* BerserkButton: Reading her on her age, as she says 'you're ''never'' too old to dream!'
* DownerEnding: Her elimination, WeHardlyKnewYe or not, was pretty sad to watch with the new Untucked format.
* FormerlyFat: Used to weigh over 400+ pounds before she decided that staying alive for her kids was more important than a bucket of fried chicken. Sadly, this ended up working against her when the judges point out her drag style seemed better suited for a big girl, and didn't do anything for her new, much slimmer body.
* GratuitousFrench: Her last name was chosen as a nod to her [[SouthernBelle Southern upbringing]], in that she wanted something that might sound fancy to someone from the south, even if it's actually pretty mundane (''Du Jour'' means something akin to a restaurant's specials for the day).

----
* {{Determinator}}: Had auditioned for Drag Race five times, making a pact with herself that despite the rejection she would keep applying until she made it.
* HairstyleMalfunction: Suffers from a small one during the ''Glamazonian Airways'' challenge when she couldn't let her hair down as smoothly as she was supposed to, sadly leading to her elimination.
* GenreSavvy: Self-proclaimed as she proudly says she has watched every season of Drag Race, and has memorized every challenge, plus who won and who went home in said challenge ... and then Ru tells the group that she's [[HilarityEnsues changing the first challenge]].
** GenreBlindness: Despite this, she still commits the cardinal sin of trying to shirk the blame of her first runway by claiming [[PoorCommunicationKills the challenge was hard to understand]] (despite being the only queen who misunderstood it).
** WrongGenreSavvy: Tried to treat the show like a true Reality TV competition, when Drag Race has more often focused on talent and charisma above everything else. Even afterwards she admits she was overthinking things which led to her elimination.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Certainly came across this way after she claimed after memorizing every episode of Drag Race she had 'cracked the code', only to be eliminated the second episode into the season.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: She's named after Music/{{Beyonce}}/Sasha Fierce.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Claimed this when she misunderstood the nude-illusion runway, strutting the catwalk in a nude-colored leotard instead of a "nude-illusion". However, as the other queens are quick to point out, she was the ''only'' person out of 14 queens to misunderstand the challenge.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Has dragged before as Mystique from ''Film/{{X-Men}}'', complete with blue bodysuit and red wig.
* TookALevelInDumbass: When given a second chance to join the competition, she spends most of the time catching up with the other queens or otherwise milling around, much to her partner's irritation. One has to wonder if Sasha even ''wanted'' to come back into the competition at that point, despite working so hard to get onto the show in the first place and claiming she had "cracked the code" of Drag Race.

----
* BareYourMidriff: With a cut six-pack to go with it.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: During Ru's first walk-through for the nude-illusion runway, Jasmine kept going on and on about how she wanted to walk the catwalk in a cocoon and then emerge like a butterfly, and ''kept'' saying that about three or four times over. Ru was so taken aback she actually excused herself from Jasmine without giving her any feedback!
* GrumpyOldMan: Old in drag standards anyway, but she venomously complains about the "young queens" of the competition (Trixie, Fame, Pearl, and Violet) in that they look too much alike, are too skinny, and they don't know anything about ''real'' drag since they're too young.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Took her drag name after actress [[Series/ADifferentWorld Jasmine Guy]].
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: For her "bearded lady" look, she came out with her back to the camera ready to stun, and turned around with a...charcoal beard like a child's hobo costume. She said it was because she's allergic to costume glue, but one would think she would have thought of a better workaround than that (like something that loops behind the ears). The judges at least praise her dress, but it's not enough to save her from the bottom two.
* NoodleImplements: During the old lady drag mini challenge, Jasmine struts out with a loaf of bread like she just left the grocery store. It totally worked for her costume, but since she had no way of knowing what the mini challenge would be ahead of time, she just happened to already have it with her things. Even [=RuPaul=] was hilariously confused.
-->"Where did you get a loaf of bread???"
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: While it was quite clear she would be in the bottom two for utterly failing the Shakespeare challenge, she irked some of the other queens by having her things packed even before the lipsynch, but she already felt defeated and ready to go by that point.
* {{Squee}}: Her reaction to realizing she'll be sharing a season with her drag idol Kennedy Davenport, or as she put it ...
-->"I'm geeked! I'm geeked!"
** WorthyOpponent: When the two had to lipsynch against each other, Jasmine took small comfort that it was at least Kennedy who sent her home.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the first couple episodes she came across as overly excited and generally likable ... then episode 3 came around and she starts throwing some serious shade towards the younger queens in the competition, generally coming off as a bitter bitch for no real reason.

->'''Real Name''': Ed Popil

----
* TheAlcoholic: Is ''very'' fond of her boxed wine.
* BerserkButton: Due to the fact it took her seven audition tapes to even get on the show, queens that claim that they are 'over it' about the judges' critiques or that they don't care about being on the show anymore (read: Jasmine, Pearl, Violet, and Kandy) really get under her skin.
* {{Determinator}}: As Alaska before her, she has auditioned for every single season of Drag Race.
* FamilyFriendlyStripper: How the other queens see her, although she likes to play it up sometimes even her "raunchy" humor is ''very'' family-friendly. She wasn't lying when she introduced herself as a suburban housewife drag queen.
* GracefulLoser: Unlike previous queens this season, Kasha is very upbeat about her elimination. After auditioning for seven years, she was happy enough to simply be on the show at all, and she's happy with the connections she has made and the opportunities she'll have from here on out.
* {{Suburbia}} {{Housewife}}: The basis of her drag character is as a suburban housewife who dreams of making it in show business.
