As other queens later remark, it's quite jarring to see someone who is so naturally mean be so ''nice'' at the same time.

----
* BaconAddiction: Accidentally invoked, her one and only runway look crafted after ''Series/DowntonAbbey'' was made from a giant silk flower, however Michelle Visage pointed out the effect looked more like raw bacon than flower petals. Also in subversion of this trope, the judges unanimously agreed in this one instance, Kelly's dress was definitely ''not'' better with bacon!
* BiTheWay
* BrilliantButLazy: She's a well-rounded TV queen with almost two decades of drag experience under her belt, yet when she first arrived on the show the other queens commented how they found her neon-heart dress uninspired, and later the judges took offense to the fact she seemed to be wearing a "shake-n-go wig". To many fans it seemed Kelly was phoning in her performance, assuming she could just coast by on safe for the first few challenges.
* CoolUncle: Not one herself, but she is the nephew of legendary switch hitter Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees.
* GallowsHumor: She has poked fun at her elimination with a music video, aptly titled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qca1_9ptKB4 "Eliminated"]], guest-starring Tammie Brown!

->'''Real Name''': Reynolds Engelhart
->"I'm just here for the exposure."
----
* AttentionWhore: Fully admitted she only joined the competition because she wanted to feed into her ego with the exposure she'd get from the show. However, as Bianca Del Rio brought up, she only admitted this when she knew she would be in the Bottom 2.
* BeYourself: Refused to consider changing her style, even after the judges harshly critiqued her on her signature nose make-up, which she says is purposely done so that it looks like you could 'snap it like a toothpick'.
** TakeThat: She then verbally lashes out, angrily stating that queens in the competition who ''do'' adapt for the judge's aesthetic were spineless.
* CantTakeCriticism: When the judges lay into her for her poor runway look, she'd lay right back into them. It gets so bad that Ru has to call for a stop to it, telling Magnolia she has to make people like her and not lash out at them.
* CatchPhrase: A very nasally "Oh wow!"
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: She basically stopped trying as soon as she was tasked to make a dress with a hoe-down theme.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: A self-described trash queen who loves taking something ugly and turn it out into something fabulous.
** InformedAttribute: Visage calls her out on this on the main stage with a poor runway look, to which Magnolia outright blames entirely on her hoe-down inspired party box, calling everything in her box ugly ... which turns into a bit of a headscratcher since she stated outright she loved ugly things ''because'' she could make them fabulous.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In case there was anyone who still doesn't consider her TheScrappy, she admitted in the reunion episode that she didn't even watch the show past her elimination--meaning she couldn't answer Ru's question of which challenge she might have excelled at--since she wanted to keep it in her mind as ''her'' moment.
* MyGreatestFailure: Claims the reason she didn't watch her episode (or the rest of Season 6) is she didn't want her experience to turn into this, and wanted to keep her time on the show 'hers alone' (after she was coerced into watching her elimination well after the fact, she actually decided to quit drag altogether).
* NaiveNewcomer: After the fact, she has admitted that drag to her was only a hobby, not a career like many of the other queens treat it. This ended up being attributed to her doing so poorly in the first episode.
* PhoneCallFromTheDead: Many episodes later since her elimination, a video of Magnolia is shown in ''Untucked'' where she says "I don't do impersonations, fuck Cher" much to the (albeit joking) anger of the queens who witnessed that video.
* PhraseCatcher: Seemed to be all set to be this season's Ivy Winters with a hardy "Magnooooolia Crawford!". Unfortunately ([[MostAnnoyingSound or not]]), Ru [[WeHardlyKnewYe only got to use it for just one episode]].
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Likes to contour her nose to an ''extremely'' sharp point, Bianca even mused that Magnolia looked like a swordfish!

->'''Real Name''': Osmond Vacious
->"Mutha has arrived!"
----
* AffectionateNickname: Non-romantic example, but the name "Vivacious" was given to her as a child by her 2nd grade teacher. It had been her nickname for years before she decided to upgrade it to her official drag name.
* {{Ambadassador}}: She specializes in performing at primarily-straight clubs, acting as an ambassador for the gay community.
* AmbiguousGender: Claims to not really go for feminine looks, but instead looks that dominate the attention of the room.
* BaldWomen
* ClubKid: She proudly describes herself as one of the ''original'' New York City club kids. This creates a little conflict as some feel that her style is outdated.
* CostumePorn: The only way to describe her signature style, her outfits are usually big and bold ([[ImpracticallyFancyOutfit if a little impractical]]), dominating the attention of the room.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Her big reveal in the first episode was somewhat derailed by her difficulty undoing the headpiece.
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Her premier outfit is a fierce alien-esque costume that covered her entire upper body ... however, as she tries to go for the big reveal she's unable to reach the zipper, leading to a rather humorous moment of the rest of the queens watching her in confused awe as she struggles to free herself.
** BookEnds: And then her last runway look before her elimination she wore a fullbody spiked catsuit, with the suit covering the sides of her head so she had to visibly pull back the hood to even listen to the judges critiques. At one point Ru even called her out on whether her catsuit had deafened her, or if she was trying to emulate Music/MariahCarey's SignatureMove!
* NiceHat: Ornacia.
* OnlyOneName
* OvershadowedByAwesome: An amusing play on this trope by Vivacious's own [[NiceHat alien head hat]], Ornacia, who during the photoshoot was said gave better face than she did!
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to some of the queens of her season, Vivacious is a very non-vocal queen, prefering to save her energy and emotions for the stage.
* SexyWalk: As you'll see in her runway's, she's got the fierce New York walk ''down''!
* WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon: Is originally from Jamaica.

----
* BorrowedCatchphrase: On her lipstick mirror message she borrows Yara Sofia's "Echa pa lante!" from [[ContinuityNod Season 3]].
* GetARoom: Told to by Michelle Visage when she and guest judge Music/AdamLambert get a bit too flirty during the critiques.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Made her grand entrance as a WorldWarII-era soldier/pin-up model, complete with a parachute. Yeah...[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/e028a648173ea4c45358115df5b1d8b9/tumblr_mzir0zkwBz1s7px1vo1_1280.jpg it's easier to show than describe]].
* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: "Carrion" is April's actual last name. In Spanish it's a fairly standard surname, but in English it means "rotting flesh," leading to a small amount of confusion when she didn't turn out to be a goth queen.
* ShesGotLegs: Caught guest judge Adam Lambert watching her (ahem) '[[UnusualEuphemism chicken legs]]'.
* SpicyLatina
* TheUnintelligible: Seems to be the strongest subversion in the show's turbulent history with Puerto Rican queens and the language barrier.

->'''Real Name''': Scotty Ichikawa

----
* AsianAirhead: Aside from being really pretty she's seeming to be defined as not particularly the brightest. Also happens to be the only Asian queen this season.
* BerserkButton: Don't call her ignorant or clock her look.
* BookDumb: She is [[{{Understatement}} not the brightest queen on the main stage]], for example, she has never heard of a [=DeLorean=] or a Tony Award, she seemed clueless as to why a 1960's horror movie would be in black and white, and she couldn't even get a [[ToiletHumor beans/fart joke]] until [[DontExplainTheJoke it was painfully explained to her]].
* CantTakeCriticism: Whenever the judges try to critique her, she'd just respond (or cut them off) with an enthusiastic but dismissive "Absolutely!" to their irritation.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Absolutely!"
** "Let me feel my oats!"
** "How is she though?"
* DefrostingIceQueen: Gia spent most of the first episode being a total shady bitch, but when Laganja tearfully recounts her distant relationship with her mother, Gia was the first to comfort her as she is in a similar boat with her own mother.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Not only a fishy queen in drag, but also quite girly even as a boy.
-->'''Vivacious:''' "Gia is still a ladyboy, in or out of geish."
* HiddenDepths: She comes off as very shallow, critical, uneducated, and annoying ... which to be fair she pretty much is. However, she has also been a Kabuki performer since the age of 5, and is versed on both male and female Kabuki.
** Was also shown to comfort Laganja after the latter broke down prior to heading out to their final lipsync, including hugging her and reassuring her.
* {{Hypocrisy}}: She dislikes messy queens, yet herself greeted the second half of the cast with a wonky eye (her eyelash glued wrong). And was later observed by the judges to have it crooked ''again'' during a later challenge.
* InSeriesNickname: "Kimora Lee Kardashian" after fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons and the Kardashian family.
* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the queens don't like her, clocking her as rude, airheaded, and unpolished. It doesn't help her case that she's very critical of her competitors, stating outright she does not like messy queens, cheap queens, or manly queens.
** JerkassHasAPoint: She was downright furious when it was herself and Laganja in the bottom two, after Milk struts down the runway out of drag (dressed as male [=RuPaul=], but still). The thing is, she's not wrong, it is a drag competition and even the judges point out it's borderline offensive that Milk would walk the catwalk as a man.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named herself after supermodel Gia Carangi, as well as the title character in the movie ''{{Film/Gia}}'' played by Angelina Jolie. Her last name is from her drag mother, who named herself after [[Series/ProjectRunway Tim Gunn]].
* PhraseCatcher: "G-G-G-Gia!" (to the tune of the Chia Pet jingle) In just the first episode Ru threw this phrase to Gia ''four times!''
* TheResenter: She really resented the fact that Milk was safe the night of her elimination since Milk had decided to dress up as as man on the runway, calling Milk a 'cross-dresser' and a 'troll' during her exit.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Gia was right that Milk should have been in more trouble for basically dressing as a man (remember the trouble Alaska and Milan both got into for doing something similar), but her reasons are petty and based on a rather shallow idea of what drag is.
* ShesGotLegs: Her legs are bronzed and tanned for the gods!
* SissyVillain: One of the shadiest queens of her season, and also noted for having an ultra-feminine style and manner at all times- in or out of drag.
* StealthInsult: "Stealth" may be giving her too much credit, but her farewell message was "Bring out the big Gunns '''DUDES'''," almost certainly a potshot at Milk.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Let me feel my oats!"
** Lampshaded by Alaska in her opening performance during the reunion episode. "Let me feel my...oats???"
* WeaksauceWeakness: An elitist fishy queen who reads others as messy and cheap, but cannot glue her lashes straight.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: When Gia made her entrance, she called herself "fresh tilapia." As Sharon Needles pointed out in the season recap episode (and Bianca would later point out), that's normally the ''cheapest'' fish in the store.
!Milk
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milkdr_2683.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Dan Donigan
->"Milk! She does a body good, girl!"
----
* AmbiguousGender: Purposely invokes this in her drag, deciding if she can't be as fishy as other queens, she can at least be more memorable. In just her first runway she strut the catwalk wearing a billy goat beard, giving the judges hermaphrodite realness.
** Also, the bolero jacket Milk wore in her first appearance came from [[http://www.newnownext.com/dont-cry-for-bianca-del-rio-milk-on-ice-drag-race-throwback-thursday/05/2014/ her figure-skating days]].
* ClubKid: Self-described.
* GagPenis: Most obvious during the top and bottom lipsynch mini-challenge, Pandora Boxx says it best during Drag Center ...
-->'''Pandora Boxx''': "Adore and Milk's junk win the mini-challenge!"
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: She admits that the reason she goes for unconventional runway looks is because she feels she can't compete with the others for fishiness. Ru and Michelle point out that this ultimately gives her a lack of versatility.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Quoted word for word by Ru in reaction to Milk's [=RuPaul=] inspired runway, when she came down the catwalk as "Workroom Ru", i.e. [=RuPaul=] out of drag.
* MrFanservice: Out of drag, she even says she's received a lot of comments from fans about how sexy she is as a boy.
* NiceGuy: A very sweet-natured queen, even when under fire from the other contestants.
* OnlyOneName: Her name is Milk, period.
** Occasionally she is referred to as Milk Queen.
* RunningGag: Her shtick seems to be making jokes or puns regarding milk. In just the before-season interview she refers to all her different looks as different types of milk, such as curdled milk, sour milk, as well as pasteurized and unpasteurized milk!
** The other queens have fun with this, too. After meeting Milk, Darienne calls herself "heavy cream", Courtney says in the confession cam "I normally don't do dairy, but I'll make an exception for Milk!", and after a heated argument, Adore comments that's Milk's gone sour and she must be past her expiration date.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: After being continuously told to bring more glamour and to not use camp as a crutch, come the hip-hop episode Milk struts the runway in a mermaid dress to appeal to the judges' aesthetic...and gets sent home anyway.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is easily the tallest queen of the season at 6'3, literally towering over her competition.
* StraightGay: In Boy Mode he's a classically handsome man and not someone you'd expect to be a drag queen.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: She considers herself as dressing as a drag queen as no different than putting on clown makeup, so some of her looks can easily cross into this territory.
!Laganja Estranja
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laganjadr_6427.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Jay Jackson
->"Well I'm young and hung and clearly march to the sound of my own drum, so props to ya, mama!"
