History Main / PsychoLesbian

* From ''MahouSenseiNegima'', we have secondary villain Tsukuyomi. [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v06/c052/4.html She starts as a mere]] PunchClockVillain with shades of PsychopathicWomanchild and a crush on her [[SempaiKohai ex-sempai]] Setsuna Sakurazaki, but as time passes, she becomes [[StalkerWithACrush really, *really*, creepily obsessed with Setsuna]]. And also seems to derive sexual pleasure from murder. And... [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v25/c228/13.html well, just LOOK]].
** The previous chapter has a more obvious example [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v25/c227/8.html here]] (where her left hand is halfway down the page doesn't help her case).
** More to the point, she's also probably the only villain in the series who's evil with no AntiVillain tendencies or FreudianExcuse for her actions, which just makes her even creepier than most other bad guys.
** The series also ''avoids'' any UnfortunateImplications about homosexuality because her target Setsuna has been in the TransparentCloset all along, and is one of the most popular, competent and genuinely kind characters.
** It turns she has "interest" in Negi and Fate in addition to her well-known taste for Setsuna (and, to a lesser extent, Konoka and Asuna), making her a DepravedBisexual instead of, or in addition to, this trope.

* Several characters of ''Cutie Honey the Live''. The title character, Honey, is lusted after by another female main character, Yuki. Yuki gets extremely jealous and posessive 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; proceding 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.

* Paragon Branka of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' seems to qualify as this trope. On the other hand, she was married to Oghren, so it is possible that she is a DepravedBisexual.

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' already had what could be considered a [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full Of Lesbians]], some of them going psycho in various moments during the story, but avoided this trope. [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion The sequel]], however, basically tells us the story of how [[spoiler:Homura becomes a {{Yandere}} for Madoka and is willing to, eventually, become the Devil and rewrite the universe just to have Madoka for herself. Against Madoka's will.]]

* ''[[{{Gaiking}} Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu]]'' has [[spoiler: Proist, the BigBad, and the only character in the show who could probably be called more evil than simply self-serving or misguided]]. She's only shown to have affection for her father and for Vestaanu. She is also completely unpredictable, casually [[AMillionIsOnlyAStatistic executing thousands who don't live up to her standards]], and can and will [[HairTriggerTemper fly into a rage at the slightest provocation]].

* 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.

For years, an unfortunate cocktail of censorship and bigotry rendered all lesbian characters on screen exclusively psychotic and villainous. UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode-era requirements that "deviant" characters (and that included all gay characters of either gender) must not be made sympathetic or rewarded 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.

* In ''Daemon in Lithuania'' (1973), some characters put on a play that contains [[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 long cigarette holder. Finally, she tossed it on to the ground, stamped on it, and flung herself on to her frivolous friend's couch, intending to strangle her..."

* Esme and Liza, [[spoiler: the so-called Beard Killers]], in Alex Grecian's ''The Yard.'' They were DrivenToMadness after Esme was brutally assaulted by JackTheRipper.

* In ''Film/{{Matilda}}'', the Big Bad is a sadistically evil, authoritarian, and athletic monster of a headmistress named Trunchbull. In addition to being a [[TheBaroness Baroness]], the work may hint that she's a lesbian (as Baronesses often are): 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.
* Nina Sayers from ''Film/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.
* Miss G from ''Film/{{Cracks}}'' definitely fits this trope. From the start of the film is clear somethings not quite right with her and over the the course of the film she shows many signs of having some sort of mental disorder. Later in the film she becomes obsessed with a female student to the point of actually raping her

* Miss G from ''Film/{{Cracks}}''definitely fits this trope. She manipulates all the girls in her swim team into believing she's seasoned traveler and a good person and shows many signs of some sort of mental disorder. Later in the film she becomes obsessed with a female student to the point of actually raping her

* Purgatori, the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot lesbian vampire demon]] originally created by Brian Pulido as an antagonist for his main {{stripperiffic}} heroine, ComicBook/LadyDeath. She may actually be a DepravedBisexual, having once been Satan's concubine, but all of the (semi-)consensual relationships we've seen have had her with women.

* Chiffon Fairchild from ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'', especially in the [=SpinOff=] Manga ''Freezing: First Chronicle''. To wit, in the first half of the manga: she strips her roommate Ticy and [[SkinshipGrope playfully gropes her breasts]]. It's implied a little later that they went further. In the second half: [[spoiler: She [[CurbStompBattle slaughters]] 50 of her classmates ([[GoodThingYouCanHeal no actual ''deaths'']] but arms and legs fly left and right, nonetheless). The whole time she was muttering about wanting to 'destroy everything' and she is just a muscle reaction away from ''[[KilledOffForReal killing]]'' the 2nd ranked Pandora of her year before Ticy stops her with an [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Speech]]. All this with a [[PsychoticSmirk smile]] on her face.]] Oh and her nickname is [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Monster of West Genetics]].
* 'Cockroach' Oki of Manga/{{Arachnid}} is an interesting case - her psychotic crush on the main character, Alice, actually makes her ''less'' dangerous, and soon results in a HeelFaceTurn. Subsequently, she's still a Psycho Lesbian, but also one of Alice's only friends and most useful allies, thanks to her total lack of ulterior motives beyond getting into our heroine's pants.

* Subverted to a point in ''Manga/CynthiaTheMission''. BigBad Cybele is a cruel, evil sociopath who will has a tendency for cutesyness and being generally cheery and nice when she's not killing. She's also a lesbian, but there's nothing psycho about it.

* Played for laughs with Chizuru Honshou of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''. Two words: [[Funny/{{Bleach}} "Karakura Raizer!"]] She is very disturbed in many ways which is best depicted when she asks what a little girls cup size is.

** There is also Hijiri the kids' teacher who turns out to be working for the series BigBad and after fighting Kirie develops a similar attitude towards her. Before that it's mentioned that Hijiri had been obsessed with Miharu since childhood.

* Goldie Musou from ''Manga/GunsmithCats''.

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.

* 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.
