* DeadpanSnarker: Although to be fair most of what she said came out as rather deadpan, she did like to talk filth about her fellow queens when she got the chance. Her read on how India likes to paint herself "old school" comes to mind.
* DressesTheSame: Ends up wearing an almost identical outfit to India Ferrah when the show starts, with the two proceeding to glare daggers at each other. Happens ''again'' with the Christmas runway, in which Venus D-Lite claims she stole her ornament collar idea.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends
* ManlyGay: Out of drag, he was one of the more masculine looking contestants, especially when compared to queens like Mariah and Tatianna.

* AttentionWhore: The tears, the tantrums, the histrionics -- she certainly lived up to her name.
* BigBeautifulWoman
* DramaQueen: Linking back to her AttentionWhore personality, it was not at all uncommon for Mimi to cry when things got challenging, or whenever another queen would bring up a hardship they've had to overcome, for her to try and top them with an even more dramatic experience in her life.
* LameExcuse: Said the reason she pushed in front of India and picked her up during their lip synch was because that was the style of the New York drag club scene. The other queens were quick to point out acting that way is fine in a club with queens you know, but not in a competition where someone is going to be sent home.
* LargeHam: Most obviously during the Space challenge, where Mimi's [[ChewingTheScenery tooth marks]] were all over the set by the end.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, after she picked up India Ferrah during their lipsync, Mimi's entire character on Drag Race was pretty much defined by that moment, even into her run on ''All Stars''.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Seems to be her lip sync style, as she is constantly pushing against and in front of India during their lip sync, finally coming to a head when she lifts India over her shoulder ''clearly'' against her will.
* NonIndicativeName: Invoked by Delta Work when she muddles over Mimi's drag name by saying that Mimi Imfurst isn't first, and in her opinion, isn't even second.
* OverTheShoulderCarry: Lifted a screaming India this way during a lipsync. After the incident, Ru felt the need to remind Mimi drag is ''not'' a contact sport before eliminating her.
* PunnyName: [[AttentionWhore Me! Me! I'm first!]]
* RejectedApology: Despite doing her best to try and make amends for her behavior, India refused to cut her any slack during the reunion.
* UpToEleven: The only way the judges could describe her fitness routine, in which they critiqued her on relying on ''every single'' drag trick in the book, which ultimately just led to a sloppy and confusing presentation.

* AndAllIGotWasThisLousyTShirt: Was given a shirt by Mimi during the reunion that said ''"I got picked up by Mimi Imfurst and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"'' India was not amused.
* BigBreastPride: Despite the fact they're fake, India loved using her breast plate every runway, to the point where the judges called her out on it for using it so often.
-->"I paid $600 for these breasts, I'm gonna show them off!"
* DistressedDamsel: When Mimi infamously lifted her over her head during their lipsynch.
* DressesTheSame: With Phoenix, both entering the competition wearing a similar leather ensemble with black and blond streaked wig. Neither queen was amused, to say the least.

* CountryMouse: Her hometown is [[DeepSouth Back Swamp, North Carolina]], and she talks about feeling somewhat intimidated competing with the big city queens like Raja.
* DeepSouth: Stacy lives "on a dirt road next to a cornfield" -- it doesn't get more country than that.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: When Stacy de-dragged for the first time, the other competitors commented they could hardly tell, as she really did look like a woman. She even claimed that she has had sex with men who did not know she was a man.
* OverlyLongName: When Ru nicknamed her "Stacy Layne Bryant Matthews Lattisaw Q." Lane Bryant is a chain of plus-sized clothing stores, and Stacy Lattisaw and Stacy Q. are pop singers.
* ShrinkingViolet: One of her most often cited critiques by the judges. Her lack of confidence always seemed to get the better of her as they saw a queen who would occasionally shine, only to withdraw back into her shell afterwards.