* LoopholeAbuse: Won the 'Paper Dolls' mini-challenge by abusing the fact the only rule of the challenge was that she and her partner had to recreate [[{{Music/Bjork}} Björk's]] infamous "Swan Dress" out of paper, and there was nothing stopping her from dressing in drag as well. As a result, she ends up dressing up as Creator/JoanRivers and proceeds to mock interview Ru and her partner.
* ManlyGay: Out of drag, MKD is [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/Drag%20Race%207/kashasing.jpg bald and quite muscular]].
* OutOfFocus: Despite generally giving a decent performance, there was not much focus on her prior to her elimination.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: That's ''Mrs.'' Kasha Davis, but like many previous queens she's pretty relaxed about it.
* VocalDissonance: Her singing voice, which has been described by Ginger Minj as both the voice of Creator/EthelMerman and Paul Lynde’s lovechild, as well as the [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Cowardly Lion]].

----
* BoringButPractical: For her outfit for the "Death Becomes Her" runway was a rather pedestrian vampire costume that was criticized by the judges for showing little imagination, although during Untucked she admits that she only wore the outfit because she already knew was probably going to lip-synch, and the dress was aesthetically appropriate for the song she would be performing to.
* CatchPhrase: ''"This is right on my alley!"''
* FlatCharacter: Has been read by the judges for just being "pretty" and fading into the background.
* LovableSexManiac: Took the drag name 'Ho' for good reason, claiming that going even ''one'' day without sex is freakin' tough.
* SpicyLatina: Straight out of Puerto Rico.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Of a sort. April Carrion of Season 6 wore a Kandy Ho shirt in the work room one episode.
* GenreBlindness: Was probably not the brightest idea to call out her fellow competitor for being "old" when 3/4ths of the judging panel are, themselves, over the age of 45.
* MalaProper: When she claimed that the nude-illusion runway was 'right ''on'' her alley' ... even Ru had to stop and make sure that's really how she meant to say it.
* NoSocialSkills: At least Tempest seems to think so, after she greeted Kandy, Kandy retorted with a rather curt "so how old ''are'' you?"
* OutOfFocus: Does not get very much in the way of screentime, even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Pandora Boxx during ''Drag Center'' when she jokingly claims she forgot Kandy was still even on the show.
* PermaStubble: Invoked with her [[UncannyValleyMakeup face make-up]] in which her chin was painted so dark Michelle Visage actually asked her directly if she ''meant'' for it to be a beard, before informing her she needs to start painting for TV, ''not'' for the clubs.
** {{Irony}}: During the "Bearded Lady" runway theme, she was praised by Michelle for getting her contouring right, despite literally wearing a beard at the time.
** AesopAmnesia: By episode 6 her beard is back again, which was just one of the reasons for her elimination.
* TheRival: Only lasted an episode, but she butted heads with Tempest [=DuJour=] after Tempest was offended that Kandy asked her about her age during first introductions, to which Tempest pointed out on the main stage by calling Kandy rude and shallow.
* TheUnintelligible: Averted. She isn't nearly as bad as previous Puerto Rican queens. Turns out that's because she's originally from Connecticut.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Not only does she gloat about sending home the two oldest queens of the season, but when she herself is eliminated, she claims that the first thing she's going to do when she gets back to Puerto Rico is hold it over all the other queens' heads that she got on the show and they didn't.
!Max
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxm_1735.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Max Malanaphy
->"It’s a drag competition. If you’re not optimistic and having fun, then you’re not doing it right."
----
* BeautyMark: Likes to paint herself with a fake mole on her cheek.
* CelebrityResemblance: She's likened to Madonna by Ginger Minj ... but not in a complimentary way:
-->'''Ginger Minj''': "Max is the Madonna of [=RuPaul=]'s Drag Race. She's got a [[BeautyMark fake mole]] on her face and a [[FakeBrit fake British accent]] that [[OohMeAccentsSlipping comes and goes with the breeze]]."
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Self proclaimed 102 year old resident of the Literature/LandOfOz, and looks forward to Drag Race as a way to "feel out the real world". Although this seems to be just a character, as during the show she's quite clever and level-headed.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Her entire style, usually with a SplashOfColor on her blood red lips. She actually paints to look not just grey, but realistically greyscale as though she just stepped out of a 1940's glamour shot. In boymode, her alabaster skin, grey dyed hair and black outfits give the same effect.
* DrivenToSuicide: Her "Death Becomes Her" look, in which her character had ripped out her own heart out of grief, and carried it around in an ornate box.
* GenderBlenderName / OnlyOneName: Uses her real first name.
* TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood: Her preferred drag aesthetic.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Well, hair of silver or platinum ... or white gold at best ... but she certainly qualifies for all the other credentials, being young, optimistic, sweet, and dislikes vulgarity ... although at times her attitude seems to cross into PuritySue territories.
* Main/HeroicBSOD: During her final episode when she's in the bottom three, she complains about her corset causing her to be unable to breathe and has to take it off and sit down, before she suddenly bursts into song ... although afterwards Max has clarified that she really ''did'' feel dizzy in that moment, and the singing was due to Ru asking her to sing a few lines from ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow'', and Max choosing to sing ''A Star is Born'' instead, so it wasn't as sudden as the editing made it appear.
* ImplausibleHairColor: Despite only being 22 years old she prefers using silver-gray hair in her drag, to the point where it's considered her signature look. She's even dyed her normal boy-hair silver-gray as well.
* LighterAndSofter: Her drag and comedy styles, as she has a great distaste for vulgar humor or sexual themes.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Will sometimes speak with a British-esque inflection (Transatlantic) ... but only sometimes ... [[FakeBrit and despite the fact she's from Wisconsin, not England]]. She gets called out for this during the Reunion, where she tries to reason that she ''isn't'' speaking with an accent, and that it's just diction and elocution.
