That's right, we have a Bitch Alert and it's so blatant you could actually have this caption blinking on the screen/panel as soon as she appears. Usually applies to the Alpha Bitch, Rich Bitch, Femme Fatale and many other types of villainesses.

Compare Make Way for the Princess, for the typical High School variation. Examples of Bitch Alert include:
