Category Keywords

This page lists all of the keywords (tags) for easy access. Please reference it before adding new categories to a page to minimize unnecessary duplicates.
==Complete Monster: Cause and Effect Keywords==
These two keywords apply only to female villains lacking in noble or redeeming qualities, otherwise known as a "complete monster". However, not everyone gets to choose to be a "complete monster".
Freud Buster‏‎: When a villainess is heinous*, does not redeem herself, and the plot does not give her a Freudian Excuse, she qualifies as a "Freud Buster".
This character was not abused or molested as a child. She did not witness her favorite petting getting killed right before her eyes. Her country/people were not attacked or invaded. She didn't grow up on the harsh streets, begging for food. She was not raped. Nothing in her back story is poised to evoke sympathy. Whether a rotten individual, a sadistic killer, a sociopathic hedonist... she simply likes being bad, and is comfortable with the choice she's made. Worst of all, she has left Sigmund Freud completely stumped! These characters are especially encouraged for the wiki.
*What qualifies as "heinous" is slightly open to interpretation, but at minimum the villainess should:
*Commit murder, attempt to commit murder or engage in brutally violent torture. Any other qualities (lying, stealing, bullying) are not monstrous enough on their own to be properly deemed "heinous".
*Show some level of personal enjoyment in being bad. In other words, she's not doing it just because it's her job. Characters with penchants for Sadism or Chaotic Evil are a good fit.
All Freud Buster character articles must keep this code at the top:
{{DEFAULTSORT:!}} 
IMPORTANT: Characters that apply to any of the tags listed inside of this special table are to be added as blog posts only.
Not So Bad After All: (aka "Wasn't so Bad Until...") This category encompasses characters who belong to one or several of these three subcategories:
#Redeemed: Female villains who start out bad, but redeem themselves before the story concludes, either by aiding the heroes, or sabotaging her fellow villains and/or their plans.
#Remorseful: Female villains who ultimately feel bad for the evil things they've done, regardless of whether or not they also redeem themselves.>
#Freudian Excuse: No matter how heinous her actions,the creators (or adaptationers) have taken it upon themselves to give her an explanation; one that is almost certainly rife with tragedy. At some point in this character's past, a significant occurrence happened; perhaps big, perhaps small. Whichever the case, it changed this person; steering her off the path of good.
A villainess must be given a Freudian Excuse tag if it is revealed that:
1. She was abused (especially sexually) or neglected as a child. 
2. Someone very close to the individual was killed.
3. Her actions are due to forces beyond her control (mind control, unwillingly bitten by a werewolf or vampire*).
4. She has a narrow-sighted perspective of a "noble" (and often, jingoistic) cause. (Example: She's a soldier serving a mad dictator who is bent on world domination, but is doing it because she loves her homeland so much).
However, she does not need FE status if her motive had to do with elitism or entitlement. Such examples including not able to win the lover she desired, being rejected from a school, etc. These actions are a bit more on the petty side and are enough to keep her on normal pages, though they do most definitely still exclude her from Freud Buster status.
*Note 1: If a character is already a werewolf/vampire at the start of the story and there is no effort made to portray them as sympathetic characters, then they do not need this tag.
*Note 2: that this tag should also not be confused with Opportunistic Corruption, where the character turns evil not via tragedy, but rather whim.
Female villains relevant to any of the three above subcategories are allowed, but very discouraged on this wiki, and may only exist as blog posts.
Nasty, but Small-Time: Many times a villainess does not have a Freudian Excuse, but still does not perform the heinous deeds to put her anywhere near Freud Buster status. Hers is closer to the bad behavior that is more exemplified by the average person. Staying in her comfort zone, she is cruel, but does not commit serious crimes. High school bullies are a prime example of this category. Non-lethal gold-diggers would be another. These characters also may exist only as blog pages.
Mostly Heel: A category for heinous characters who either perform a minor act of redemption or have a fleeting moment of supposed remorse or have a tragic moment in their past that where the correlation to their villainous actions isn't concrete (can likely be only one of these three as two or more pushes the character towards blog material). In special cases such as these, the character may qualify to have their page be a normal article rather than a blog post.
Stories which contain multiple endings where the character is only villainous or remains evil in some of them can also apply. 
This category was created in response to the previously cut-and-dried conditions for blog page status to be more forgiving for more extreme cases.
Please note that the final determination on "Mostly Heel" status is left to the moderators and judgments are made by weighing the severity of the evil deeds against the mildness of the good deeds/motive. Therefore, contributors should confirm first with an admin on whether the character qualifies for this tier.
Finally, all article pages with this category must keep this code included at the top:
{{DEFAULTSORT:~}} 
==Crimes and Tactics Keywords==
This section is for all the illegal, immoral or amoral actions carried out by the villainess, except for Murder, which has it's own section below. 
Adulteress: Villainesses who cheat on their lovers. This also applies to villainesses who engage in affairs with married men or women.
Arson: Villainesses whose crimes involve the use of fire. If these crimes occur because they suffer from the impulse to start fires then they are also a Pyromaniac. 
* Pyromaniac: Villainesses who suffer from an impulse that makes them want to play deadly games with fire. 
Backstab Backfire‏‎: The heroes and villainess have fought, and now she is begging to be spared, or perhaps, even "saved" if she, say, toppled over of a ledge, clinging for her life. The heroes know she doesn't deserve mercy, but decide to show it to her anyway. Naturally, the female villain takes advantage of their foolish goodheartedness and attempts to kill them yet again, but it backfires, leaving her defeated, and very often, dead.  
Betrayer: Different from Traitoress, a betrayer does not betray the heroes (or those allied with the heroes) but instead betrays other individuals within her own villain party, whether she is above or below them in the hierarchy. In other words, she is on the "giving" end of the Betrayed tag.
*Betrayed‏‎: When a female villain is betrayed by another villain that she is working under (or over). More often than not, it's by a male villain, who is much less cool than she.  In other words, she is on the "receiving" end of the Betrayer tag.
Blackmailer‏: The villainess uses something against a victim in order to extort money etc from that individual / she is part of a conspiracy with others involving this crime. If the victim committed an illegal act, then the villainess should be tagged with Mostly Heel.
Conspirator: ‏Villainesses who make secret plans to do something illegal or harmful.
Domestic Abuser: A villainess who is violent and/or carries out other kinds of abuse (e.g. emotional) within the home.
Double Agent‏: Villainesses who pretend to be aiding the good guys, when secretly working for the enemy instead. Because of this, they rarely have a long history with the heroes, and rather, are fresh faces to them. They differ from the Traitoress who starts out on the side of the good guys and usually doesn't try much to hide her betrayal from them.
Femme Fatale‏‎: An attractive or seductive female villain who uses her charms to lure the hero into a trap, or get him to cooperate with her. Unlike with The Vamp, there is usually something more genuine with a femme fatale, in that she may develop real feelings for her seductee.
*The Vamp‏‎: A more nefarious version of the Femme Fatale. The Vamp uses the promise (or following through) of sex to get the protagonist to do her bidding, with no emotional backfire. She never (and would never) falls in love with him/her, and rather, is a complete user. Not to be confused with a Vampire.
*Failed Seduction: Cocky Vamps who attempt to seduce the hero or heroine, but they ain't buying it.
Forced Kissing‏‎: When the villainess kisses someone against their will (the person in question is usually tied up, in a compromising position, or just plain overpowered by her).
Forced Sex‏‎: When the villainess has forced sexual intercourse with the protagonist (or someone the good guys are trying to rescue).
*Assisted Rape‏‎: Sometimes a female villain does not rape a victim herself, but will knowingly set a plan into motion that enables other villains in the story to do so. Also applies if she helps restrain the victim during the rape.
Humiliator‏: Villainesses who like to remove the dignity and self respect of their victims. This could range anywhere from forced stripping to degrading acts of submission.
Kidnapper‏‎: Female villains who abduct victims (of any age).
Molester: A villainess who subjects her victim to unwanted sexual contact. This might include Forced Kissing or lead to Forced Sex or Assisted Rape
Robber:‏‎ Villainesses who carry out heists, stick-ups, and all other manners of public robberies. Unlike a Thief who tries to be stealthy and avoid violence, these villainesses don't mind being seen and will resort to violence if need be.
Spy: Evil women who seek out secret or confidential information without people knowing.
Stalker: A villainess who repeatedly follows or contacts someone against their will. This usually causes the victim to feel harassed or intimidated.
Terrorist: An evil woman who uses or threatens the use of violence, in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim.
Thief: Villainesses that steal things. Different from a Robber as they use stealth and try to avoid using violent methods to carry out their crimes.
Torturer : Female villains who torture their victims.
*Mutilator: This female villain takes torture one step further by inflicting extreme and irreversible physical damage to her victim's body.
Traitoress : Different from Betrayer, the villainess turns her back on her own people or friends to help the enemy. Also different from the Double Agent, who was working for the enemy all along and typically doesn't have a long history with the good guys.
Tyrant: ‏‎Female villains who are cruel and oppressive rulers.
Would Hurt a Child:Villainesses who intentionally attempt to cause permanent or fatal harm to a child, regardless of whether or not they actually succeed.
Would Hurt an Animal: Villainesses who intentionally attempt to cause permanent or fatal harm to a child, regardless of whether or not they actually succeed.