----
* AffectionateNickname: Adore will casually call her "Ganj-Ganj".
* AttentionWhore: She's young, loud, and full of energy, 'Yes gawd!'
* AnimalMotifs: "I am the bird they want me to be!"
* BorrowedCatchPhrase: In a last ditch effort to create some sort of memetastic CatchPhrase, she borrows [=RuPaul=]'s own famous "gag on my eleganza!" and instead turns it into "gag on my ele-ganja!"
* CatchPhrase: "Come on <insert here>!" as well as her signature "OKRRR!"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While there were only hints of this in Laganja it became most obvious as the show got nearer towards her elimination. Her above quote, for instance, was said to no one in particular without any provocation, leading Bianca Del Rio to ask outright: "wait, where the hell did that come from?"
* [[WritersCannotDoMath Drag Queens Cannot Do Math]]: Confronted about this by Bianca after her emotional meltdown that she had been waiting "24 years" for a sign of support from her parents...despite ''also'' saying they always supported her being gay and only objected to her doing drag. But then in a different episode she said has only been doing drag for two years. Once Bianca realized the numbers didn't add up, she called bullshit on the whole story.
* DramaQueen: A big example would be when she gets into it with Adore in the Untucked lounge, when she claims that although she doesn't remember what Adore said, or when she said it, or where she said it, that Adore said "something" that really hurt her feelings. Adore calls bullshit on Laganja for this.
** Accused of this by Bianca, especially regarding Laganja's relationship with her parents. Mama and Papa Estranja were loving and supportive about everything apart from the drag career, which they later came around to. Bianca suspected Laganja of playing up the issue to get attention and sympathy.
* GenkiGirl: Has a very loud and excitable personality, and loves to spout out quotables any chance she gets ... although Ru is quite sure the whole act is just a thinly veiled façade.
* InelegantBlubbering: Couldn't get through a single ''Untucked'' without doing this.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: In her voice over for her first runway, she appears to be extremely confident in her first runway... until Untucked, when she comes down extremely hard on herself. She's already prepared to lip sync, even though her outfit could've only been at worst the fourth worst outfit on the runway.
* ItsAllAboutMe: A strangely non-malevolent example, but every bit as melodramatic. During ''Untucked'' she got a message from her Mom and Dad who she's expressed missing and growing distant from in the past few years. When the other queens attempted to joke and lighten the mood and discuss their relationships with their own parents, Laganja completely blew up at them for stealing her moment.
** It continues into next week too which completely pisses Bianca off.
* LargeHam: She's Alyssa Edwards' drag daughter and it shows.
* NiceHat: In boy mode when she dances into the workroom wearing what looks like a [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/laganja-turban.jpg macrame plant hanger]] on her head, even Ru was taken back when she saw the odd choice in headgear.
** In the comedy challenge episode, she rips the "No Smoking" sign out of her hotel room and wears it in her hair.
* OnceAnEpisode: Until her elimination, it seemed contractually obligated for her to have a breakdown and make a scene in every episode of ''Untucked''.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Clocked by Adore and Bianca when she remarks that she has heart in the competition, insinuating that Adore doesn't and is being unfairly mean to her.
* PunnyName: Her drag name is La''ganja'' afterall, but you can also refer to her as [[TheStoner Miss Mary Jane, Little Miss 420, or for the Latin folk, La Marijuana]].
* TheResenter: Admits via ConfessionCam that she's upset that Adore is doing well in the competition, while she herself is either safe or in the bottom, when she feels her drag style is on a much higher level than Adore's.
* ShesGotLegs: Like her drag momma before, her legs are ''everything!''
* SignatureMove: The death drop, even if the situation doesn't particularly call for it.
* StealthInsult: In regards to her friendship with Adore, Laganja says several times that her over-the-top personality is genuine and is how she acts with her "real friends" ... which obviously does not include Adore, since Adore states she's never seen Laganja act that way before.
* TheStoner: A proud self-admitted stoner, as she's said during the show, 'if it's not green, then she's not into it'.
* ThisIsACompetition: Adore clocks her on her competitiveness, stating that although they're friends she knows how serious Estranja takes competition.
* VerbalTic: Takes the stock "kiki" voice many queens use and turns it UpToEleven, so she can barely get out a sentence without tacking on "MOMMA" or "OKRRR?" at the end. She was called out on this, as most of her competitors and judges clocked it as the MostAnnoyingSound.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Was a complete MommasBoy as a child, and her mother is [[MommyIssues very critical]] of her being a drag queen. She hopes that being on the show will prove to her mother that she can be successful and happy even if she's in drag.
** Also has this to a lesser extent with her drag mother Alyssa Edwards, who according to her hired her at her dance studio and initially expressed doubt at Laganja's ability to drag but was eventually convinced.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: A frequent accusation towards the end of her stay in the competition. For one example, see Drag Queens Cannot Do Math above.
!Trinity K. Bonet
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trinitydr_2752.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Joshua Jones
->"I'm as close as you're gonna get to Music/{{Beyonce}}"
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Continually refers to Chaz Bono as ''Chad'' during the interview segment.
* AlwaysSecondBest: Despite constantly beating herself up, there were three challenges where Trinity did very well but just barely missed winning: the party dress, the makeup commercial, and the stand-up. Worse, the only one where she didn't lose to [[TheRival Bianca]] was when she was paired up with her. Even at the end, when she or Joslyn were likely to win Miss Congeniality, [=DeLa=]'s surprise elimination caused fans to vote for ''her'' instead.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Bianca asks point blank what she does well, Trinity can't come up with a response.
** Although there are little things one may notice (Trinity's drink) that may make you wonder whether or not Trinity had no answer for the question or if it was a case of producers editing the moment for more drama. At least this could be the case for more cynical viewers.
* BerserkButton: Her trouble with enunciation has become one ever since the judges have critiqued her on her dental flippers.
* BlackAndNerdy: You wouldn't think it at first, but she's named after Trinity from ''Franchise/TheMatrix'', and her first runway look was inspired by Princess Amidala from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* CantTakeCriticism: Was called on it during critiques in the Musical Episode.
* CelebrityImpersonator: One of her life ambitions as a drag performer is to be a professional Creator/{{Beyonce}}-illusionist in Las Vegas.
* FlatCharacter: Bianca clocks her on a personality that is a dead ringer to a corpse she knew back in New Orleans.
** Averted as the season progresses and she shows HiddenDepths.
* HiddenDepths: In her pre-show interview and the sneak peak of the second premier, she came across as just another self-absorbed Creator/{{Beyonce}}-impersonating glamour queen--which she doesn't deny being--not helped when she chose the "Princess Party" kit for her first runway look. However, she unexpectedly went with a ''Star Wars'' theme as mentioned above, and in ''Untucked'' she was very level-headed, likable (her friction with Bianca notwithstanding), and a voice of reason.
** She does unexpectedly well during the stand-up challenge that Rupaul is moved to tears with how proud she is
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Feels the rest of the queens are a lot stronger than she is and she just doesn't know if she can compete on their level. The other queens even notice that half the time it looks like Trinity's already given up and is hardly putting in an effort.
* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: Admitted to being HIV positive during one episode of ''Untucked''. Also qualifies as HandicappedBadass since it so far doesn't seem to have done much to stop her.
* InSeriesNickname / IronicNickname: Bianca has taken to sarcastically referring to her as "Beyoncé" ... ironic that although Trinity considers herself as close to Beyoncé as you can get, Bianca's opinion of her is the exact opposite.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Legally, the K. in her middle name stands for nothing. However...
** NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In addition to the ''Matrix'' reference, she also says the K. in her name stands for [[{{Creator/KimKardashian}} Kardashian]].
* NiceGuy: The only person Trinity is ever hard on is herself! To the other queens she's kind hearted and supportive, giving encouragement to Joslyn, Laganja and Dela when they were struggling.
* NiceHat: The colorful rhinestoned baseball cap she wears in boy mode.
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: During the Reading challenge, she reads ''herself'' by pulling off her clip-in ponytail and joking about her damaged hair.
* TheQuietOne: Tries to stay reserved, especially during ''Untucked'', hoping to avoid becoming the hot topic among the other queens ... however her being so quiet just causes the queens to try and figure out why she's acting so mopey.
* ThisIsACompetition: A non-malevolent example, she takes the judges' critiques very seriously and gets down on herself for it. The rest of the queens continuously attempt to convince her not to take the criticisms to heart, however Trinity keeps trying to point out they are in a competition show, and the critiques ''do'' matter since they could get her sent home.
* ToothyIssue: She wears dental flippers in drag since her natural grill is rather crooked.
* TheUnintelligible: She's a bit of a mushmouth while wearing her [[ToothyIssue dental flippers]], especially when she sings.
!Joslyn Fox
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joslyndr_215.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Patrick Joslyn
->"Try me [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]], I'm a [[GoshDangItToHeck motherfishin']] Drag Queen!"
----
* AesopAmnesia: The judges are baffled when after being critiqued on her "multi swimsuit and accessory" look from last week she proceeds to come out in the Black & White challenge wearing essentially the same thing.
* {{Adorkable}}: A huge part of her charm.
* BerserkButton: Ignorant, mean queens. Caused a small shouting match between her and Gia Gunn.
* BrokenPedestal: Joslyn Fox idolized Courtney Act prior to season 6, but some harsh critiques and shade from the latter pretty much ended that.
* CatchPhrase: "Hey Ruzy Q!" whenever [=RuPaul=] would check on Joslyn in the workroom, also a rare instance of Ru being a PhraseCatcher for once, as she's normally the Phrase Pitcher to her queens.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Established from the start when she opens her Quinceañera party box and has to be told what she thought were "house numbers" represent her age. *holds up numbers proudly* "Fifty-one!"
* CuteButCacophonic: Her Fran Drescher impersonation is uncanny (though she doesn't play her for the Snatch Game) and her voice gets compared to a dial-up modem.
* {{Determinator}}: This was her fourth time auditioning to the show, and she says the only reason she feels she got in this season was because she stopped trying to give what she thought Ru was looking for, and instead decided to just [[BeYourself be herself]].
* TheDitz: See MalaProper for one of the earlier examples
* FollowTheLeader: Her extremely awkward "X came from Y's vagina!" intro during the interview with Chaz Bono and Georgia Holt was most likely inspired by Alaska from Season 5. When Chaz was a guest judge that season, Alaska said in the confession cam, "I love Chaz Bono, he came from Cher's vagina!" The difference, however, is that Alaska wasn't sitting right in front of them when she said it.
* HandsomeLech: A shameless flirt, in just the first episode she fangirled over Courtney, revealed her deep crush on Pit Crew member Shawn, and said outright she wants to run her tongue over Santino's bald head, and this is all in just her first episode!
* HiddenDepths: The other girls weren't expecting much from her come the first acting challenge, but she proved to be surprisingly funny! GASP!
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Won the mini challenge and got to decide the order of the queens in the stand up comedy challenge, which backfired ''spectacularly'' when she put herself in front of Bianca, the closer, and as a result looked weak by comparison and wound up having to lipsync. The judges even directly ask WhatWereYouThinking
* TheHyena: She's easily the most laugh-happy queen of this season, it's just a shame her laugh is more of a ...
** AnnoyingLaugh: ... with her squeaks, snrks, and snorts, which the show hilariously replaced with the sound of a dial-up modem connecting.
* MalaProper: During a cam she proudly states she hopes she becomes the "Blackhorse" of the competition ... after which the producer had to confirm she really meant "[[EnsembleDarkhorse Darkhorse]]".
** She does it again in the stand-up challenge...in the confessional and not part of said stand-up: "I know that stand-up comedy is not my cup of soup...cup of tea...cup-a-bowl-of-what? Cup of tea. This is not my cup of tea."
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, was known as "the queen with nine bikinis" after she wore essentially the same multi-swimsuit ensemble two weeks in a row ... ''after'' the judges told her they didn't like it the first week.
* NiceGuy: Seems the most upbeat and least abrasive of the queens this season, she even puts up with ''every single one'' of Bianca's insults with a big smile and a giggle.
* NoSocialSkills: Her behavior on the show dances the line between this trope and CloudCuckooLander, but she gets scolded outright by Michelle Visage for her lack of social skills after bringing up Georgia Holt's [[DudeNotFunny almost abortion of Cher]] during a Talk Show interview challenge. It's implied the only reason she didn't wind up lipsyncing for that was that her apology to Georgia for it sounded genuine, and that Georgia wasn't ''offended'' by the question, she simply wasn't expecting it.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: She tried really hard in the competition, but just seemed to fall short of the other queens. She considered herself [[DudeLooksLikeALady really feminine]], but couldn't compete with Courtney Act, was a [[TheDitz lovable ditz]], but was outshined by Adore Delano, and hoped she would [[EnsembleDarkhorse strike a chord with the fans]] and win Miss Congeniality, but was overshadowed by [=BenDeLaCreme=]'s popularity.
