lover, when he refuses to leave Catherine alone as Roxy has ordered him to, and is briefly viewed as one of the suspects in killing the man murdered in the film's opening. |
| 171 | * Nina Sayers from ''Film/BlackSwan'' (2010) seems to be a paranoid schizophrenic, and is as such psycho''tic'', but definitely not psycho''pathic''. She is clearly sexually attracted to Lily, although whether they actually ever have sex, or whether that was Nina's delusion, is difficult to know, as is whether she is violent toward anyone but herself, since [[UnreliableNarrator the story is told from her perspective, making it impossible for the audience to know what is real and what are Nina's delusions]]. She is arguably, then, a notable deconstruction of this trope. |
| 172 | * In the Spanish horror film ''Film/TheBloodSpatteredBride'' (1972), a young bride, uneasy about sex with her husband, encounters LesbianVampire Literature/{{Carmilla}} and is seduced, and together they unleash murderous enmity toward men. |
| 173 | * ''Film/BreakingTheGirls'': Alex and [[spoiler:Nina]]. They are both manipulative and plot murder to get money. One means they use is seducing people while also being involved with each other. |
| 174 | * Eunice from ''Film/ButterflyKiss'' (1996) is very much this trope; the only twist is that the girl she's obsessed with reciprocates her feelings, and they turn into an OutlawCouple that wreak havoc in their wake. |
| 175 | * Harris from ''Film/CampBlood'' (2000) went insane and became a serial killer after catching her girlfriend cheating on her with a man. |
| 176 | * ''Film/TheCelluloidCloset'': It's shown that any women strongly implied to be or explicitly lesbians were almost invariably villains and bent on seducing/assaulting other female characters until the 1960s (not that it stopped then, but some more positive examples started to occur). |
| 177 | * ''Film/Compulsion2013'': Saffron possibly, assuming she's genuinely attracted to Amy, not simply using her. [[spoiler:They have sex, then she asks Amy to kill and eat her (off-screen). Amy agrees.]] |
| 178 | * ''Film/Compulsion2016'': Francesca, who's never shown as attracted to anyone but Sadie, turns out to be involved with [[spoiler:human sacrifices in a sinister cult. She tries to have Sadie kill her ex-boyfriend in one such sacrifice as a sign of her choosing Francesca over him for good. Then she kills him after Sadie refuses to]]. It's {{downplayed|Trope}}, however, as her sexuality isn't portrayed as evil, and Sadie's herself bisexual. |
| 179 | * ''Film/TheConIsOn'': One of the reasons Irina is so keen to find Harry and Peter is that she is love with Harry, and wants to kill Peter and force Harry to return to being her lover. |
| 180 | * Miss G from ''Film/{{Cracks}}'' (2009) definitely fits this trope. From the start of the film is clear somethings not quite right with her and over the course of the film she shows many signs of having some sort of mental disorder. Later in the film, she becomes obsessed with a female student to the point of actually raping her. |
| 181 | * Parodied in ''Film/{{DEBS}}'' (2003). The villainess Lucy Diamond is more than willing to sink the entire continent of Australia in frustration over not being able to form an emotionally satisfying lesbian relationship. Fortunately, she is redeemed by the love of an incredibly hot secret agent in a plaid skirt. Then there was Lucy's blind date Ninotchka, who was clearly not all there and completely lost it when Lucy tried to back out of their date. |
| 182 | * ''Desire'': This 1993 erotic thriller starring Kate Hodge (reviewed by Creator/AllisonPregler) features the [[spoiler: out-of-left-field reveal that the store clerk was the film's killer all along, who was apparently pushed over the edge because her boss Grace had broken up with her. The clerk, up to the finale, had no relevance to the story and appeared to only have been the murderer just to surprise viewers.]] |
| 183 | * ''Film/EndOfWatch'': La La, one of Big Evil's crew members. Aside from her threatening and flirting with female cop Orozzco, and making out with a dancer at a ghetto party, her depravity and sexuality are independent. |
| 184 | * ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce'': Thoroughly mocked. Evelyn seems to think that her daughter Joy only "thinks she's gay" because [[spoiler:Joy is being possessed by Jobu Tupaki. Jobu reacts with utter ''exasperation'' that the main Evelyn is still hung up about it, and Jobu's evil has absolutely nothing to do with her sexuality. She implies that, if she's not gay in every universe, she definitely is in ''many'' of them, but it wasn't being gay that made Alpha Evelyn push her so hard that her mind splintered.]] Ultimately, Evelyn's paranoia [[spoiler:about Jobu is just a symptom of her internalized homophobia, and after her CharacterDevelopment, she realizes that Joy is just a lesbian after accepting she can't and shouldn't control Joy's life.]] |
| 185 | * ''Film/TheEvilThatMenDo'': Claire, who serves as her evil torturer brother's assistant, wholly approving of his work, is revealed as a lesbian when a female prostitute comes to her apartment (they have sex while Holland's hiding underneath the bed). |
| 186 | * There's a downright aggressive and vicious woman at the stereotypical [[WhereEverybodyKnowsYourFlame lesbian bar]] in ''Film/FoxyBrown'' (1974). |
| 187 | * ''Film/FutureWorld2018'': The Drug Lord, a ruthless and unhinged drug trafficker, is attracted to Ash, ordering she be reprogrammed to serve as her lover. Upon finding Ash and Lei together after having sex the previous night, she reacts in a jealous rage, ordering Ash's [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory be wiped of this]]. She's no worse than the male Warlord though who also clearly wanted Ash. Given this and Ash's [[MasculineFeminineGayCouple relationship too with Lei]] (who both are portrayed positively), it's {{downplayed|Trope}}. |
| 188 | * Little Suzie in ''Film/GangOfRoses''. When Left Eye mentions that Flat Ridge has two commodities in short supply in the west -- gold and women -- she is far more excited by the prospect of women than gold. Her first act after the gang takes over the town is to drag a dancer out of the saloon and attempt to rape her in the middle of the street. |
| 189 | * ''Film/GuiltByAssociation'': Ramona, a menacing lesbian inmate, hits on women aggressively whether or not they show any interest. Once she's been punished with solitary for using Susan's commissary card and blames her for it, her girlfriend June then attempts to stab Susan in revenge (of course, it's somewhat to be expected from criminals). |
| 190 | * The breakout picture of Peter Jackson, ''Film/HeavenlyCreatures'', is based on a real-life case of the close friendship of two New Zealand girls that led to murder. Though in real life they denied ever having been in a romantic relationship, the movie explicitly portrays them as lesbians. |
| 191 | %%* [[spoiler:Marie]] from ''Film/HighTension'' (2003). |
| 192 | * In ''Film/HoodedAngels'', Ellie has an intense hatred of men after being raped, and is jealously possessive of her lover, trying to kill anyone who threatens to come between. By the end she is even trying to kill the gang's TeamMom for preventing her from killing a man they were robbing, and would rather both she and Hannah die than be split up. |
| 193 | * Caroline is strongly implied to be this in ''Film/InHerSkin''. Her obsession with Rachel is largely driven by jealousy of Rachel's beauty and popularity, but there's a strong undercurrent of unacknowledged attraction to Rachel as well. Caroline's sexuality is left ambiguous in the film, in life Caroline Reed Robertson is a lesbian. |
| 194 | * ''Film/JaggedMind'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Alex, who is a manipulative, abusive, jealous lesbian who gets Billie to have a relationship with her through [[PowerPerversionPotential abusing her magic]], and [[spoiler:multiple times murders people in the way]]. However, none of the other lesbians are shown to be like this, only her. |
| 195 | %%* The animal liberation group/diamond thieves from ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' (2001), according to a deleted scene and Kevin Smith. |
| 196 | * ''Kate's Addiction'' (1999) follows Kate's obsessive pursuit of former friend Sara up to and including killing anyone who gets in her way. |
| 197 | * ''Film/TheKillingOfSisterGeorge'': June is pretty unstable and very possessive of her lover Alice. There's also her predatory boss Mercy Croft who has her own interest in Alice. |
| 198 | * As the HalfwayPlotSwitch reveals in ''Film/LakeBodom'', all the deaths in the movie are caused by [[spoiler:Nora's unrequited crush on Ida-Maria]]. Realizing that Ida-Maria liked Elias, [[spoiler:Nora]] started a rumor that someone had taken pictures of Ida-Maria naked after she passed out during a party and showed them to the entire school, causing her to be ostracized and [[SlutShaming slut-shamed]] by everyone until Nora became her only friend. She then told Ida-Maria that Elias and his friend Atte had taken the pictures and thus deserved to die, starting the events of the movie. Her plan to MurderTheHypotenuse would have made her the BigBad of the story if they didn't [[CollidingCriminalConspiracies just happen to encounter]] a genuine {{slasher}} killer. |
| 199 | * In ''Film/LeftForDead'', several of Mary's [[AmazonBrigade all-female outlaw gang]] take a perverse interest in Clem after she is captured. In particular, the blind, crippled member shows a sadistic enthusiasm for ripping Clem's clothes off after Mary orders her raped as RevengeByProxy against Blake. |
| 200 | * The titular [[LesbianVampire lesbian vampires]] from ''Film/LesbianVampireKillers''. The psychotic-ness seems to be due to the vampire part of being [[LesbianVampire lesbian vampires]], [[spoiler: since the women who are saved at the end of the movie seem to be quite agreeable lesbians]]. |
| 201 | * In ''Film/LostAndDelirious'' (2001), the main character learns that her boarding school roommates are in love. One girl's family pitches a fit, and she goes to sleep with the first guy she sees, and the other girl goes completely insane, chasing eagles in the woods and [[spoiler: she commits suicide at the end. It's even worse because the older teacher tries to save her by sharing her own forbidden love.]]\ |
| 202 | Paulie's much less palatable in the book: she not only [[spoiler:dresses up as a guy but deceives the entire school population into thinking she has a brother]], but she worships King Kong and she strings (the much ''less'' naive) Mouse along much further. Her own sexuality is never mentioned, although there's a brief scene with Tori, who professes a crush on "Lewis". The older teacher is still in a forbidden romance (here explicitly stated when Paulie and Mouse find letters from the teachers), but this is better justified by some deliberate ValuesDissonance (the book's set in the '50s). |
| 203 | * ''Film/TheMaids'' (1975) is all about this. Well, it has just three main characters: two are psycho lesbian sisters (the titular maids), and the third is their mistress who doesn't look very straight or very sane. |
| 204 | * ''Make a Wish'' (2002), an alternate title for which is even ''Lesbian Psycho''. A group of lesbians goes camping in the woods. Is the killer one of the male red herrings? [[spoiler: Nope.]] |
| 205 | * Syl and Madie from ''Film/{{Maskhead}}'' (2009) are a sick lesbian couple who make fetish porn that always ends with the participants being slaughtered by their pet killer, the eponymous Maskhead. |
| 206 | * [[spoiler:Diane]] from ''Film/MulhollandDrive'' (2001) is a lesbian, and definitely doesn't have both oars in the water. Interestingly, [[spoiler:she's the main character.]] [[MindScrew Assuming that part of the movie actually happened]]. It's worth noting though that she comes off as more of the genuinely unbalanced sort than the more AxeCrazy psychos that can be found on this page. |
| 207 | * ''{{Film/Mythica}}'': Admiral Borlund Hess, a female character, collects young women whom she finds attractive to serve as zombified {{sex slave}}s for her. |
| 208 | * Ruby from ''Film/TheNeonDemon'' (2016) fits this to a T, obsessing over the female lead, leading to an AttemptedRape, as well as having an ILoveTheDead moment with a female cadaver at her job in the morgue. |
| 209 | * Barbara Covett of ''Film/NotesOnAScandal''. Although the relationships we hear of and see her in (Jennifer and Sheba, respectively) are platonic, it's obvious she wants more. She is also a ClingyJealousGirl, having sent Jennifer's fiance a funeral wreath, and refusing to understand why Sheba's family takes priority over her. |
| 210 | * ''Film/RedSonja'': Queen Gedren propositioned Sonja in the backstory. Sonja had rejected her, slashing her face as Gedren tried to force things. In retaliation, Gedren orders Sonja gang-raped by her soldiers, and her family killed. |
| 211 | * Lady Sallyforth, Prince John's sister in ''Film/TheRibaldTalesOfRobinHood'', takes a perverse sexual interest in Marian and imprisons her in her TortureCellar. |
| 212 | * The sadistic Nazi Ingrid in Roberto Rossellini's seminal classic ''Film/RomeOpenCity'' (1945). Ingrid plies her targets with luxuries like narcotics and fine clothes in order to gather information on the Italian resistance in Rome; eventually disposing of them when they outlive their usefulness. The young woman she seduces doesn't come off too well either, but she's desperate, bitter, and impoverished in war-torn Rome and is somewhat easier to sympathize with. |
| 213 | * ''Film/TheRoommate'': Rebecca is a [[AmbiguouslyGay possible example]]. At one point she hooks up with Irene, who's a lesbian, though it's unclear if they had sex or this was just for Rebecca to overpower her. It's quite possible however to view her obsession with Sara as more than simply wanting friendship since she acts very much like a jealous lover who can't stand Sara's having relationships with anyone else (sexual and otherwise). Rebecca's also never shown or mentioned to have relationships with men (of any kind), and she had a prior obsession with another woman. |
| 214 | * A [[AmbiguouslyGay possible example]] is Creator/ShirleyJackson in ''Film/{{Shirley}}''. Although she is married to a man, it's the 1940s, and they are shown to be extremely unhappy and never have sex, although she is shown to feel extremely gaslit and miserable about his other women. However, Shirley becomes obsessed with their female houseguest Rose, frequently fantasizes about seducing her, and also slowly goes mad while trapped in their house suffering from severe agoraphobia. |
| 215 | %%* Hedy Carlson from ''Film/SingleWhiteFemale'' (1992). |
| 216 | * The true villain of ''Film/Snapshot1979'' is Madeline, who has a obsession with Angela and stalks and terrorisesher; ultimately murdering Daryl and driving off into the night with her in a BadHumorTruck. |
| 217 | * ''Film/{{Thelma}}'': Deconstructed all over the place. Thelma has some terrifying powers and the ending possibly shows her embracing their ControlFreak potential. Except...Thelma genuinely [[IJustWantToBeLoved only wants to have friends and romantic connections]], it's impossible not to sympathize with how lonely she is, and [[spoiler:even if she ''did'' pull Anja towards her, she didn't do it knowingly.]] In fact, it's heavily implied that this is because of Thelma's sexual awakening - her lesbianism is just who she is. |
| 218 | * ''Film/WeAreTheNight'': Even apart from being a vampire who lacks any qualms about killing humans to feed, Louise is a huge yandere toward woman she's attracted by. She turns Lena without asking to have a companion. |
| 219 | * ''Film/WhatKeepsYouAlive'' features a sociopathic serial killer who has killed multiple wives, almost like a lesbian Literature/{{Bluebeard}}. |
| 220 | * In ''Film/WhatsTheMatterWithHelen'' the titular Helen is meant to be a repressed lesbian going slowly madder over the course of the film. A scene was filmed where Helen kisses Adelle on the lips after [[spoiler: they've covered up a murder]], but the censors ordered it removed. Nonetheless, the subtext is definitely there. |
| 221 | * ''Film/WhenEvilCalls'': Kirsty is extremely possessive of Molly, beating a boy to death just for kissing her. She likely would kill Molly too if she'd known the latter cheated on her. |
| 222 | * Andrea from ''Windows'' (1980) is so obsessed with neighbor Emily that she arranges for Emily to be raped by a man in hopes of "[[RapeAndSwitch turning]]" her. |
| 223 | * Madga, Spyros' head of security in ''Film/TheWomanHunt''. She arranges the abduction of the women to be the prey in Spyros' HuntingTheMostDangerousGame party, and keeps propositioning Lori: telling her that she will make things easier for her if only coperates. Later she [[SlippingAMickey drugs Lori]], intending to rape her, but is prevented from doing when the other captives escape. However, she later kisses Spyros, so she might be a DepravedBisexual (or it might be a case of SingleTargetSexuality). |

| 226 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 227 | * [[spoiler:Ruth Vigers]] in ''Affinity'' by Sarah Waters is [[spoiler:a con artist who gets her jollies preying on young girls while dressed as a male spirit. It's implied she's something of a control freak with her girlfriend, femme moll Selina, who herself is an experienced con artist.]] Perhaps an attempt at [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructing]] this trope, by putting it in a social context. The protagonist of the book, whose lesbian impulses are tightly repressed, is mentally disturbed in other ways. |
| 228 | * ''Literature/TheBeeboBrinkerChronicles'': |
| 229 | ** The first book, ''Odd Girl Out'', stars Laura, who transitions from a self-loathing neurotic mess into a full-blown StalkerWithACrush who manipulates the pseudo-butch Beth into continuing a borderline [[TheMasochismTango Masochism Tango]] romance. |
| 230 | ** The third book has Beebo [[spoiler:kill a dog in order to keep Laura. It doesn't work. She wakes up to herself in the fourth book, by which time Laura has married Jack -- although both of them remain gay -- and had a daughter. Fortunately, Beth is there for Beebo]]. |
| 231 | * ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'': [[spoiler:Ktarka Zamlon Torin]] from ''Beyond Varallan'' is the first person in her planet's known history to have homosexual tendencies ''at all''. [[spoiler:The first lesbian in Jorenian history turns out to be a drug-fueled rapist and murderer with oddly vague reasoning for her infatuations...]] |
| 232 | * One of the more uncomfortable subplots of ''Literature/TheCardinalOfTheKremlin'' features an American female rocket scientist who essentially hands her male co-worker over to [[UsefulNotes/MoscowCentre the KGB]] in order to (clumsily) attempt to [[ComfortingTheWidow seduce the guy's wife]]. |
| 233 | * A classic literary example comes from ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' with the eponymous archetypal LesbianVampire, who is obsessed with protagonist Laura and [[KissOfTheVampire drinks]] her while she sleeps in multiple occasions, even biting her breast. |
| 234 | * One of these features as a villainess in the ''Literature/JudgeDee'' novel ''The Chinese Maze Murders''. |
| 235 | * {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' with Corporal Mari Magot, whose most common description from the protagonist is 'cheerfully sociopathic' (a characteristic which is not particularly extraordinary for the setting). She deliberately avoids promotion so she can [[InappropriatelyCloseComrades stay in the same squad as Sergeant Grifen]], but their relationship is never portrayed as being abusive or anything but mutual and genuine. She reserves all of her murderous impulses for the enemies her squad faces. |
| 236 | * {{Parodied|Trope}} in ''Daemon in Lithuania'' (1973) when some characters put on a play containing [[JustForFun/TropeOverdosed half of all the old-fashioned clichés ever invented]]. Kinga is found to be pregnant, and: "Enter the Lady-in-Black. She nourished a tragic passion for Kinga, and heaped the most terrible reproaches on her head, striding up and down the stage and drawing on her [[FreudWasRight long cigarette holder]]. Finally, she tossed it on to the ground, [[GroinAttack stamped on it]], and flung herself on to her frivolous friend's couch, intending to strangle her..." |
| 237 | * ''Literature/FuturetrackFive'' has a mild {{parod|iedTrope}}y; Dronfield Biological Warfare Research Centre is staffed entirely by female Techs. All of the male Techs believe them to be Psycho Lesbians. |
| 238 | * {{Invoked|Trope}} in the ''Literature/MillenniumSeries'': Lisbeth Salander is portrayed as this by the Conspiracy attempting to discredit her in ''The Girl Who Played with Fire''. |
| 239 | * {{Averted|Trope}} in ''Literature/GirlsDontHit''. Though Joss is a hitwoman who feels no remorse at all, there's no suggestion that this has any correlation with her being a lesbian; indeed, her only real feelings are toward her female lovers and her interactions with them are the most humanizing things about her. |
| 240 | * UsefulNotes/LizzieBorden has inspired many writers to speculate about why she killed her parents, and psycho lesbian motivations are among the lot. Evan Hunter's novel ''Lizzie'' portrays her as driven to murder after having been seduced by an aristocratic lesbian in Europe, returning home in a state of sexual frustration and being surprised in a tryst with the maid by her parents. ''Lizzie Borden'' by Elizabeth Engstrom has the title character in an incestuous relation with her father and sharing a bisexual lover with him. |
| 241 | * In Mary Wilkins Freeman's story "The Long Arm" (probably inspired by the sensationalistic media coverage of the Mitchell/Ward murder case in 1892), Phoebe Dole is a terrifying, powerful, manipulative woman who has been maintaining another woman in subjection for years. When this woman finally takes steps to leave her for a man, Phoebe bloodily [[MurderTheHypotenuse murders the hypotenuse]], pinning the crime with diabolical cleverness on an innocent party. She attempts to justify her crime (in a VillainousBreakdown) by saying that she's defending her domestic happiness, but this "happiness" is presented as perverted. She's described as physically monstrous as well as morally -- she's the one with the abnormally "long arm" of the title -- as one critic put it, "a desperate figure of lesbian evil, a hypocritical, sick, self-absorbed carnivorous flower." |
| 242 | * Creator/JosephineTey's ''Miss Pym Disposes'' is set in a women's college of physical culture, where Miss Pym, an amateur psychologist, is paying a visit. At the start of the book, she has a conversation with Desterro, another outsider, a sophisticated woman with many male lovers, who tells her that the college's stressed students are sexually undeveloped or maldeveloped since they have crushes on their female teachers and intense friendships with one another. The naïve Miss Pym thinks that she's never seen anything so normal and healthy as these students in her life. Sure enough, by the end of the book, not only is it clear that there is a lot of psychological mess at the college, but it turns out that Miss Nash has committed murder for Miss Innes's sake. |
| 243 | -->'''Desterro:''' Oh, Beau. She is a strong-minded creature, and so has suffered less, perhaps. But would you call her friendship for Innes quite normal? ''Nice,'' of course ''(she added hastily)'', quite irreproachable. But normal, no. That David and Jonathan relationship. It is a very happy one, no doubt, but it ''(she waved her arm to summon an appropriate word)'' -- it ''excludes'' so much.\ |
| 244 | '''Pym:''' Do you suggest that Miss Nash is not normal? |
| 245 | * One of these is the murderer in ''Literature/{{Nemesis|AgathaChristie}}''. The lady couldn't accept her 'protege' leaving her for a man. |
| 246 | * Kathryn Hulme's ''The Nun's Story'' strongly implies that the Archangel Gabriel (an inmate in an insane asylum) is one of these, not least because [[spoiler:her assault on Sister Luke appears to be an attempted rape]]. |
| 247 | * [[NunTooHoly Madamede Chelles]], the third mother superior in Denis Diderot's "The Nun" (1796), tries to seduce the protagonist, Suzanne, and goes insane after Suzanne starts shunning her, following the advice of her confessor. |