* BrutalHonesty: To the point where her CatchPhrase was "Just keepin' it real". Raja accused her, however, of her 'keeping it real' as just being an excuse to be rude and insulting to the queens she didn't like
* CatchPhrase: In addition to "Halleloo", she added "Just keepin' it real" this season.
* EntitledBastard: Accused of this by Raja and Alexis, that Shangela was quick to ask for help, but when she was asked for a favor she'd suddenly be too involved in the competition to assist.
* HesBack: Infamously returned to the show after being eliminated in the first round of Season 2.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: She claimed this was the reason she looked so bored during critiques on the main stage, her mind would wander and she would end up thinking of other things ... [[LovableSexManiac sometimes involving her boyfriend's penis]].
* CantTakeCriticism: Accused of such on the mainstage, when the judges said although Carmen always looked flawless walking down the runway, during the critiques she looked like she couldn't give a shit any longer and seemed to be ignoring their feedback.
* CelebrityLie: Early in the competition, she liked to claim that she was good friends with Music/JenniferLopez ... although later on she changed her story saying she didn't know her all that well, leading the rest of the queens to accuse her of lying before, and in fact, was probably still lying that she knew Jennifer Lopez at all.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A minor case. Sometimes she will be just mesmerized by the flashes of the spotlight or the reverberation of her voice on a microphone. Most of her screen time while in drag she just have this blank smile.

----
* DeadpanSnarker: Although to be fair most of what she said came out as rather deadpan, she did like to talk filth about her fellow queens when she got the chance. Her read on how India likes to paint herself "old school" comes to mind.
* DressesTheSame: Ends up wearing an almost identical outfit to India Ferrah when the show starts, with the two proceeding to glare daggers at each other. Happens ''again'' with the Christmas runway, in which Venus D-Lite claims she stole her ornament collar idea.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends
* ManlyGay: Out of drag, he was one of the more masculine looking contestants, especially when compared to queens like Mariah and Tatianna.
* NoFairCheating: Was called out by Venus D-Lite during the Christmas dressmaking challenge, when she claimed Phoenix has stolen her idea of breaking up tree ornaments and hot gluing them to her collar.
** Also during her elimination when she was dancing to ''Bad Romance'' India Ferrah called her out on simply copying Lady Gaga's dance moves instead of making the song her own.
* PunnyName: Her boy name is Brian ''Trapp'', a "trap" is also slang for a man who looks like a woman, although this coincidence didn't get brought up during the show.

->'''Real Name''': Braden Chapman
->"I try to put the B in subtle."
----
* AttentionWhore: The tears, the tantrums, the histrionics -- she certainly lived up to her name.
* BigBeautifulWoman
* DramaQueen: Linking back to her AttentionWhore personality, it was not at all uncommon for Mimi to cry when things got challenging, or whenever another queen would bring up a hardship they've had to overcome, for her to try and top them with an even more dramatic experience in her life.
* LameExcuse: Said the reason she pushed in front of India and picked her up during their lip synch was because that was the style of the New York drag club scene. The other queens were quick to point out acting that way is fine in a club with queens you know, but not in a competition where someone is going to be sent home.
* LargeHam: Most obviously during the Space challenge, where Mimi's [[ChewingTheScenery tooth marks]] were all over the set by the end.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, after she picked up India Ferrah during their lipsync, Mimi's entire character on Drag Race was pretty much defined by that moment, even into her run on ''All Stars''.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Seems to be her lip sync style, as she is constantly pushing against and in front of India during their lip sync, finally coming to a head when she lifts India over her shoulder ''clearly'' against her will.
* NonIndicativeName: Invoked by Delta Work when she muddles over Mimi's drag name by saying that Mimi Imfurst isn't first, and in her opinion, isn't even second.
* OverTheShoulderCarry: Lifted a screaming India this way during a lipsync. After the incident, Ru felt the need to remind Mimi drag is ''not'' a contact sport before eliminating her.
* PunnyName: [[AttentionWhore Me! Me! I'm first!]]
* RejectedApology: Despite doing her best to try and make amends for her behavior, India refused to cut her any slack during the reunion.
* UpToEleven: The only way the judges could describe her fitness routine, in which they critiqued her on relying on ''every single'' drag trick in the book, which ultimately just led to a sloppy and confusing presentation.

