A snappy prosecutor needs a prop to match.

We don't want to go to war today,
But the Lord of the Lash says, "Nay, nay, nay"!
We're gonna march all day, all day, all day!
For where there's a whip, there's a way!
— The Return of the King, "Where There's a Whip, There's a Way"

Whips have historically been used as an instrument of control, dominance, oppression, and submission. Flogging or striking someone with a whip is a famous form of Corporal Punishment in many cultures. The sound of a whip cracking can strike fear in those listening and the very act of tugging or tightening a whip can look menacing or intimidating. The physical pain or discomfort inflicted by the whip reinforces the dominance of the wielder over the recipient.

As such, whips in fiction are often associated with control and domination. This can manifest in many different ways and they can often mix.

One of the most common whip-wielding archetypes is for authoritarian, oppressive, and often sadistic character archetypes who are meant to emanate fear such as a Torture Technician, The Jailer, Repulsive Ringmaster, a slaver, a Mook Lieutenant or a high ranking commander. Such a character usually Loves the Sound of Screaming and is a Sadist and Hope Crusher. An organization or group as a whole can be similarly characterized by its usage of whips, especially if it's a Signature Device, Fantastic Race Weapon Affinity, or National Weapon of the culture. If the officers or commanders of The Empire or the People's Republic of Tyranny carry a whip, it's a sign the top brass keeps their men in line via fear of punishment. If the Mooks are the ones carrying the whips, it's a sign that the top brass is oppressive of its very own citizens. In general, a whip can be a symbol of an oppressive hierarchy within an organization.

Because whips are a symbol of power and dominance, they're also often associated with BDSM, sensuality, and Dominatrix-type characters and a common attribute of Power Dynamics Kink. Female whip wielders will often be portrayed as sensual, haughty, cold, sadistic, and domineering. They're often dressed in outfits that are Stripperiffic, Hell-Bent for Leather, or resembling a dominatrix. It's not unusual for their whips to also be used to tie up or strangle their victims for the bondage factor. Due to the belief that Bondage Is Bad and Fetishes Are Weird this association tends to be more popular with villainesses, especially in archetypes like The Baroness, Dragon Lady, Hot Witch, or The Vamp. Heroic examples do exist, though you can still expect the character to fit sexualized archetypes like a Heroic Seductress, a Femme Fatale, or an Ice Queen.

Due to the whip's historical use as a tool of ranching and equestrianism, characters who exert control of animals, monsters, Beast of Battle, Mons, and other creatures also commonly wield whips, to symbolize their dominance and mastery over the creatures they control. Common archetypes are The Beastmaster, a Dragon Tamer, The Minion Master, or someone with Summon Magic. While the usage of whips on beasts is often a sign of Bad People Abuse Animals, not all whip-wielding tamers have this association and they can be portrayed sympathetically, even being a Fluffy Tamer or Animal Lover. Showing the tamer use the whip not as a punishment tool, but by using the sound of the whip cracking as a way to give the beast commands is a common way to portray this in a sympathetic light. Often this control is exaggerated with the tamer being able to give complex commands via the whip that would be impossible for any actual tamer to do, and occasionally the whip will have actual supernatural abilities to explain this level of control.

More exaggerated and comical examples are when teachers, trainers, or mentors are shown to wield whips to symbolize their harshness in their disciplinary duties, making the saying "whip something/someone into shape" quite literal. Unusually occurs with strict archetypes like a Drill Sergeant Nasty, a Sadistic Teacher, a Scary Librarian, or a Stern Teacher.

On account of its heavy symbology, the very act of carrying a whip can be used for characterization, as it is commonly used as just a tool or ceremonial item. The meaning may also change depending on the type of whip, a riding crop tends to be more symbolic or used just as a ceremonial prop while something like a Cat o' nine tails has more sinister implications. However in fiction whip-wielders are often actually extremely skilled at using them in actual combat, sometimes even being a weapon they specialize in using, often for purposes of Weapon-Based Characterization. Some popular unrealistic tricks are having the whip do Instant Knots or perform Building Swing with them. The whips may even be customized to be more effective, such as adding thorns, hooks, spikes, or even elements. For weaponized versions of whips with their own tropes see Whip Sword, Lightning Lash, Snake Whip, and Vine Tentacles.

