(#4) Cheryl Blossom From Riverdale
Like Veronica, Cheryl's been around the teen drama world for a while, though only on the page. Now she's blasting onto the small screen and boy, oh boy, does she take the betchy cake right out of Veronica's mouth. These two have had their fair show of showdowns on Riverdale.
Possible creepy cult membership-status and weird incesty vibes with her dearly departed twin notwithstanding, Cheryl has a pretty hard hold on Riverdale's head betch title. And even if Veronica comes for the crown, rest assured, Cheryl won't be giving up her throne without a fight.

(#2) Alison DiLaurentis
- Pretty Little Liars
Oh? Did someone say sociopath? Allison DiLaurentis had a hold on everybody in Rosewood. Manipulation comes as easy to Allison as breathing does to mere mortals. Whether she's messing with her gay bestie who's harboring a serious crush on her, stirring the pot with her big stirring stick, or threatening to spill the town's secrets, she's always being an extremely charming betch.
The list of people she's blackmailed is as long as the cast list. She drifts around the town in soft-focus flashbacks, cornering people with their secrets, and demanding rewards for keeping quiet. Up until her Rosewood reappearance, she haunted her former clique in hallucinations. Her friends could never quite shake this HBIC.

(#14) Effy Stonem
- Skins
Effy's first few appearances on Skins had her cast as the largely silent kid sister of the first generation's protagonist, Tony. But even in those wordless moments, a mute Effy had the aura of a Head Betch down pat. When she deigned to speak, she was still a woman of few words. It took her next to no effort to ascend to the position of HBIC of her hard-partying, druggie group.
She didn't so much ascend as lazily glide there. Effy was probably perpetually gliding everywhere, in a cloud of cigarette smoke and even smokier eyeliner. If you attended the same Bristol sixth form as her, you'd be lucky if she so much as spoke to you, but you'd probably have to settle for her ashing her cigarette in your general vicinity.

(#1) Blair Waldorf
- Gossip Girl
Blair may not have originated in the character archetype, but she certainly came to define it in a post-Gossip Girl world. This HBIC doesn't just have her perfectly manicured claws dug into her private school's power structure, she also has a firm grip on all of the Upper East Side, nay, Manhattan. Who else could banish a girl, Little Jenny Humphrey, from an entire city?
Ruling a high school? Your average, run-of-the-mill HBIC can do that in her sleep. Blair takes this whole deal to another level. She's a literal 'Queen' B. When any other mean girls can claim to run a city, then maybe Blair will watch the throne, but, until then, Manhattan is Blair's to run, and nobody had better cross her.
-
(#6) Madison Montgomery
- American Horror Story
Emma Roberts's portrayal of Madison Montgomery is masterclass in betchery. Roberts has really carved out a niche for herself playing unrepentant sasses on Ryan Murphy properties. Say what you will about the man, but he knows how to write for mean girls.
Madison is like Chanel Oberlin, if you gave that betch magic powers. And she leaves her fair share of dead bodies in her wake too. She flips a bus full of frat boys and attempts to murder anyone in contention for the title of Supreme. Oh, and at one point in the series she comes back from the dead, meaner than ever. Perhaps, when you're both dead inside and out, there's nowhere for your personality to go other than the hellish depths of betchery.

(#5) Santana Lopez
- Glee
Sure, Glee was on a deep, deep sliding scale of quality ever since its pilot aired, but the one constant, the only thing that kept a strong subset of the internet watching, was Santana Lopez. As bad as Glee got, her character went from strong to stronger.
The comebacks, the putdowns, the threats of violence... All of these pushed her ahead of anyone else in the glee club in contention for title of HBIC. No one else brought the betchery quite like Santana.