* OutOfFocus: Although not uncommon for a queen to be thrown to the wayside after her elimination, the fact that so little spotlight was given to Max during her return episode or the Reunion seemed rather odd, especially since prior to her departure Max had won two challenges and was the front-runner in the competition.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Especially invoked in her dead girl look.
* NiceGuy: In team challenges she is extremely supportive of her teammates, always trying to encourage positive energy.
** GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being a genuinely nice queen, she is not a pushover. When Ginger felt upset but guilty over Kennedy winning a challenge when she did most of the work, Max points out that it isn't shade if you're right, and Ginger has a right to be annoyed by being passed over.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: She is borderline-offended when the other queens start talking about who they would like to have sex with among the cast and who is a top or bottom. Max later explained that she's not ''that'' much of a prude, but she was aware that her grandparents and eleven year old brother would be watching the show and wanted to keep her own appearance family-friendly.
* {{Retraux}}: The majority of her looks. Elegant society lady in glamour drag, Creator/BettiePage-esque looks in more revealing outfits.
* PerkyGoth: Many of her outfits had a gothic tinge to them -- classic Victorian novel gothic, not the modern variety.
* TheQuietOne: Tends to avoid drama when she can, so especially during Untucked she will sit on the sidelines and hold her tongue.
** BewareTheQuietOnes: When Max won the ''[=ShakesQueer=]'' challenge the other queens realized just how talented she really was.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one to Jaidynn after the latter broke down in tears during their ''[=ShakesQueer=]" rehearsal. Even Ru and Michelle seemed a bit taken back at just how supportive and kind Max acted.
* StatuesqueStunner: Standing at 6'5, she's one of the tallest competitors in the show's history.
* SourPrudes: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as during the reunion she laments how she came off as being a prude, but claims her behavior was just a reaction to the other queens ''constantly'' talking about sex non-stop and her being over it (just in that moment).
* WideEyedIdealist: Tries to stay quite sanguine, even saying outright if you're ''not'' being optimistic in a drag competition, you're not doing it right.
** ThinkHappyThoughts: When the other queens are being negative and bringing her down, she'll just try her hardest to stay cheerful and optimistic.
-->"Positive energy, positive energy!"
!Jaidynn Diore Fierce
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jdf_2968.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Christopher Williams
->"If I get eliminated, it's gonna be a real drag show because security will have to ''drag'' me out, 'cause I'm not going home. No ma'am, no ham, no Pam, no cauliflower, no cornbread, no green beans. I'm not going home."
----
* BigBeautifulWoman
* CatchPhrase: "No ma'am, no ham, no Pam..." though the exact wording varies.
* HeroicBSOD: Has a breakdown during the "Romy and Juliet" ''[=ShakesQueer=]'' challenge, as all the pressure of struggling with an acting challenge and being on the show in general seemed to hit her all at once.
* MyNaymeIs: It's not Jayden, it's 'Jaidynn'.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In honor of her love of fashion, she took part of her name from world renown designer, Christian Dior. Her last name comes from Music/{{Beyonce}}'s alter-ego Sasha Fierce.
* ShesGotLegs: Even though she's got curves, she's not afraid to wear short skirts that show off ''all'' of her legs.
* TransparentCloset: She admits that she never actually came out to her family, despite the fact that she's a ''drag queen'' and in boy mode is about as CampGay as they come. Though it isn't clear if Jaidynn is ''trying'' to stay closeted to them, or if they're in denial.
* YouAreFat: Although she claims that her "fupa is sexy" she admits that she's the constant target of these jabs (especially during the Awards Ceremony challenge), and finds them very irritating.
!Miss Fame
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mfame_6776.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Kurtis Dam-Mikkelsen
->"I'm ready to show everybody what I'm meant to do, which is to leave a beauty mark on the face of the planet."
----
* AttentionWhore: Certainly thinks she belongs center stage ... although this seems to be more of a facade, as she's admitted in Untucked she's well aware of her weaknesses in acting and performance, and is using the show to expand her horizons.
* CountryMouse: Although quite fabulous now, she grew up on a chicken farm. She gets a chance to talk about it in episode 5, much to her unabashed glee.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her makeup and fashion is always stunning, but her relative lack of experience and inability to do ... well, everything else that the competition requires ultimately resulted in her elimination.
* {{Expy}}: With her stunning looks, flawless makeup, and day job as a makeup artist, she was initially seen as one of Raja. However, as the show progresses, it becomes quite clear that is all she has in common with Raja, as Fame ends up stumbling in well, everything else in the competition.
* TheFashionista: Self-admitted, modeling and runways are what she specializes in.
* GlorySeeker: Took the name "Fame" because that's what she's after, and doesn't hide the fact she considers Drag Race as the next logical step towards her goal.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: For the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway, she struts the stage in a tent-sized and shapeless dress that ''should'' have been ugly, but she styles and accessorized it flawlessly (her strong-suit) so it came off as beautiful to the judges. Later, when up for elimination the giant dress made dancing all but impossible, practically handing her opponent a "chanté, you stay".
* InelegantBlubbering: Following an emotional video message from Ginger Minj's husband in the episode 5 Untucked, she has an unexpected breakdown due to feeling such deep sympathy for Ginger. She even admits [[ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy that she has no idea why she is crying so much during]].
* MotorMouth: Likes to talk and talk and talk...see the RunningGag below.
* NonAnswer: We get this exchange after [=RuPaul=] asks if Miss Fame has any acting experience ...
-->'''Miss Fame''': "Not yet. I mean I’ve had some opportunities that could be considered like an entryway to acting but not to the degree that I’d like to see my future evolve into."
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny What you just described was a CraigsList ad]]."
* ParentalAbandonment: Says that her mother was too interested in doing drugs to raise her, so she was instead raised by her loving grandparents.
