A classic character type, the beauty who uses her femininity and her sexuality as a weapon to undermine a moral and upright man, for evil purposes. She's evil, sexy, a liar, a manipulatrix and a sneak, and uses the good guy's sympathy against him, often with a sob story about her mother and some hospital bills or a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Unlike the Femme Fatale and the Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter, and even the Dark Feminine, she is rotten to the core, and will never be swayed from the path of darkness by love. (In eras where Makeup Is Evil applies, expect her to beat her mug like she's competing on RuPaul's Drag Race.) The name comes from Rudyard Kipling's 1897 poem "The Vampire." It was popularized by the 1915 silent film A Fool There Was, which quoted liberally from the Kipling poem. It quickly became a trope of classic silent films, where this character is part of a standardized plot. A red-blooded American boy must choose between his familiar, cutesy-plain sweetheart and this seductress. This trope is Cyclic. In certain eras, as with the "hat dichotomy" from Westerns, but more actual in fact, The Vamp is almost always black-haired, whereas the good girl is a blonde. In the Cold War era, the raven-haired temptress was a Soviet spy, when not just a torturer like The Baroness. At other times, blondes are inherently more evil. And of course, always keep an eye out for an Evil Redhead or two in the mix. She may either wear a red dress or black lingerie. Although the name is derived from "vampire," this character is most commonly a normal human, but some supernatural entities are known to influence men in this way. Succubi and Sirens are known to lure men in to be eaten or drained of Life Energy, or occasional literal vampires use their supernatural beauty and wit to lure male prey to their deaths, for example. If the story is sci-fi, her powers will involve pheromones or psychic manipulation. Expect some Slaying Mantis or Seductive Spider Animal Motifs for some of these characters, as female mantises and spiders have been known to eat their male partners after mating note although the prevalence of this habit is greatly exaggerated in the media. Indeed the Black Widow is a particularly successful Vamp, and the Literal Man Eater actually consumes the men she seduces. Compare with the Femme Fatale, the somewhat more sympathetic (and often less overtly sexual) version of this character (which may overlap with this trope if the character has an ambiguous agenda), and The Casanova. Often overlaps with Gold Digger, who is motivated by greed for the target's wealth, and Intentional Heartbreaker, who strings the guy along for a while and takes satisfaction in rejecting him. See also Villainesses Want Heroes. Often, this is the characterization given to the College Widow, a Dude Magnet who lives near a male-only institution and encourages the attention she receives. A Nice Guy might inspire her to Evil Desires Innocence. Contrast with the Heroic Seductress, The Vamp's direct Counter Trope, who uses sex for noble and heroic purposes. Also contrast The Tease, who uses sex for mischief, and the Proper Lady, who saves it for her own man. Not to Be Confused with the other Vamp. |

Wonder Woman (1942): Earth-Two: Draska Nishki spends most of her time flirting with male marks and cops in order to take advantage of them. She poisons Steve Trevor's drink while kissing him, in the full knowledge that he's been sent to act as a Honey Pot against her, and manages to convince an Officer of the Court to leave her alone and unsupervised to go get her some cigarettes. Earth-One: Sometimes the second Cheetah, who wears a much skimpier costume than her predecessor, but this is Depending on the Writer. |

In Samurai Jack, there was Josephine Clench (also a Dark Action Girl) who once formed half of an Outlaw Couple with her husband Zeke. This seemed to be a vital part of the pair's strategy; she would cozy up to a victim in order to gain trust so that he would let his guard down, and be unprepared for the far-less subtle attack from Zeke. (Even better, if the victim tried to defend Josephine from him thinking she was in danger, he'd likely expose his back to her, and it would be over for him quickly.) Unfortunately for the pair, she was so rotten that Zeke divorced her and got a restraining order. They called a truce to collect the bounty on Jack (at which point her skills at seduction worked very well on the Samurai) but Josephine double-crossed Zeke in the end (which leads you to believe that may have caused the divorce in the first place). Ironically, this is what helped Jack defeat her as well. | |

The Mighty Thor: Amora the Enchantress at her most villainous. In a very clear-cut nod to her role as a stand-in for Freya in the Marvel mythos, she once traded a single night of lovemaking with three Dwarven master-smiths in exchange for the magnificent necklace Brisengamen. Her sister Lorelei too. Like her sister, she is proficient in using her beauty and charm in order to seduce and dominate the will of others. Unlike Amora, Lorelei has no interest in mastering sorcery other than to learn a few spells and potions to aid her seductive techniques. |

When this fails on the heroes and Clive exposes her game, she tries to seduce him- only for him to reveal he's Happily Married and has a daughter, before giving her a stern lecture about inner beauty.

