History Main / PsychoLesbian

** [[{{Kitsune}} Akari Oborodzuka]] of the Fox's Story/Onibi Series song series by MASA Works Design is one.

* Averted in ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'' (2014). Although Joss is a hitwoman who feels no remorse at all, with her only real feelings being to her female lovers, nothing implies a cause and effect relationship between her being a murderer and a lesbian. Her relationships with women are probably the most humanizing thing about her.
* 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'' (1984) 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. Another novelization, ''Lizzie Borden'' (1990) by Elizabeth Engstrom, has the title character in an incestuous relation with her father and sharing a bisexual lover with him.

* 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/TheOrder 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.

* [[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, rejects 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.

* 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]].
* An episode of ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' had a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot psycho lesbian from]] [[RecycledINSPACE space]].

* 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.
--> '''Reagan:''' You stuck around, and you helped me lie to a psychotic woman who is now destroying all of my stuff.
%%* "[[ButchLesbian Daddy]]" from ''Series/PrisonBreak: The Final Break''.
* 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.
* The Pink and Yellow Psycho Rangers come off as this in an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
* 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.]]
* Several in the first two seasons of ''Series/{{NCIS}}''. Since the second season ended, their problem with Psycho Lesbians seems to have disappeared:
** 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.
** 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.
* ''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.']]

* Several characters of ''Series/CuteyHoneyTheLive''. 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.
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': Tina Greer, Lana's only lesbian StalkerWithACrush of the Week.
* "Somebody's Watching," an early episode of ''Series/CriminalMinds'', had [[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.
%% * The murderer in one of the season 5 ''Series/{{Psych}}'' episodes.

* 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.
* 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.]]
%%* Another example from the 1970s: Franky in ''Series/PrisonerCellBlockH''.
* 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.
* [[spoiler: Teased but ultimately averted]] in the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' 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]].
* 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.
* ''Series/OrangeIsTheNewBlack'':
** 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.
** 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.
** 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.
* 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]].
* ''Series/NYPDBlue'':
** 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.
** 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.
* 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.
* 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.]]

* 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.]]
* 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.
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'': A season 1 Victim of the Week 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).

* Villanelle from ''Series/KillingEve'', a ruthless sociopathic assassin. [[spoiler: Her backstory involves killing her girlfriend's husband to [[MurderTheHypotenuse get rid of him]] too.]]
* ''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.
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': Ruthless Rear Admiral Helena Cain is revealed to have been in a relationship with Cylon infiltrator Gina Six during "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.
* The episode "The Harem" from ''Series/TheBlacklist'' 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.

* The main character of ''Manga/LookingUpToMagicalGirls'', Utena Hiiragi is an odd case as she is normally a very nice if 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.

* ''LightNovel/BenTo'': Ume has a [[PsychoLesbian very big crush]] on her classmate, Oshiroi, to the point where [[ClingyJealousGirl she not only attacks anyone who even looks at her,]] but will [[StalkerWithACrush frequently stalk]] and kidnap the girl in the middle of the day.

* Eve Harrington from ''Film/AllAboutEve'' is often imagined to be one by {{Fanon}} - due to her obsession with becoming like Margo Channing. Regardless she does try to seduce two men in the movie.

'''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.
-->'''Pym:''' Do you suggest that Miss Nash is not normal?\\
::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.

* [[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.

* Mary Whitaker from the Literature/LordPeterWimsey mystery ''Unnatural Death'' (1927); 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.
* In Junichiro Tanizaki's novel ''Quicksand'' (1928), Sonoko Kakiuchi, a bored, wealthy housewife, is seduced by Mitsuko Tokumitsu, who proceeds to insinuate herself into Sonoko's life and utterly wreck it.
* Subtext in Nella Larsen's ''Literature/{{Passing}}'' (1929). 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.]]
* Mrs. Danvers from Daphne du Maurier's ''Literature/{{Rebecca}}'' (1938) 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.
* In ''Literature/ThatHideousStrength'' (1945) by C. S. Lewis, the Big Bad is an organization that employs, among other baddies, a sadistically fascistic head of security named Miss Hardcastle, who is strongly implied to be lesbian.

'''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.

* One of these features as a villainess in the Literature/JudgeDee novel ''The Chinese Maze Murders'' (1957).
* The first book in Literature/TheBeeboBrinkerChronicles, ''Odd Girl Out'' (1957), 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.
** 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]].
* Creator/AgathaChristie had one of these as the murderer in ''Nemesis'' (1971). The lady couldn't accept her 'protege' leaving her for a man.
* Parodied: In ''Daemon in Lithuania'' (1973), some characters put on a play that contains [[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..."