** DisappearedDad: Her biological father was apparently not a factor in her life, and also recounts that her grandfather (who raised her) was murdered when she was only 15 years old.
* PhraseCatcher: "So how ''is'' your head?" with Miss Fame ultimately missing the joke (until Episode 8, that is)
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Trixie Mattel, although with the two enjoying hugging and cuddling so much some of the other queens have pointed out their closeness is reaching UnresolvedSexualTension territory.
* RunningGag: Twice she has missed a "How's your head?" joke from Ru--the first being an oral sex joke, and the second referring to the ''giant knife in her head'' in her "Death Becomes Her" runway look. Instead she took the question literally and blabbed on about her feelings and focus.
** Also, her running her mouth, as Miss Fame just ''loves'' to talk ... and talk, and talk, and ''talk''! It finally comes to a head in episode 8, where Ru finally tells her she needs to shut up and listen.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: In two challenges in which she did admirably but missed the win she's expressed annoyance that she's "just safe" when she feels she's "stronger than safe". Some fans have even started likening her to first season's Shannel in her 'I should have won'-attitude.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Was warned by the judges that by the second episode they already know she can serve model beauty, but now want to see if she has what it takes to perform and entertain as well. As a side note, at episode two she is the earliest queen to receive the 'stop relying on that body' critique ever.
* {{Squick}}: In-universe, she was absolutely ''repulsed'' by Jasmine Master's comment about Jaidynn's bunions, how she needs to "pop those corns to feed the children".
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: ''Miss'' Fame. Double-subverted in that she's married, and therefore is a "Mrs." not a "Miss", and that for the most part the other queens just call her "[[OnlyOneName Fame]]" instead of using her full name.
!Trixie Mattel
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tmattel_5718.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Brian Firkus
->"Drag queens always say paint for the back row ... I paint for the check cashing place down the street."
----
* BreakTheHaughty: During the ''Prancing Queens'' Untucked she is quite sure she's a shoe-in for the win, while agreeing everyone else (especially her dancing partner) needs to be ready in case they need to lip-synch. Then Ru tells them they are going to be judges in pairs, and ''then'' Trixie gets eliminated by her dancing partner.
* GracefulLoser: After her elimination she takes full responsibility that it was her own fault for being in the bottom 2, and takes solace in the fact her leaving at the very least means her friend Pearl can remain on the show. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for her second elimination, which she completely blamed on Ginger.
* InformedAttribute: Her {{Camp}} comedy ended up being this, the judges saying that although Trixie says she's camp and dresses like she's camp, she just wasn't all that campy ''or'' funny during her time on the show.
* InsultBackfire: The name Trixie was a nickname from her abusive step-dad whenever she would act too sensitive or too feminine as a child.
* {{Irony}}: The first time she gets eliminated it is because she wasn't delivering enough {{Camp}} comedy in the challenge, the second time she gets eliminated it is because she was delivering ''too much'' camp comedy in the challenge.
* JackOfAllStats: Ends up being her downfall, in that she tried so hard to not suffer CripplingOverspecialization for her {{Camp}} comedy that in the end she doesn't bring the funny, even for the comedy challenges.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: When she's brought back into the competition, pretty much every other queens admits that they didn't want ''anybody'' to come back, but if it had to be someone, they are glad it was Trixie.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [=RuPaul=] gives the eliminated queens a chance to rejoin the competition, leading to her and Pearl teaming up and winning the main challenge, allowing her to redeem herself.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Mattel, Inc., the toy company that makes the ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' doll.
* NeverMyFault: For her second elimination, she claims outright it was the fault of her dancing partner, Ginger Minj, and that she shouldn't have been sent home.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Her audition tape was one of the funnest of ''all seven seasons'' according to Ru ... this just made the fact she gets herself eliminated for being unable to be funny during a comedy challenge that more tragic, though.
* OhCrap: This was her reaction (clarified afterwards) during the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge when Ru informs the queens they are going to be judges as pairs. Trixie felt her performance alone was win-worthy, but knew paired with Ginger she was probably going to have to lip-synch.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Feels this way when she is paired off with Ginger Minj, that although she's trying her hardest she cannot compete with Ginger's raw energy and charisma.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: Trixie's boyfriend's parents apparently loved her dating their son ... until they discovered she was a drag queen.
-->"His mom said, 'Trixie’s clown drag makes me sick to my stomach.'"
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Miss Fame, although a few of the queens accuse the two of [[UnresolvedSexualTension being closer than that]], Trixie says she simply connects with Miss Fame better than any Drag Queen she's ever known from the clubs.
* ShesBack: Pearl brings her back into the competition after the two team up and win the main challenge. Too bad she only lasted one more episode before getting sent home again.
* ShrinkingViolet: As the other queens note, she has a big personality and lots of energy in the workroom, but once Trixie gets to the challenge proper all of that exuberance seems to disappear.
* UncannyValleyMakeUp: As evidenced by her above quote, she purposely invokes this trope.
!Katya
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katya_4887.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Brian [=McCook=]
->"Katya is at the intersection of glamour and comedy ... and you can find her right on the corner selling her ass."
----
* BiTheWay: Katya as a character. (Brian is gay.)
* BilingualBonus: Entered the competition speaking Russian, and during her first ConfessionCam the producers were kind enough to display her full drag name in Russian letters.
-->"Давай cезон семь!" [[note]]translation: Come on season 7![[/note]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her ConfessionCam clips can at times be a real thing to behold.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Describes herself as just your average, run-of-the-mill Russian, [[TheOldestProfession prostitute]], bisexual, transvestite [[TheOldestProfession hooker]].
* GenreBusting
* IdenticalStranger: Quite a few fans have pointed out that Katya looks a lot like Willam.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Her character.
* LargeHam: In the confessionals Katya says everything as if it's a matter of life or death and there is no middle ground with her.
