History Main / PsychoLesbian

** I don't think Imperium actually encourages holding Commissars at gunpoint or wandering to rival all-male regiment's mess hall to deliver CurbStompBattle to a regiment's HtH champion. Magot was also described as "cheerfully sociopathic" by Cain and her driving style was [[HypocriticalHumor deemed too dangerous by Jurgen.]]

* 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 JackTheRipper.

* Kagari from ''Anime/BlackRockShooter''. [[spoiler:A pure example for the first two episodes of the series, with her crush on Yomi Takanashi]]

* Shirai Kuroko from ''[[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'' and ''[[Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]''. However unlike most examples, Kuroko is a ''heroic'' use of this character type, who spends half her time stalking/fondling/trying to seduce her Mikoto-{{oneesama}} and the other half being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure [=/=] LittleMissBadass.
* From ''MahouSenseiNegima'', we have secondary villain Tsukuyomi. 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 it gets more explicit. 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.

* Evan Hunter's novel ''Lizzie'' (1984) portrays Lizzie Borden 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 of this historical event, ''Lizzie Borden'' (1990) by Elizabeth Engstrom, has the title character in an incestuous relation with her father and sharing a bisexual lover with him.

** Kosame's lust for Kirie is played up [[GirlOnGirlIsHot for fanservice]] and [[BlackComedyRape as comedy]]. Particularly during the mudwrestling competition and a later episode where she chases Kiriei around the house, while calling her [[BigSisterAttraction "big sister".]]

* Played for laughs with Anna from ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster''.

* Mylanda Arker Walder from ''Anime/BattleAthletes''.

* B-Ko Daitokuji from ''Anime/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." [=OAVs=] is nothing like her, and is even on fairly good terms with her dimension's version of A-ko.

* ''Manga/GirlsBravo'':
** Kosame's lust for Kirie is played up [[GirlOnGirlIsHot for fanservice]] and [[BlackComedyRape as comedy]]. Particularly during the mudwrestling competition and a later episode where she chases Kiriei around the house, while calling her [[BigSisterAttraction "big sister".]]

* Yoko from ''Hana no Asuka-gumi''.
* Mika from ''Anime/KyoshiroToTowaNoSora''.

* Kosame in ''Manga/GirlsBravo''. Her actions towards Kirie are played up [[BlackComedyRape as comedy]].

* [[spoiler:Ktarka Zamlon Torin]] in ''Beyond Varallan'' (2000), the 2nd book in S.L. Viehl's ''Stardoc'' series, is 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...]]

* Nina Sayers from ''Film/BlackSwan'' (2010) 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.

* Missy from ''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, [[FoeYay whom she claims to despise]] and, well.

* Corporal Mari Magot of [[CiaphasCain the Valhallan 597th]] is an arguable example; she's unquestionably both lesbian and [[BloodKnight crazy]], but then this is [[CrapsackWorld the Imperium of Man]], and a certain amount of AxCrazy [[AbsoluteXenophobe Absolute Xenophobia]] is expected and even encouraged of guardsmen. Her girlfriend, Sgt. Grifen, is [[SergeantRock not any nicer, but much more professional]].

* 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.

* 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).

* Madame de 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.

* An early example, from 1895, is Mary Wilkins Freeman's story "The Long Arm" (probably inspired by the sensationalistic media coverage of the Mitchell/Ward murder case in 1892). Here, Phoebe Dole, a terrifying, powerful, manipulative woman, has been maintaining another woman in subjection for years, and when this woman finally takes steps to leave her for a man, Phoebe bloodily [[MurderTheHypotenuse murders the hypotenuse]], pinning the crime with diabolical cleverness on an innocent party. She attempts to justify her crime (in a VillainousBreakdown) by saying that she's defending her domestic happiness, but this "happiness" is presented as perverted. She's described as physically monstrous as well as morally — she's the one with the abnormally "long arm" of the title — as one critic put it, "a desperate figure of lesbian evil, a hypocritical, sick, self-absorbed carnivorous flower."

* Roxy from ''Film/BasicInstinct'' (1992).
* Hedy Carlson from ''Film/SingleWhiteFemale'' (1992).

* Barbara from ''NotesOnAScandal'' (2006).

* Lydia Hart on ''{{Hollyoaks}}''. After being dumped by Sarah, she sent dead flowers to herself pretending they were from her ex-girlfriend Charlotte, making Sarah get back together with her out of pity. Not long after that she tried to murder her love rival Zoe during a skydiving holiday by sabotaging her parachute, but the parachutes were handed out in a random order and Sarah was killed instead.

* Subverted with [[VillainousHarlequin Harley Quinn]] and [[PlantPerson Poison Ivy]] in [[Franchise/TheDCU DC Comics]]. Their relationship with each other is probably the sanest either of them has.

* The CiaphasCain series has two of these as a couple. Since both are loyal Guardswomen, the rest of the cast happily point them at the enemy and quietly clear up the paperwork they generate.