Demise: The Works: This is a case where the villainess doesn't succumb to any one specific method of death, but is instead subjected to multiple extreme tortures over a period of time before finally expiring.
Demise: Video Game Variance‏: Exclusive to video games, more commonly, 2D ones, where a character is killed in battle. Many times when a Video Game Villainess is killed, she will simply disappear, or disintegrate into pixels/nothingness. In the context of the story, there's probably supposed to be a corpse there, but the sprite artists and 3D modellers decided not to devote time and resources to creating it. In addition, these characters are often taken out with a variety of weapons and spells, leaving just how they died ambiguous and uncanonical. If, however, she is killed outside of battle, the other appropriate "Demise" tags should be used instead.
Accidental Demise: The villainess ends up killing herself accidentally. This is different from suicide because her intentions weren't to take her own life. This category also applies if she is killed accidentally by someone else, such as an ally.
Corpse‏‎: After death, a shot of the female villain's corpse is visually displayed, regardless of whether or not she was killed off screen.
Graphic Demise‏‎: aka. A "gory demise". Where gore or more than just a small amount of blood is visually depicted in the death.
Killed By Ally: The villainess is killed by one of her allies rather than by an enemy. Most of the time this occurs because they are betrayed. But it might happen accidentally as well.
Killed By Animal: The villainess is killed by an animal or a group of animals. This might occur from being Mauled To Death or by being Eaten Alive. Note: If the villainess is defeated by an animal in a non lethal way then the category Animal Defeats Villainess should be used instead.
Killed By Lover: The villainess meets her end at the hands of her spouse or lover.
Killed By Own Weapon: The villainess is killed when her own weapon is used against her, either purposely or accidentally.
Killed By Relative: The villainess is killed by a member of her own family.
Offscreen Death‏: The villainess is killed, but her transition from life to death is not visually depicted, regardless of whether or not a shot of her corpse is, at any point later on. Most High Fall deaths will apply here, as the impact of the person hitting the ground is almost never shown. aka. "Off-panel Death" (for comics)
Overkilled‏: When a female villain dies by receiving more than one fatal circumstance in quick succession. Usually done for comedic effect, an example would be getting shot in the head, and then falling out of a helicopter and into the jaws of a hungry shark. The appropriate "Demise:" tags should still be used alongside this one.
Suicide‏‎: Female villains who take their own life, often when they learn there's no way out of their situation now.
==Fate Keywords==
These tags inform the status of the villainess at the last point in the series continuity. Any new keywords for this section should be created like this: Fate: <type>.
Fate: Arrested‏‎: The long arm of the law assures us that justice will be served.
Fate: Deceased‏‎: When a villainess has been killed and was not later resurrected. In other words, permanently dead. Note: a respective "Demise" tag should also be added whenever this tag is present on a character page to inform how she became deceased.
Fate: Ending-Dependent‏: Villainesses whose fate is different depending on which ending out of multiple in the same story is achieved. Likely to occur mostly in video games, but also choose-your-own-adventure novels and movies with alternate endings. Can be used in conjunction with other "Fate" tags.
Fate: Enslaved: Villainesses who are forced into a life of slavery after their defeat. Most commonly sexual slavery, although other forms of slavery can count as well. Note: It has to be made obvious that she is being forced into a form of slavery against her will, otherwise if she is only seen as a captive with no implied future of being a slave, then please use Fate: Held Captive instead.
Fate: Guilty: The villainess either pleads guilty or is found guilty for her crimes and is punished accordingly, possible punishments include jail time or community service.
Fate: Held Captive: The villainess ends her story as someone else's captive. This is not to be mistaken as a jail sentence. Note: If it is obvious that after being held against her will that she is going to become some sort of slave, then please use Fate: Enslaved instead.
Fate: Humiliated‏‎: Sometimes the work feels that fitting justice for a villainess is simply to end her story with a humiliation. Note: This tag should only be used if the villainess remains alive and free. If she is arrested or killed, those tags should be used instead of this one.
Fate: Inconclusive‏‎: Sometimes a fictional work concludes without showing the audience the fate of the villainess. What separates this category from a Karma Houdini is that with an Inconclusive fate, it is hinted at by other characters in the story that she will be staring down some kind of punishment.
Fate: Involuntary Commitment: The villainess ends up in a psychiatric hospital by the end of the story.
Fate: Karma Houdini‏‎: Unlike Inconclusive or Presumed Deceased where there's some implication that she got (or will get) her comeuppance, a karma houdini is when the villainess outright disappears from the story. Sure, she may have faced a setback or two earlier in the plot, but the credits are now rolling and for all we know, she could be sitting on a tropical beach somewhere, living the high life, until the day she dies of old age! 
*Happy Ending: Every now and again, a Karma Houdini will not only manage to escape the hand of Justice, but will win, and win BIG. The hero of the story has failed, and the villainess gets what she wants, in addition to remaining free to commit further crimes. Naturally, this category applies only to female villains with the Fate: Karma Houdini.
Fate: Presumed Deceased: We see danger is heading this villainess' way, and then... we never hear from her again. It's more than likely that she has been killed, but it is not verified.
Fate: Sealed: Powerful female villains who are unable to be killed in their final appearance, and instead are sealed away.
Fate: Submission: The villainess submits to the hero, usually agreeing to stop their evil in return for mercy.
==Hierarchy Keywords==
It takes both gods and clods to complete a villainous scheme.
Boss‏‎: The woman in charge. All henchwomen, henchmen and minions answer to her.