** IncomingHam: Is the most likely to enter the workroom doing some sort of SillyWalk, either scuttling like a crab or being wheelbarrowed by Ginger Minj.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Her entirely made-up-on-the-spot outfit explanations tended to go in... unexpected directions. The description of her sparkly reunion outfit cape takes the cake:
--> A retired Russian hooker... moves to Mexico city... to start a... ''Series/TwinPeaks'' {{cosplay}}ing knitting circle...
* MrViceGuy: Suffers from several crippling addictions, from alcohol to meth, although she's clean and sober now. Ru even calls her out that she seems to be addicted to ''anxiety'', which Katya soon realizes might actually be the case.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her full drag name is Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, named after Russian Olympic gymnasts Yekaterina Lobaznyuk, Yevgeniya Petrovna Kuznetsova, and Elena Zamolodchikova.
* NiceGirl: Season seven's ''Miss Congeniality''.
* OverlyLongName: Just call her [[OnlyOneName Katya]], because "Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova" is a bit of a mouthful.
* SensualSlavs: The entire basis of her drag character, in reality she's from Boston. Seriously downplayed during the season, as Katya is terrified of doing her Russian routine for the show and failing (despite it being her specialty).
!Kennedy Davenport
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kdavenport_4101.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Reuben Asberry, Jr.
->"I spin, I kick, I flip, I jump off the stage in six inch heels. That's what puts the diva in it."
----
* CatchPhrase: "The struggle is real" and "next", as well as some variation of "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's normally pretty straightforward, but her "Death Becomes Her" runway look--and the backstory behind it--is perhaps the most bizarre outfit in ''Drag Race'' history. And that's saying something.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DisappearedDad: Her father had only recently passed a few years prior to this season. He was also the one who told Kennedy she needed to audition for Drag Race, and after he died she realized it was finally time to do so.
* IconicOutfit: the aforementioned "Death Becomes Her" [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/Drag%20Race%207/kfc.jpg runway look]] - for all the wrong reasons
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: As team leader for "[=MacBitch=]" she thought it would be a great idea to have everyone play roles outside of their comfort zones so everyone can show versatility (having Jasmine play valley girl, Violet play ghetto, Pearl as the narrator, etc.). She quickly realized this was a terrible idea and changes some of the cast around, but by then time was lost and the damage was done, causing her to end up in the bottom 2 for that challenge.
* JerkassHasAPoint: During the penultimate episode after Pearl and Violet are hurt after Kennedy and Ginger talk down about them as to why they shouldn't be the Next Drag Superstar, Kennedy very pointedly reminds them that not only did Ru ask them ''directly'' why their competitors shouldn't win, but Ru has done so every season, so they should of known it was coming. On top of that, Kennedy also notes whatever she and Ginger had said they had said to the girls' faces before, so it wasn't like their reads came out of no where.
* PhraseCatcher: Also doubles as a CallBack with "[=LaGuardia=] ... Newark ... Kennedy!" (the three international airports in the New York City area)
* PromotedToParent: During her lunch with Ru, she talks about as a child she had to take care of her severely retarded sister. She also reveals since their father had recently passed away, she was having to do it again.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: Her Little Richard impersonation for "Snatch Game." While some contestants (including two this season) have impersonated other drag queens, this was the first time someone straight-up portrayed a man. However, Little Richard's campy style and mannerisms were a natural fit and Kennedy stole the show and won the challenge (along with Ginger's Adele). Even Michelle--who makes it no secret that she hates boy drag--praised her for it.
* SouthernBelle: The "Dancing Diva of Dallas".
* SpiritedCompetitor: Most evident during the "Conjoined Queens" challenge, when given the chance to pair the queens up, and therefore form mismatched pairs to screw her competitors over, she went out of her way to pair the queens up with someone as aesthetically similar as possible. The only exception to this was Jaidynn and Tempest, although Kennedy said afterwards although they were an odd couple, they both said they had a lot of costume making experience to even out their disjointed looks. Kennedy claimed if she won this challenge she wanted to it with everyone at their best, and not because she put them at a disadvantage.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: During her speech to explain why she should win, she claimed to "condone" herself in a professional manner and that the two younger queens don't "condone" themselves that way. She meant to say "conduct". It goes unmentioned in the show, but viewers had a field day with it.
!Pearl
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pearldq_4773.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Matt James
->"I describe Pearl as a kind of robotic [[Literature/TheStepfordWives Stepford wife]] bitch."
----
* BookDumb: Has never heard of Theatre/{{Macbeth}} before, although she says outright she doesn't care if that makes her come off as young and illiterate.
* CatchPhrase: "Flazéda." Nobody (including Pearl apparently) was sure if she was trying to say "la-dee-da", "laissez-faire", "[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim fus ro dah]]", or what. It became something of a RunningGag since then.
** [[https://xyrena.com/product/flazedaedp/ Now available as a perfume!]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* EmotionlessGirl: Can come across this way, with the judges saying outright she acts like she's always on Valium or Lithium or something similar.
** DefrostingTheIceQueen: In episode 4, when she has to lip sync against one of her best friends, in Trixie Mattel. Upon being declared the winner, she bursts into tears and hugs Trixie before she leaves. She also admits on ''Untucked'' that she feels that Trixie deserves to stay more than she does.
* InSeriesNickname: The other queens dub her stiff dancing style as "[[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk PEARL SMASH!]]"
* InformedAttribute: When music producer Lucian Piane asks her how she would describe her stage performances and she replies that they are "Wild"... which is not really a word one would use to describe Pearl's overly chill, borderline-sleepwalking demeanor.