* RummageSaleReject: Purposely invoked in her look as she loves to wear tons of extra accessories and jewelry in order to compensate for looking too much like a real woman while in drag.
* ShesGotLegs: Although she won't deny with the way she eats, one of them may be wooden.
* SignatureMove: Her little "whomp-whomp" breast jiggle when she's 'keeping it foxy'. Ru's sees her off with one of her own after Joslyn's elimination, and at the start of the next episode the remaining queens give a sort of "whomp-whomp" salute in her honor.
* SilkHidingSteel: When Gia started reading Milk, she stepped in with a surprising amount of force considering her NiceGuy personality.
* {{Squick}}: In-universe, during the Horror-themed Untucked the queens were asked to play the childhood game of sticking their hands into a box to guess it's contents by touch alone. When it came to an (unused) adult diaper filled with cream corn though, Joselyn starts loudly gagging and retching by the reveal.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Certainly not the worst offender of this trope in ''Drag Race'' history, but coupled with her RummageSaleReject taste in jewelry, the judges are baffled at how she can be wearing so much, and still be so naked at the same time!
![=BenDeLaCreme=]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bendr_3315.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Benjamin Putnam
->"Yes, '[=DeLa=]' for short, 'De' for shorter, 'Ms. Creme' [[{{Music/JanetJackson}} if you're nasty]]!"
----
* BadassBaritone: She drops the growl of a voice while in drag, though.
* BecomingTheMask: A common criticism from Michelle Visage was that Ben was always "in-character" as [=BeDeLaCreme=] instead of letting the judges see her true personality. According to Visage, this ultimately made Ben less engaging than her fellow competitors.
* ComplimentBackfire: Happens when she quips that Bianca Del Rio is 'sailing through the competition'. She claims she meant it as a compliment that Bianca is so talented and versatile the challenges all come easy to her, but Bianca took it negatively, accusing [=DeLa=] on reading her as lazy and not really giving it her all.
* FormerlyFat: Was bullied in middle school for being "too fat, too gay and too weird".
* GenderBlenderName: Subverted. While "Ben" is her first name, the other queens call her "[=DeLa=]" since it's more feminine-sounding (despite meaning "of the"). Although now the queens and even judges sometimes refer to her as Bendela or Benda.
* GenkiGirl: Self-described as "terminally delightful", and clocked by Michelle Visage for having a personality that could get ''real'' annoying ''real'' fast.
* GratuitousFrench: Chose her drag name because it's French, even though she doesn't actually speak French. See also: the point of her whole rap in Oh No She Betta Don't.[[note]]Well it's [=DeLa=] to the Creme, I'm the fatal femme but I got the candy coating so they call me Creminem, that's cream en francais, voulez wanna couchez, avec four fly ladies that be coming your way.[[/note]]
* IdenticalStranger: When she's introduced, everyone comments on how much she looks like Michelle Visage. Dela can't see the resemblance at all because she's had her face for so long.
* InSeriesNickname: Michelle Visage starts calling her "Bendela", which Ru and the rest of the queens quickly adapt. During ''Whatcha Packin' with Michelle Visage'' she admits that prior to the show, this was what Jinkx would normally call her as well.
* MissingMom: The death of her mother in her adolescent years hit her hard.
* NiceGirl: Season six's ''Miss Congeniality''.
* NoSocialSkills: To a degree. She's usually charming, but has put her foot in it several times without intending to be malicious. She tried to compliment Bianca by saying she was "sailing through" the competition, which Bianca interpreted as "coasting through", as in just doing enough to get by and not really trying.
* OverlyLongGag: Her lipstick elimination message on the mirror filled up the entire mirror in rather small print, jokingly explained to have been made so long and pointless just so she could force Darienne to have to clean and clean and clean and ''clean'' to wipe off. [[note]]"Dear top 4- howz it going? I'm doing pretty good. Sometimes you have to have Mama Ru yell atcha a bunch of times before it sinks in. I guess I neverreached that number of times, Darienne. I knew the second I was up against you i waz out the door. You get it lady. I wish you all the luck in the world and only harbor enough resentment to write a long pointless message that you will have to clean and clean and clean and clean. But fo real tho you girlz are my heroes. XX BDLC"[[/note]]
* PlayingGertrude: Her forte, although between playing the crazy old mother in the ''Scream Queens'' challenge and Maggie Smith from ''DowntonAbbey'' for the Snatch Game, the judges have said they've seen enough of her old lady schtick.
* PunnyName: Her name is based on the phrase "Crème de La Crème".
* SmallNameBigEgo: At least Darienne seems to think so after [=DeLa=] congratulates herself on being the first queen of the season to win two challenges.
-->'''Darienne Lake''': [=BenDeLaCreme=], you remind me of a Russian doll ... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Full. Of. Your. Self.]]
* StraightGay: In boy mode, which is in stark contrast with her bubbly, effervescent drag persona.
* WhatTheHellHero: Bianca calls out her behavior in ''Untucked'' about questioning Darienne as to why she wasn't picked for Miss Lake's hip hop group, since Bianca felt it was extremely disrespectful towards the group [=DeLa=] did get instead.
* WideEyedIdealist: Her drag character's main characteristic is she's relentlessly upbeat about everything.
!Miss Darienne Lake
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dariennedr_5141.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Greg Meyer
->"Some of the queens are pretty, I'm prettier; some of them are funny, I'm [[BigFun funnier]]; and some of them are big, but I'm [[BigBeautifulWoman bigger]]!"
----
* BigBeautifulWoman: She's [[BigFun two tons of fun]] of twisted steel and sex appeal!
* BigFun: Loves cracking jokes, and is quite the hilarious plus-sized queen!
* DarkAndTroubledPast: During her dinner with [=RuPaul=], they talk about Darienne being kicked out of her home, in which Darienne's mother gave her a 'strong invitation' to move out due to practicing her gay lifestyle despite her mother thinking homosexuals were lesser people.
* DeadpanSnarker: Perfectly capable of reading someone to filth with a sweet smile on her face.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Using her own big, beautiful body instead of any breast illusion, she can make the kittens dance with the finesse of a seasoned queen!
* {{Hypocrite}}: Has said she considers sleeping with another queen to be gross ... however one might remember her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8QYP_x01o appearing on the Ricki Lake show]] in which she was dating fellow drag queen, Pandora Boxx. But since this was over twenty years ago, it's possible that the experience put her off the idea.
* LargeHam: A boon that won her the 'Scream Queens' challenge while playing the minor role of a [[DemonicPossession demon-possessed]] [[LosingYourHead severed head in a box]].
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: In the music video for 'Sissy That Walk' she had a scene with Charles ([=RuPaul=]) in which the two were former lovers before Charles left her for good ... at least that was the plan, but after the take Darienne started [[ChewingTheScenery throwing a tantrum in-character that was so over the top]] it left both Ru and director Mathu Anderson speechless. Charles/Ru even comes back into the scene and offers to take Darienne back again, completely unscripted! Darienne probably would have ''won'' this challenge had it not been the finale.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Well, some''where'' famous. She's named after Darien Lake, an amusement park located between Buffalo and Rochester, New York.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Despite several of the queens being quite hunky in boy mode, Darienne is positively [[{{Squick}} squicked]] by the notion of sleeping with any of them, saying that having sex with another queen (even if they are out of drag) is gross.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Sometimes she would try to rattle her competitors cage using this tactic.
* PhraseCatcher: 'Dip into the waters of Darienne Lake'
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: "This body seats six!", and later she dubs her Eartha Kitt's Catwoman runway look as "Girth-a Kitt".
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Had the music video been a regular challenge, Darienne would have certainly won. But as the final challenge, she was judged for the whole season, causing her elimination and meaning that her over-the-top performance in "Sissy that Walk" was for naught.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], although her drag name is technically ''Miss'' Darienne Lake, shes actually pretty lax on the whole 'Miss' part.
* ThisIsACompetition: Makes sure to berate [=DeLa=] when the latter admitted to giving Adore an easy theme for the Drag Ball, stating that if it were up to her, she would have sooner put Adore in cement shoes and called it a day. She came on the show for a crown and the $100,000, and says outright she will help herself before she helps anyone else.
* TookALevelInJerkass: During the hip-hop challenge when Darienne was picking teams she didn't pick [=DeLa=], much to the latter's surprise. The real jerkassery comes in when Ben asks Darienne why she wasn't picked for her team, to which Miss Lake simply replies that it's "none of your [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] business."
** The other queens finally call her out on her jerkassery in the Talk Show episode of ''Untucked'', mentioning how she seems to be snapping at everyone (instead of just [=DeLa=]). Even Bianca says she's acting like a hateful bitch, which coming from Bianca is saying something!
* UnknownRival: Starting to become a reoccurring thing with her, she will criticize one of the other queens in the ConfessionCam and act like it's turning into a rivalry without any real payoff. So far she's had odds with Gia and Milk ...
** TheRival: She ultimately found her rival for the season in [=DeLa=], who was completely caught off-guard since there had been no bad blood between herself and Darienne previously.
* YankTheDogsChain: She was the underdog in the final four, having lip synched for her life three times prior and was very unlikely to move into the final three. When Ru makes the announcement for the final queens, she says Darienne's name first ... then says she's the one who was eliminated (opposite of how it usually works). You can literally see the heartbreak on Darienne's face when she realizes she's been sent home.

->'''Real Name''': Danny Noriega
->"For all those queens telling me I'm not polished enough, I just want them to know that I'm polish remover, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!"
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Unlike previous queens who qualify, Adore wears this trope as a badge of honor, proudly stating that she doesn't fit in with society ''or'' other drag queens.
* AnimeHair: While sometimes donning classic blond, Adore seems to favor unusual hair colors in her drag, from [[RoseHairedSweetie rosey pink]] to [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair aquamarine teal]] to [[FieryRedhead dark tomato red]].
* AsideGlance: When Laganja has one of her many breakdowns and Gia says to her how she knows what it's like to be a sensitive person, Adore briefly looks at the camera like "Seriously?"
* BrilliantButLazy: She's armed with tons of raw talent and charisma, but Adore stumbled a few times when her poor focus and lack of work-ethic let her down. Best illustrated in the horror movie challenge, where she assigned roles randomly without thought to who would perform best in them, failed to rehearse the scene before filming, and walked on-set without knowing her cues.
* CatchPhrase: "Party!" Although "Fuck!" and "I'm a Libra" are also high up there.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Likes to describe herself as that one [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles glittery crayon]] you find in special boxes of crayons, and claims she can feel the psychic energy between her fellow queens.
* DisappearedDad: Has a broken relationship with her father, brought on by her dad saying he was ashamed of his son for being so feminine. Adore, however, says she's over it and has no desire to reconcile with him at this point, to which Ru agrees that it's his loss, not Adore's.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Self-admitted, which is why the transition to drag seemed to come so naturally for her. She even compared herself out of drag as looking like a lesbian [[Music/TheJonasBrothers Jonas brother]].
** LadyLooksLikeADude: Does not know how to cinch her waist, which results in her giving the judges "hog body" as she puts it. This really irked Michelle Visage, since she had to give Adore the same critique two weeks in a row.
* FanCommunityNickname: A mean-spirited one brought on by Adore's BaseBreaker status, but her fans are often referred to as [=DAFs=], "[[FunWithAcronyms Delusional Adore Fans]]".
* HairstyleMalfunction: Seems to have a few issues securing her wig in place. She had to keep tugging it down during her acting challenge ''when she was supposed to be getting electrocuted'', and it came loose again during her lipsynch with Trinity.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Touched on when she admitted early in the competition she did not bring much with her in the way of wardrobe, however this gets expanded on after the final three when she reveals to Michelle Visage that she ''does'' in fact own a lot more clothes and wigs (and even several corsets) but didn't bother bringing them to the show because she was sure she would be going home by the second week. One has to wonder if she would have done even better in the competition (maybe even won the show) if she had taken things seriously from the start.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite stating that she's proud to be an outcast from the drag scene, it's obvious during the competition the fact that she's had to constantly prove herself to other queens has taken a toll on her confidence.
* {{Keet}}
* TheKlutz: Was accused of pulling a [[ThePratfall pratfall]] in the first episode for attention, but claims she's not attention-starved, she just likes rocking back and forth in her chair and occasionally falls over.
* MeaningfulName: As she tells it, Adore is short for adorable, because that's what she is. Also, Delano means 'at night', but in some languages also means 'swampy' or 'anus' ... so her name basically stands for a swampy anus at night.
* NaiveNewcomer: Despite her outstanding charisma she was very naïve in the ways of drag, like when she admitted to Michelle Visage that she does own several corsets (although didn't bring any of them with her), but doesn't even know how to lace them up properly. Even Ru said she embodies that young talent that just doesn't know what she's doing yet.
* OfCorsetsFunny: Adore's "hog-body" and the corset gifted to her by Bianca become a RunningGag and the subject of a few reads.