| 248 | * Subtextual in Nella Larsen's ''Literature/{{Passing}}''. The egotistical, needy, manipulative Clare, a practiced seducer, uses her beauty and charm to fascinate Irene before setting out to take over Irene's life and husband. [[spoiler:Irene eventually murders Clare while still attracted to her.]] |
| 249 | * In Junichiro Tanizaki's novel ''Quicksand'', Sonoko Kakiuchi, a bored, wealthy housewife, is seduced by Mitsuko Tokumitsu, who proceeds to insinuate herself into Sonoko's life and utterly wreck it. |
| 250 | * Mrs. Danvers from ''Literature/{{Rebecca}}'' is deeply devoted to the titular Rebecca years after her death, tries to psychologically break the main character for daring to try to "replace" Rebecca, and ultimately burns down the Manderley mansion at the book's end. |
| 251 | * In ''Literature/ThatHideousStrength'', the BigBad is an organization that employs, among other baddies, a sadistically fascistic head of security named Miss Hardcastle, who is strongly implied to be lesbian. |
| 252 | * [[spoiler:DI Jan Shields]] in Val [=McDermid=]'s [[Literature/TonyHillAndCarolJordan ''The Torment of Others'']] is a particularly nasty example who [[spoiler:uses MoreThanMindControl on a succession of mentally challenged young men to force them to kidnap and torture prostitutes for her viewing pleasure]]. |
| 253 | * Mary Whitaker from the ''Literature/LordPeterWimsey'' mystery ''Unnatural Death''; though Sayers also presents a lesbian couple in an earlier generation, Agatha Dawson and Clare Whitaker, as not psycho and as having a successful relationship. |
| 254 | * Discussed in ''Literature/{{Penance}}''. It's common to assume that Joan was set alight because of Dolly's relationship with Jayde, and they are mocked often for being crazy schoolgirl lesbians. In fact, Dolly is [[DepravedBisexual bisexual]], and the lesbian Jayde is the well-balanced and sane TokenGoodTeammate. |
| 255 | * ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' has Galina Casban, leader of the Aes Sedai's [[DoesNotLikeMen markedly male-averse]] Red Ajah [[spoiler:and secretly a high-ranking servant of the Dark One]]. She had a reputation for using her authority to pressure other Aes Sedai into relationships, has some highly questionable dealings with Accepted students under her authority, and takes a break from brutally torturing [[spoiler:Rand]] to ogle a woman nearby. [[spoiler:She later gets some [[BreakTheHaughty vicious]] SexualKarma from Therava, another Psycho Lesbian who enslaves and utterly dominates her.]] |
| 256 | * [[spoiler:Sally Pringsheim]], the BigBad in ''Literature/{{Wilt}}'', turns out to be one, as Eva Wilt finds out the hard way. She gropes Eva under the guise of 'Touch Therapy' and makes her dress in sexy outfits while on a barge holiday. Although she is married to a man, it's purely because he has a plastic fetish, and she doesn't hesitate to try and kill him after Eva escapes from their barge. |
| 257 | * Esme and Liza, [[spoiler:the so-called Beard Killers]], in Alex Grecian's ''The Yard'', were DrivenToMadness after Esme was brutally assaulted by UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper. |
| 258 | * Andrea from ''The Zone'' series of WorldWarIII novels by James Rouch, is certainly [[SociopathicSoldier psychopathic if not psychotic]] and is widely assumed to be a lesbian by the other soldiers because of her contempt for men. Eventually however she forms a sexual relationship with Major Revell. |
| 259 | [[/folder]] |
| 260 | |
| 261 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 262 | * Subverted in ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' with Nyssa Al-Ghul, who tries to force her ex-lover Sara Lance to return to the League of Assassins and specifically herself, threatening both Sara and members of her family. However in this case her love for Sara is presented as a humanizing/redeeming aspect rather than a perversion, as [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she's unable to carry out her threats]]. Sara also makes it clear that their love was genuine, and willingly returns to her later in the series. |
| 263 | * ''Series/AvocadoToast'': Omnira, the leader of a therapeutic cult, turns out to groom and have sex with her AFAB or female patients. She tries this with Elle, and has already got her hooks in Naran. |
| 264 | * ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Ruthless Rear Admiral Helena Cain is revealed to have been in a relationship with Cylon infiltrator Gina Six during "[[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003Razor Razor]]". She shot her own XO for disobedience, ordered civilians killed who resisted her taking their supplies and has Gina gang-raped after learning she's a Cylon. |
| 265 | * ''Series/TheBlacklist'': The episode "The Harem" features a master thief, murderer, and typical villainous lesbian, Margo, who makes a pass at Elizabeth (the show's married, heterosexual lead) and then gets aggressive and sexually coercive when her advance is initially rejected. |
| 266 | * ''Series/TheBrokenwoodMysteries'': Revealed to be the murderer in two different episodes, the second of which features the first psycho lesbian as a returning character. |
| 267 | %%* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': Dark Willow, natch. |
| 268 | * ''Series/{{Creepshow}}'': In "[[Recap/CreepshowS1E8LydiaLanesBetterHalf Lydia Lane's Better Half]]", Celia comes back from the dead to get revenge on her girlfriend Lydia, who killed her accidentally after they fought over Lydia's denying her a promotion. |
| 269 | * An early episode of ''Series/CriminalMinds'', "[[Recap/CriminalMindsS1E18SomebodysWatching Somebody's Watching]]", has [[spoiler:Maggie Low as the unsub, a college friend and longtime stalker of Lila Archer]]. She confronts Lila and Spencer at gunpoint in the end, furious because Lila and Spencer are attracted to each other. |
| 270 | * In ''Series/CriminologistHimuraAndMysteryWriterArisugawa'', the culprit who murdered an idol in the "Waiting for Jack the Ripper" case is revealed to be [[spoiler:the idol's producer, a woman who had become obsessed with the idol. When the idol tried to leave her group, the producer killed her so that [[IfICantHaveYou no one else could have her]], then framed her body in a "beautiful" way]]. This is notably contrasted by a fellow member of the idol group, a shy and kind-hearted lesbian who was also in love with the idol. |
| 271 | * ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': A season 1 VictimOfTheWeek was one of these. The perpetrator was a young woman who had once worked for the victim as a personal assistant and was now working as a [[BodySushi "table" in a sushi restaurant.]] The victim had fired the young woman and destroyed her career for refusing her sexual advances; once the victim learned of her former PA's new job, she would specifically request the young woman to be her "table" and continue to sexually harass her. Because refusing a customer request was likely to get herself fired, the former PA had poisoned her toenail polish to get her revenge (the victim liked to eat sushi off her former PA's toes). |
| 272 | * Several characters of ''Series/CutieHoneyTheLive''. The title character, Honey, is lusted after by another female main character, Yuki. Yuki gets extremely jealous and possessive although they never develop a romance, her insanity builds up to the point where she becomes the main villain. Additionally, another main character, Miki, initially appears to be somewhat insane (introduced in a prison, then slaughters a bunch of men attacking the prisoners; proceeding to become a hero until her death, only to be brought back to life, only to be merged (in the midst of a lot of lesbian subtext) with Honey to help her defeat the Psycho Lesbian villain Yuki. That's not all, however; Mayumi, a sadist teacher who likes to perform an ambiguous lesbian sex act involving raw eggs on her students, develops a passionate attraction towards Miki, whilst fighting the heroes throughout the series. In the end, in Miki's last moments, she finally shares a kiss with her. For added '''wrong''', a good deal of Mayumi's fights with Miki consist of one groping the other. |