Henchwoman‏‎: Unlike the minion who prefers to work behind the scenes, she's the weapon-toting hired help who's usually putting her neck on the line.
* Team of Henchwomen: Two or more henchwomen who team up together. Note: To be used only on pages where multiple henchwoman characters are presented (excludes zako).
Minion‏‎: An underling of the main villain(s) of the movie. She usually doesn't see as much action as a Henchwoman, however.
Zako‏: Groups of carbon-copy female minions and henchwomen. In almost all instances, they dress in the same style of uniform and do not have individual names or back stories in the plot. They are most common in video games, anime and manga. Note: Because not all of them share the same fate in their respective stories, the "Fate" tag should be omitted for characters attributed to this tag. Conversely "Demise" tags should still be used if any happen to be killed.
==Media Keywords==
The type of fiction the villainess can be found in. Naturally, characters can have more than one attached to their page, if applicable.
Adult Media Villainess: Female villains from media that has been created purely for sexual arousal, such as pornography or fetish videos. Note: Characters who might appear nude or shown having sex in media that isn't designed specifically as adult entertainment should not be added to this category.
Anime Villainess: Characters who appear in anime tv shows, movies and original video animations.
Book Villainess‏: Villainesses from text stories which are accompanied by little to no pictures or illustration. Includes published (no internet, fan fiction, etc.) novels, short stories, pulp magazines and so on. Because the source is text, no pictures should be uploaded to these pages, aside from maybe the book cover.
Card or Board Game Villainess: Female villains from board games or card games. Because characters from this type of media often don't have many images, or even extensive storyline information, it is recommended that they all be combined into one page per series/game.
Comic Book Villainess‏‎: Female villains from comics that were created in North America, Western Europe (excluding Italy), Australia or New Zealand. Note: Do not add any characters from comics created in Japan or Italy to this tag. These two countries each have very large comic industries, and thus, they have their own tags, Manga Villainess and Fumetti Villainess, respectively. Also, for CG comics, use Computer-Generated Villainess instead.
Computer-Generated Villainess: Any villainess that is CGI or polygon-based. Can be used in conjunction with the "Video Game Villainess" category if applicable.
Fumetti Villainess: Evil females who appear in comics that were created in Italy.
Live Action Villainess‏‎: She appears in a live action movie or tv show.
Manga Villainess: Characters who appear in Japanese manga or doujisnhi.
Theme Park Villainess: Female villains who appear in theme park attractions.
Unofficial Works: This tag is to be used on the "Unofficial Works (<series>)" pages, which list villainesses that are borrowed without permission from an official series and used in a parody or fan creation. Female characters who are heroines/neutral in their official work, but are made to be evil in the story of an unofficial work may also apply.
Video Game Villainess‏: Female villains who appear in video games.
Web Media Villainess: Female villains from web comics, digital CG stories, shockwave flash cartoons, youtube series, RPGMaker video games; Pretty much all projects that are created to be shared/sold on the internet, rather than for physical retail release. Can and should be used in conjunction with the other "Media" tags (Live Action, Manga, Comic Book, etc.)
Western Animation Villainess‏‎: Female villains from animated films or cartoon television shows that were created in North America, Western Europe, Australia or New Zealand.
==Motive Keywords==
These tags state what pushes the female villains to commit their crimes.
Anarchist: Villainesses who utilize extreme and violent forms of anarchy to bring down stable and benevolent ruling systems via revolt. Another aim can be to tear down current beliefs/societies so they can build new ones, or simply just to create utter chaos.
Chaotic Evil‏‎: Female villains of this type are not strictly following the orders of or being paid by some leader or institution, as with Lawful Evil. Likewise, unlike Neutral Evil villainesses who commit atrocities to enhance the quality of their lives, for Chaotic Evil, the atrocities themselves are the enhancement. They act from personal free will, with no particular rhyme or reason other than that it feels good.
Greedy‏‎: Female villains who are particularly motivated by money.
Hegemony‏‎: Villainesses who wish to make the entire world their plaything.
Lawful Evil: Type 1: Loyal female villains who serve another villain or villainous organization. Ethics do not factor into their decision to do so. As far as they are concerned, they are devoted to the individual(s) above them, and that is all that matters. That said, this by no means implies that they are incapable of enjoying their job, as a bonus.
Type 2: Villainesses at the top who have ideals and actions align with creating a controlled order. Because of this, many are likely to have a Freudian Excuse that is motivating them to do this.
Neutral Evil‏‎: Female villains of this type are out only for themselves. They do not share the code of respect that Lawful Evil does, but usually do not cause the random and senseless violence that Chaotic Evil does either.
Psychotic‏‎: A villainess who is totally insane.
The Bet: Villainesses who commit evil actions and ruin lives purely to make sure they win a cruel bet they've taken part in.
Vengeful: Female villains whose criminal activity is motivated, at least partially, by revenge.
==Murder Keywords==
Many female villains are no strangers to killing. Keywords for the method she employs to kill should be created like this: Murder: <method>.
Attempted Murder‏‎: Not all of a villainess's attempts to kill are successful. This becomes more and more common the closer the source material gets to a kid-friendly audience. Naturally, this doesn't apply if the villainess is only trying to kill out of self defence. Note: This tag should only be used if the villainess never successfully murders anyone. 
Murderer: This tag is for all female villains who successfully kill. In these cases, it is still permissible (and recommended) to use the Murder: <method> categories below.
*Animal Murderer: Villainesses who kill helpless animals not for self defense or for food, but for dark and/or selfish reasons.