Octopath Traveler II: Combined with the mirror cutscene and Tanzy's journal, the player learns in the final chapter that Arcanette, the Moonshade Order's leader, seduced Tanzy after her husband died and groomed her for the sole purpose of having Tanzy act as both an (unwilling) sacrifice to Vide and a scout for the locations of the Sacred Flames. While Tanzy's love for her "goddess" is genuine, Arcanette cruelly and coldly manipulates her emotions, even pretending to be interested in another woman to further manipulate her emotions. | |

She ends up tricking the hero to turn her into a vampire while they are having sex so she can gain his powers and takes up the Big Bad position after the hero destroys Lazarus, and she steals his power to remake the world in her image. | |

Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist is aptly named, making heavy use of this trope in every single version of the series. As one of the primary agents of the Big Bad, she uses her incredible beauty and cunning mind to manipulate men...often killing them once they are no longer useful. The manga and Brotherhood paints her as a cruel and dangerous woman, while the 2003 anime version presents her as more of a tragic Anti-Villain. Her design perfectly calls up the classic image, with flowing black curls and a slinky black dress, as well as smoky makeup. | |

She is described as grown very hot and alluring and uses her seductive power to become the secretary for the successful attorney Bart Simpson and then sleeps with him. The relationship, however, causes Bart enormous stress, not liking being manipulated by the same girl who him in trouble when he was ten, and when he rejects her, she kidnaps him and tries drugging him into saying a marriage vow. When that doesn't work, she sues him for sexual harassment, claiming Bart took advantage of her citing to the court his bad-boy image, all the while mouthing to him "You're mine" . | |

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Chalis is a spy who specializes in charming kings out of national secrets (and into trouble) with "a rare beauty not often seen in Angara". She also tries to tempt Matthew into cooperating, and he literally can't turn her down. Her ambiguous motive still makes the fans argued that she is this trope or Femme Fatale. | |

Bloody Agatha from Claymore — she's one of the few Claymores who shows an interest in sex (although admittedly we only see her after becoming an Awakened One). Roxanne of Love and Hate could also count, depending on how you interpret her attitude towards her victims. Her modus operandi was to befriend another Claymore and copy her powers. That Claymore would later die in...mysterious circumstances. It also enabled her to leap up the ranks to Number 1. | |

Sabine from The Order of the Stick is a succubus in red leather. In a bit of a subversion, her vamping doesn't work on the Genre Savvy Roy Greenhilt the time she tried it on him, and most of it is directed at her boss, Nale. It didn't work on Miko, either. | |

A literal example with Alva in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. After becoming a vampire, her leader Movarth sent her into Morthal with the intent of seducing and enslaving all of the guards. She falls for a lowly lumberjack and then has her thrall slaughter his whole family to cover her tracks after seducing him. | |

Metal Gear: The series features a male character codenamed Vamp, who fits aspects of this trope. His codename is derived not from his taste for drinking blood, but from his bisexuality, playing off an older use of the term. The sexual aspects were downplayed in-game, compared to the original trailer, but it was conclusively stated that he is not, in fact, a vampire. Twice. Vamp is a subversion. Vamp had a boyfriend in the form of Scott Dolph before said boyfriend was killed in the tanker incident. Although it's never outright stated that his relationship wasn't for some sort of underlying, self-centered motive, nothing about it ever gave him any kind of gain. His boyfriend was his best friend's father, on top of it, which could've conceivably risked damaging that friendship, so the only possible reason for him to have the relationship was out of genuine care for Dolph. It's played straight in Guns of the Patriots, however, as he's really friendly with Naomi, and she does have something of value he wants: his own death. From Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, there's EVA, to some extent, though you don't find out 'til the ending. However, she's a subversion of this trope, as it's revealed that she genuinely did love Big Boss, and even joined him in overthrowing the faction of The Patriots lead by Major Zero, Para-Medic, and Sigint after the organization was split in two, thanks to a falling out between Big Boss and Major Zero, part of which was caused by Zero cloning Big Boss and creating Big Boss' "sons". Moreover, EVA volunteered to be the surrogate mother of Solid and Liquid, all because of her love for Big Boss, and even though Solid Snake was a clone, she still saw him as a son. Image Song of Mistral mentioned this. |

A far more obvious example in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder are the succubi, who are reimagined from medieval sexual predators to deadly femme fatale who manipulate their prey into eternal damnation before ripping out their souls and dragging it back to their home dimension.