| 273 | * Played with in ''Series/DareMe'', where for most of the first season, Beth just looks psychotically jealous of Collette French because Collette has gained the attentions of Beth's best friend and crush Addy. [[spoiler:It later turns out that Beth was right to suspect Collette, as she murdered her ex-boyfriend and is now manipulating Addy into taking the fall for it.]] |
| 274 | * A three-episode arc from the second season of ''Series/DesignatedSurvivor'' involved the murder of a female member of the British Parliament. While it was suspected that a notorious arms dealing couple was suspected, it turned out that the true killer was [[spoiler:her female assistant, who she was having an affair with and became a WomanScorned when the relationship ended.]] |
| 275 | * In the ''Series/FatherBrown'' episode "Lair of the Libertines", [[spoiler:Madame Chania]] turns out to be a [[ForTheEvulz thrill-seeking]] StrawNihilist who enjoys HuntingTheMostDangerousGame and who abuses her ExtremeDoormat girlfriend to the point of [[spoiler:using her as a FallGuy]]. |
| 276 | * Played with in an early episode of ''Series/Glow2017'', where Sam's original version of the wrestling show was a sci-fi dystopia where Amazon women are ruled by [[CountryMatters Queen Kuntar]] and must battle her for the right to sex up a hunky spaceman. |
| 277 | * Subverted in ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' [[spoiler:The audience is led to believe that Gretchen Berg is perpetrating acts of violence against anyone who tries to get close to Claire, including her roommate Annie and members of a sorority. She also Facebook-stalks Claire, wears her clothes and has written obessively about her. However, though she did have a crush on Claire, it is revealed that the acts of violence were in fact perpetrated by someone working for the main villain, Samuel.]] |
| 278 | * Lydia Hart on ''Series/{{Hollyoaks}}''. After being dumped by Sarah, she sent dead flowers to herself pretending they were from her ex-girlfriend Charlotte, making Sarah get back together with her out of pity. Not long after that, she tried to murder her love rival Zoe during a skydiving holiday by sabotaging her parachute, but the parachutes were handed out in a random order and Sarah was killed instead. |
| 279 | * Rose Solano from ''Series/Jane The Virgin'', a ruthless sociopathic assassin. Over the last five seasons, Rose has stolen Jane’s baby, shot her husband, later poisoned that same husband to fake his death, and has emotionally broken and manipulated Luisa more times than I can count.Rose’s grand plan is to guilt and threaten Luisa into staying by her side. What makes it terrifying is that in Rose’s mind, these manipulations are acts of love – not abuse.[[spoiler: dating all the way back to the earliest episodes of the show, there’s been Rose and Luisa; the heiress stepmother turned serial assassin and her adult stepdaughter turned lover. Everything about them has felt wrong, and as Jane the Virgin progressed it became increasingly clear (if it wasn’t from the start) that their relationship had devolved into compulsion. They were toxic, but blinded by her own obsession for power, Rose never saw the difference. Before their final kiss, she looks Luisa in her eyes and declares, “Ours is the greatest love story ever told.” ]] |
| 280 | * Villanelle from ''Series/KillingEve'', a ruthless sociopathic assassin. [[spoiler: Her backstory involves killing her girlfriend's husband to [[MurderTheHypotenuse get rid of him]] too.]] |
| 281 | * An episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' had an "aggressive" [[note]]it's a subculture[[/note]] lesbian accused of killing her girlfriend, and the police become more suspicious when they learn that she stalked and harassed her ex-girlfriend before dating the murder victim. [[spoiler: It wasn't her; she admits that she had major anger problems but states that her girlfriend [[LoveRedeems encouraged her to attend anger management therapy and to become a better person overall.]] However, she still has a temper and attacks a man suspected of being the killer.]] Also featured is a lesbian SoapboxSadie who, while not quite psychotic, is very loud and [[DoesNotLikeMen rude to every man she meets]]--[[spoiler:which turns out to be a cover for the fact that she's secretly bisexual and dating a man]]. |
| 282 | * ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'' has one in [[spoiler: Dahlia, Cara's ex-girlfriend who betrays her, kidnaps her and tortures her into becoming one of the screwed up family again. When she kisses Cara (who is chained up, bruised and bleeding) and Cara head butts her, she does not respond to the rejection well, though fortunately all we get is her statement/threat that her previous torturer was 'being too gentle.']] |
| 283 | * Discussed in ''Series/{{Longmire}}'' by Tamar Smith, who gets very peeved at the (false) insinuation that she kidnapped [[spoiler:Donna]] because she was infatuated with her. |
| 284 | * The ITV ''Series/{{Marple}}'' adaptation of ''Literature/TheBodyInTheLibrary'' actually changed the identity of the killer from Christie's original plot in order to cater to this trope. |
| 285 | * In TheRemake of the LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek ''Mother, May I Sleep With Danger'', the protagonist's crazy ex who refuses to accept that their relationship is over is one of these, ironically resulting in the AccidentalAesop that DomesticAbuse occurs in same-sex relationships just as often as their heterosexual counterparts. Did we mention that the ex is a [[LesbianVampire vampire]]? |
| 286 | * ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': |
| 287 | ** [[spoiler: Teased but ultimately averted]] in the episode "Double Life". [[spoiler: It is first suggested that Dr Grace's girlfriend Lillian Moss killed her ex, Gladys, and Gladys's husband, then - once it turns out Gladys is FakingTheDead - that Gladys killed her husband and later shot Lillian for rejecting her. It eventually transpires that the only psycho in the case is Gladys's husband, who Gladys ''thought'' she'd killed to protect Lillian, and who later returned, killed Lillian, and tried to reclaim Gladys at gunpoint.]] |
| 288 | ** DownplayedTrope with Dorothy Ernst, who is revealed to be a lesbian in "Sweet Amelia", having already been established as psycho, but is ''less'' psycho than her straight sister Amelia. |
| 289 | * Several in the first two seasons of ''Series/{{NCIS}}''. Since the second season ended, their problem with Psycho Lesbians seems to have disappeared: |
| 290 | ** In "Conspiracy Theory", the killers turned out to be two women who had been committed to a mental hospital, where they now have sex with each other. |
| 291 | ** In "Lt. Jane Doe", a lesbian petty officer killed and raped her lover and then implanted semen from an old cold case into her so they would think the rapist had struck again. It probably would have worked if they hadn’t figured out the original rapist's identity (in a bit of a ContrivedCoincidence he had just gotten out of a Canadian prison a month before and moved back to Virginia). It turns out he had died a few weeks before the murder. |
| 292 | * Reagan finally breaks up with her girlfriend Camilla in ''Series/NewGirl'' after much contemplation. Camilla seems to be taking it perfectly, until she goes into Reagan's room and begins screaming her hatred at her and trashing the room. It is completely unexpected, considering she was pretty level-headed the entire episode. |
| 293 | --> '''Reagan:''' You stuck around, and you helped me lie to a psychotic woman who is now destroying all of my stuff. |
| 294 | * ''Series/NYPDBlue'': |
| 295 | ** Initially averted with the introduction of Abby Sullivan. Partnered and pregnant, her lover is killed by Abby's psycho ex-girlfriend who can't bear the thought of her having a child with another woman. |
| 296 | ** Lt. Susan Dalto is assigned to lead the squad when Arthur Fancy leaves. She's not around long enough to determine if she's truly a psycho but the squad's pet gay John thinks she's psycho enough from knowing her from the Gay Officers Action League that he convinces Fancy to pull strings to get her re-assigned. |
| 297 | * ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'': |