*Murder: Impalement‏‎: The villainess kills her victim by skewering though them with a weapon, or if she's powerful enough, using even her own hand. 
*Murder: Indirect:‎ This applies when a villainess uses no weapons, bombs, or direct physical contact to kill her victim, but gives orders or sets things into motion so that other characters/forces of nature do it for her.
* Murder: Legs : A villainess who kills using her legs. This might be by squeezing her victim to death between them, by breaking necks with them or by simply kicking someone to death with them. Kills caused by the victim being crushed or stomped to death also fit in this category.
*Murder: Life Drain: The villainess sucks the life force out of her victims, often to increase her own power.

Rich‏: Female villains who are already established to have lots of money at the start of the story, regardless of whether or not they resort to seedy practices to obtain more.

Scrapped: Once in a while, a villainess will be added in the development process of a story, movie, or game, but will be cut before release, due to various circumstances. Deleted scenes, concept art and even first draft scripts are among those that provide evidence to their existence.

With the exception of video games that contain more than 10 regular female enemies, this is the only tag that is to be put on a page created for a series.
Sex: This tag is for when the villainess has consensual sex (i.e. not rape) with someone in the story, whether it be another villain, a supporting character, or even the hero (regardless of whether or not she ends up betraying him/her later).
Shock of Impending Doom: This category is used for when, seconds before a villainess's death, there is a close-up of her face that displays a look of shock or surprise.

Smoker: A villainess who is shown smoking at some point in the work she appears in.

Villainess Is Enlarged: The villainess' body is fully enlarged (or some of her body parts are enlarged) in the work that she appears in. This could potentially make her a Giantess.

Villainess Shrinks Victim: The villainess fully shrinks her victim (or some of her victim's body parts are shrunken) in the work that she appears in. This would then likely make the villainess a Giantess in comparison to her victim. A Shrink Ray might also have been used to carry out the task.

Note: This category should only be used for heels from actual wrestling promotions, and not villainous wrestler characters from other media.