* ManlyGay: As with MKD, has a very masculine face, making her transformation into a queen all the more impressive.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe when Pearl had a minor breakdown and almost quit the competition, several queens afterwards keep referring to Pearl as the queen who "doesn't want to be there". It finally reaches a head in Untucked when Pearl has to explain that although she ''did'' have a moment where she wanted to leave (for about an hour), she came back, won that episode's challenge, and has been fighting to stay ever since. Gets brought up again by Ginger Minj in the penultimate episode, which completely pisses Pearl off.
* NoSocialSkills: According to the other girls she comes off as very cold and over it... although they admit they might just be misreading her style.
* OnlyOneName: Her full drag name is Pearl Liaison, but she only used the first part on the show.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Her most common criticism is that she has "sleepy eyes" and that she seems to be "sleepwalking" through the competition. By the third episode Ru has had enough of the sleepy act and gives Pearl an ultimatum:
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "Wake. Up. Pearl! Wake up!"
* SmallNameBigEgo: Admits that back home everyone always tells her how fabulous and wild she is, and so she just assumed when she got to the show the judges would be obsessed with her ... which ended up not happening.
* TheStoic: Her drag character, although she also claims to suffer from social anxiety which only adds to her stoicism.
* TheStoner: Probably averted, but Michelle Visage asks her point blank if she's a stoner since she always seems so chill and low energy.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: While her dancing during the Prancing with the Queens challenged was called stiff (which worked for the Charleston half, not so much for the twerking half), she was praised for showing great energy.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Was read by the other girls for painting herself to have a "bitch face" and "sleepy eyes".
* VocalDissonance: Has quite the masculine drawl, even while in drag. During her introduction she even greeted the other queens with a very mannish "'Sup?"
** UpToEleven: Dropped her voice ''even deeper'' for the Shakespearean challenge ... to which Ru and Michelle very quickly tell her was a ''very'' bad idea.
* WhatTheHellHero: Several queens were perturbed she claimed to be "over it" about the show and the judges criticizing her, since there are hundreds of queens who would give anything to be a part of ''Drag Race'' (Mrs. Kasha Davis in particular was upset she was eliminated when Pearl doesn't even seem to want to be there anymore).
!Ginger Minj
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gingerm_3072.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Joshua Eads-Brown
->"I am an overweight, asthmatic, chain-smoking, cross-dresser from Orlando, Florida. I like to describe myself as a [[SelfDeprecation glamour toad]]."
----
* BaitAndSwitch: "I've done Shakespeare plenty... and he liked it every time"
* BearsAreBadNews: In what's perhaps the first time the show has referenced ''real'' bears, for Ginger's "Death Becomes Her" runway look, she's being eaten by a grizzly.
* BigBeautifulWoman
* BigEater: Her Adele impersonation for "Snatch Game." It's interesting to note that nobody called her on having the same schtick as Latrice Royale in Season 4, though Ginger likely got a pass for doing her celeb justice.
* BigFun: Knows how to land a joke or hilarious one-liner, whether it's reading one of the other queens or making a [[SelfDeprecation jab at her own expense]].
* CatchPhrase: "I just about flooded my basement!" her most common retort if there's a sexy man or men in the room.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Says that her life was miserable before she met her [[HappilyMarried husband]], who was the first person in her life to ever make her feel beautiful and talented.
* IAmNotPretty: Although she has no problem delivering camp glamour, she always has trouble when asked to delivery actual beauty, since Ginger feels she's not attractive at all. It really reaches a head in the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge which not only forced her to dance, but to dress up half as a beautiful woman and half as a handsome man. She says outright it was her worst nightmare realized since when she dances she feels everyone is judging how she looks and the way her body jiggles.
* ICantDance: Although it didn't stop her from winning the ''Glamazonian Airways'' lip-synch and dancing challenge, it does hold her back in the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge.
* InSeriesNickname: Ginger likes to refer to herself, along with Mrs. Kasha Davis, Kennedy Davenport, and Jasmine Masters (and later, Katya), as the "Bitter Old Lady Brigade".
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Of a sort, when a challenge calls for acting or comedy, she is cocky and confident, but when it's something outside of her comfort zone, like dancing, beauty, or sewing, she seems to shut down and gets ready to pack her bags to go home.
* MathematiciansAnswer: One of her responses as {{Music/Adele}} in Snatch Game takes this form:
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "Where in England are you from?"
-->'''"Adele"''': "My house"
* MeaningfulName: Her name literally means "Red Vagina" in British slang.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Ginger Minj claimed to be both a terrible dancer and seamstress and multiple points during the show, and indeed her two trips to the bottom two came on a dancing and a sewing challenge. However, out of drag she has had a very successful stage career [[http://www.stageclick.com/person/10774.aspx with multiple credits for costume design and choreography]], leading many fans to conclude it was an act.
* OhCrap: Her reaction after poking fun at the "failure" of ''[[Series/RuPaulsDragU RuPaul's Drag U]]'', and Ru very pointedly informed her that ''Drag U'' was actually her favorite job ever, and that [[SeriousBusiness it changed people's lives]].
* RunningGag: Apparently when not on-camera she likes to mention she lives just 10 minutes from Gatorland ... a lot, according to the other queens.
* SadClown: During her lunch with Ru she admits that SelfDeprecation and telling jokes was how she got through the tough times in her life. She even says that life is just a giant parade of assholes, and the only way to survive is to make yourself the parade grand marshal!
* SelfDeprecation: A self-described "[[UglyCute Glamour Toad]]".
* StealingTheCredit: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] as she expresses frustration that in team challenges she's quick to offer her comedic expertise to her teammates and ''they'' win the challenges. She points out if she wants any chance at the top three she has to stop being so nice and focus more on herself. This leads to...
