History Main / TinyTyrannicalGirl

Often justified by having her be a [[RoyalBrat spoiled rich kid or even royalty]]. Other times, she's just the only daughter in a family full of males, and her older brothers [[SpoiledBrat spoil her immensely]]. At others, she's a mostly normal girl but either has a serious lack of social skills or is scared of being steamrolled by taller/older/etc. people, so she covers up her insecurities with aggressive behavior. She's usually pre-puberty age, but sometimes it can creep up into the teen years. There's a good chance when someone acts bossy and aggressive to ''them'', [[{{Hypocrite}} she'll hate being so without a hint of self-awareness]]. It's possible for her to have character development and learn either humility or wisdom, but other times she'll never learn.

* Sarah from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', who is one of the most violent kids in the Cul-de-sac (her older brother is absolutely terrified of her), and about the second smallest overall.

* Jane Turner from ''Anime/OnegaiSamiaDon'' had more than one inkling of this, being small and pudgy but very stubborn and prone to tantrums when things didn't go her way... which always [[WhydidItHaveToBeSnakes sent the Psammead into fits]] since [[KillItWithWater her tears could potentially kill him.]]

* ''Fanfic/Danganronpa52DespairFromTheHeart'': Rikona is about the size of a third-grader and acts like a spoiled princess, attempting to order the other students around and calling everyone a peasant.

* Amy Rose from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' is sometimes portrayed as a BrattyHalfPint who throws temper tantrums and whacks people with her mallet when they irritate her. [[CharacterDevelopment she's grown out of this in recent years, though]].

* Teruko Okura from ''Anime/BungoStrayDogs'' is the {{Fiery Redhead}} vice captain of the Hunting Dogs with a childlike appearance, infamously known for intimidating her opponents with bloodlust and violent tendencies, earning her nickname as the "Queen of Bloody Thorns." In terms of combat, her ability, Gasp of the Soul, allows Teruko to manipulate age on anyone she touches, which is the big reason why she is feared by her allies and enemies alike.

* ''VideoGame/BlueArchive'': Clocking in at 4 foot 7 is Sorasaki Hina, TheLeader of the Prefect Team and their [[RankScalesWithAsskicking strongest member]], with such an iron grip on her subordinates that her NumberTwo and OverzealousUnderling Ako only has the nerve to act on her own and unsanctioned when Hina is away on business. Even then, she ''completely'' loses her nerve the moment Hina returns to 'politely' ask where she and what she's doing, with Hina being ''very'' quick to put a stop to Ako's unsanctioned mission the moment she realises what's going on.

* ''Literature/TheTwelveKingdoms'' has Shushou, Empress of Kyou. Once the spoiled but also determined daughter of a rich merchant, she decided to save her run-down country by making the dangerous pilgrimage needed to see if she had what it took to become the Queen. Not only she turned out to be the real deal, but she has reigned very wisely and shrewdly over her lands -- yet none woulde guess it upon seeing the orders come from a tiny, bossy, still spoiled girl in frilly clothes.

* The first request of ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'''s titular character to Kinji is to become her slave. She later orders the same thing to Shirayuki, and sometimes talks about how she has to "train" them. Don't try to disobey, or [[CatchPhrase she'll make you full of airholes.]] She also gets ''very'' jealous whenever Kinji gets too close to another girl.
* Louise from ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' is super-aggressive, prone to violent outbursts, and fond of physical abuse, near-exclusively towards her familiar Saito. She's also very short and CompensatingForSomething, namely her ACupAngst.

* Dalian from ''Literature/TheMysticArchivesOfDantalian'' appears to be shaping up to be this, ordering Huey around like he's a servant, or she's a little girl he should be doing everything for, though she's a more subdued example.
* Ikkyu Tensai from ''Literature/NananasBuriedTreasure'' is a combination of this trope and SherlockHomage. While she has a tendency to boss other people around, it manifests most often when she's trying to [[InsufferableGenius show off her genius]].

* ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'': Known around school as the "Palmtop Tiger" for her short, "doll-like" body and violent disposition, Taiga Aisaka is truly a force to reckon with, despite standing only 4'9". She also happens to be a walking [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of the trope -- her stature [[ACupAngst and lack of curves]] badly screw up her sense of self-worth, thus [[TheNapoleon her aggressive approach to other people]] (which is combined with [[NoSocialSkills other]] [[ParentalAbandonment factors]]) turns her into a kid with [[BrokenBird deep emotional scars]].

* Ikkyu Tensai from ''LightNovel/NananasBuriedTreasure'' is a combination of this trope and SherlockHomage. While she has a tendency to boss other people around, it manifests most often when she's trying to [[InsufferableGenius show off her genius]].

* Etna from ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', a [[WeAreAsMayflies relatively young]] demon, is an abusive BadBoss to Prinnies, particularly in their spinoff series ''VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero''.
** Raspberyl from Disgaea 3 is about four feet tall, but also the school's most feared delinquent, capable of terrorizing demons far larger than her...into [[NobleDemon picking up litter and donating blood]].

* LittleMissSnarker Nah from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' is the shortest and among the youngest of the [[spoiler: Future Children]] group, and despite being a good person at heart, due to several insecurities and issues [[spoiler: that come from her and her friends growing up in a CrapsackWorld]] she can also be very awkward, bossy and pushy. [[NeverLiveItDown Even when her behavior goes to the extreme only in ONE of her support talks, fandom sees her as if she was a bitch to EVERYONE all the time.]]

* Louise from ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'' is super-aggressive, prone to violent outbursts, and fond of physical abuse, near-exclusively towards her familiar Saito. She's also very short and CompensatingForSomething, namely her ACupAngst.

* Tatsumaki (Tornado) from ''Anime/OnePunchMan''. Only problems? She's 28, the older of two sisters and the second-best hero around. She believes she's [[BigSisterInstinct compensating for her younger sister]], Fubuki (Blizzard), but Fubuki is quite capable in her own right.

Compare TheNapoleon and BrattyHalfPint. A [[DistaffCounterpart gender-bent]] version could also be TinySchoolboy, but there are nicer forms of the character as well. The ShanaClone archetype is a notable subtrope.
