Mean popular girl/boy

The Alpha Bitch (known as the mean popular girl or queen bee) is a stock character in most TV shows or movies that take place in a high school setting. They're usually portrayed as a teenage girl who is popular among the school, but is often mean and prissy to less popular girls, mostly towards the main female protagonist. She is usually very attractive and often has sidekicks following her everywhere.

Examples

 * Chloé Bourgeois (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir)
 * Chris Hargensen (Carrie)
 * Foxy Loxy (Disney's Chicken Little (2005))
 * Connie D’Amico (Family Guy)
 * Carla and Melanie (Growing Up Creepie)
 * Nina Harper (Braceface)
 * Paige Logan (Grossology)
 * Gale (Angry Birds Stella Toons)

Why This Cliché Sucks

 * 1) It’s basically a carbon copy of the Bully cliché.
 * 2) They’re just there to go up to the main protagonist and bully them for the sake of their characters, serving no purpose other than to pad a scene out.
 * 3) They have no redeeming qualities to them whatsoever, depending on your thoughts.
 * 4) They are more annoying and hateful than hilarious.
 * 5) They don’t have or show any motive or reason to bully the female protagonist, making their vendetta against the main character unjustifiable and unnecessary.
 * 6) What makes their mean-spirited attitude towards the main character more unreasonable is that the main character didn't do anything mean to them, in fact, in some shows like the C-Students pilot and Pixel Pinkie, the main female characters were trying to be nice to them, so that makes the Alpha Bitch's hatred towards the protagonist more pathetic.
 * 7) They get absolutely no character development whatsoever.
 * 8) When these so-called “side antagonists” do serve a purpose, they just cause problems and conflict for the protagonist to get the plot going to the direction that the writer wants it to.
 * 9) They never shut up!
 * 10) They are pretty much Karma Houdini's, meaning that they get no consequences for actions
 * 11) They often stand out victorious from humiliating their victim protagonist.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Most of them do get comeuppance from the characters.
 * 2) Some alpha bitches are justified, like Chloé Bourgeois, who bullies the others since her mother disappeared a long time ago.
