History Characters / CanadasDragRaceSeason1

* RealityShowGenreBlindness: In ''Drag Race'' herstory, pop divas like Music/{{Beyonce}} and Music/LadyGaga has almost always bombed on the ''Snatch Game'', as there's simply no humour without chronic exaggeration -- something she completely neglects to do when portraying Music/MariahCarey to disastrously flat effect.

->"Alright, party girls, we're just about to walk into the Werk Room for the first time and I'm gonna let these whores have it! Thanks for tuning in, bye!" *throws phone away*

* BadassNative: Is of the Nlaka'pamux tribe and she's the first First Nations queen on ''Canada's Drag Race''. Ilona is proud of her heritage and wants to inspire other First Nations people to embrace their heritage too. Underlined with her Native-inspired runway look when she returns in the finale.

* IncomingHam: Even by ''Drag Race'' standards, her entrance is striking, to say the least. She comes in, ends her Instagram Live session on her phone by saying she's "about to let these whores have it," then ''tosses her phone behind her'' and lets it ''shatter on the floor,'' scaring the shit out of Priyanka.

* DanceBattler: In the finale, we finally get to see what Scarlett can do in a lip-sync -- two actually, if you include the final musical number -- since she was the only one who'd never been in the bottom. Scarlett turns out to be capable of splits and high kicks that could give the legendary [[Characters/RuPaulsDragRaceSeason7 Kennedy Davenport]] a run for her money.

* BrutalHonesty: When it comes to how she performs in the competition, Priyanka can be quite the harsh self-critic. Her voice over for her self-sewn ''Snow Ball'' looks has her quip "I am ''covered'' in bullshit."

* BrutalHonesty: When it comes to how she did in the competition, Priyanka is sometimes a little too honest with herself. Her voice over for the ''Snow Ball'' includes "I am covered in bullshit."

* {{Catchphrase}}: "What's my name?" or some variation of, usually followed immediately after Priyanka says her name.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Upon seeing Jimbo dedrag for the first time, Priyanka deems her a total daddy and asks if she wants some "Boyanka."

* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Interestingly, she invokes this for her finale look, and pairs it with an elegant two-tone gown that complements the spacey vibe.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: She's kind of the Crystal Methyd of this season, in terms of success. She was consistently safe for most of the competition -- a full ''eight'' straight weeks -- until she came into her own near the end of the season, and finally scored a challenge win. This propelled her to the finale, where she was still standing in the final lip-sync, despite one challenge win to Rita Baga's three and Priyanka's two.

* MulticoloredHair: Her hair is dyed pink and black.

* BlackComedy: BOA's unafraid to cross the line, which is best exhibited for her tar-black ''Snatch Game'', where she portrays Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, a young woman who was kept a wheelchair-bound prisoner by her MunchausenSyndrome-suffering mother.

* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her usually quiet persona is defied in the ''Snatch Game'', where she impersonates the one and only Creator/JoanRivers -- hallowed ground in the gay community -- and is notable here as [[SeriousBusiness a daunting feat never before attempted in Drag Race her-story]], and dominates the game.

* PlayingGertrude: For the ''Snatch Game'', she leans into both her uber-French Canadian and seasoned queen vibe, doing a visually-hilarious job sending up the venerable Édith ''"Je ne regrette rien"'' Piaf, who's often celebrated as TheChanteuse of France.

* BlackComedy: Takes a risk in the ''Snatch Game'' portraying the hallowed Creator/LizaMinnelli as an AddledAddict, but manages to stay ''just'' on the right side of funny when lampooning Liza's chronic drugs and alcohol problems.

* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: For the ''Snatch Game'', she portrays British porn actress and LGBTQI+ ally Sophie "Cock Destroyer" Anderson, and whilst her GagBoobs and suggestive finger-licking is fun, her accent is ''abominable'' and pure Creator/DickVanDyke-hell for any Brits tuning in.

* BlackComedy: BOA's unafraid to cross the line, which is best exhibited for her tar-black ''Snatch Game'', where she portrays Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, a young woman who was kept a wheelchair-bound prisoner by her MunchausenSyndrome suffering mother.

* SpoiledBrat: Invoked for comedic effect in many of her looks -- of particular note is her Jonbenet Ramsey-inspired ''Pageant Perfection'' outfit, as well her ''Snatch Game'' performance, where she portrayed ''Series/DanceMoms'' brat, Jojo Siwa.

* PlayingGertrude: For the ''Snatch Game'', she leans into both her uber-French Canadian and seasoned queen vibe, doing a visually-hilarious job sending up the venerable Édith "Je ne regrette rien" Piaf, who's often celebrated as TheChanteuse of France.