| 298 | ** Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren is gay, and also definitely has mental problems, as her nickname might suggest. She is also a deconstruction, in that she is not a bad person, per se, nor is she even a full-blown psychotic, although the prison does periodically have to confine her in the psychiatric ward. |
| 299 | ** Suzanne gets intimate with one in a later season who is NotGoodWithRejection and engages Suzanne in a fight because of it and from a guard's manipulations. She also causes the guard (Humps) to have a stroke by blowing into his IV tube for his sadism towards them in the previous season and his homophobia towards them. |
| 300 | ** Mazall in season 2 is friendly towards Piper but in a very intense manner. Upon Piper's arrival, Mazall immediately asks her the details of her birth, as she is heavily into astrology. After Piper, following a signal from Hill, refuses to tell Mazall the time she was born, Mazall climbs into Piper's bunk during the night and licks her face until Piper gives away the information. The next morning, Mazall admits she has "manic rage" issues and once bit off her ex-girlfriend's tongue and swallowed it. |
| 301 | * ''{{Series/Pandora}}'': Sakira seems to be into Pilar, as she ogles her after using her hacked nanites to cause Pilar's nude walk in the bar, with her behavior generally coming off as that of an obsessed rapist/stalker, not only someone wanting revenge for getting shown up. |
| 302 | * ''Series/PersonsUnknown'': Erika is a psychotic knife-wielding man hater who must have done something bad enough to land her getting the death penalty, and her methods of seduction are not unlike that of a wolverine circling its prey. |
| 303 | --> "Stay away from Janet. I got dibs." |
| 304 | * The trio of "killer lesbians" in the ''Police Woman'' episode "Flowers of Evil". Derided in the lesbian press as "The Bitch, The Butch and The Femme", they ran a nursing home where they robbed and occasionally murdered their elderly residents. |
| 305 | * The Pink and Yellow Psycho Rangers come off as this in an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''. |
| 306 | %%* "[[ButchLesbian Daddy]]" from ''Series/PrisonBreak: The Final Break''. |
| 307 | %%* Another example from the 1970s: Franky in ''Series/PrisonerCellBlockH''. |
| 308 | %% * The murderer in one of the season 5 ''Series/{{Psych}}'' episodes. |
| 309 | * Subverted in ''Series/ThePurge''; before Lila Stanton first appears onscreen, Rick and Jenna talk about her as though she is a psycho ex-girlfriend, and given that Lila ''is'' a member of the Stanton family, whose patriarch literally worships serial killers, it would not be entirely unfair to assume that she is evil. In reality, though, Lila is a perfectly decent young woman who Rick and Jenna sexually exploited in order to spice up their failing marriage, and Rick invented the notion that she was "dangerous" because Jenna became tempted to leave him for Lila. |
| 310 | * In the episode "Good Night, Dear Heart" of ''Series/QuantumLeap'', Sam tries to determine the cause of death of a young woman who was apparently drowned. [[spoiler: It turns out that the young woman was accidentally killed by her lesbian lover after the victim fell in love with a man.]] Averted in the comic book sequel. [[spoiler: Sam leaps into the killer, Stephanie Heywood, in June 1969 as she is being released from prison. She has become a photographer in prison and she documents the events of the Stonewall riots. Writer Andy Mengels based the story on the series' central theme of setting right what once went wrong.]] |
| 311 | * ''Series/TheShannaraChronicles'': Zora, Eretria's old girlfriend who is now an obsessive and brutal Elf Hunter. She still clearly shows attraction to Eretria, which comes off as creepy under the circumstances because she's hunting her, but has zero hesitation at harming or capturing Eretria to sell her as a slave either. |
| 312 | * ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Tina Greer, Lana's only lesbian StalkerWithACrush of the Week. |
| 313 | * Carmen on ''Series/SouthOfNowhere'' is supposed to be portrayed as this but the worst thing she does is push Spencer into a wall by accident when fighting over the fact Spencer still has feelings for Ashley, and she immediately apologizes for it. She is popular in the fandom; instead of shipping her with Spencer, many people prefer her with Ashley's sister Kyla. |
| 314 | * An example from before the 1990s - in ''Series/TheStreetsOfSanFrancisco'''s "Once A Con," a convict on a day release programme is under suspicion of having murdered a student on campus. [[spoiler: She was killed by the roommate of her friend - she thought the victim was planning to take her friend (who she loved) away from her. It was an [[AccidentalMurder accidental killing]], with the goal being to "just" scar her.]] |
| 315 | * ''Series/TidelandsNetflix'': Leandra, a DarkActionGirl who's introduced murdering a man, later has sex with a woman and she also shows attraction to Adrielle, kissing her. |
| 316 | * An episode of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' had a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot psycho lesbian from]] [[RecycledINSPACE space]]. |
| 317 | * Mickie James from Wrestling/{{WWE}} started out as Trish Stratus's psychotic lesbian stalker. Unlike many of the other examples, Mickie James was embraced by the fans. It helped that along with being a genuinely talented woman, she was funny in the role and likable. |

| 320 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 321 | * The video for Music/AmandaPalmer's "What's the Use in Won'drin?" seems to be setting up a story of a battered wife who's secretly in love with a female friend until the last thirty seconds or so, when it makes a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzek4sHZp-c&feature=channel distinct turn for the darker]]. |
| 322 | * The unnamed narrator in Music/SoundHorizon's "Baroque" seems to have been a fairly nice girl (if shy and socially awkward) [[LoveMakesYouEvil until she fell in love with another girl]] and proceeded to [[{{Yandere}} push said girl down a flight of stairs for rejecting her]]. |
| 323 | * One possible interpretation of Music/{{PJ Harvey}}'s "Catherine" from ''Music/IsThisDesire'', where a woman is singing about her envy and anger towards the titular character, and [[MurderTheHypotenuse plans to murder her current lover.]] |
| 324 | * Music/{{Vocaloid}}: |
| 325 | ** [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15101170 "The Madness of Lady Venomania"]] (NSFW song and video), the Luka cover of [[Music/EvilliousChronicles "Duke Venomania"]]. The main character played by Luka pulls the same antics Duke Venomania does, which is using wicked powers to enchant and collect a harem of women to use as {{Sex Slave}}s. She even physically changes into a more demonic appearance near the end. However, the video has a very noticeable BlackComedy vibe to it, seeing as Lady Venomania's harem even includes a [[SuperDeformed chibi]], Sweet Ann, and ''Shiteyanyo''. |
| 326 | ** In the song ''Escape the Princess'', Gumi tries to run away from Miku, who plays one of these. [[DownerEnding It doesn't]] [[RapeAsDrama work out]]. |
| 327 | ** [[AsianFoxSpirit Akari Oborodzuka]] of the Fox's Story/Onibi Series song series by MASA Works Design is one. |
| 328 | * The narrator of Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL8jIrjr5pU Girl With One Eye]]" is so depraved that she ''[[EyeScream cuts out the eye]]'' of a woman she preyed on, because said victim hurt her feelings. Interestingly, this song was actually CoveredUp from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hbU9RCfMtE an earlier version]] by a punk band called the Ludes, and if anything the male narrator in that version sounds even ''more'' psycho than Florence! |

| 332 | * The 1920 surrealist play ''Les Détraquées'' ("the deranged women") features lots of depravity in a girls' school, including two lesbians, the director and the dance teacher, who torture and murder a student. |
| 333 | * ''Theatre/TheMiracleWorker'' alludes to Psycho Lesbians existing in the asylum [[spoiler:which Annie Sullivan grew up in]]: "The asylum? [...] There were [...] some of the kind that keep after other girls, especially the young ones." |