* OhCrap: Her signature gulp, when she was nervous or up for some harsh critique, at the end of the competition Courtney even mentions how she'll miss Adore's audible gulp.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Claims to be a mermaid, which is the reason why she is such a phenomenal singer.
* ProperlyParanoid: When she and Laganja make up over a fight they shared in ''Untucked'', Adore says outright she does not buy the apology since she feels Laganja just considers her a PoorMansSubstitute of herself, and shouldn't be doing so well in the competition ... which is ''exactly'' what Laganja admits to during a ConfessionCam. It also shows that although Adore may come off as a little dim, she's a little more perceptive than she looks.
* RageBreakingPoint: She hits one rather early in the season, after being saddled with making a dress using ''Series/HereComesHoneyBooBoo'' leftovers, add to the fact she can't sew, Adore finally loses it after realizing she's accidentally glued her dress to her mannequin, slamming her dress form to the floor, breaking it apart, and ripping her costume off the figure.
* TheRival: As fans had speculated with both herself and Courtney being former ''Idols'', as well as on opposing teams in the Musical challenge, a rivalry between the two singing queens was inevitable.
** Although it seems the rivalry was played up in the commercials. Aside from passing comments about there being pressure to do well because of Courtney's idol background Adore seemed quite interested and even a little impressed that Courtney did it in drag.
* ShapedLikeItself: As team leader, her strategy was "strategically strategized".
* SirSwearsALot: To the point where "Fuck!" is jokingly considered her CatchPhrase, right up there with "Party!" In fact, the first thing she says when walking into the workroom was "Fuck yeah!"
* ValleyGirl: Bonus points for being from (and constantly referencing) Azusa, CA, which is -just- outside the Trope Naming San Fernando valley.
* WesternZodiac: Likes to follow astrology, and for the record, she's a Libra.
!Courtney Act
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/courtneydr_6470.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Shane Jenek
->"Everyone else is relying on ugly, why can't I rely on pretty?!"
----
* AHeroToHisHometown: Courtney has some celebrity status in Australia due to being a finalist in the first season of ''Australian Idol''.
* TheAce: Joslyn more or less implies that Courtney thinks of herself as this.
* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: A drag import from Sydney, Australia.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she's generally nice and encouraging that doesn't mean she can't be very critical, like when she talks smack about Milk's inability to do glamour or critiques Joslyn's looks as being not on the same level.
* BrutalHonesty: Was considered a bitch for saying that she didn't think that Joslyn's outfit for the runway was very polished but during the ConfessionCam stated she was only intending to help Joslyn and didn't mean it as a read.
* CondescendingCompassion: Accused of this by Joslyn after she says Joslyn's drag isn't on the same level as the rest of the queens and then offers to let her have some of her stuff to gets her runway looks up to another level.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Her promo pic alone has caused many to call her the fishiest queen in the show's history. Justified as she's genderfluid, and even has [[{{Polyamory}} several boyfriends]] (and a lot of casual trade) who otherwise identify as straight.
* FacePalm: Did this in during a ConfessionCam with an resigned "Oh god, Laganja" during another one of Laganja's tantrums.
* GracefulLoser: Stated that even if she didn't win the show she would be absolutely happy with where she placed.
* GranolaGirl: Her post-Drag Race vlogs and Twitter account show that she's a practicing vegan and prefers having as much healthy, organic, or cruelty-free options she can find.
* InSeriesNickname: "Australia's Next Drag Superstar", not an official title by any means, but Courtney still likes to refer herself as this and uses it as her reason of why she should also be crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar".
* LovableAlphaBitch: This is the edit she seems to have gotten from the show, although as she approached the Final 3 her AlphaBitch tendencies seemed to increase.
* MuscleAngst: She gets both the male and female versions of this trope. She talks about feeling too skinny as a man compared to the [[GymBunny gym bunnies]] of [[{{Gayborhood}} West Hollywood]], but at the same time she's worried that bulking up would hurt her image as Courtney.
* PunnyName: In Australia her name sounds like "Caught in the act", although she admits the joke is [[AccentDepundent a bit lost in the U.S.]] without the Australian accent.
** In a minor PetTheDog, Ru's [[PhraseCatcher catch phrase]] for Courtney isn't a phrase, but to pronounce her name with an Aussie accent so that the pun is present.
*** It gets to the point that other queens start to do it too so Courtney will always have her pun.
* TheRival: The fires were sparked when she first met Adore, but fanned to full flame in the Musical challenge, as the two ''Idols'' starts trying to outshine each other just practicing their lyrics in the workroom. Although their "rivalry" pretty much fizzled after said Musical Theater episode.
** She and Joslyn become this later on, although Courtney has made it clear she doesn't think Joslyn is on her level.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Seems to have become a little meaner and meaner the closer the show gets to it's finale. Courtney even lampshades this by saying that the show is starting to feel more like a competition the less queens there are.
* SelfDeprecation: During the acting challenge in the music video pokes fun at herself for not really speaking with an Australian accent any longer.
* ShesGotLegs: This is possibly the leggiest season of Drag Race ever, and Courtney with her body-ody-ody is no exception.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Ru accuses her of resting on pretty, despite the fact she has always performed well in acting challenges and even won the Musical Theater challenge. Courtney even says outright she's not sure why she's getting the "stop relying on that body" warning since she really is quite talented and versatile.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Courtney bragging about being able to nail every challenge easily is starting to look like this to some of the other queens.
** Her constantly referencing her Australian celebrity status reads as this, especially since in America she's a Youtube star at best. She styles herself "Australia's Drag Superstar" and although that's not an official title, she still uses it a reason why she should also be America's Drag Superstar.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Loves to show off her body-ody-ody ... so much so that by the end of the season, the judges actually critique her on her over-reliance on showing skin.
* TheStoic: Has been criticized for her responses sounding canned, and herself has admitted that she can come off [[TheStepfordWives Stepfordy]] at times.
* VocalDissonance: Her voice while out of drag is a bit of a shock, as it is quite naturally soft and feminine.
!Bianca Del Rio
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/biancadr_45.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Roy Haylock
->"We’re drag queens in a fucking competition, the only thing worse is prison!"
----
* TheAce: Won 3 challenges and never landed in the bottom, making her the leader of the pack in terms of statistics. After she won, she was also voted the most popular of all [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0wGaSPtbfw winners.]]
* BerserkButton: De La's comment that Bianca was "sailing through" the competition was one of the few things that got under Bianca's skin. A case of PoorCommunicationKills, as De La meant it as a compliment to her versatility and talent, and not that she was coasting by.
* BoringButPractical: Ironically enough, Bianca's seamstress skills started her off as the The Cast Showoff, however she specializes in a similar silhouette for her outfits. Eventually the judges call her out on the fact that although her dresses are always fabulous, they've grown bored with seeing the same gown week after week in different fabrics.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: She loves to use Judge Judy's "BALONEY!" when calling out the other queens.
* BrickJoke: During the hiphop challenge, guest judge Trina comments that Bianca's style is very "wide 'n sassy", and Bianca jokes that that was her nickname in prison. A few episodes later, the queens are given a mini-challenge where they have to put together a prison drag look; each queen is given a nickname onscreen, and you can guess what Bianca's was.
* BrutalHonesty: Insult comedy aside, she's a very brutally honest queen, she doesn't believe in throwing shade, she throws the truth ... sometimes right into the other queens' faces.
* BullyHunter: Despite throwing BrutalHonesty left right and centre, Bianca can't stand bullying and has stood up for a few queens a number of times. It gets to the point where Ben de la Creme prays Bianca will notice Darienne picking on her and come to the rescue.
* CantTakeCriticism: During the stand-up challenge, Bianca playfully rants, "I will show you versatility when [[AlwaysSecondBest Santino wins a sewing competition]] and [[BigBreastPride Michelle wears a fucking turtleneck]]!" But she's actually one of the few queens this season to take critiques gracefully.
* CatchPhrase: An exasperated "Really, queen?" when one of her competitors is acting the fool.
** "Not today Satan!"
* CoolOldLady: Many of her competitors, especially Adore, refer to her this way. What else can you expect at the [[HollywoodOld ripe old age of 37?]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* DefrostingIceQueen: Says that the competition really touched her icy little heart, and that the whole ordeal put a few cracks into the walls she's built up into her personality over the years.
* DontCallMeSir: While it is not at all uncommon for older and more tenured drag queens to be given endearing motherly nicknames, Bianca very frankly tells Laganja to stop calling her "momma", although that's mostly a result of the friction between the two.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Has something of this role for the other queens who fall back on excuses, but also sincerely congratulates them when they overcome them.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Her stage outfit in the Season 7 finale episode was a glittery silver PimpedOutDress...and her face literally covered in [[https://instagram.com/p/3adDQzDT2W/ glitter.]]
* HatesEveryoneEqually: The season's recap episode listed the top fights of the season with the #1 listed simply as "Bianca vs. the world".
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She has admitted she's met some lovely people here but this is not Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantyhose. However, even Adore has admitted after the show that Bianca has a huge heart, and she already seems to be in a good friendship with Courtney Act.
-->"I made a friend. Me. ''Friend.''"
* InSeriesNickname: "A damn seamstress!" due to her impressive sewing skills, something of a growing rarity for queens in Drag Race. The nickname is actually a callback to Alyssa Edwards in Season 5 saying "I might not be funny, or a singer, or a damn seamstress, but I am a fierce queen." Bianca ''is'' a damn seamstress.
* InsultComic: Describes herself as Creator/DonRickles in a dress ... but prettier and not quite as old.
* JerkassHasAPoint: For all the things she says, there's usually a point behind it. Trinity's excuses are the main thing.
-->"So let me ask you a fair question. What is it you do successfully? Quickly."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all her outer abrasiveness, she does show her softer side, like letting Adore use her cincher, and congratulating Trinity for both delivering a strong lipsynch and coming out as HIV positive. Even when she does hurl insults, she [[JerkassHasAPoint usually makes a very good point]] and won't put down someone just because she dislikes them or their drag style.
* OhCrap: Her reaction to discovering that her pick for the Snatch Game, Series/JudgeJudy, is in fact [=RuPaul=]'s favorite person ever.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to the other queens, her pragmatic attitude keeps things in perspective. As she puts it:
-->"We're drag queens in a fucking competition! The only thing worse is fucking prison!"
* PaletteSwap: Has a collection of gorgeous gowns, but as De La put it, they're 50 of the same dress in different fabrics.
* PetTheDog: "Don't tell any one I'm being nice", right before helping out her competitor Adore Delano before a runway.
** She had another one earlier that same episode, when she asks everyone to stop and give Trinity kudos on a great lip-lynch, despite the friction the two have had during the show.
** She also helped Ben and Laganja with their make up just prior to the Snatch Game
* PhraseCatcher: Near the end of the season, Ru started to refer towards Bianca more and more often with "Blame it on Bianca Del Rio!"
* SadClown: Has said she uses comedy as a way to protect herself from being hurt by others, to the point where the other queens were dubious that she could say ''anything'' without a nasty comment or a joke added in.
* SelfDeprecation: Especially during the stand up comedy routine.
-->My mother is from Cuba and my dad is from Honduras, which basically means I have a large dick, no credit and a tendency to take things that don't belong to me.
* StraightGay: When in boy mode.
* TakeThat: She says point blank that too many previous Drag Race contestants are releasing music singles because they "think they can sing", although she does not name specific names.
* TeamMom: She'll read you to filth, but she's always the first to dole out no-nonsense, rational advice, and lend a cincher.
-->'''Bianca Del Rio''': "Shake it off. Pretend it's gas and leave it in the hallway."
* ThisIsACompetition: She's in a drag competition, and it's every clown for them-fucking-selves!
* UncannyValleyMakeup / {{Hypocrisy}}: Despite joking about other queens on their bad makeup, she herself was read on her lack of blending.
* VitriolicBestBuds: As far as from the last Untucked, she's this with Adore and Courtney. Especially Adore.
* VocalDissonance: Did pretty much nothing to disguise her natural voice in drag, which just added to the hilarity.
* {{Workaholic}}: Self-admitted in interviews before and after the show. As [=DeLa's=] "Bianca" puppet puts it:
--> '''[=DeLa=]''': Looks like your lace-front is coming off...\\
'''"Bianca"''': [[NoIndoorVoice BALONEY! I HAVE NO PROBLEMS! I LIVE IN NEW YORK! I WORK ALL THE TIME!]]

->'''Real Name''': Kelly Mantle
->"Don't you know who I think I am?"
----
* BaconAddiction: Accidentally invoked, her one and only runway look crafted after ''Series/DowntonAbbey'' was made from a giant silk flower, however Michelle Visage pointed out the effect looked more like raw bacon than flower petals. Also in subversion of this trope, the judges unanimously agreed in this one instance, Kelly's dress was definitely ''not'' better with bacon!
