"Plover gambit" or "killdeer gambit" would be equally effective terms. (The first is a family of shorebird that does this to distract predators from its young. The second is a specific species of plover especially famous for it.)

Can you use Mio from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon as an example??? She pulled this ploy on Mamarou then again on Minako to make her look bad to her fans especially Usagi.