| 334 | * Inez in ''Theatre/NoExit'' is a lesbian, and she's open about living for the pain of others, but her orientation seems fairly incidental to her character. She is a very well-made example since the other hetero characters are no less cruel than her and she is psycho because she takes the lesbian part along with the selfishness to their logical extremes. This means that she pathologically hates men and sees them as competition, so much so that she is willing to ''kill''. |

| 337 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 338 | * ''VideoGame/TwoDark'': Sylvia Scarlett lives on top of her tower with Elisa, who is all but outright stated to be her girlfriend. [[spoiler: Their shared hobby is to buy kidnapped children from Antonio Petronelli, kill them, and turn their bodies into stuffed dolls.]] |
| 339 | * The InteractiveFiction game ''VideoGame/TheBlindHouse'' has heavy subtextual hints at an attraction between its two main characters, Helena and Marissa, and both of them are clearly pretty unstable in different ways -- but especially Helena, who has just killed a woman who is implied to have been her lover. What really takes it into this trope's territory, though, is TheReveal that [[spoiler:Helena has been stalking Marissa and trying to trap her in her own house]], and the fact that in [[MultipleEndings one possible ending]], [[spoiler:Helena kills Marissa too, while lying on top of her on her bed, and then [[ILoveTheDead cuddles with the corpse]]]]. |
| 340 | * Selena in ''VideoGame/{{Damnation}}'' definitely fits this trope. |
| 341 | * Inverted in ''VideoGame/ADanceWithRogues'', in which the lesbian characters tend to be nicer. |
| 342 | * Amongst the AxCrazy bosses of ''VideoGame/DeadRising'', Jo Slade stands out. A sadistic police officer who brutalizes young women, she was one of the creepiest enemies in the game. |
| 343 | * Paragon Branka of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' was so obsessed with obtaining the Anvil of the Void, the magical artifact used to create golems, that she allowed her female lover Hespith to be captured by the darkspawn and turned into [[FateWorseThanDeath a broodmother]]. On the other hand, she was married to Oghren, so it is possible that she is a DepravedBisexual. |
| 344 | * Downplayed in ''VideoGame/HauntingGround'' with [[spoiler:Daniella]], given the vibe of some of her scenes. She's insanely jealous of Fiona's [[spoiler:[[LifeEnergy Azoth]] and her ability to bear children]], which implies the inverse of this trope, but she also gropes Fiona in her sleep before ''breaking a window with her own forehead'' to get a piece of glass to cut out Fiona's uterus. |
| 345 | * ''VideoGame/HorizonForbiddenWest'': Tilda van der Meer is a wealthy, powerful [[AbusivePrecursors Zenith]] who was in a relationship with Project Zero Dawn's innovator Elisabet Sobeck a thousand years priot to the events of the game. She has spent those thousand years obsessing over the way the relationship ended, even going so far as to create Beta, a clone of Elisabet, in order to recapture what she thought she had had. When Beta disappoints her by not being exactly like Elisabet, she [[spoiler:callously disowns her and turns her attention to the game's protagonist Aloy, also a clone of Elisabet, trying to force Aloy to join her - and when her demands fall on deaf ears, she climbs into a mech suit and tries to beat Aloy into submission]]. |
| 346 | * MadScientist Dr. Strangelove from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' is a downplayed example. She's a ButchLesbian and AntiVillain with (like ''all'' MGS antagonists) an obsession with [[BigGood The Boss]], to the point of making a ReplacementGoldfish AI of her after her death. She also has some rather predatory interactions with Cecilia and Paz that are PlayedForLaughs. |
| 347 | * The antagonist [[spoiler:Wendy]] from ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose''. It turns out that she was the [[TheChessmaster mastermind]] behind all the tormenting and torture of Jennifer, including the execution of [[spoiler:Brown, the loyal and loveable dog that Jennifer loved]]. All of this was apparently [[spoiler:"punishment" for Jennifer "falling in love with Brown"]]. Unfortunately, the last one was [[BreakTheCutie what brought Jennifer over the edge]]. However, it's hard to call foul when [[DysfunctionJunction everyone in that orphanage is nuts]]. |
| 348 | * ''VideoGame/ScarletNexus'': Yuta in the Kasane path. She has no regard for human life, talks about making Kasane into her "pet", licks her hand after touching her own sister, and is TooKinkyToTorture. |
| 349 | * Claudia Wolf of ''VideoGame/SilentHill3'', [[EpilepticTrees possibly]]. She seems to be obsessed with Heather, or rather with Alessa, in more ways than one. |
| 350 | * ''VideoGame/WindChildBlack'' has Azura, an immortal witch obsessed with healing her wounded wife. Her initial reaction to meeting the protagonist is to throttle the girl. It's implied that she was relatively sane before she became immortal. Her wife, on the other hand, is a subversion, being much more rational and pleasant to be around. |
| 351 | * If Sempai is a girl, this perfectly describes {{Yandere}}-Chan from ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', but what did you expect from a game named ''Yandere Simulator''? Yui Rio, TokenEvilTeammate of the Rainbow 6, is also implied to be a lesbian, as some promo art shows her sexually harassing Yuna Hina by trying to grab her rear. |
| 352 | |

| 354 | |
| 355 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 356 | * [[GiantSpider Hirasaka]] Hatsune from ''VisualNovel/AtlachNacha'' absorbs energy by having sexual intercourse with people or eating them. She prefers females for sex and males for eating. If you piss her off, she ''will'' tear you apart before devouring you... all with a smile, too. |
| 357 | * Sousou from ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou'' is a borderline case. Sure, she gets presented relatively sympathetically as the series progresses, as it gets revealed she only acts like a bitch, but not before [[BlackComedyRape forcing one of her subordinates into sex with her]] and trying to do the same with Kannu. Never mind that her subordinate is more than happy to comply with the "forcing...", though Kan'u only accepts a Sousou's proposal under duress. |
| 358 | * Downplayed in ''VisualNovel/LiarLiar 2''. Miho and Yukari are a couple however them being violent is unrelated to it. Yukari is bisexual, however Miho's sexuality has never been hinted about besides her liking Yukari. They're both serial killer [[TeensAreMonsters teenagers]], but then again almost every character in the game kills someone in the {{Bad End}}s. Miho [[StartOfDarkness started]] killing due to her StalkerWithACrush while Yukari has apparently been cruel her entire life ([[spoiler:she's even killed everyone she's been with since elementary]]) but her boyfriend leaving her for [[SiblingTriangle her sister]] caused him to kill him in jealousy ([[spoiler:and to [[BigBrotherInstinct protect her sister]]]]). |
| 359 | * ''VisualNovel/PhantomThiefSilverCat'': Mineko basically wants Ginka as a sex slave. Whether or not men also interest her is unknown. |
| 360 | * ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' [[spoiler:offers a rare ''[[UnholyMatrimony mutual]]'' example with [[BigBadDuumvirate Lambdadelta and Bernkastel]]. At first, it seems like it's Lamda's one-sided MadLove that makes her want to keep Bern all for herself. In Episode 5 though, it turns out they have a genuine love for each other. Very violent and twisted, but genuine nonetheless.]] |
| 361 | * ''VisualNovel/WolfInSheepsClothing'' is about a mentally ill trans girl who has a family history of ''serious'' mental instability and is losing the war against her inner demons. Her only link to sanity is her best friend Colette, who she has disturbing thoughts about. [[spoiler:Sadly, she can't overcome her violent urges and goes homicidally insane, and her last words are toxic and manipulative towards Colette.]] |