* TookALevelInJerkass: Although she styled herself as a self-deprecating "bitter old lady", her attacks on the younger queens were limited only to Untucked at first, before ending up on the main show itself.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being the de facto leader of the "Bitter Old Lady Brigade", she's actually only 29 years old (not even old by normal Drag Race standards).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has an irrational fear of being attacked by sharks.

->"My biggest strength is probably aesthetics. I'm very visually appealing ... Is that conceited?"
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Has been picked last for nearly every team challenge, the other queens saying outright she just has a bad energy about her that makes them want to not work with her, despite knowing she's talented. She pulls herself out of this trope's grasp later in the season as she TookALevelInKindness.
* BrutalHonesty: When called out on her "mean streak" in Untucked she claims it's really not intentional, she's just honest about her opinions regardless of who she may end up offending.
* CantTakeCriticism: Claims outright to hate Michelle Visage because she doesn't agree with Michelle's harsh critiques. Despite the fact that Violet ''won'' the challenge in question, she was still bent out of shape over the one negative critique she received. Ginger Minj is quick to point out that it's Michelle's ''job'' to be a judge, and Violet is being overly sensitive.
* CatchPhrase: "Come through!"
* {{Expy}}: Her ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' character was pretty much literally herself imagined as Hello Kitty, she even named her character "Lavender Trinket".
* TheFashionista: Her runways were always impeccable, fashion and silhouettes being one of her strongest attributes.
* HiddenDepths: During the ''Glamazonian Airways'' challenge, Michelle Visage said although Violet puts up a beautiful and poised front, she can see there's a clown hidden in there, which she hopes Violet will bring out to the surface more often.
** Also, when Miss Fame has a minor breakdown remembering the murder of her grandfather, it's Violet (and Trixie) who hug and comfort her.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Claims she came on the show to impress the judges, not to make friends with her competitors. However, she points out this attitude made things a lot harder on herself since it meant she often felt isolated while the other queens all had each other to lean on when they felt down or nervous.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Like to gloat that she has the smallest waist in Drag Race herstory. For her "Death Becomes Her" look, she struts the runway with [[UpToEleven a waist so cinched]] she actually walks the stage with an ''oxygen tank'' ...see for yourself [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8hsemcCMAEk7us.jpg here]]. According to her, it's eighteen inches -- less than half her shoulder width.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As the season progressed she went from being a {{Jerkass}} to this. During the season recap episode, Alaska even calls her a "bitch with a heart of gold".
* JerkassHasAPoint: Even the other queens will admit Violet ''does'' make a good point every so often, it's just the fact she's so prone to complaining when things don't go her way, or constantly giving her "stinkface" that the other queens tend to ignore what she has to say.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Was called out as such by Michelle Visage during the nude-illusion runway for not using any breasts, but [[AvertedTrope averted]] by the rest of the judges, who pointed out she looked like a high fashion model, who are known for being quite slender with typically ''very'' small breasts).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Took the name Violet after Creator/JenniferTilly's character from ''{{Film/Bound}}''.
* NonAnswer: In response to Trixie on whether she was a dancer, she replies "I’m not ''not'' a dancer, but I’m not a dancer" ... Trixie immediately calls Violet out for dodging the question.
* TookALevelInKindness: Has made a honest effort to not be such a bitch, going as far as to explain outright when she is trying to give a compliment so people don't think she's reading them. When Mrs. Kasha Davis comes back for the "Conjoined Twins" challenge, she says she can see a huge change in Violet's demeanor.
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: Chachki comes from the yiddish word for a knicknack or bauble.
* YoungAndInCharge: Won season seven, despite being only 22 years old (the second youngest winner in Drag Race history, after 21-year-old Tyra Sanchez from season two).

----
* BerserkButton: Reading her on her age, as she says 'you're ''never'' too old to dream!'
* DownerEnding: Her elimination, WeHardlyKnewYe or not, was pretty sad to watch with the new Untucked format.
* FormerlyFat: Used to weigh over 400+ pounds before she decided that staying alive for her kids was more important than a bucket of fried chicken. Sadly, this ended up working against her when the judges point out her drag style seemed better suited for a big girl, and didn't do anything for her new, much slimmer body.
* GratuitousFrench: Her last name was chosen as a nod to her [[SouthernBelle Southern upbringing]], in that she wanted something that might sound fancy to someone from the south, even if it's actually pretty mundane (''Du Jour'' means something akin to a restaurant's specials for the day).
* MeaningfulName: In honor of her theater background, she is named after the Shakespearean play "[[Theatre/TheTempest The Tempest]]".
* NobodyOver50IsGay: Although she's not quite 50, at 46 she's the oldest contestant on Drag Race, thus far.
* OpenMindedParent: Is the father of two (along with her husband) through adoption. She's also completely open with her kids about her drag persona, and even lets them play with her wigs and make-up.
* TheRival: A very short-lived one with Kandy Ho, when Kandy asked her right out the gate about her advanced age, and made comments about how her drag style is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade.
* TheSmartGirl: Outside of drag, she's an associate professor at The School of Theatre, Film & Television at The University of Arizona.
* StatuesqueStunner: In addition to being the oldest queen in Drag Race history, she's also the tallest. Standing at a grand 6'6, she's an inch and a half taller than Season 4's large and in charge Latrice Royale.
* SuddenHumility: After her elimination she regrets being somewhat standoffish during her time on the show, and that she'll miss out on making friendships and learning from the other queens of her season.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when she returns with the other eliminated queens in Episode 8 and gets a bit more of a backstory.

->'''Real Name''': Jared Breckenridge
->"[[GenreSavvy I can tell you every episode]], what the challenge was, who went home. [[TemptingFate I feel like I've cracked the code]]."
----
* {{Determinator}}: Had auditioned for Drag Race five times, making a pact with herself that despite the rejection she would keep applying until she made it.