* Creator/RobertWestall's ''Literature/FuturetrackFive'' (1983) has a mild parody; Dronfield Biological Warfare Research Centre is staffed entirely by female Techs. All of the male Techs believe them to be Psycho Lesbians.
* 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'' (1984) 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. Another novelization, ''Lizzie Borden'' (1990) by Elizabeth Engstrom, has the title character in an incestuous relation with her father and sharing a bisexual lover with him.
* One of the more uncomfortable subplots of Creator/TomClancy's ''[[Literature/JackRyan The Cardinal of the Kremlin]]'' (1988) 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]].
* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' has Galina Casban (introduced in 1994), 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.]]
* [[spoiler: Ruth Vigers]] in ''Affinity'' (1999) by Sarah Waters. [[spoiler: An Evil Mastermind 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.
* [[spoiler:Ktarka Zamlon Torin]] in ''Beyond Varallan'' (2000), the 2nd book in S.L. Viehl's ''Literature/{{Stardoc}}'' series, 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...]]
* Averted: ''Literature/CiaphasCain''[[note]]'''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM'''[[/note]] has 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.
* [[spoiler:DI Jan Shields]] in Val [=McDermid=]'s ''The Torment of Others'' (2006) 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.]]
* Invoked: Lisbeth Salander is portrayed as this by the Conspiracy attempting to discredit her in ''[[Literature/MillenniumSeries The Girl Who Played with Fire]]'' (2006).
* Esme and Liza, [[spoiler: the so-called Beard Killers]], in Alex Grecian's ''The Yard'' (2012). They were DrivenToMadness after Esme was brutally assaulted by UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
* Averted in ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'' (2014). Although Joss is a hitwoman who feels no remorse at all, with her only real feelings being to her female lovers, nothing implies a cause and effect relationship between her being a murderer and a lesbian. Her relationships with women are probably the most humanizing thing about her.

* In ''Daemon in Lithuania'' (1973), some characters put on a play that contains [[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..."

* [[spoiler: Ruth Vigers]] in ''Affinity'' (1999) by Sarah Waters. [[spoiler: An Evil Mastermind 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.]] 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.
** It's also worth remembering that [[spoiler: Selina was an accomplished confidence trickster long before she met Vigers, and only started working with Vigers in the first place because she convinced Vigers' mistress, Mrs. Brink, that she was Mrs. Brink's dead mother reincarnate]]. She only ''seems'' less culpable because [[spoiler: her actions are viewed through her own eyes or Margaret]]'s, and neither is exactly an unbiased observer.

* Lisbeth Salander is portrayed as this by the Conspiracy attempting to discredit her in ''[[Literature/MillenniumSeries The Girl Who Played with Fire]]'' (2006).

* ''Literature/CiaphasCain''[[note]]'''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM'''[[/note]] has a ([[BlackAndGreyMorality relatively]]) heroic example in Corporal Mari Magot, whose most common description from the protagonist is 'cheerfully sociopathic.' She deliberately avoids promotion so she can [[InappropriatelyCloseComrades stay in the same squad as Sergeant Grifen]]. What makes it a heroic example is that she reserves all of her murderous impulses for the enemies her squad faces, and her relationship with Grifen is never portrayed as being abusive or anything but mutual and genuine.
* [[spoiler:Sally Pringsheim]], the BigBad in Tom Sharpe's ''{{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.
* ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'': Joss only seems to be genuinely into women (as opposed to her pretense with her husband). She's also a hitwoman who feels no remorse at all, with her only real feelings being to her female lovers.

* The second season of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' has Mina Hazuki, [[FanNickname a.k.a.]] "Japanese Lesbian Catwoman". 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.

* The episode "The Harem" from ''Series/{{TheBlacklist}}'' 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.

* The episode "The Harem" from ''Series/{{TheBlacklist}}'' 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.

* Missy from ''WebOriginal/TheWarComms''. At first, she was just a lesbian who happened to be a psycho, then a psycho who happened to be a lesbian. Then she started making some suggestive comments about Esmeralda and Trisha, =whom she claims to despise and, well.

* Sister George from ''The Killing of Sister George'' (1968) is pretty unstable and very possessive of her lover. There's also her predatory boss Mercy Croft.

* The episode "The Harem" from "Series/Blacklist" 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.

* 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 [[SchoolgirlLesbians 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.

* ''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".