* TenMinuteRetirement: After Season 3 she quit the business claiming the show had "taken the fun out of drag". However, she's back in her wig and pumps by the time of the Season 5 reunion, ending her retirement and seemingly taking back her harsh words about the competition.
* AndAllIGotWasThisLousyTShirt: Was given a shirt by Mimi during the reunion that said ''"I got picked up by Mimi Imfurst and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"'' India was not amused.
* BigBreastPride: Despite the fact they're fake, India loved using her breast plate every runway, to the point where the judges called her out on it for using it so often.
-->"I paid $600 for these breasts, I'm gonna show them off!"
* DistressedDamsel: When Mimi infamously lifted her over her head during their lipsynch.
* DressesTheSame: With Phoenix, both entering the competition wearing a similar leather ensemble with black and blond streaked wig. Neither queen was amused, to say the least.
* TheResenter: It was quite obvious during the reunion that she still harbored quite a lot of bitterness towards Mimi Imfurst for embarrassing her during their lipsync.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: This should be noted in Mariah's case, as Ru singles her out as one of the most beautiful and realistically feminine queens in all the series so far.
* InformedAbility: Was toted as Drag Race's first "Ballroom Queen", although what this actually meant and how it could have helped her in the competition are never explored before her elimination.
* PhraseCatcher: "They call this queen Mariah."
* TheQuietOne: The judges accused her of not standing out enough, and that she always seemed to be coasting by on safe.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Was upset that the judges only seemed to see her as pretty, and did not acknowledge her hard work in the competition.

* BigBeautifulWoman
* BigEater: Was supposed to be nibbling fried chicken during her shake weight workout routine, but ended up picking the bones clean during the ''first'' take! She had to use bread during the second take after running out of chicken.
* CountryMouse: Her hometown is [[DeepSouth Back Swamp, North Carolina]], and she talks about feeling somewhat intimidated competing with the big city queens like Raja.
* DeepSouth: Stacy lives "on a dirt road next to a cornfield" -- it doesn't get more country than that.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: When Stacy de-dragged for the first time, the other competitors commented they could hardly tell, as she really did look like a woman. She even claimed that she has had sex with men who did not know she was a man.
* OverlyLongName: When Ru nicknamed her "Stacy Layne Bryant Matthews Lattisaw Q." Lane Bryant is a chain of plus-sized clothing stores, and Stacy Lattisaw and Stacy Q. are pop singers.
* ShrinkingViolet: One of her most often cited critiques by the judges. Her lack of confidence always seemed to get the better of her as they saw a queen who would occasionally shine, only to withdraw back into her shell afterwards.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Delta Burke.
* PetTheDog: Giving up the phone call home she won in a mini-challenge to Shangela, who desperately wanted to use it to call her grandmother.
* UnknownRival: To Stacy Layne Matthews, whom didn't realize the extent of it until after the show had aired and she saw the hurtful, spiteful things Delta said about her. It seemed to stem from Stacy being almost an antithesis to Delta as a big queen, where as Delta was very polished but very insecure about her weight, Stacy seemed rather rough around the edges but very comfortable in her own skin.
* YouAreFat: What was usually thrown her way during the reading mini-challenge. It got to the point where she even calls the other queens out on the fact that was basically the only thing they could read her on.

* CatchPhrase: In addition to "Halleloo", she added "Just keepin' it real" this season.
* EntitledBastard: Accused of this by Raja and Alexis, that Shangela was quick to ask for help, but when she was asked for a favor she'd suddenly be too involved in the competition to assist.
* HesBack: Infamously returned to the show after being eliminated in the first round of Season 2.