* BiTheWay
* BrilliantButLazy: She's a well-rounded TV queen with almost two decades of drag experience under her belt, yet when she first arrived on the show the other queens commented how they found her neon-heart dress uninspired, and later the judges took offense to the fact she seemed to be wearing a "shake-n-go wig". To many fans it seemed Kelly was phoning in her performance, assuming she could just coast by on safe for the first few challenges.
* CoolUncle: Not one herself, but she is the nephew of legendary switch hitter Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees.
* GallowsHumor: She has poked fun at her elimination with a music video, aptly titled [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qca1_9ptKB4 "Eliminated"]], guest-starring Tammie Brown!
* GenderBlenderName: Kelly Mantle is her real name, not a drag name.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Her shtick, don't you know how famous she thinks she is?!
* SuperOCD: Self-described as when setting up her stuff upon arrival she was forced to do it quickly, and couldn't set up all her things neatly with little labels like she wanted. She claims this was part of the reason she was so unfocused during the competition.

!Magnolia Crawford
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magnoliadr_244.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Reynolds Engelhart
->"I'm just here for the exposure."
----
* AttentionWhore: Fully admitted she only joined the competition because she wanted to feed into her ego with the exposure she'd get from the show. However, as Bianca Del Rio brought up, she only admitted this when she knew she would be in the Bottom 2.
* BeYourself: Refused to consider changing her style, even after the judges harshly critiqued her on her signature nose make-up, which she says is purposely done so that it looks like you could 'snap it like a toothpick'.
** TakeThat: She then verbally lashes out, angrily stating that queens in the competition who ''do'' adapt for the judge's aesthetic were spineless.
* CantTakeCriticism: When the judges lay into her for her poor runway look, she'd lay right back into them. It gets so bad that Ru has to call for a stop to it, telling Magnolia she has to make people like her and not lash out at them.
* CatchPhrase: A very nasally "Oh wow!"
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: She basically stopped trying as soon as she was tasked to make a dress with a hoe-down theme.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: A self-described trash queen who loves taking something ugly and turn it out into something fabulous.
** InformedAttribute: Visage calls her out on this on the main stage with a poor runway look, to which Magnolia outright blames entirely on her hoe-down inspired party box, calling everything in her box ugly ... which turns into a bit of a headscratcher since she stated outright she loved ugly things ''because'' she could make them fabulous.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In case there was anyone who still doesn't consider her TheScrappy, she admitted in the reunion episode that she didn't even watch the show past her elimination--meaning she couldn't answer Ru's question of which challenge she might have excelled at--since she wanted to keep it in her mind as ''her'' moment.
* MyGreatestFailure: Claims the reason she didn't watch her episode (or the rest of Season 6) is she didn't want her experience to turn into this, and wanted to keep her time on the show 'hers alone' (after she was coerced into watching her elimination well after the fact, she actually decided to quit drag altogether).
* NaiveNewcomer: After the fact, she has admitted that drag to her was only a hobby, not a career like many of the other queens treat it. This ended up being attributed to her doing so poorly in the first episode.
* PhoneCallFromTheDead: Many episodes later since her elimination, a video of Magnolia is shown in ''Untucked'' where she says "I don't do impersonations, fuck Cher" much to the (albeit joking) anger of the queens who witnessed that video.
* PhraseCatcher: Seemed to be all set to be this season's Ivy Winters with a hardy "Magnooooolia Crawford!". Unfortunately ([[MostAnnoyingSound or not]]), Ru [[WeHardlyKnewYe only got to use it for just one episode]].
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Likes to contour her nose to an ''extremely'' sharp point, Bianca even mused that Magnolia looked like a swordfish!
* WeHardlyKnewYe
!Vivacious
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vivaciousdr_7823.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Osmond Vacious
->"Mutha has arrived!"
----
* AffectionateNickname: Non-romantic example, but the name "Vivacious" was given to her as a child by her 2nd grade teacher. It had been her nickname for years before she decided to upgrade it to her official drag name.
* {{Ambadassador}}: She specializes in performing at primarily-straight clubs, acting as an ambassador for the gay community.
* AmbiguousGender: Claims to not really go for feminine looks, but instead looks that dominate the attention of the room.
* BaldWomen
* ClubKid: She proudly describes herself as one of the ''original'' New York City club kids. This creates a little conflict as some feel that her style is outdated.
* CostumePorn: The only way to describe her signature style, her outfits are usually big and bold ([[ImpracticallyFancyOutfit if a little impractical]]), dominating the attention of the room.
* FailedAttemptAtDrama: Her big reveal in the first episode was somewhat derailed by her difficulty undoing the headpiece.
* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Her premier outfit is a fierce alien-esque costume that covered her entire upper body ... however, as she tries to go for the big reveal she's unable to reach the zipper, leading to a rather humorous moment of the rest of the queens watching her in confused awe as she struggles to free herself.
** BookEnds: And then her last runway look before her elimination she wore a fullbody spiked catsuit, with the suit covering the sides of her head so she had to visibly pull back the hood to even listen to the judges critiques. At one point Ru even called her out on whether her catsuit had deafened her, or if she was trying to emulate Music/MariahCarey's SignatureMove!
* NiceHat: Ornacia.
* OnlyOneName
* OvershadowedByAwesome: An amusing play on this trope by Vivacious's own [[NiceHat alien head hat]], Ornacia, who during the photoshoot was said gave better face than she did!
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to some of the queens of her season, Vivacious is a very non-vocal queen, prefering to save her energy and emotions for the stage.
* SexyWalk: As you'll see in her runway's, she's got the fierce New York walk ''down''!
* WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon: Is originally from Jamaica.

->'''Real Name''': Jason Carrión
->"Reporting for duty! [[SpicyLatina Puerto Rico]] is in the house!"
----
* BorrowedCatchphrase: On her lipstick mirror message she borrows Yara Sofia's "Echa pa lante!" from [[ContinuityNod Season 3]].
* GetARoom: Told to by Michelle Visage when she and guest judge Music/AdamLambert get a bit too flirty during the critiques.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Made her grand entrance as a WorldWarII-era soldier/pin-up model, complete with a parachute. Yeah...[[http://25.media.tumblr.com/e028a648173ea4c45358115df5b1d8b9/tumblr_mzir0zkwBz1s7px1vo1_1280.jpg it's easier to show than describe]].
* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: "Carrion" is April's actual last name. In Spanish it's a fairly standard surname, but in English it means "rotting flesh," leading to a small amount of confusion when she didn't turn out to be a goth queen.
* ShesGotLegs: Caught guest judge Adam Lambert watching her (ahem) '[[UnusualEuphemism chicken legs]]'.
* SpicyLatina
* TheUnintelligible: Seems to be the strongest subversion in the show's turbulent history with Puerto Rican queens and the language barrier.

->'''Real Name''': Scotty Ichikawa
->"I don't jump guns, I ''am'' the boom boom gun, honey."
----
* AsianAirhead: Aside from being really pretty she's seeming to be defined as not particularly the brightest. Also happens to be the only Asian queen this season.
* BerserkButton: Don't call her ignorant or clock her look.
* BookDumb: She is [[{{Understatement}} not the brightest queen on the main stage]], for example, she has never heard of a [=DeLorean=] or a Tony Award, she seemed clueless as to why a 1960's horror movie would be in black and white, and she couldn't even get a [[ToiletHumor beans/fart joke]] until [[DontExplainTheJoke it was painfully explained to her]].
* CantTakeCriticism: Whenever the judges try to critique her, she'd just respond (or cut them off) with an enthusiastic but dismissive "Absolutely!" to their irritation.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Absolutely!"
** "Let me feel my oats!"
** "How is she though?"
* DefrostingIceQueen: Gia spent most of the first episode being a total shady bitch, but when Laganja tearfully recounts her distant relationship with her mother, Gia was the first to comfort her as she is in a similar boat with her own mother.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Not only a fishy queen in drag, but also quite girly even as a boy.
-->'''Vivacious:''' "Gia is still a ladyboy, in or out of geish."
* HiddenDepths: She comes off as very shallow, critical, uneducated, and annoying ... which to be fair she pretty much is. However, she has also been a Kabuki performer since the age of 5, and is versed on both male and female Kabuki.
** Was also shown to comfort Laganja after the latter broke down prior to heading out to their final lipsync, including hugging her and reassuring her.
* {{Hypocrisy}}: She dislikes messy queens, yet herself greeted the second half of the cast with a wonky eye (her eyelash glued wrong). And was later observed by the judges to have it crooked ''again'' during a later challenge.
* InSeriesNickname: "Kimora Lee Kardashian" after fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons and the Kardashian family.
* {{Jerkass}}: Most of the queens don't like her, clocking her as rude, airheaded, and unpolished. It doesn't help her case that she's very critical of her competitors, stating outright she does not like messy queens, cheap queens, or manly queens.
** JerkassHasAPoint: She was downright furious when it was herself and Laganja in the bottom two, after Milk struts down the runway out of drag (dressed as male [=RuPaul=], but still). The thing is, she's not wrong, it is a drag competition and even the judges point out it's borderline offensive that Milk would walk the catwalk as a man.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named herself after supermodel Gia Carangi, as well as the title character in the movie ''{{Film/Gia}}'' played by Angelina Jolie. Her last name is from her drag mother, who named herself after [[Series/ProjectRunway Tim Gunn]].
* PhraseCatcher: "G-G-G-Gia!" (to the tune of the Chia Pet jingle) In just the first episode Ru threw this phrase to Gia ''four times!''
* TheResenter: She really resented the fact that Milk was safe the night of her elimination since Milk had decided to dress up as as man on the runway, calling Milk a 'cross-dresser' and a 'troll' during her exit.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Gia was right that Milk should have been in more trouble for basically dressing as a man (remember the trouble Alaska and Milan both got into for doing something similar), but her reasons are petty and based on a rather shallow idea of what drag is.
* ShesGotLegs: Her legs are bronzed and tanned for the gods!
* SissyVillain: One of the shadiest queens of her season, and also noted for having an ultra-feminine style and manner at all times- in or out of drag.
* StealthInsult: "Stealth" may be giving her too much credit, but her farewell message was "Bring out the big Gunns '''DUDES'''," almost certainly a potshot at Milk.
* UnusualEuphemism: "Let me feel my oats!"
** Lampshaded by Alaska in her opening performance during the reunion episode. "Let me feel my...oats???"
* WeaksauceWeakness: An elitist fishy queen who reads others as messy and cheap, but cannot glue her lashes straight.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: When Gia made her entrance, she called herself "fresh tilapia." As Sharon Needles pointed out in the season recap episode (and Bianca would later point out), that's normally the ''cheapest'' fish in the store.

->'''Real Name''': Dan Donigan
->"Milk! She does a body good, girl!"
----
* AmbiguousGender: Purposely invokes this in her drag, deciding if she can't be as fishy as other queens, she can at least be more memorable. In just her first runway she strut the catwalk wearing a billy goat beard, giving the judges hermaphrodite realness.
** Also, the bolero jacket Milk wore in her first appearance came from [[http://www.newnownext.com/dont-cry-for-bianca-del-rio-milk-on-ice-drag-race-throwback-thursday/05/2014/ her figure-skating days]].
* ClubKid: Self-described.
* GagPenis: Most obvious during the top and bottom lipsynch mini-challenge, Pandora Boxx says it best during Drag Center ...
-->'''Pandora Boxx''': "Adore and Milk's junk win the mini-challenge!"
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: She admits that the reason she goes for unconventional runway looks is because she feels she can't compete with the others for fishiness. Ru and Michelle point out that this ultimately gives her a lack of versatility.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Quoted word for word by Ru in reaction to Milk's [=RuPaul=] inspired runway, when she came down the catwalk as "Workroom Ru", i.e. [=RuPaul=] out of drag.
* MrFanservice: Out of drag, she even says she's received a lot of comments from fans about how sexy she is as a boy.
* NiceGuy: A very sweet-natured queen, even when under fire from the other contestants.
* OnlyOneName: Her name is Milk, period.
** Occasionally she is referred to as Milk Queen.
* RunningGag: Her shtick seems to be making jokes or puns regarding milk. In just the before-season interview she refers to all her different looks as different types of milk, such as curdled milk, sour milk, as well as pasteurized and unpasteurized milk!
** The other queens have fun with this, too. After meeting Milk, Darienne calls herself "heavy cream", Courtney says in the confession cam "I normally don't do dairy, but I'll make an exception for Milk!", and after a heated argument, Adore comments that's Milk's gone sour and she must be past her expiration date.
* ShootTheShaggyDog: After being continuously told to bring more glamour and to not use camp as a crutch, come the hip-hop episode Milk struts the runway in a mermaid dress to appeal to the judges' aesthetic...and gets sent home anyway.
* StatuesqueStunner: She is easily the tallest queen of the season at 6'3, literally towering over her competition.
* StraightGay: In Boy Mode he's a classically handsome man and not someone you'd expect to be a drag queen.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: She considers herself as dressing as a drag queen as no different than putting on clown makeup, so some of her looks can easily cross into this territory.
