* Lyn "Laeil" Burbank of 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 anyways, 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 forementioned 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.

Adding Evil Janeway from Voyager.

Added DiffLines:

* In the "Living Witness" episode of "Series/{{Star Trek: Voyager}}, where the Kyrians misremember Our Heroes as brutal and sadistic mercenaries, Janeway's evil alter ego is depicted as unfeminine and domineering. This is emphasized by black leather gloves and a short butchy hairdo (in contrast to the character's usual flowing locks).

There may be a lesbian subtext, but there\'s no lesbian text. Canonically, she is a straight psycho.


* SerialKiller Catherine in ''Black Widow'' (1987). Though she seduces, marries and murders wealthy men (ostensibly for their money, but long past the point where she would already be rich) there's a definite lesbian subtext with the female Justice agent pursuing her.



* Jennifer from ''Film/JennifersBody'' (2009) can be interpreted as being romantically attracted to her best friend [[HollywoodHomely Needy]]. When she becomes possessed by a demon and starts eating people, she specifically targets boys who Needy likes or loves.

* Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren from the Netflix original series ''Orange is the New Black'' 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.

* In ''Film/{{Matilda}}'', the Big Bad is a sadistically evil, authoritarian, and athletic monster of a headmistress named Trunchbull. In one scene, schoolchildren in a spelling lesson chant letters with the word "Mrs." added to set the rhythm: "Mrs. D, Mrs. I, Mrs. FFI..." the Trunchbull bursts out, with an annoyed expression, "Why are all these women married?!" The "bull" in the name Trunchbull probably implies "bull dyke," a common derogatory term for lesbians.

** She's butch and unmarried so she must be a lesbian?
* Nina Sayers from ''BlackSwan'' 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 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.

* Nearly every major lesbian/bisexual female character in Marvel continuity has been assigned some degree of mental instability. The bisexual Skein, for instance, married an older man and then killed him for his money; Man-Killer/Amazon used to be a man-hating militant feminist; Mulholland Black went so crazy [[spoiler:that her own teammates put her down]], etc. Even the ones without criminal pasts have been portrayed as less than fully sane; The ''Loners'' miniseries portrayed bisexual Lightspeed as being the superhero equivalent of a grown-up child star, with all the attendant mental baggage, while the lesbian Karolina Dean is bipolar, according to the Marvel Handbooks.

->''"[[GirlsBravo Oh! You can pile-drive me next Miss Kirie!"]]''

For years, an unfortunate cocktail of censorship and bigotry rendered all lesbian characters on screen exclusively psychotic and villainous. HaysCode-era requirements that villainous and controversial characters be suitably punished meant that such characters [[BuryYourGays would almost inevitably be toast]] before the credits rolled - and this convention has persisted long after the demise of the Code itself.

* Yuki, from "Webcomic/MenageA3". Not only does she have a brain disorder where she sees all male sex organs as "Naughty Tentacles", but she has repeatedly attacked said "Naughty Tentacles" ''with the intent of utterly destroying them''. She constantly turns the protagonist Gary's life into a living hell, forcing him to make out with his gay roommate and blackmailing him into helping her illustrate a manga. Yuki seems to be inching toward bi in recent strips, though, and has become ''somewhat'' friendlier.

* B-Ko Daitokuji from ''ProjectAKo'' is a textbook example. While she is never explicitly called a lesbian, her affection for C-Ko clearly goes way beyond "pure affection," and sends her into increasingly over-the-top jealous rages against A-Ko, eventually involving military-grade weaponry and an invading alien armada (even though A-Ko and C-Ko's friendship is clearly only platonic, a point which is utterly lost on B-Ko.) For their part, A-Ko and C-Ko's relentless failure to acknowledge or even notice B-Ko's crush is probably a contributing factor in B-Ko's rage spiral. By the last two movies in the original setting, though, she could be called a "Psycho Bisexual", as she immediately "falls in love" with the same handsome biker that A-ko has her heart set on. That could just be her taking rivalry to the extreme, and/or reflect her intense envy of A-ko. Ironically, her dimensional counterpart in the "Vs."

* Reimi from ''BambooBlade'' has [[StalkerWithACrush stalked]] 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.

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.

You'll still be psychotic, though. Jeanette Voerman is also a Malkavian, and is as such psychotic, and would appear to be bi-, or perhaps [[AnythingThatMoves omni-sexual]].



* ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' offers a rare ''mutual'' example with 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 nontheless.

to:

* ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' Sousou from ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou'' is a borderline case. Sure, she gets presented [[JerkassFacade relatively sympathetically]] as the series progresses, 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.
* DarkActionGirl [[VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno Drei]] [[spoiler: rapes Mio]] with a gun.
* [[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.

* In Chloe's web comic ''GoGetARoomie'', "Roomie" of the title appears to manifest this trope: technically homeless, but playing on her charm and good looks to obtain rent-free stays with a string of lovers, taking them for granted for everything until she gets bored and moves on, generally wearing stolen clothes and with whatever money she can scoop up on the way out. It is only way into the series that it is revealed she does have feelings for others and a conscience, but the Roomie of the early strips is a heartbreaking conscienceless psychopath.

* In ''YuMeDream'' Sadako is a pretty perfect example. That being said, [[CastFullOfGay other characters]] provide more positive depictions of homosexuality and bisexuality.

* One of [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Vanessa's]] exes in ''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."
* Yuki, from "MenageA3". Not only does she have a brain disorder where she sees all male sex organs as "Naughty Tentacles", but she has repeatedly attacked said "Naughty Tentacles" ''with the intent of utterly destroying them''. She constantly turns the protagonist Gary's life into a living hell, forcing him to make out with his gay roommate and blackmailing him into helping her illustrate a manga. Yuki seems to be inching toward bi in recent strips, though, and has become ''somewhat'' friendlier.
* Chi, Aku's daughter in ''GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', [[StakerWithACrush specifically towards Mimi]].

* DiamandaHagan. PlayedForLaughs.
* Lyn "Laeil" Burbank of ''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 anyways, and that she was going to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge get revenge on everyone who ever bullied her]].
** Reiko Ishida in version 4 likely qualifies as well, rather quickly abandoning any pretense of possessing a conscience. Her sexuality and sociopathy seem largely unrelated, however. In fact, in a way it's subverted; she seems to genuinely care for her girlfriend Sarah Xu, and after a bit of CharacterDevelopment starts to be concerned about what she thinks of her actions.

* 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.

* A one shot yuri manga by the name of ''Rapunzel'' turns it UpToEleven with 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 [[SerialEscalation 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 others hands in the conclusion.
