* OldSoldier: She has thirteen years under her belt -- in fact, she started as a backup dancer for season 1 runner-up, Rita Baga.

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Although she isn't the youngest queen on her season (Chelazon is, and she's younger than Fiercalicious by three years), Fiercalicious' youthful energy and lack of experience make her this in the eyes of her competitors. Even Lady Boom Boom, who is the same age as her, calls her this when Fiercalicious begs for help in the first maxi challenge (which involves sewing, which Fiercalicious has no knowledge of).

* TookALevelInBadass: She starts with an underwhelming runway in episode 1 that only barely misses the bottom two, but her runways slowly get more elaborate, and by episode 6, she wows everyone with a take on the famous painting "The Swing" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, that's light years ahead of anything she'd done before. Coupled with a surprisingly focused performance in the maxi challenge, she finally proves doubters wrong and scores her first win. Two episodes later, she impresses the judges with her versatility in the Ball challenge, gets a second win, and becomes a ''frontrunner,'' in a rise to prominence few could have anticipated in episode 1.

* FashionDesigner: In episode 4, all the contestants are given the exact same materials to make a runway look with. Yet somehow, the dress Gisèle turns in is ''so'' elaborate and ''so'' far beyond anyone else's concepts that her win that week is academic.
* NiceGirl: During the finale, it's universally agreed by contestants and judges alike that one of Giséle's defining traits is her kindness; always willing to lend a hand with sewing, and always a friend to everyone. Even with Fiercalicious - whom Gisèle, infamously chews out in episode 3, goes out of her way to point out how proud she is of her.

* CurtainClothing: In keeping with her mid-century vibe, her entrance look is a dress made out of damask sofa-fabric, complete with gold bullion fringing and a plastic mac to evoke a classic "still got the protective plastic on" 50s family couch.

* BadImpressionists: Impersonating Music/ArianaGrande was already a huge risk, as Tatianna found out in All Stars 2, since there's nothing particularly funny about her without needing to go over the top. Needless to say, the impression falls flat, mainly because she never sings - and ironically, she had to fight Miss Fiercalicious for the right to do Ariana at all! Later, it becomes even more clear that Kimmy DidntThinkThisThrough, as she explains that she still gets gender dysphoria from her singing voice because it's lower than her speaking voice.
* DanceBattler: The dancing queen of the season. Strong competitors like Lady Boom Boom and Vivian Vanderpuss were both put in the bottom 2 with Kimmy, and she firmly outclassed both of them. She also nails the choreo in the finale musical number.
* LargeHam: Kimmy is extremely confident in her own abilities and isn't shy about letting everyone know. She's almost Laganja Estranja-levels of extra.
* LimitedWardrobe: Proves to be something of an AchillesHeel. If Kimmy isn't wearing a variation on a bra-and-panty silhouette, it's a corset, and the judges make it clear that they've seen enough of these silhouettes midway through the competition. Apparently, it wasn't clear enough - a corset is Kimmy's ''finale'' look. At least Kimmy knows how to work a runway.

* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Her Periodic Table runway is calcium-themed, so she enters with a bikini decked out in cow bones.

* DramaQueen: Easily the biggest in Canada's version of the franchise. She holds grudges over every perceived slight and believes everyone's coming for her, and she'll stop anything and everything to make sure those feelings are known. That combative nature is given a lot of screen time this season.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Fiercalicious is a pain in everyone's collective ass by the end of the first episode, thanks to her standoffish attitude and failure to live up to her own self-hype. During deliberations, ''everyone'' just naturally assumes she's in the bottom two for her basic, undercooked runway look, only for her to just barely avoid the lip-sync.
* HotBlooded: Very thin-skinned. She throws a huge hissyfit over being given the song she didn't want for the dancing challenge and is huffy right through the main stage rehearsals.

* ItsAllAboutMe: She spent two episodes in a row believing that her challenge assignments were a ploy from the other queens to make her look bad when they were genuinely trying to help her out. Gisèle Lullaby gets fed up with it by the third episode and chews her out right there in the Werk Room.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After Fierce wins the commercial challenge, she rubs her victory in everyone's face, in retaliation for no one thinking she could win. Immediately, they all leave her to get out of her elaborate runway outfit by herself.

* ChewingTheScenery: In a performance that brings [[Characters/RuPaulsDragRaceSeason5 Detox]] to mind, the final lipsync - to Music/CelineDion's "A New Day Has Come" - sees Jada sell the passion of the song ''hard,'' with a lot of lip-quivering and shameless emoting. It ultimately proves to be a bit much compared to Giséle, who favors a softer touch and building to an emotional climax.

* TheAce: Gisèle ''emphatically'' won a design challenge and the Snatch Game, and proved to be well-rounded the whole season. She only stumbled once - the Rusical - and recovered in a lipsync that blew poor Irma Gerd off the stage. Come finale time, Brooke sums up Gisèle's appeal in a single word - ''finesse'' - and Brad sums her up as an "all-dressed chip" of drag.

* BlackComedy: Her performance as Marie Curie, constantly having MajorInjuryUnderreaction to the effects of radiation poisoning, in Snatch Game. Easily one of the darkest routines in the game's history, and everyone finds it ''hilarious.''