!Laganja Estranja
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laganjadr_6427.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Jay Jackson
->"Well I'm young and hung and clearly march to the sound of my own drum, so props to ya, mama!"
----
* AffectionateNickname: Adore will casually call her "Ganj-Ganj".
* AttentionWhore: She's young, loud, and full of energy, 'Yes gawd!'
* AnimalMotifs: "I am the bird they want me to be!"
* BorrowedCatchPhrase: In a last ditch effort to create some sort of memetastic CatchPhrase, she borrows [=RuPaul=]'s own famous "gag on my eleganza!" and instead turns it into "gag on my ele-ganja!"
* CatchPhrase: "Come on <insert here>!" as well as her signature "OKRRR!"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: While there were only hints of this in Laganja it became most obvious as the show got nearer towards her elimination. Her above quote, for instance, was said to no one in particular without any provocation, leading Bianca Del Rio to ask outright: "wait, where the hell did that come from?"
* [[WritersCannotDoMath Drag Queens Cannot Do Math]]: Confronted about this by Bianca after her emotional meltdown that she had been waiting "24 years" for a sign of support from her parents...despite ''also'' saying they always supported her being gay and only objected to her doing drag. But then in a different episode she said has only been doing drag for two years. Once Bianca realized the numbers didn't add up, she called bullshit on the whole story.
* DramaQueen: A big example would be when she gets into it with Adore in the Untucked lounge, when she claims that although she doesn't remember what Adore said, or when she said it, or where she said it, that Adore said "something" that really hurt her feelings. Adore calls bullshit on Laganja for this.
** Accused of this by Bianca, especially regarding Laganja's relationship with her parents. Mama and Papa Estranja were loving and supportive about everything apart from the drag career, which they later came around to. Bianca suspected Laganja of playing up the issue to get attention and sympathy.
* GenkiGirl: Has a very loud and excitable personality, and loves to spout out quotables any chance she gets ... although Ru is quite sure the whole act is just a thinly veiled façade.
* InelegantBlubbering: Couldn't get through a single ''Untucked'' without doing this.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: In her voice over for her first runway, she appears to be extremely confident in her first runway... until Untucked, when she comes down extremely hard on herself. She's already prepared to lip sync, even though her outfit could've only been at worst the fourth worst outfit on the runway.
* ItsAllAboutMe: A strangely non-malevolent example, but every bit as melodramatic. During ''Untucked'' she got a message from her Mom and Dad who she's expressed missing and growing distant from in the past few years. When the other queens attempted to joke and lighten the mood and discuss their relationships with their own parents, Laganja completely blew up at them for stealing her moment.
** It continues into next week too which completely pisses Bianca off.
* LargeHam: She's Alyssa Edwards' drag daughter and it shows.
* NiceHat: In boy mode when she dances into the workroom wearing what looks like a [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/laganja-turban.jpg macrame plant hanger]] on her head, even Ru was taken back when she saw the odd choice in headgear.
** In the comedy challenge episode, she rips the "No Smoking" sign out of her hotel room and wears it in her hair.
* OnceAnEpisode: Until her elimination, it seemed contractually obligated for her to have a breakdown and make a scene in every episode of ''Untucked''.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Clocked by Adore and Bianca when she remarks that she has heart in the competition, insinuating that Adore doesn't and is being unfairly mean to her.
* PunnyName: Her drag name is La''ganja'' afterall, but you can also refer to her as [[TheStoner Miss Mary Jane, Little Miss 420, or for the Latin folk, La Marijuana]].
* TheResenter: Admits via ConfessionCam that she's upset that Adore is doing well in the competition, while she herself is either safe or in the bottom, when she feels her drag style is on a much higher level than Adore's.
* ShesGotLegs: Like her drag momma before, her legs are ''everything!''
* SignatureMove: The death drop, even if the situation doesn't particularly call for it.
* StealthInsult: In regards to her friendship with Adore, Laganja says several times that her over-the-top personality is genuine and is how she acts with her "real friends" ... which obviously does not include Adore, since Adore states she's never seen Laganja act that way before.
* TheStoner: A proud self-admitted stoner, as she's said during the show, 'if it's not green, then she's not into it'.
* ThisIsACompetition: Adore clocks her on her competitiveness, stating that although they're friends she knows how serious Estranja takes competition.
* VerbalTic: Takes the stock "kiki" voice many queens use and turns it UpToEleven, so she can barely get out a sentence without tacking on "MOMMA" or "OKRRR?" at the end. She was called out on this, as most of her competitors and judges clocked it as the MostAnnoyingSound.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Was a complete MommasBoy as a child, and her mother is [[MommyIssues very critical]] of her being a drag queen. She hopes that being on the show will prove to her mother that she can be successful and happy even if she's in drag.
** Also has this to a lesser extent with her drag mother Alyssa Edwards, who according to her hired her at her dance studio and initially expressed doubt at Laganja's ability to drag but was eventually convinced.
* WoundedGazelleGambit: A frequent accusation towards the end of her stay in the competition. For one example, see Drag Queens Cannot Do Math above.
!Trinity K. Bonet
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trinitydr_2752.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Joshua Jones
->"I'm as close as you're gonna get to Music/{{Beyonce}}"
----
* AccidentalMisnaming: Continually refers to Chaz Bono as ''Chad'' during the interview segment.
* AlwaysSecondBest: Despite constantly beating herself up, there were three challenges where Trinity did very well but just barely missed winning: the party dress, the makeup commercial, and the stand-up. Worse, the only one where she didn't lose to [[TheRival Bianca]] was when she was paired up with her. Even at the end, when she or Joslyn were likely to win Miss Congeniality, [=DeLa=]'s surprise elimination caused fans to vote for ''her'' instead.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Bianca asks point blank what she does well, Trinity can't come up with a response.
** Although there are little things one may notice (Trinity's drink) that may make you wonder whether or not Trinity had no answer for the question or if it was a case of producers editing the moment for more drama. At least this could be the case for more cynical viewers.
* BerserkButton: Her trouble with enunciation has become one ever since the judges have critiqued her on her dental flippers.
* BlackAndNerdy: You wouldn't think it at first, but she's named after Trinity from ''Franchise/TheMatrix'', and her first runway look was inspired by Princess Amidala from ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* CantTakeCriticism: Was called on it during critiques in the Musical Episode.
* CelebrityImpersonator: One of her life ambitions as a drag performer is to be a professional Creator/{{Beyonce}}-illusionist in Las Vegas.
* FlatCharacter: Bianca clocks her on a personality that is a dead ringer to a corpse she knew back in New Orleans.
** Averted as the season progresses and she shows HiddenDepths.
* HiddenDepths: In her pre-show interview and the sneak peak of the second premier, she came across as just another self-absorbed Creator/{{Beyonce}}-impersonating glamour queen--which she doesn't deny being--not helped when she chose the "Princess Party" kit for her first runway look. However, she unexpectedly went with a ''Star Wars'' theme as mentioned above, and in ''Untucked'' she was very level-headed, likable (her friction with Bianca notwithstanding), and a voice of reason.
** She does unexpectedly well during the stand-up challenge that Rupaul is moved to tears with how proud she is
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Feels the rest of the queens are a lot stronger than she is and she just doesn't know if she can compete on their level. The other queens even notice that half the time it looks like Trinity's already given up and is hardly putting in an effort.
* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: Admitted to being HIV positive during one episode of ''Untucked''. Also qualifies as HandicappedBadass since it so far doesn't seem to have done much to stop her.
* InSeriesNickname / IronicNickname: Bianca has taken to sarcastically referring to her as "Beyoncé" ... ironic that although Trinity considers herself as close to Beyoncé as you can get, Bianca's opinion of her is the exact opposite.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Legally, the K. in her middle name stands for nothing. However...
** NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In addition to the ''Matrix'' reference, she also says the K. in her name stands for [[{{Creator/KimKardashian}} Kardashian]].
* NiceGuy: The only person Trinity is ever hard on is herself! To the other queens she's kind hearted and supportive, giving encouragement to Joslyn, Laganja and Dela when they were struggling.
* NiceHat: The colorful rhinestoned baseball cap she wears in boy mode.
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: During the Reading challenge, she reads ''herself'' by pulling off her clip-in ponytail and joking about her damaged hair.
* TheQuietOne: Tries to stay reserved, especially during ''Untucked'', hoping to avoid becoming the hot topic among the other queens ... however her being so quiet just causes the queens to try and figure out why she's acting so mopey.
* ThisIsACompetition: A non-malevolent example, she takes the judges' critiques very seriously and gets down on herself for it. The rest of the queens continuously attempt to convince her not to take the criticisms to heart, however Trinity keeps trying to point out they are in a competition show, and the critiques ''do'' matter since they could get her sent home.
* ToothyIssue: She wears dental flippers in drag since her natural grill is rather crooked.
* TheUnintelligible: She's a bit of a mushmouth while wearing her [[ToothyIssue dental flippers]], especially when she sings.
!Joslyn Fox
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joslyndr_215.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Patrick Joslyn
->"Try me [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]], I'm a [[GoshDangItToHeck motherfishin']] Drag Queen!"
----
* AesopAmnesia: The judges are baffled when after being critiqued on her "multi swimsuit and accessory" look from last week she proceeds to come out in the Black & White challenge wearing essentially the same thing.
* {{Adorkable}}: A huge part of her charm.
* BerserkButton: Ignorant, mean queens. Caused a small shouting match between her and Gia Gunn.
* BrokenPedestal: Joslyn Fox idolized Courtney Act prior to season 6, but some harsh critiques and shade from the latter pretty much ended that.
* CatchPhrase: "Hey Ruzy Q!" whenever [=RuPaul=] would check on Joslyn in the workroom, also a rare instance of Ru being a PhraseCatcher for once, as she's normally the Phrase Pitcher to her queens.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Established from the start when she opens her Quinceañera party box and has to be told what she thought were "house numbers" represent her age. *holds up numbers proudly* "Fifty-one!"
* CuteButCacophonic: Her Fran Drescher impersonation is uncanny (though she doesn't play her for the Snatch Game) and her voice gets compared to a dial-up modem.
* {{Determinator}}: This was her fourth time auditioning to the show, and she says the only reason she feels she got in this season was because she stopped trying to give what she thought Ru was looking for, and instead decided to just [[BeYourself be herself]].
* TheDitz: See MalaProper for one of the earlier examples
* FollowTheLeader: Her extremely awkward "X came from Y's vagina!" intro during the interview with Chaz Bono and Georgia Holt was most likely inspired by Alaska from Season 5. When Chaz was a guest judge that season, Alaska said in the confession cam, "I love Chaz Bono, he came from Cher's vagina!" The difference, however, is that Alaska wasn't sitting right in front of them when she said it.
* HandsomeLech: A shameless flirt, in just the first episode she fangirled over Courtney, revealed her deep crush on Pit Crew member Shawn, and said outright she wants to run her tongue over Santino's bald head, and this is all in just her first episode!
* HiddenDepths: The other girls weren't expecting much from her come the first acting challenge, but she proved to be surprisingly funny! GASP!
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Won the mini challenge and got to decide the order of the queens in the stand up comedy challenge, which backfired ''spectacularly'' when she put herself in front of Bianca, the closer, and as a result looked weak by comparison and wound up having to lipsync. The judges even directly ask WhatWereYouThinking
* TheHyena: She's easily the most laugh-happy queen of this season, it's just a shame her laugh is more of a ...
** AnnoyingLaugh: ... with her squeaks, snrks, and snorts, which the show hilariously replaced with the sound of a dial-up modem connecting.
* MalaProper: During a cam she proudly states she hopes she becomes the "Blackhorse" of the competition ... after which the producer had to confirm she really meant "[[EnsembleDarkhorse Darkhorse]]".
** She does it again in the stand-up challenge...in the confessional and not part of said stand-up: "I know that stand-up comedy is not my cup of soup...cup of tea...cup-a-bowl-of-what? Cup of tea. This is not my cup of tea."
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, was known as "the queen with nine bikinis" after she wore essentially the same multi-swimsuit ensemble two weeks in a row ... ''after'' the judges told her they didn't like it the first week.
* NiceGuy: Seems the most upbeat and least abrasive of the queens this season, she even puts up with ''every single one'' of Bianca's insults with a big smile and a giggle.
* NoSocialSkills: Her behavior on the show dances the line between this trope and CloudCuckooLander, but she gets scolded outright by Michelle Visage for her lack of social skills after bringing up Georgia Holt's [[DudeNotFunny almost abortion of Cher]] during a Talk Show interview challenge. It's implied the only reason she didn't wind up lipsyncing for that was that her apology to Georgia for it sounded genuine, and that Georgia wasn't ''offended'' by the question, she simply wasn't expecting it.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: She tried really hard in the competition, but just seemed to fall short of the other queens. She considered herself [[DudeLooksLikeALady really feminine]], but couldn't compete with Courtney Act, was a [[TheDitz lovable ditz]], but was outshined by Adore Delano, and hoped she would [[EnsembleDarkhorse strike a chord with the fans]] and win Miss Congeniality, but was overshadowed by [=BenDeLaCreme=]'s popularity.
