** Kristi in ''Literature/DarkPlaces'' is a more sympathetic version. She was an extremely cute, gossipy, peak-80s tween when she tried to seduce Ben (who was eighteen), and then [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accused him of sexual abuse]], getting him sent to prison. When Libby catches up with her, she's a stripper with a terrible breast enlargement who, while she admits to lying about Ben, still expects Libby to feel sorry for her.

** ''Literature/GoneGirl'': Amy has always played the role of a specific form of GirlyGirl for her boyfriends and even her friends. Desi in particular is a huge fan of her always dressing in pastel shades and she [[FalseRapeAccusation falsely accuses both Nick and her own father]] of brutal physical and sexual abuse to get sympathy and attention from him. Nick's version of Amy is cooler, more hipster, and "modern" but still girly in a way that appeals to Nick (hairless, sexy).
** Amma and Adora in ''Literature/SharpObjects'' are both generation-specific versions. EvilMatriarch Adora is TheMunchausen and enjoys making all her daughters sick and being viewed as the perfect mother even if it meant killing her youngest, Marion. Amma, on the other hand, is viewed as an innocent little girl while [[spoiler:murdering rivals for her mother's and Camille's attention and putting their teeth in her CreepyDollhouse.]]
