* NoDamageRun: Second queen and first winner to make it to the finale without lip syncing for her life.

* TheQuietOne / OutOfFocus: During her tenure on the show, she had somewhat less screen-time than the other girls, and generally just observed conversations, as opposed to involving herself in them.

* SurferDude: Her look out of drag, due to having a classic surfer cut of chin-length, light blonde hair which she tucks behind her ears.
* TransTribulations: Sonique is the first queen in the franchise to openly discuss their transgender identity in-series. Whilst she may have been OutOfFocus for much of the season, a section of the reunion episode is given over to her discussing her struggles with her gender identity during her time on the show.

* BusCrash: She passed away in 2012 due to heart failure. The first episode of ''All-Stars'' was dedicated to her.
* DanceBattler: She was pegged as "The Dancer" when in the first episode, she had to lip-synch against her former college classmate, Shangela.

* UrExample: The first of many girls from the House of Davenport to show up on ''Drag Race''.

* SpicyLatina: Downplayed, as she's a sweetheart, but she is quite sultry, with a thick accent to match.

* PrettyBoy Even as a man, Tatianna--aka Joey Santolini--is [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sdu5pWuDsDQ/UVCgdRZ34OI/AAAAAAAArGI/WTJKM2V-E34/s1600/20130325-tatianna.png one of the more handsome contestants]].

%%* AsianAndNerdy

* DanceBattler:
** The first lip sync assassin to reach legendary status, having sent three other queens home, two of whom were challenge winners while the other was consistently in the top.
** Her first ever lip sync loss is in her return in All Stars 5 against Lip Sync Assassin Monét X Change, which due to the ''All Stars'' format change, means that this was her first ever Maxi Challenge win on 3 seasons of the show.

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Jujubee's out-of-drag first name is ''Airline''. [[https://www.phnompenhpost.com/7days/all-glitters-bold Her parents who were recent immigrants from Laos didn't know what adding an "e" to the end of the name "Airlin" would do in English.]]

* PowerCopying: Had the uncanny ability to just watch choreography and instantly master it, without even having to practice the routine beforehand. This caused friction with the other queens, as they assumed she was just being lazy while she stood there memorizing the moves.

!Shangela Laquifa Wadley [-(12th)-]

->'''Real Name''': D J Pierce

->'''Real Name''': Bryan Christopher Pryor

-> "My name is Nicole. Paige. Brooks from Atlanta, Georgia"

->'''Real Name''': Donté Sims

->'''Real Name''': Kylie Sonique Love

->'''Real Name''': Thomas White

->'''Real Name''': Antoine Ashley

->'''Real Name''': José David Sierra

->'''Real Name''': Michael Steck

->'''Real Name''': Joey Santolini

->'''Real Name''': Airline Inthyrath

* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Jujubee's boy name is ''Airline''. [[https://www.phnompenhpost.com/7days/all-glitters-bold Her parents who were recent immigrants from Laos didn't know what adding an "e" to the end of the name "Airlin" would do in English.]]

->'''Real Name''': David Petruschin

->'''Real Name''': James William Ross IV

* [[AbsurdlyYouthfulMother Absurdly Youthful Father]]: James Ross was 21 when on the show and his son was just starting preschool. Do the math.

* PersonaNonGrata: The current stance taken by production, fans, and James Ross himself towards Tyra Sanchez over the course of a 3 year span. In 2017, he falsely claimed Morgan [=McMichaels=] had died and the link to the fake obituary he posted sent people to his Soundcloud account. Then in 2018, he made threatening statements towards Jaremi Carey (Phi Phi O'Hara) and Tatianna, and by proxy attendees of Drag Con LA 2018, leading to him being banned from the event and World of Wonder demanding an apology video that he produced but they did not accept. In ''Drag Race'' peripheral media like ''Fashion Photo [=RuView=]'' he was notably omitted from an even-numbered season winners episode. He later released a more indepth apology in late 2019, but by early 2020 he announced he was quitting drag entirely and that he no longer wanted to be associated with the Tyra Sanchez character anymore or be (facetiously) referred to as a woman or with feminine pronouns. To date, he is the only winner of the show to completely quit drag.

\\

\\

* UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}}: A proud resident ... except she's not. She used to be part of the Chicago drag scene, but in the third episode she admits she lives and works in Texas.

* SurferDude: Her look in boy-mode, due to having a classic surfer cut of chin-length, light blonde hair which she tucks behind her ears.

\\

* UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}}: Morgan is Scottish and was born and raised in West Dunbartonshire before moving to the US aged 18 for work.

* TheAce: By far the best performing queen of the season and one of the top across the entire series. She’s the first ever queen to win three challenges, had continuous high placements, and no times in the bottom.
%%* AttractiveBentGender

* FollowTheLeader: When she got eliminated, she wrote a brief farewell message in lipstick on the mirror, which quickly became a ''Drag Race'' tradition.

* BrutalHonesty: Always spoke her mind openly, whether it was to hit on Raven or to call Tatianna a "tranny" for going to high school in drag. Jujubee even calls her out as a bitch, to which she doesn't deny.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Tanked the ''Country Realness'' runway because she was convinced if she came out in a stereotypical Western/Cowboy look she'd deeply offend her Texan fanbase. It got to the point where Mystique was in tears defending her fear of the backlash.