* NiceGirl: During the finale, it's universally agreed by contestants and judges alike that one of Giséle's defining traits is her kindness; always willing to lend a hand with sewing, and always a friend to everyone. Even with Fiercalicious - Gisèle, who infamously chewed her out in episode 3, goes out of her way to point out how proud she is of her.

* NuclearMutant: For the Snatch Game she plays scientist Marie Curie, a key figure in the history of nuclear science. As Curie eventually died of radiation sickness, Gisèle plays her as glowing green with radioactivity, losing an eyebrow that she hastily draws back on with a marker, shedding hair and teeth at inopportune moments during the game, and eventually growing tentacles where her hands used to be. Naturally or unnaturally, depending on your perspective, she wins the challenge.
* OldSoldier: She has thirteen years under her belt - in fact, she started as a backup dancer for season 1 runner-up Rita Baga.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: While Vivian is happy to accept Fiercalicious' apology over her behaviour, Gisèle goes out of her way to call her a bully and unprofessional just to hammer home how bad she was acting.
* SimpleYetAwesome: As mentioned above, in the finale lipsync, Gisèle is faced with Jada giving an incredibly emotional performance right from the get-go, wringing every last bit of feeling out of it. As opposed to Jada, Gisèle instead opts for a softer touch, giving much more poise, and building to an emotional climax. In the end, since "A New Day Has Come" is one of Music/CelineDion's less bombastic songs, Gisèle's approach is a better fit for it, and just like that, the crown is hers.

* AnimalMotifs: Her drag persona is a kooky cat lady, and in the Goddesses of the Ancient World runway she invoked the Norse goddess Freya and her cat-drawn chariot in a CatGirl look.
* {{Camp}}: Of the vintage variety; Vivian is this season's answer to queens like Jinkx Monsoon and Nina West.

* NiceGirl: She's this season's Miss Congeniality.

!Chelazon Leroux (10th)

!Kaos (9th)

!Lady Boom Boom (8th)

* TheAce: When it comes to sewing, at least. She has a degree in garment design, so when the first challenge is inevitably a sewing challenge there's a montage of every queen coming to her for advice and her growing more and more tired. In spite of that, she still makes her own flawless outfit and wins that week's challenge.
* BadImpressionists: For Snatch Game she does Mado Lamotte, a famous Montreal drag queen and also Boom Boom's boss, but she gets read after for being lifeless and not really telling any jokes. It ends up sending her home.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Her Sidewalk to Catwalk outfit has a pair of massive shoulder spikes.
* WholeCostumeReference: Her streetwear look for Sidewalk to Catwalk is clearly inspired by Manny Santos' thong outfit from ''Series/DegrassiTheNextGeneration''.

!Bombae (7th)

* BadImpressionists: She plays Creator/AzizAnsari for Snatch Game, but a weird version where he's secretly gay and trying to pick up a date. It doesn't land as no one understood why she was coming from that direction, only kept out of the lipsync thanks to her inspired runway.
* TheFashionista: The judges live for Bombae's fashion sense on the runway, even if she fades into the background in challenges. Her crazy, club kid-esque take on helium for the Periodic Table Of Elements runway is likely what keeps her out of the bottom two after an embarrassing Snatch Game performance.

* OneDegreeOfSeparation: She's the drag daughter of fellow competitor Halal Bae.

* RecursiveCrossdressing: In the Snatch Game, she (poorly) impersonated the male Aziz Ansari.

!Irma Gerd (6th)

* ObfuscatingStupidity: For the Snatch Game, Irma busts out Creator/MarilynMonroe. It's a well-researched take on her, too, incorporating the disconnect between her rather intelligent private persona and her dippy, blonde bombshell public persona. At one point, she drops a flurry of feminist jargon, only to be met with blank stares from everyone, and then apologizes and says "tits!" Everyone doubles over laughing. The judges love Irma's dedication to Marilyn and she places high (because it's not like ''anyone'' was topping Gisèle Lullaby - see below).

!Vivian Vanderpuss (5th + Miss Congeniality)

* BadassNative: She's Dene First Nation and she tries to incorporate her culture and heritage into every aspect of her drag.

* DoNotGoGentle: Her lipsync with Jada in episode 4 sees Kaos go down fighting -- despite her restrictive dress that's falling apart on stage, she manages some acrobatics that wow the judges, most notably a front flip that shocks Brooke. In the end, Jada's performance is just too on-point, but it was a valiant effort.

* HidingYourHeritage: She's Metis but also very white-passing, so when she hears Chelazon and Bombae discussing their cultures she feels tempted to join but ultimately doesn't because she fears she'd be overstepping in some way. When she's partnered with Chelazon in the third episode she elaborates that most of her family tries to downplay it but she really misses the connection she used to have as a kid. Fortunately, Chelazon assures her that no one can define her experiences but herself and just because she's pale doesn't mean she's not truly Metis.

* ShrinkingViolet: She's admitted that she has a difficult time speaking with other people and putting herself out there, which occasionally comes through in her performances.

* RascallyRaccoon: She tried to channel this energy in both her Sidewalk and Catwalk looks in the first challenge. While the grey and black colour scheme was there, the judges didn't recognize anything else tying it to the animal.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: We see the start of potential storylines regarding her being Bombae's mother and a former fling of Jada's...and then she eliminated in the first episode.

* [[Malaproper]]: In trying to comment on a runway look in which she wore a balaclava, she repeatedly calls it a baklava.