Sometimes the whip can also have actual powers that reflect its symbology, such as being struck by a whip causing a Damage-Increasing Debuff, the weapon having a Charm Person or Supernatural Fear Inducer effect, or making the domination aspect of whips literal by having the whip be an actual Mind-Control Device.

See Improbable Weapon User for a normal whip being used in combat. See A Taste of the Lash for a character enduring a flogging. See Staff of Authority for when staffs at a symbol of office and rank. See Don't Make Me Take My Belt Off! for when a belt is used like a whip for disciplinary purposes. See Multipurpose Tongue and Prehensile Hair for when tongue or hair are used as whips. Has some crossover with Stock Wushu Weapons, thanks to whips being used in ancient China both as weapons of war and (more commonly) as badges of office for battlefield commanders that they would use to signal orders to their troops. In wuxia, a colourful horsehair whip indicates The Strategist, while a segmented metal whip indicates a particularly talented Frontline General.

The quote actually inspired the catchy Villain Song in the The Return of the King animated film called "Where There's a Whip, There's a Way".

And she definitely enjoys fighting as much as her brothers.

It's a fitting weapon for Zhenji given she's often characterized as an Ice Queen and a domineering Dragon Lady. However, it's much less fitting for Diaochan who has a demure personality and is a Reluctant Warrior. Cai Wenji is also able to wield the chain whip in Dynasty Warriors 9, seemingly as part of her new Hotter and Sexier design, but her personality still remains that of a kind and compassionate woman, making the domineering whip moveset look unfitting for her.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake: Chocobo Sam has a training whip coiled at his waist, which he never uses, being solely meant to reinforce his status as a Chocobo rancher. An optional sidequest also shows he's not a cruel rancher and he actually does care about his birds as he hires the party to track down a few that got lost.
    • Final Fantasy VIII: Subverted. Quistiss' specializes in wielding whips in combat, but while she's an instructor who values discipline and is famous for her sex appeal, she's known for not being that strict as an instructor and she does not have a domineering appearance or personality, being popular merely due to her good looks and talent.

Come StarCraft II, he's rebuilt his rebels into the Terran Dominion, which has an emblem that is clearly inspired by the earlier whip emblem, but more stylized so it looks more like an abstract shape, though still utilizing Red and Black Totalitarianism.
  • Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity: Big Bad Nebula is a whip-wielding villainess who wears a Stripperiffic leather outfit and is a Misanthrope Supreme with a cruel and imposing personality, often demeaning and insulting everyone around her. She tells others to submit to her when she lashes at them with her whip, and her special attacks animation has her tightening the whip in an intimidating fashion.
  • Street Fighter: Poison started out as a mook in Final Fight and always had a sexualized Dominatrix motif, with her Stripperiffic attire and Commissar Cap. To really hammer in that motif, she gained a whip for one move in Final Fight Revenge ever since then, wielding a whip became a iconic part of her character. When she made her Street Fighter debut in Street Fighter X Tekken and Street Fighter IV, her full-length whip was changed into a riding crop, and it was heavily incorporated into her fighting style, including her ultra combo having her deliver a Kinky Spanking to her opponent with the riding crop. In Street Fighter V, she traded the riding crop for a full-length bullwhip yet again, but mostly used in the same manner as the riding crop.
  • Streets of Rage: Every game has a Dominatrix villainess that fights with a whip. 1 and 4 have Nora while 2 and 3 have Electra, and they each have many Palette Swaps. Nora has a more military-inspired design thanks to her Commissar Cap while Electra has a more stereotypical dominatrix outfit and wields a Lightning Lash. 4 actually gives Nora whip a mechanic overhaul to make her more of a Flunky Boss & Mook Lieutenant, as she can actually buff and heal other Mooks by hitting on them with her whip.
  • Suikoden II: Badeaux is an expert animal tamer who wields a whip in combat to denote his control of beasts. It's not treated as his being cruel to animals, and he actually gets along with them better than with people, which is why he's a Hermit Guru.
  • Super Robot Wars: Saphine from Masou Kishin has a Dominatrix/Sadomasochist motif, which is complemented by her Ace Custom Wizoll/Wizoll having a custom whip attack called "Rose Cutter". It's heavily implied she gets turned on while using it.
  • Tactics Ogre:
    • The Beast Tamers & Dragon Tamer classes are the only generic class that can have whips as the preferred weapon. The whips themselves are merely symbolic of the tamer status and have no particular ability that helps them control their beasts, nor are they characterized as cruel for wielding the whips.
    • Whips are her iconic weapon of Knight Commander Ozma, a Blue Blood Lady of War with a arrogant and domineering attitude. Notably her custom whip can inflict charm on those struck and her unique finishing move is a flurry of whip lashes that will always inflict charm on targets (as long as they're not immune to it, such as most bosses), making her whip a weapon that can literally dominate others.
  • Tales Series:
  • Team Fortress 2: The Soldier can unlock a riding crop, the Disciplinary Action, as a melee weapon. It does less damage than most other melee weapons, but if a Soldier whips his teammate with it (which deals no damage), both he and the teammate will receive a temporary speed boost. Another quirk is that the weapon's hitbox is coded to have a longer reach than a melee sword, but only against enemies directly behind the Soldier, potentially leading to the Soldier slapping down a Spy's Back Stab with an Offhand Backhand.
  • In Terraria, whips are associated with the Summoner playstyle, allowing the player to better control their summoned creatures. Whipped enemies are afflicted with a debuff that makes them take extra damage from summons, and the summons will focus their attacks on the last enemy you whipped.
  • Tokyo Afterschool Summoners:
    • Bael wields a stylized riding crop, which illustrates his true authoritarian nature and his sadism.
    • Hakumen is an aggressive whip-toting Asian Fox Spirit with a dominant personality who wants to form a harem of people who worship her. She frequently uses her whip on her servants, particularly her bodyguard Xolotl, when she is displeased. Further emphasizing this is her Valentine's variant, which puts her in a leather jail warden outfit.
  • Trails Series:
  • Under Night In-Birth: Phonon's weapon of choice is a whip, which transforms from her pet snake, fitting with her domineering personality and tendency to look down on others. During Hollow Night she plays it up even more when she explicitly styles herself as a sadistic Dominatrix.
  • Valkyria Chronicles III: Leila Peron always has a riding crop on her and is a strict and domineering woman who calls herself "Queen". She wants to discipline and educate the Gallian soldiers, which got her in trouble because she has this attitude even towards her superiors. Many of the men in her unit end up being lashed by her, though Alfons Auclair is her most common whipping boy, and he doesn't seem to mind it.
  • Vendetta (1991): The female enemy mooks have a Dominatrix motif and use whips as their weapon. Beat them down and you can take their weapon of choice for your own use.
  • Warframe: Khora, a dominatrix-like beastmaster Warframe, can command living metal like a whip, which serves to symbolically reinforce her command over her Kavat companion Venari and her own Dominatrix motif as she uses her living whips to both to attack enemies with her Whipclaw ability and restrain them with Ensnare.
  • We Happy Few: Victoria Byng is the duty-obsessed Director of the Department of Archives at City Hall and is something of a Control Freak. She is frequently carrying a whip with her, as a visual symbol of her 'duty' motif, and as her DLC "We All Fall Down" shows, she's very adept at actually using it in combat.
  • Wizardry: You acquire the first bullwhip in Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge by looting it from the Queen's secret compartment, along with the Studded Leather Bra +2 (yes, it's exactly what it sounds like, and the narrator sputters as he describes it).
  • The Wonderful 101: Wonder-Pink is the team's whip-wielder, a spiked whip she calls "Beautiful Whip", which forms the basis of the Unite Whip power, which is a fitting weapon for her as she's a Sensual Slavs with strong Dominatrix undertones thanks to her aggressive and overbearing personality, constantly talks about wanting to deal out "punishments" and having Combat Sadomasochist tendencies. Green in particular tends to be her whipping boy when he sets her off and one failed QTE even has her stomping the camera in anger. She's even nicknamed "The Queen of Rage".
  • World of Warcraft:
    • The Succubi and Incubi demons are frequently shown carrying whips to illustrate their nature as aggressive seducers with a Dominatrix nature and are appropriately dressed in bondage-themed gear. They even have an animation where they use their whips to smack their thigh in a flirtatious manner.
    • The Flunky Boss Hakkar the Houndmaster is a Fel Demon who wields a magical whip that he uses both as a weapon and to summon and command his felhounds in battle.
  • Ys SEVEN Altago's official executioner Ursa is a sadistic and domineering woman who prefers a whip as her personal weapon. She is also in charge of capturing and taming monsters, which she does with her whip. The coliseum, where she resides, is even described as a place of gratuitous whipping.