Sin City: Ava Lord from the story "A Dame to Kill For" was an evil (by her own admission) and greedy seductress who manipulated her old lover, Dwight McCarthy, through a Wounded Gazelle Gambit into murdering her husband so she could get her hands on all his money, and then tried to kill him once he had outlived his usefulness to her. As Manute, her Dragon (who would later show up in "The Big Fat Kill"), explains, Dwight is not the first man she has destroyed with her deadly wiles. Lampshaded-slash-deconstructed in her admission, as she points out that "evil ruthless seductress" is so cliche nobody believes she can be one...until it's too late. A number of other female characters play this up too, such as the assassins Blue Eyes and Mariah, whose looks are on par with Ava Lord and have a thing for seducing their victims before murdering them. Their boss actually gets annoyed with the former because she keeps wasting valuable time during missions getting into snog-sessions. |

Berserk: Slan. Beautiful and enticing she may be, but she's still a cruel sadist who corrupts and destroys people using her wiles, as well as one of the five most powerful demons in the series universe. As if that wasn't bad enough, her interactions with Guts show her as an outright sexual predator. The female Apostle that Guts kills in the very beginning of the manga is another big example, using her beautiful, naked, female human form to lure men into her embrace before assuming her Apostle form and eating them alive, with her most notable kill being Corkus during the Eclipse. Guts exploited this and pretended to fall into the lure, only to turn the tables and blow her head off with his Arm Cannon at point-blank range when she transformed to try to eat him. |

She was initially out to seduce Batman to uncover his identity for the crime league, Spyral. Talia al-Ghul is one of Batman's more long-term and complicated relationships. She often fluctuates between ally and enemy as Batman and her father, Ra's al-Ghul, battle one another. For her guest appearances in Birds of Prey, however, she has decided to exploit her extremely well-formed figure to manipulate and dominate the men she targets, starting with the father of Black Alice. |

Chainsaw Man is rather fond of this: Makima was a Manipulative Bitch and Fetishized Abuser who used her looks to manipulate Denji (and to a lesser extent his partner Aki) into doing her bidding, even stringing Denji along with the promise of sexual favors. After she shows her true colors as one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Conquest), it's shown that she Reforged into a Minion all of the Hybrids they had killed up to that point, with each of them declaring their undying love for her. In the end, Denji is only able to defeat her after realizing that she never cared for him as a person and using that to his advantage. Token Evil Teammate Power started out as this, as she used the promise of allowing Denji to fondle her to lure him into a trap. However, after he saves her from being Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves she makes good on her promise and the two wind up becoming Like Brother and Sister. Reze, a.k.a. Bomb Girl, was a Soviet Femme Fatale who was tasked with killing Denji and stealing Pochita for the Lensman Arms Race. After she reveals her true colors Denji laments the fact that every woman in his life tries to kill him, however she ends up Becoming the Mask and entertains the idea of the two running away together. Makima had other plans, however. Asa/Yoru was the second of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and invites Denji on a date with the intent of killing him to create a weapon strong enough to kill Chainsaw Man without knowing his Secret Identity. Asa accurately surmises that boys like Denji Desperately Craves Affection to the point that they'll fall for any girl who can show them "a fraction of a good time", but thanks to her complete lack of social skills she manages to scare him off, of all people. However, like Reze she quickly begins developing genuine feelings for Denji and it turns into a Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman situation. Denji's Bodyguard Crush Fumiko Mifune had the Establishing Character Moment of fondling him while masquerading as a teenage girl in order to manipulate him into staying in 10-Minute Retirement on behalf of Public Safety, but once her cover's blown she maintains that her feelings for him were genuine. This ended up being Metaphorically True, as she had no love for him as a person but was a Nightmare Fetishist looking forward to scavenging his remains after betraying him. |

Her debut episode sees her ensnare Harvey Dent's heart, stringing him along for awhile, pretending to be head over heels in love, before the night she decides to give him one, final kiss. And, when Batman skulks into her greenhouse lair, hellbent on securing the antidote for her lipstick, only to be pulled into the tight embrace of a giant mutant flytrap's Vine Tentacles, Isley flirtatiously greets him, treating the encounter like a cozy date at her place, before insistently sharing a passionate goodnight kiss with Batman as well, one she takes tremendous, sultry pleasure in. | |

