History Main / Dominatrix

* Irene Adler of ''{{Sherlock}}'' has been upgraded from an opera singer to a dominatrix, her name being, of course, "The Woman".

* Sadi-chan from OnePiece. She's got the whip, the Stripperific outfit, loves hearing people scream, and just look at her name!

-->-- ''Satan in High Heels''

* The infamous Vampire! Willow that makes a couple of appearances in BuffyTheVampireSlayer. She dresses in leather BDSM gear, Buffy refers to her as a dominatrix (and real Willow scoffs about wearing the outfit and playing bondage games with her boyfriend), Vamp! Willow is definitely portrayed as bi, and we get to see her in action with her...puppy.

This character is a female who's defining trait is that she is Dominant in the [[UsefulNotes/{{BDSM}} BDSM]] sense of the word. She is very likely to be sexually dominant ([[SafeSaneAndConsensual ethically]] or [[AbusivelySexyWoman unethically]]), but doesn't have to be. Instead of being overtly sexual, she might be a dominatrix in a nonsexual way of PlayingToTheFetishes. For example, she might be an animal tamer who use her skill on humans for plot purposes.

In a way, every Dominatrix is a fictional character...and this includes dominatrices in RealLife. Even when a sexually dominant woman has the dominance as her primary sexual identity, it's still just one of her many traits - not the one thing that defines her. The dominatrix, on the other hand, is a professional who's role is to fulfill a masochistic fantasy. This might be considered a kind of sex work, but most dominatrices do not include [[HighClassCallgirl sex]] or any form of nudity or physical contact in the services they provide. In fiction, however, a Dominatrix character does not have to have a job at all. Or [[OneHourWorkWeek anything else]] that might distract her from the plot ([[PlotWhatPlot or lack thereof]]). If she does have a job that is not related to sex or taming, she's probably living in a FetishFuelFuture compatible with being dominatrix at work anyway.

The typical Dominatrix will wear a very strict (yet usually quite revealing) uniform and carry a [[WhipItGood whip]] or similar tool. Her clothes are usually made from [[HellbentForLeather leather]] or [[DressedAllInRubber rubber]], and often include ThighHighBoots. Don't be surprised if she takes a dominant attitude to almost everyone at almost all times...actually, be grateful if it stays at "almost".

Compare to AbusivelySexyWoman, whose sex appeal is based on her physical and verbal abuse and AllWomenAreDomsAllMenAreSubs in which this is the only role women are allowed to have in BDSM.

* ''{{The Adventures Of Oliver And Columbina}}'' features several characters based on one single concept each. One man is a chimney sweeper, one woman is a dancer, and another woman is an animal tamer - this in a setting where all animals are talking animals, and she typically end up using her powers on regular humans anyway.

* [[MissFanservice Jeanette]] from SecretSix is a professional dominatrix, and extremely kinky that way in her private life as well (although also a sweet and loving friend to those she cares about).

Simply being sexually dominant does ''not'' make a female character into a dominatrix: It must be her ''defining trait'', and overtly so.