| 365 | * Yukari and Yuyuko from ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' are like this in the 18+ version of the ''Music/{{IOSYS}}'' fan video ''Border of Extacy''. For general safe-for-work principles and sanity, a link shall not be provided. (A search on Website/YouTube will not reveal this video but will reveal the other version of the video) |
| 366 | * [[DirtyOldWoman Lunch Lady Belinda]] from ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool''. |
| 367 | [[/folder]] |
| 368 | |
| 369 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 370 | * In ''[[http://adayoflucy.thecomicseries.com A Day of Lucy]]'', It is likely from this [[http://adayoflucy.thecomicseries.com/comics/10/ strip]] that Natalie is one. |
| 371 | * Lemon and Lime from ''[[http://evilplan.thewebcomic.com Evil Plan]]''. The inseparable supervillainesses refer to each other as their "wives," and while they seem to be happy and perky, the right conditions are all that needed to let the unsettling mania show... |
| 372 | * Chi, Aku's daughter in ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', [[StalkerWithACrush specifically towards Mimi]]. |
| 373 | * Yuki, from ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', plays with the trope. She not only has a [[HollywoodPsych psychological disorder]] that causes her to sees all male sex organs as "Naughty Tentacles" thanks a childhood incident where she saw her father's hentai manga, but she also tends to go into berserk fugue states in which she [[GroinAttack attacks]] said "tentacles" ''with the intent of utterly destroying them''. As for the "lesbian" half of things, she played StalkerWithACrush to her bisexual ex-girlfriend Zii for several years, and constantly has hate sex with one of her bandmates. Played with in that she's actually bisexual, and once she accepts this about herself, starts actively working to cure her psychosis so she can enter a relationship with Gary. It doesn't work out, and she soon breaks up with him because she feels guilty that their sex life is AllTakeAndNoGive. She eventually ends the series happily dating Matt, who loves her ''[[ThrillSeeker precisely because]]'' her fear of male genitalia caters to his love for rough sex. |
| 374 | * One of [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Vanessa's]] exes in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', whom she left for casting aspersions on her bisexuality once too often, apparently still calls her, begging to get back together while calling her "whore." |
| 375 | * ''Webcomic/StrangeSchool'': Well, two of them: Whitney Board and Brandi Aid are each others' girlfriends. And they're perfectly okay with Students being murdered. The latter cheers the former on, as she kills a Student in her ''own infirmary''. |
| 376 | * ''WebComic/WhiteAngelsHaveNoWings'': |
| 377 | ** Baek Yeonwha is a sadistic lesbian who enjoys {{manipulati|veBastard}}ng and {{control|Freak}}ing people. She keeps her "friend" Hoo Yoonsoo under her thumb in a rather abusive relationship and enacts a PayEvilUntoEvil scheme against the school bully Yang Dahye. This mostly involves blackmailing her and sexually harassing and assaulting her to keep her under control. This is so she can gain the affection of her current crush, Song Ayeon, who has been the target of Dahye's bullying. And when Yoonsoo gets jealous, Yeonhwa abuses her into submission and manipulates her into not worrying about it. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that she sexually and physically abused her sister Sohwa because [[IncestantAdmirer she was in love with her]]. And when she finds a way to get her back, she hunts her down like a hungry predator.]] The sequel, shows that she went from woman to woman while being rather sadistic with them, to the point that she gained a reputation among other women for this in relationships. She seemed to [[TookALevelInKindness mellow out]], but Dahye's interference eventually brought those tendencies back out. |
| 378 | ** ''Webcomic/WhiteAngelsGetNoRest'': The Deputy Manager Lee Shi-ae who works at Dahye's company is a more restrained version compared to Yeonwha. She has an obsession with Dahye's sister, Minhye, but she is much more {{pragmatic|Villainy}} in her ways of attaining her. Regardless, she displays excessive jealousy about Yoonsoo since she started living with Minhye[[note]]While it is implied through Lee's recounting of things, it is never outright stated that Minhye and Yoonsoo are in a romantic relationship.[[/note]] and wants her out of the picture. [[spoiler: When an alliance with Yeonhwa goes south and she sees no other options, Lee gives up on being subtle and eventually rapes Minhye to get what she wants.]] |
| 379 | * Gail Swanson, the VillainProtagonist of ''Webcomic/WhenSheWasBad''. |
| 380 | * In ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'' Sadako is a pretty perfect example. That being said, [[CastFullOfGay other characters]] provide more positive depictions of homosexuality and bisexuality. |
| 381 | [[/folder]] |
| 382 | |
| 383 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 384 | * [[spoiler: Amy Dallon]] from ''Literature/{{Worm}}'', doing a MindRape on her straight sister to force her to love her is enough to put her on the list, but she somehow only gets worse from there. She [[spoiler:later turns her sister in a flesh monster for two years, is revealed to have physically raped her repeatedly over several days, and despite ending ''Worm'' blaming herself and accepting responsibility for her evil deeds, the sequel retcons this into her rejecting responsibility for her actions, keeps a patch of her sister's skin under her bra, mind controls another girl that reminds her of Victoria into being loyal to her (who eventually becomes an EldritchAbomination in part because of what Amy did), and is so insane she believes people should thank her for not being even worse.]] By the end of ''Literature/{{Ward}}'', she is probably the most universally hated character in a series of BlackAndGrayMorality. |
| 385 | * Fire Burial from ''Literature/{{Brennus}}''. She'll burn off [[GroinAttack the genitals]] of any male who propositions her. |
| 386 | * WebVideo/DiamandaHagan. PlayedForLaughs. |
| 387 | * Pinkie Pie from ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'' is easily the most cruel and violent of the Mane 6. She has, among other atrocities: almost sprayed fluttershy with Aqua Regia (known for its ability to dissolve gold), has enjoyed the suffering of Rarity, and asked Twilight to make Fluttershy cry for a vial of holy water. She has also hit on most of the main cast (all female), and has outright stated "Pinkie is lesbian". |
| 388 | * Lyn "Laeil" Burbank of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'''s third version. After confessing her love to a female friend, she gets bullied by her classmates for being a "dyke". Once she gets on the island, she kills her cousin (who was one of her major bullies) by [[GroinAttack stabbing him in the groin repeatedly]]. Afterwards, she decides that she was going to die anyway and that she was going to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge get revenge on everyone who ever bullied her]]. [[spoiler: The last thing she sees before she dies is a hallucination of the aforementioned female friend forgiving her.]] Reiko Ishida of version 4 is an inversion: while she is a prominent player, one of her more sympathetic qualities is her relationship with Sarah Xu, and after CharacterDevelopment she starts to be concerned about what Sarah thinks of her actions. |
| 389 | * ''WebVideo/TheVeronicaExclusive'' gives us Jane. SerialKiller. AxCrazy. {{Yandere}} extraordinaire. Hopelessly in love with Veronica. Incidentally, Veronica is bisexual and ([[SanitySlippage usually]]) sane. |
| 390 | * Website/{{Pixiv}} has the [[https://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=クレイジーサイコレズ "Crazy Psycho Lesbian" tag]] for works including this sort of character. |
| 391 | * Examined and deconstructed by name in "[[https://web.archive.org/web/20170916100908/http://www.susanmeslerevanswrites.com/2017/05/the-psycho-lesbian-and-you-or-why-this.html The Psycho Lesbian and You, or, Why This Trope Needs to Die]]." Including a reference to Website/ThisVeryWiki! |