* RummageSaleReject: Purposely invoked in her look as she loves to wear tons of extra accessories and jewelry in order to compensate for looking too much like a real woman while in drag.
* ShesGotLegs: Although she won't deny with the way she eats, one of them may be wooden.
* SignatureMove: Her little "whomp-whomp" breast jiggle when she's 'keeping it foxy'. Ru's sees her off with one of her own after Joslyn's elimination, and at the start of the next episode the remaining queens give a sort of "whomp-whomp" salute in her honor.
* SilkHidingSteel: When Gia started reading Milk, she stepped in with a surprising amount of force considering her NiceGuy personality.
* {{Squick}}: In-universe, during the Horror-themed Untucked the queens were asked to play the childhood game of sticking their hands into a box to guess it's contents by touch alone. When it came to an (unused) adult diaper filled with cream corn though, Joselyn starts loudly gagging and retching by the reveal.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Certainly not the worst offender of this trope in ''Drag Race'' history, but coupled with her RummageSaleReject taste in jewelry, the judges are baffled at how she can be wearing so much, and still be so naked at the same time!
![=BenDeLaCreme=]
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bendr_3315.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Benjamin Putnam
->"Yes, '[=DeLa=]' for short, 'De' for shorter, 'Ms. Creme' [[{{Music/JanetJackson}} if you're nasty]]!"
----
* BadassBaritone: She drops the growl of a voice while in drag, though.
* BecomingTheMask: A common criticism from Michelle Visage was that Ben was always "in-character" as [=BeDeLaCreme=] instead of letting the judges see her true personality. According to Visage, this ultimately made Ben less engaging than her fellow competitors.
* ComplimentBackfire: Happens when she quips that Bianca Del Rio is 'sailing through the competition'. She claims she meant it as a compliment that Bianca is so talented and versatile the challenges all come easy to her, but Bianca took it negatively, accusing [=DeLa=] on reading her as lazy and not really giving it her all.
* FormerlyFat: Was bullied in middle school for being "too fat, too gay and too weird".
* GenderBlenderName: Subverted. While "Ben" is her first name, the other queens call her "[=DeLa=]" since it's more feminine-sounding (despite meaning "of the"). Although now the queens and even judges sometimes refer to her as Bendela or Benda.
* GenkiGirl: Self-described as "terminally delightful", and clocked by Michelle Visage for having a personality that could get ''real'' annoying ''real'' fast.
* GratuitousFrench: Chose her drag name because it's French, even though she doesn't actually speak French. See also: the point of her whole rap in Oh No She Betta Don't.[[note]]Well it's [=DeLa=] to the Creme, I'm the fatal femme but I got the candy coating so they call me Creminem, that's cream en francais, voulez wanna couchez, avec four fly ladies that be coming your way.[[/note]]
* IdenticalStranger: When she's introduced, everyone comments on how much she looks like Michelle Visage. Dela can't see the resemblance at all because she's had her face for so long.
* InSeriesNickname: Michelle Visage starts calling her "Bendela", which Ru and the rest of the queens quickly adapt. During ''Whatcha Packin' with Michelle Visage'' she admits that prior to the show, this was what Jinkx would normally call her as well.
* MissingMom: The death of her mother in her adolescent years hit her hard.
* NiceGirl: Season six's ''Miss Congeniality''.
* NoSocialSkills: To a degree. She's usually charming, but has put her foot in it several times without intending to be malicious. She tried to compliment Bianca by saying she was "sailing through" the competition, which Bianca interpreted as "coasting through", as in just doing enough to get by and not really trying.
* OverlyLongGag: Her lipstick elimination message on the mirror filled up the entire mirror in rather small print, jokingly explained to have been made so long and pointless just so she could force Darienne to have to clean and clean and clean and ''clean'' to wipe off. [[note]]"Dear top 4- howz it going? I'm doing pretty good. Sometimes you have to have Mama Ru yell atcha a bunch of times before it sinks in. I guess I neverreached that number of times, Darienne. I knew the second I was up against you i waz out the door. You get it lady. I wish you all the luck in the world and only harbor enough resentment to write a long pointless message that you will have to clean and clean and clean and clean. But fo real tho you girlz are my heroes. XX BDLC"[[/note]]
* PlayingGertrude: Her forte, although between playing the crazy old mother in the ''Scream Queens'' challenge and Maggie Smith from ''DowntonAbbey'' for the Snatch Game, the judges have said they've seen enough of her old lady schtick.
* PunnyName: Her name is based on the phrase "Crème de La Crème".
* SmallNameBigEgo: At least Darienne seems to think so after [=DeLa=] congratulates herself on being the first queen of the season to win two challenges.
-->'''Darienne Lake''': [=BenDeLaCreme=], you remind me of a Russian doll ... [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Full. Of. Your. Self.]]
* StraightGay: In boy mode, which is in stark contrast with her bubbly, effervescent drag persona.
* WhatTheHellHero: Bianca calls out her behavior in ''Untucked'' about questioning Darienne as to why she wasn't picked for Miss Lake's hip hop group, since Bianca felt it was extremely disrespectful towards the group [=DeLa=] did get instead.
* WideEyedIdealist: Her drag character's main characteristic is she's relentlessly upbeat about everything.
!Miss Darienne Lake
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dariennedr_5141.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Greg Meyer
->"Some of the queens are pretty, I'm prettier; some of them are funny, I'm [[BigFun funnier]]; and some of them are big, but I'm [[BigBeautifulWoman bigger]]!"
----
* BigBeautifulWoman: She's [[BigFun two tons of fun]] of twisted steel and sex appeal!
* BigFun: Loves cracking jokes, and is quite the hilarious plus-sized queen!
* DarkAndTroubledPast: During her dinner with [=RuPaul=], they talk about Darienne being kicked out of her home, in which Darienne's mother gave her a 'strong invitation' to move out due to practicing her gay lifestyle despite her mother thinking homosexuals were lesser people.
* DeadpanSnarker: Perfectly capable of reading someone to filth with a sweet smile on her face.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Using her own big, beautiful body instead of any breast illusion, she can make the kittens dance with the finesse of a seasoned queen!
* {{Hypocrite}}: Has said she considers sleeping with another queen to be gross ... however one might remember her [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB8QYP_x01o appearing on the Ricki Lake show]] in which she was dating fellow drag queen, Pandora Boxx. But since this was over twenty years ago, it's possible that the experience put her off the idea.
* LargeHam: A boon that won her the 'Scream Queens' challenge while playing the minor role of a [[DemonicPossession demon-possessed]] [[LosingYourHead severed head in a box]].
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: In the music video for 'Sissy That Walk' she had a scene with Charles ([=RuPaul=]) in which the two were former lovers before Charles left her for good ... at least that was the plan, but after the take Darienne started [[ChewingTheScenery throwing a tantrum in-character that was so over the top]] it left both Ru and director Mathu Anderson speechless. Charles/Ru even comes back into the scene and offers to take Darienne back again, completely unscripted! Darienne probably would have ''won'' this challenge had it not been the finale.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Well, some''where'' famous. She's named after Darien Lake, an amusement park located between Buffalo and Rochester, New York.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Despite several of the queens being quite hunky in boy mode, Darienne is positively [[{{Squick}} squicked]] by the notion of sleeping with any of them, saying that having sex with another queen (even if they are out of drag) is gross.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Sometimes she would try to rattle her competitors cage using this tactic.
* PhraseCatcher: 'Dip into the waters of Darienne Lake'
* SelfDeprecatingHumor: "This body seats six!", and later she dubs her Eartha Kitt's Catwoman runway look as "Girth-a Kitt".
* ShootTheShaggyDog: Had the music video been a regular challenge, Darienne would have certainly won. But as the final challenge, she was judged for the whole season, causing her elimination and meaning that her over-the-top performance in "Sissy that Walk" was for naught.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], although her drag name is technically ''Miss'' Darienne Lake, shes actually pretty lax on the whole 'Miss' part.
* ThisIsACompetition: Makes sure to berate [=DeLa=] when the latter admitted to giving Adore an easy theme for the Drag Ball, stating that if it were up to her, she would have sooner put Adore in cement shoes and called it a day. She came on the show for a crown and the $100,000, and says outright she will help herself before she helps anyone else.
* TookALevelInJerkass: During the hip-hop challenge when Darienne was picking teams she didn't pick [=DeLa=], much to the latter's surprise. The real jerkassery comes in when Ben asks Darienne why she wasn't picked for her team, to which Miss Lake simply replies that it's "none of your [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] business."
** The other queens finally call her out on her jerkassery in the Talk Show episode of ''Untucked'', mentioning how she seems to be snapping at everyone (instead of just [=DeLa=]). Even Bianca says she's acting like a hateful bitch, which coming from Bianca is saying something!
* UnknownRival: Starting to become a reoccurring thing with her, she will criticize one of the other queens in the ConfessionCam and act like it's turning into a rivalry without any real payoff. So far she's had odds with Gia and Milk ...
** TheRival: She ultimately found her rival for the season in [=DeLa=], who was completely caught off-guard since there had been no bad blood between herself and Darienne previously.
* YankTheDogsChain: She was the underdog in the final four, having lip synched for her life three times prior and was very unlikely to move into the final three. When Ru makes the announcement for the final queens, she says Darienne's name first ... then says she's the one who was eliminated (opposite of how it usually works). You can literally see the heartbreak on Darienne's face when she realizes she's been sent home.

->'''Real Name''': Danny Noriega
->"For all those queens telling me I'm not polished enough, I just want them to know that I'm polish remover, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]!"
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Unlike previous queens who qualify, Adore wears this trope as a badge of honor, proudly stating that she doesn't fit in with society ''or'' other drag queens.
* AnimeHair: While sometimes donning classic blond, Adore seems to favor unusual hair colors in her drag, from [[RoseHairedSweetie rosey pink]] to [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair aquamarine teal]] to [[FieryRedhead dark tomato red]].
* AsideGlance: When Laganja has one of her many breakdowns and Gia says to her how she knows what it's like to be a sensitive person, Adore briefly looks at the camera like "Seriously?"
* BrilliantButLazy: She's armed with tons of raw talent and charisma, but Adore stumbled a few times when her poor focus and lack of work-ethic let her down. Best illustrated in the horror movie challenge, where she assigned roles randomly without thought to who would perform best in them, failed to rehearse the scene before filming, and walked on-set without knowing her cues.
* CatchPhrase: "Party!" Although "Fuck!" and "I'm a Libra" are also high up there.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Likes to describe herself as that one [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles glittery crayon]] you find in special boxes of crayons, and claims she can feel the psychic energy between her fellow queens.
* DisappearedDad: Has a broken relationship with her father, brought on by her dad saying he was ashamed of his son for being so feminine. Adore, however, says she's over it and has no desire to reconcile with him at this point, to which Ru agrees that it's his loss, not Adore's.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Self-admitted, which is why the transition to drag seemed to come so naturally for her. She even compared herself out of drag as looking like a lesbian [[Music/TheJonasBrothers Jonas brother]].
** LadyLooksLikeADude: Does not know how to cinch her waist, which results in her giving the judges "hog body" as she puts it. This really irked Michelle Visage, since she had to give Adore the same critique two weeks in a row.
* FanCommunityNickname: A mean-spirited one brought on by Adore's BaseBreaker status, but her fans are often referred to as [=DAFs=], "[[FunWithAcronyms Delusional Adore Fans]]".
* HairstyleMalfunction: Seems to have a few issues securing her wig in place. She had to keep tugging it down during her acting challenge ''when she was supposed to be getting electrocuted'', and it came loose again during her lipsynch with Trinity.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Touched on when she admitted early in the competition she did not bring much with her in the way of wardrobe, however this gets expanded on after the final three when she reveals to Michelle Visage that she ''does'' in fact own a lot more clothes and wigs (and even several corsets) but didn't bother bringing them to the show because she was sure she would be going home by the second week. One has to wonder if she would have done even better in the competition (maybe even won the show) if she had taken things seriously from the start.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Despite stating that she's proud to be an outcast from the drag scene, it's obvious during the competition the fact that she's had to constantly prove herself to other queens has taken a toll on her confidence.
* {{Keet}}
* TheKlutz: Was accused of pulling a [[ThePratfall pratfall]] in the first episode for attention, but claims she's not attention-starved, she just likes rocking back and forth in her chair and occasionally falls over.
* MeaningfulName: As she tells it, Adore is short for adorable, because that's what she is. Also, Delano means 'at night', but in some languages also means 'swampy' or 'anus' ... so her name basically stands for a swampy anus at night.
