* ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'': {{Deconstruct|ion}}ed with Claire. She's a member of the popular clique at school, but she has a FreudianExcuse as to why she acts the ways she does -- her parents are using Claire as a way to get back at each other, which Claire is painfully aware of. Also, Claire's not really the one in charge of this clique, and she feels miserably forced into the behavior she is so notorious for. As a result, Claire is constantly unhappy, since she can't find respite at home and has to put on a mask at school. In fact, Claire bitterly notes at the movie's end that it's likely she'll never talk to anybody in the Breakfast Club again due to needing to maintain her social status.

Of course, in the film itself, she's considerably nicer to a nerd like Brian and even tells him there's nothing to be ashamed of if he's still a virgin at 16.



%%* ''Film/CruelIntentions'': Kathryn.

to:

%%* * ''Film/CruelIntentions'': Kathryn.The film is a high school SettingUpdate of ''Literature/DangerousLiaisons'', so Merteul's counterpart is Kathryn, who is a RichBitch but also something of a BitchInSheepsClothing.



* Stacy from the 2003 version of ''[[Film/FreakyFriday2003 Freaky Friday]]''.

to:

* ''Film/TheFinal'' has a trio of popular girls who bully the Goth girl Emily. Heather appears to be the leader, since she walks in the middle, and is the sluttiest, happily helping Tommy cheat on Nadia.
* Stacy from the 2003 version of ''[[Film/FreakyFriday2003 Freaky Friday]]''. She and Anna [[FormerFriendOfAlphaBitch used to be friends]], and Tess refusing to believe that Stacy is now a vicious bully is used to show how out of touch she is with her daughter's life.



%%* ''Film/TheHole'': Frankie, [[spoiler:or so she's presented in the first version of Liz's story anyway, and Liz is far from being a reliable narrator]].

to:

%%* * ''Film/TheHole'': Frankie, [[spoiler:or so she's presented in the first version of Liz's story anyway, presents Frankie as a typical Queen Bee with a GirlPosse that follow her around, and is particularly vapid and ditzy, but still quite nice to Liz because she does her homework for her. [[spoiler: The truth is far from being a reliable narrator]].that Liz herself is one, and Frankie is arguably her BetaBitch]].



* ''{{Film/Jawbreaker}}'': After the LovableAlphaBitch Liz is killed, Courtney takes charge and becomes the school's head mean girl, ostracising Julie and later Vylette/Fern after she threatens her popularity. The narration describes her as "Satan in heels". [[spoiler: On learning that she killed Liz, the entire school turns against her and throw things at her on stage at the prom]].



* Jennifer Check, the titular villain in ''Film/JennifersBody''. She's a popular [[CruelCheerleader cheerleader]] who's also a massive bitch to everyone except Needy, her BFF since childhood who she's [[PseudoRomanticFriendship secretly crushing on]]. The other students consider her "evil", while guys trip over themselves to impress her. And this is ''before'' she gets [[DemonicPossession possessed by a demon]] and turns into a man-eating [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]]. Afterward, not even Needy is safe, as Jennifer gleefully reminds her that she goes both ways.