* BlackComedy: BOA's unafraid to cross the line, which is best exhibited for her black as tar ''Snatch Game'', where she portrayed Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, a young woman who was kept a wheelchair-bound prisoner by her MunchausenSyndrome suffering mother.

* MotorMouth: Lemon's fast talking allows her to squeeze a BadassBoast ''and'' individual disses to each queen on the other team into her rap verse.

* SpoiledBrat: Invoked for comedic effect in many of her looks -- of particular note is her Jonbenet Ramsey-inspired ''Pageant Perfection'' outfit.

* CircusBrat: Originally worked in the circus for several years. It's an experiences she combines with her drag, which often features clownish makeup, and she's undoubtedly the first queen in the franchise to walk out onto the runway doing a fire-eating trick.

* BadassBoast: Creates most of her own outfits and outlines how well crafted and perfectly tailored they are.

* GenreMashup: For the ''Québec-ky With The Good Hair'' runway, she serves a confused mixture of Cousin Itt from ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' from the back, before turning around to reveal her front, which is ''supposed'' to be inspired by Chun-Li from the video game ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', but in practise looks ''nothing'' like her. The judges find her outfit bewildering, she lands in the bottom, and is ultimately sent home after an equally poor showing the ''Not Sorry Aboot It'' rap battle.

* YourTraditionIsNotMine: The first queen not to leave a lipstick mirror message since the tradition was introduced by Shangela all the way back in US Season 2.

* BrutalHonesty: When it comes to how she did in the competition, Priyanka is sometimes a little too honest with herself. Her voice over for the Snow Ball includes "I am covered in bullshit."

* SelfDeprecation: Owns the fact that she fumbled the Snatch Game pretty hard, and isn't above making fun of herself for it. In a particularly positive example of this trope, Pri isn't too down on herself for that since she believes wholeheartedly that she bounced back from it... and she's proven right in the ''best way possible.''

* CircusBrat: Originally worked in the circus for several years. She exemplifies this by coming out on the runway with a fire-eating trick.
* DanceBattler: In the finale, we finally get to see what Scarlett can do in a lip-sync -- two actually, if you include the final musical number -- since she was the only one who'd never been in the bottom. Scarlett turns out to be capable of splits and high kicks that could give Kennedy Davenport a run for her money.

->'''From''': Ottawa, Ontario

* DanceBattler: Touts herself as one in her entrance quote.

* FlatCharacter: Aside from her being francophonic, nothing about Kiara particularly stood out, she received less confessional time than the other girls, and virtually no storyline or character development.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: ''"Pack your cheap drag up real neat, while I sit back and beat my meat."''

* ReallyGetsAround: Briefly mentions how much dick she could get if she wore her first runway look to an event.

* ExcitedKidsShowHost: Was the host of Creator/{{YTV}}'s ''The Zone'' for the past 6 years before leaving the show for ''Drag Race''. Yes, Canadian millennials, that ''is'' Suki, and she still maintains the excitability and energy that comes with the trope.
** DepravedKidsShowHost: That being said, the first episode alone has Priyanka saying "motherfucker" and calling Jimbo "daddy," now that she doesn't have to keep it squeaky clean for the camera.
* GirlfriendInCanada: Claims Priyanka is her ''girlfriend'' to her father in order to avoid being outed as gay and that once the show airs he'll finally be able to met "her". (Pri did eventually come out to her father during the season's airing.)

* AlwaysSecondBest: By the ''seventh'' week in a row of being safe, Scarlett is going out of her mind wondering what it's going to take to finally get a win. Brooke even points out during deliberations that she's the most consistent contestant of the season, which of course is a double-edged sword. In episode 9, she finally averts this in spectacular fashion by winning the ball challenge.

* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her usually quiet persona is defied in the ''Snatch Game'', where she impersonates the one and only Creator/JoanRivers -- hallowed ground in the gay community -- and is notable here as [[SeriousBusiness a daunting feat never before attempted in ''Drag Race'' her-story]], and dominates the game.

* MyGreatestSecondChance: After being in the bottom two in episode 1 and narrowly escaping a loss, she ''wins'' the challenge in episode 2.

* UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}: Hails from Canada’s largest city and financial hub.

* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench: One of the two Montreal queens, Rita's accent is very prominent and she embraces it. She also has the marvellous StockForeignName of Jean-François, revealed in the finale during the 'what would you tell your younger self' segment, which simply could not get more French.

* PunnyName: Rita Baga, rutabaga (a swede, for our non-North American readers).

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Upon finding cheese curds in her box, Rita can't keep herself from tucking into them. She even carries the bag out onto the runway and eats a handful.
** That and hot dogs. It's her inspiration for putting on a more modelesque face after coaching from Stacy for the recycled couture challenge and she actually gets to eat them during the late night lawyer commercial acting challenge.