* NaiveNewcomer: Despite her outstanding charisma she was very naïve in the ways of drag, like when she admitted to Michelle Visage that she does own several corsets (although didn't bring any of them with her), but doesn't even know how to lace them up properly. Even Ru said she embodies that young talent that just doesn't know what she's doing yet.
* OfCorsetsFunny: Adore's "hog-body" and the corset gifted to her by Bianca become a RunningGag and the subject of a few reads.
* OhCrap: Her signature gulp, when she was nervous or up for some harsh critique, at the end of the competition Courtney even mentions how she'll miss Adore's audible gulp.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Claims to be a mermaid, which is the reason why she is such a phenomenal singer.
* ProperlyParanoid: When she and Laganja make up over a fight they shared in ''Untucked'', Adore says outright she does not buy the apology since she feels Laganja just considers her a PoorMansSubstitute of herself, and shouldn't be doing so well in the competition ... which is ''exactly'' what Laganja admits to during a ConfessionCam. It also shows that although Adore may come off as a little dim, she's a little more perceptive than she looks.
* RageBreakingPoint: She hits one rather early in the season, after being saddled with making a dress using ''Series/HereComesHoneyBooBoo'' leftovers, add to the fact she can't sew, Adore finally loses it after realizing she's accidentally glued her dress to her mannequin, slamming her dress form to the floor, breaking it apart, and ripping her costume off the figure.
* TheRival: As fans had speculated with both herself and Courtney being former ''Idols'', as well as on opposing teams in the Musical challenge, a rivalry between the two singing queens was inevitable.
** Although it seems the rivalry was played up in the commercials. Aside from passing comments about there being pressure to do well because of Courtney's idol background Adore seemed quite interested and even a little impressed that Courtney did it in drag.
* ShapedLikeItself: As team leader, her strategy was "strategically strategized".
* SirSwearsALot: To the point where "Fuck!" is jokingly considered her CatchPhrase, right up there with "Party!" In fact, the first thing she says when walking into the workroom was "Fuck yeah!"
* ValleyGirl: Bonus points for being from (and constantly referencing) Azusa, CA, which is -just- outside the Trope Naming San Fernando valley.
* WesternZodiac: Likes to follow astrology, and for the record, she's a Libra.
!Courtney Act
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/courtneydr_6470.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Shane Jenek
->"Everyone else is relying on ugly, why can't I rely on pretty?!"
----
* AHeroToHisHometown: Courtney has some celebrity status in Australia due to being a finalist in the first season of ''Australian Idol''.
* TheAce: Joslyn more or less implies that Courtney thinks of herself as this.
* UsefulNotes/AustralianAccent: A drag import from Sydney, Australia.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While she's generally nice and encouraging that doesn't mean she can't be very critical, like when she talks smack about Milk's inability to do glamour or critiques Joslyn's looks as being not on the same level.
* BrutalHonesty: Was considered a bitch for saying that she didn't think that Joslyn's outfit for the runway was very polished but during the ConfessionCam stated she was only intending to help Joslyn and didn't mean it as a read.
* CondescendingCompassion: Accused of this by Joslyn after she says Joslyn's drag isn't on the same level as the rest of the queens and then offers to let her have some of her stuff to gets her runway looks up to another level.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Her promo pic alone has caused many to call her the fishiest queen in the show's history. Justified as she's genderfluid, and even has [[{{Polyamory}} several boyfriends]] (and a lot of casual trade) who otherwise identify as straight.
* FacePalm: Did this in during a ConfessionCam with an resigned "Oh god, Laganja" during another one of Laganja's tantrums.
* GracefulLoser: Stated that even if she didn't win the show she would be absolutely happy with where she placed.
* GranolaGirl: Her post-Drag Race vlogs and Twitter account show that she's a practicing vegan and prefers having as much healthy, organic, or cruelty-free options she can find.
* InSeriesNickname: "Australia's Next Drag Superstar", not an official title by any means, but Courtney still likes to refer herself as this and uses it as her reason of why she should also be crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar".
* LovableAlphaBitch: This is the edit she seems to have gotten from the show, although as she approached the Final 3 her AlphaBitch tendencies seemed to increase.
* MuscleAngst: She gets both the male and female versions of this trope. She talks about feeling too skinny as a man compared to the [[GymBunny gym bunnies]] of [[{{Gayborhood}} West Hollywood]], but at the same time she's worried that bulking up would hurt her image as Courtney.
* PunnyName: In Australia her name sounds like "Caught in the act", although she admits the joke is [[AccentDepundent a bit lost in the U.S.]] without the Australian accent.
** In a minor PetTheDog, Ru's [[PhraseCatcher catch phrase]] for Courtney isn't a phrase, but to pronounce her name with an Aussie accent so that the pun is present.
*** It gets to the point that other queens start to do it too so Courtney will always have her pun.
* TheRival: The fires were sparked when she first met Adore, but fanned to full flame in the Musical challenge, as the two ''Idols'' starts trying to outshine each other just practicing their lyrics in the workroom. Although their "rivalry" pretty much fizzled after said Musical Theater episode.
** She and Joslyn become this later on, although Courtney has made it clear she doesn't think Joslyn is on her level.
* TookALevelInJerkass: Seems to have become a little meaner and meaner the closer the show gets to it's finale. Courtney even lampshades this by saying that the show is starting to feel more like a competition the less queens there are.
* SelfDeprecation: During the acting challenge in the music video pokes fun at herself for not really speaking with an Australian accent any longer.
* ShesGotLegs: This is possibly the leggiest season of Drag Race ever, and Courtney with her body-ody-ody is no exception.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Ru accuses her of resting on pretty, despite the fact she has always performed well in acting challenges and even won the Musical Theater challenge. Courtney even says outright she's not sure why she's getting the "stop relying on that body" warning since she really is quite talented and versatile.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Courtney bragging about being able to nail every challenge easily is starting to look like this to some of the other queens.
** Her constantly referencing her Australian celebrity status reads as this, especially since in America she's a Youtube star at best. She styles herself "Australia's Drag Superstar" and although that's not an official title, she still uses it a reason why she should also be America's Drag Superstar.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Loves to show off her body-ody-ody ... so much so that by the end of the season, the judges actually critique her on her over-reliance on showing skin.
* TheStoic: Has been criticized for her responses sounding canned, and herself has admitted that she can come off [[TheStepfordWives Stepfordy]] at times.
* VocalDissonance: Her voice while out of drag is a bit of a shock, as it is quite naturally soft and feminine.
!Bianca Del Rio

->'''Real Name''': Roy Haylock
->"We’re drag queens in a fucking competition, the only thing worse is prison!"
----
* TheAce: Won 3 challenges and never landed in the bottom, making her the leader of the pack in terms of statistics. After she won, she was also voted the most popular of all [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0wGaSPtbfw winners.]]
* BerserkButton: De La's comment that Bianca was "sailing through" the competition was one of the few things that got under Bianca's skin. A case of PoorCommunicationKills, as De La meant it as a compliment to her versatility and talent, and not that she was coasting by.
* BoringButPractical: Ironically enough, Bianca's seamstress skills started her off as the The Cast Showoff, however she specializes in a similar silhouette for her outfits. Eventually the judges call her out on the fact that although her dresses are always fabulous, they've grown bored with seeing the same gown week after week in different fabrics.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: She loves to use Judge Judy's "BALONEY!" when calling out the other queens.
* BrickJoke: During the hiphop challenge, guest judge Trina comments that Bianca's style is very "wide 'n sassy", and Bianca jokes that that was her nickname in prison. A few episodes later, the queens are given a mini-challenge where they have to put together a prison drag look; each queen is given a nickname onscreen, and you can guess what Bianca's was.
* BrutalHonesty: Insult comedy aside, she's a very brutally honest queen, she doesn't believe in throwing shade, she throws the truth ... sometimes right into the other queens' faces.
* BullyHunter: Despite throwing BrutalHonesty left right and centre, Bianca can't stand bullying and has stood up for a few queens a number of times. It gets to the point where Ben de la Creme prays Bianca will notice Darienne picking on her and come to the rescue.
* CantTakeCriticism: During the stand-up challenge, Bianca playfully rants, "I will show you versatility when [[AlwaysSecondBest Santino wins a sewing competition]] and [[BigBreastPride Michelle wears a fucking turtleneck]]!" But she's actually one of the few queens this season to take critiques gracefully.
* CatchPhrase: An exasperated "Really, queen?" when one of her competitors is acting the fool.
** "Not today Satan!"
* CoolOldLady: Many of her competitors, especially Adore, refer to her this way. What else can you expect at the [[HollywoodOld ripe old age of 37?]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* DefrostingIceQueen: Says that the competition really touched her icy little heart, and that the whole ordeal put a few cracks into the walls she's built up into her personality over the years.
* DontCallMeSir: While it is not at all uncommon for older and more tenured drag queens to be given endearing motherly nicknames, Bianca very frankly tells Laganja to stop calling her "momma", although that's mostly a result of the friction between the two.
* DrillSergeantNasty: Has something of this role for the other queens who fall back on excuses, but also sincerely congratulates them when they overcome them.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Her stage outfit in the Season 7 finale episode was a glittery silver PimpedOutDress...and her face literally covered in [[https://instagram.com/p/3adDQzDT2W/ glitter.]]
* HatesEveryoneEqually: The season's recap episode listed the top fights of the season with the #1 listed simply as "Bianca vs. the world".
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: She has admitted she's met some lovely people here but this is not Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantyhose. However, even Adore has admitted after the show that Bianca has a huge heart, and she already seems to be in a good friendship with Courtney Act.
-->"I made a friend. Me. ''Friend.''"
* InSeriesNickname: "A damn seamstress!" due to her impressive sewing skills, something of a growing rarity for queens in Drag Race. The nickname is actually a callback to Alyssa Edwards in Season 5 saying "I might not be funny, or a singer, or a damn seamstress, but I am a fierce queen." Bianca ''is'' a damn seamstress.
* InsultComic: Describes herself as Creator/DonRickles in a dress ... but prettier and not quite as old.
* JerkassHasAPoint: For all the things she says, there's usually a point behind it. Trinity's excuses are the main thing.
-->"So let me ask you a fair question. What is it you do successfully? Quickly."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: For all her outer abrasiveness, she does show her softer side, like letting Adore use her cincher, and congratulating Trinity for both delivering a strong lipsynch and coming out as HIV positive. Even when she does hurl insults, she [[JerkassHasAPoint usually makes a very good point]] and won't put down someone just because she dislikes them or their drag style.
* OhCrap: Her reaction to discovering that her pick for the Snatch Game, Series/JudgeJudy, is in fact [=RuPaul=]'s favorite person ever.
* OnlySaneMan: Compared to the other queens, her pragmatic attitude keeps things in perspective. As she puts it:
-->"We're drag queens in a fucking competition! The only thing worse is fucking prison!"
* PaletteSwap: Has a collection of gorgeous gowns, but as De La put it, they're 50 of the same dress in different fabrics.
* PetTheDog: "Don't tell any one I'm being nice", right before helping out her competitor Adore Delano before a runway.
** She had another one earlier that same episode, when she asks everyone to stop and give Trinity kudos on a great lip-lynch, despite the friction the two have had during the show.
** She also helped Ben and Laganja with their make up just prior to the Snatch Game
* PhraseCatcher: Near the end of the season, Ru started to refer towards Bianca more and more often with "Blame it on Bianca Del Rio!"
* SadClown: Has said she uses comedy as a way to protect herself from being hurt by others, to the point where the other queens were dubious that she could say ''anything'' without a nasty comment or a joke added in.
* SelfDeprecation: Especially during the stand up comedy routine.
-->My mother is from Cuba and my dad is from Honduras, which basically means I have a large dick, no credit and a tendency to take things that don't belong to me.
* StraightGay: When in boy mode.
* TakeThat: She says point blank that too many previous Drag Race contestants are releasing music singles because they "think they can sing", although she does not name specific names.
* TeamMom: She'll read you to filth, but she's always the first to dole out no-nonsense, rational advice, and lend a cincher.
-->'''Bianca Del Rio''': "Shake it off. Pretend it's gas and leave it in the hallway."
* ThisIsACompetition: She's in a drag competition, and it's every clown for them-fucking-selves!
* UncannyValleyMakeup / {{Hypocrisy}}: Despite joking about other queens on their bad makeup, she herself was read on her lack of blending.
* VitriolicBestBuds: As far as from the last Untucked, she's this with Adore and Courtney. Especially Adore.
* VocalDissonance: Did pretty much nothing to disguise her natural voice in drag, which just added to the hilarity.
* {{Workaholic}}: Self-admitted in interviews before and after the show. As [=DeLa's=] "Bianca" puppet puts it:
--> '''[=DeLa=]''': Looks like your lace-front is coming off...\\
'''"Bianca"''': [[NoIndoorVoice BALONEY! I HAVE NO PROBLEMS! I LIVE IN NEW YORK! I WORK ALL THE TIME!]]