  • Black Label: Meg, a dominatrix, discusses this trope in one strip. While she keeps a whip on her, it is only for the sake of atmosphere. And being the good domme that she is, she refuses to actually use it as she finds it too dangerous outside of it just being a prop.
  • Chitra: Played with. In Chapter 12, Chitra pulls the 3-star item "Holy Priestess Leather Whip", a magical item that once belonged to the Goddess of Domination. It grants her the ability to buff an ally's stats or decrease an enemy's stats whenever she lands a hit. Despite her initial reluctance to use the item (not wanting to look like a Dominatrix and all), Radelk insisted that she learn how to use it if only for self-defense. Several dozen chapters later, her training leads to Chitra becoming proficient at using the whip in limited combat. She also uses its stat-boosting effects in training/ socializing the feral elvish twins Green and Gray — gently tapping them with the lash at the end of the whip is enough to impart the ally-buffing effects.
  • Collar 6:
    • Mistress Sixx wields a riding cop as her primary weapon and is the Dominatrix protagonist of the story, as one of the heads of the "Global Dominance Association". She even refers to her employers as her "slaves".
    • Mistress Sardonyx is also armed with a riding crop and is a Dominatrix with an equestrian motif, being able to use her whip to tame other doms, literally turning them into ponies.
  • Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures: Head combat instructor Quill has a domineering persona and is skilled with a whip, and she's shown to like using on her lover Jacob for kinky reasons while Dressed Like a Dominatrix.
  • Erfworld: At first, the reader is led to believe Wanda's "hobbies" is simply playing the role of a Torture Technician when she visits the captured Jillian in the dungeon, and Stanley seems to believe the same. But it's soon made clear that Wanda and Jillian just have an odd BDSM-fueled relationship, which just happens to involve Wanda dressing in a bondage-themed outfit and whipping the submissive and captive Jillian with a cat-o-nine-tails while faux interrogating her and their dialogue implies these whipping sessions are a regular thing. The mook guarding the door outside even notes that the screams he heard were not pleas for mercy. It's later revealed that Wanda is using these whipping sessions to secretly manipulate and control Jillian via More than Mind Control methods.
  • Girl Genius: Tarvek's grandma Terebithia is a stern Evil Matriarch who has quite the reputation for using a whip. When she talks to Tarvek about whipping her servants into shape, she makes it clear it's not just an expression when she says she can't do it as well anymore because "her shoulders aren't what they used to be". She also implies she used her whip on her husband for kinky reasons, much to Tarvek's distress.
  • Homestuck: The signature weapon of Snowman, one of the leaders of the Felt criminal gang and the deposed Black Queen of Derse, is a long bullwhip. She's a cold and domineering figure, and in her confrontations with the rival gang leader Spades Slick, she typically seeks to maim or humiliate him, such as by casually putting out his eye or by tearing off his arm with her whip, instead of trying to kill him for good, as she's ultimately more interested in keeping up her dominance games.
  • Metacarpolis: Cecily Crane is the haughty and domineering CEO of Doomcorps and she's often seen carrying a riding crop or an actual whip, as a visual illustration of her personality. Her ex-boyfriend Max also heavily implies she was a Dominatrix to him when they were together.
  • Noblesse:
    • Dr. Aris is a Cute and Psycho scientist with a very demanding and overbearing personality who doesn't admit anyone disobeying or criticizing her orders. Apropprietly, she's skilled at fighting with whips, with her nano-suit even coming equipped with two Lightning Lash and she becomes even more sadistic and domineering when she wields them in battle.
    • Ignes Kravei's soul weapon is a whip, fitting her haughty, egocentric, and domineering personality and her supremacist goals.
  • Pastamonsters: Zalgo's forces wield whips which they use to control and order around slaves, and they take sadistic joy in doing it.
  • Spinnerette: Evil Spinnerette is a whip-totting domineering supervillainess, as fitting since In-Universe she's based on a Lolth priestess from Dungeons & Dragons.