The classic Vamp in Abrahamic religions, of course, is Delilah, from the biblical story of Samson. The Biblical story clearly treats her as a villainess who tempts Samson away from his godly ways and thus brings about his downfall, emasculation, and captivity. She betrayed him very effectively, although her life was threatened. People weak in faith turning their backs on their powerful protector when threatened by the vast but easily avoidable powers of the wicked is a bit of a theme in the Bible, yes. Samson was also a subversion, which indicates the trope is older than that. He consistently fed Delilah information she consistently used to get his enemies deployed where he could deal with them. Until he got arrogant enough to reveal all his secrets, he was managing her vamping quite well. Another, more apt biblical example would be Amon's queen, Jezebel. The Succubus, a demon which disguises itself as a beautiful woman to cause trouble (what kind of trouble tends to vary). The Incubus was her male counterpart. |

You can play one in the Neverwinter Nights mod A Dance with Rogues. There are a surprising number of quests in which having sex with enemies is a shortcut to let you kill them more easily, or, in the case of the Dhorn Generals' Heads quest in the first chapter, the only path to getting to kill them. | |

Subverted in one of Saturday Night Live's "Ambiguously Gay Duo" cartoon shorts. An alien queen plans to use her feminine wiles to distract Ace and Gary, but Dr. Bighead replies, "I, uh, don't think that'll work on those two." Which it didn't. They have very strong moral constitutions, obviously. | |

From Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, there's EVA, to some extent, though you don't find out 'til the ending. However, she's a subversion of this trope, as it's revealed that she genuinely did love Big Boss, and even joined him in overthrowing the faction of The Patriots lead by Major Zero, Para-Medic, and Sigint after the organization was split in two, thanks to a falling out between Big Boss and Major Zero, part of which was caused by Zero cloning Big Boss and creating Big Boss' "sons". Moreover, EVA volunteered to be the surrogate mother of Solid and Liquid, all because of her love for Big Boss, and even though Solid Snake was a clone, she still saw him as a son. | |

Blackarachnia of Transformers: Animated wavered between this and Femme Fatale. Even if she was redeemed, it would be very hard for anyone (besides Optimus, the sap) to trust her. Which is odd, because while she's fairly sexy by human body shape standards, she's also techno-organic—and most Transformers are repulsed by anything organic. However, many of the Autobots find her very attractive and only Blitzwing and Sentinel Prime react with anything approaching disgust. The latter even tries to kill her, despite the fact that she was once his girlfriend. | |

Queen Chrysalis in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic plays this trope quite well, and takes it a step further by actually kidnapping someone's bride and replacing her with Voluntary Shapeshifting. Considering she's essentially a G-Rated Succubus, it's not too surprising. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! had a Sadist Teacher version named Ms. Chono from the first arc of the manga and the first anime series. She enforces arbitrary rules and enjoys expelling students, so much so that she regularly orders desk inspections to find out if any students are carrying contraband items. She also likes going on matchmaking dates just to crush men's hopes, and the one time a guy dumped her first she had a gigantic temper tantrum in the school bathroom. She gets her just desserts when Yami Yugi challenges her to a jigsaw puzzle game, where she cheats, and has her true ugliness exposed. Later on, she's able to appear normal with enough make-up, but when she acts mean or cruel her face will suddenly crack. | |

In Survival of the Fittest, several female players, such as Katherine Marks, Clemence, and Chi Masumi, have used their looks to try to seduce male opponents and catch them off guard or get protection/help from them. Usually, they try to kill the male once they're vulnerable. This has just about never worked, James Coombs, Naoji Hideyoshi, and Aaron Redfield being the only actual victims of this tactic so far. Non-player females sometimes try to do something similar to charm males into helping them, but this has become rare by v3. | |

In Yu Gi Oh 5Ds, when Jack's love interest Carly is killed by a side villain, the primary antagonists resurrect her as a Dark Signer — complete with a sexier Evil Costume Switch — and send her to be Jack's opponent in the series of Final Battles. In her Brainwashed and Crazy state, Carly attempts to use Jack's feelings for her to convince him to surrender, join her, and conquer the future destroyed world she shows him in a vision, where they rule as a Battle Couple. Jack's temporarily all too happy to embrace the arrangement she shows him but ultimately snaps out of it. | |

Subverted with the plasmavore in Children of Time. She starts out as the seductress who wants nothing more than to suck all the blood out of your body, but she quickly becomes far more complicated a character than that and far more sympathetic. It should be noted that she does attempt to seduce Sherlock Holmes twice, and the second time, she nearly succeeds, helped along by a pheromone-enhancing concoction. However, she undergoes Character Development, namely Villain Decay. | |
