An NDR traditionally requires a queen to never place below safe - she places low in the makeover.


* NoDamageRun: Along with Gottmik, one of two queens to make it to the top four with no bottom two placements.

A Stool Pigeon (which she is) by definition can’t also be a sheep in sheeps clothing, as that requires no malice, which she does (granted, lightly) exhibit with her pot-stirring.


* BeastMan: Olivia's is perhaps the most literal take on ''Beast Couture'', and she looks great in her bright blue and yellow, horned fur suit. The judges compliment her choice in terms of going full on beast, as opposed to the 'sexy-beast' look they presumed she'd go with.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: Olivia is sweet and always smiling, so obviously some of the other queens (Tina Burner especially) conspire that Olivia is secretly a diva and not as nice as she makes herself out to be … only, she really ''is'' that nice. She's not a pushover, but she genuinely doesn't like to be mean, which causes issues come the ''Roast'' challenge where she tries to "kill with kindness", her roasts coming off as soft and apologetic resulting in a tepid response.

* NoDamageRun: She and Rosé are the only two queens to make it to the top four with no bottom two placements.



* PrettyBoy: Out of drag, Mik is quite a good-looking young man, with [[WhatBeautifulEyes large blue eyes]], a full mouth, and sharp cheekbones, as seen in his [[https://images.app.goo.gl/wGkFGj1X9V5uusZ36 confessional look]].



* TheSocialExpert: Despite Gottmik’s simultaneously glamorous and cartoonish drag persona, she demonstrates intense social acuity throughout the competition. Many people note the ease with which she volleys with the judges during critiques, and some of her standout moments include diffusing Kandy’s meltdown in ''Untucked'' by campily reacting to a bee that appeared on set, and steering a conversation with Creator/AnneHathaway to help snap Denali out of a defeatist funk.

* IllGirl: She is recovering from colon cancer, and actually had to bow out of season 12 (prior to filming) for treatment. She said it took her months even to learn how to walk again after the treatments. This also means she's still just a ''scotch'' tentative during the ''Phenomenon'' dance challenge of episode 3, as the judges note. By the ''Disco-Mentary'' challenge in episode 6, it's brought up by the judges, again, and ultimately places her in the bottom two with Kandy Muse. It's only in a confessional and later in her exit interviews in Untucked and Whatcha Packin' that she reveals she's got an ostomy, effectively an open wound, and that's been impacting her performance but she never brought it up to the judges or the other girls.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* OutOfFocus: Being the "Switzerland of drag" means that she doesn't get into many arguments or confrontations, so compared to many other queens, she gets very little screen-time for the first half of the season. UpToEleven in the Untucked episode for ''Bossy Rossy: The [=RuBoot=]'', where she begins to explain her struggle with self-doubt and the way she masks it with her kooky persona...and about two sentences in, the conversation abruptly switches to something entirely different.

Removing instances of Useful Notes being listed as tropes per the Useful Notes page.


* UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}: One of two Chicago queens this season, alongside Denali.



* UsefulNotes/{{Alaska}}: Denali grew up in Fairbanks, making her the franchise's first Alaskan queen, and took her drag name from the state's tallest mountain.



* UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}: One of two girls from the Windy City this season, alongside Kahmora Hall.
** Throughout the season, Denali released videos through her social media of extended and enhanced performances of songs she lip synched to for the show. When it came to the "100% Pure Love" lip sync where she ultimately sent her Chicago sister Kahmora Hall home, [[https://youtu.be/VQi1AEsEb00 she made a video celebrating and featuring not only Kahmora but also practically every drag artist working in Chicago]], including other local ''Drag Race'' alumnae Dida Ritz and the Vixen as well as transplants Detox and Laila [=McQueen=].



* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: She's the second Scottish-born queen on the show (after Morgan [=McMichaels=]), though she immigrated to the US aged 10 and has lived there long enough to develop an American accent. Her ''Mixed Bag'' look for the ball actually reflects this when she walks the runway [[MoeAnthropomorphism dressed as a very cute Scottish bagpipe,]] and for ''Snatch Game'' she does UsefulNotes/MaryOfScotland as her celebrity.



* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: For the ''Beast Couture'' runway Symone walks out in what is basically a literal FoxyVixen costume which is for all intents and purposes a "fursuit", although with the face cut out so Symone can still serve her own mug to the judges.

With all the lead up to episode 4 when the two groups of queens reunited, fans were surprised when [=LaLa=]'s only comments on Tamisha were "I know her from Atlanta". Episode 5 finally sheds light on this, Tamisha did put [=LaLa=] in drag for the first time, but after that [=LaLa=] didn't consider herself a "professional" drag queen until years later, so she doesn't really consider Tamisha her drag mother.