* HairstyleMalfunction: Suffers from a small one during the ''Glamazonian Airways'' challenge when she couldn't let her hair down as smoothly as she was supposed to, sadly leading to her elimination.
* GenreSavvy: Self-proclaimed as she proudly says she has watched every season of Drag Race, and has memorized every challenge, plus who won and who went home in said challenge ... and then Ru tells the group that she's [[HilarityEnsues changing the first challenge]].
** GenreBlindness: Despite this, she still commits the cardinal sin of trying to shirk the blame of her first runway by claiming [[PoorCommunicationKills the challenge was hard to understand]] (despite being the only queen who misunderstood it).
** WrongGenreSavvy: Tried to treat the show like a true Reality TV competition, when Drag Race has more often focused on talent and charisma above everything else. Even afterwards she admits she was overthinking things which led to her elimination.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Certainly came across this way after she claimed after memorizing every episode of Drag Race she had 'cracked the code', only to be eliminated the second episode into the season.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: She's named after Music/{{Beyonce}}/Sasha Fierce.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Claimed this when she misunderstood the nude-illusion runway, strutting the catwalk in a nude-colored leotard instead of a "nude-illusion". However, as the other queens are quick to point out, she was the ''only'' person out of 14 queens to misunderstand the challenge.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Has dragged before as Mystique from ''Film/{{X-Men}}'', complete with blue bodysuit and red wig.
* TookALevelInDumbass: When given a second chance to join the competition, she spends most of the time catching up with the other queens or otherwise milling around, much to her partner's irritation. One has to wonder if Sasha even ''wanted'' to come back into the competition at that point, despite working so hard to get onto the show in the first place and claiming she had "cracked the code" of Drag Race.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gets called out by Pearl after Sasha named her the weakest link on the mainstage, Pearl upset that Sasha had been so nice to her face during the entire first episode up until that point.

->"No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade."
----
* BareYourMidriff: With a cut six-pack to go with it.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: During Ru's first walk-through for the nude-illusion runway, Jasmine kept going on and on about how she wanted to walk the catwalk in a cocoon and then emerge like a butterfly, and ''kept'' saying that about three or four times over. Ru was so taken aback she actually excused herself from Jasmine without giving her any feedback!
* GrumpyOldMan: Old in drag standards anyway, but she venomously complains about the "young queens" of the competition (Trixie, Fame, Pearl, and Violet) in that they look too much alike, are too skinny, and they don't know anything about ''real'' drag since they're too young.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Took her drag name after actress [[Series/ADifferentWorld Jasmine Guy]].
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: For her "bearded lady" look, she came out with her back to the camera ready to stun, and turned around with a...charcoal beard like a child's hobo costume. She said it was because she's allergic to costume glue, but one would think she would have thought of a better workaround than that (like something that loops behind the ears). The judges at least praise her dress, but it's not enough to save her from the bottom two.
* NoodleImplements: During the old lady drag mini challenge, Jasmine struts out with a loaf of bread like she just left the grocery store. It totally worked for her costume, but since she had no way of knowing what the mini challenge would be ahead of time, she just happened to already have it with her things. Even [=RuPaul=] was hilariously confused.
-->"Where did you get a loaf of bread???"
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: While it was quite clear she would be in the bottom two for utterly failing the Shakespeare challenge, she irked some of the other queens by having her things packed even before the lipsynch, but she already felt defeated and ready to go by that point.
* {{Squee}}: Her reaction to realizing she'll be sharing a season with her drag idol Kennedy Davenport, or as she put it ...
-->"I'm geeked! I'm geeked!"
** WorthyOpponent: When the two had to lipsynch against each other, Jasmine took small comfort that it was at least Kennedy who sent her home.
* TookALevelInJerkass: In the first couple episodes she came across as overly excited and generally likable ... then episode 3 came around and she starts throwing some serious shade towards the younger queens in the competition, generally coming off as a bitter bitch for no real reason.

->'''Real Name''': Ed Popil
->"There's ''always'' time for a cocktail!"
----
* TheAlcoholic: Is ''very'' fond of her boxed wine.
* BerserkButton: Due to the fact it took her seven audition tapes to even get on the show, queens that claim that they are 'over it' about the judges' critiques or that they don't care about being on the show anymore (read: Jasmine, Pearl, Violet, and Kandy) really get under her skin.
* {{Determinator}}: As Alaska before her, she has auditioned for every single season of Drag Race.
* FamilyFriendlyStripper: How the other queens see her, although she likes to play it up sometimes even her "raunchy" humor is ''very'' family-friendly. She wasn't lying when she introduced herself as a suburban housewife drag queen.
* GracefulLoser: Unlike previous queens this season, Kasha is very upbeat about her elimination. After auditioning for seven years, she was happy enough to simply be on the show at all, and she's happy with the connections she has made and the opportunities she'll have from here on out.
* {{Suburbia}} {{Housewife}}: The basis of her drag character is as a suburban housewife who dreams of making it in show business.
* LoopholeAbuse: Won the 'Paper Dolls' mini-challenge by abusing the fact the only rule of the challenge was that she and her partner had to recreate [[{{Music/Bjork}} Björk's]] infamous "Swan Dress" out of paper, and there was nothing stopping her from dressing in drag as well. As a result, she ends up dressing up as Creator/JoanRivers and proceeds to mock interview Ru and her partner.
* ManlyGay: Out of drag, MKD is [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/Drag%20Race%207/kashasing.jpg bald and quite muscular]].
* OutOfFocus: Despite generally giving a decent performance, there was not much focus on her prior to her elimination.
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: That's ''Mrs.'' Kasha Davis, but like many previous queens she's pretty relaxed about it.
* VocalDissonance: Her singing voice, which has been described by Ginger Minj as both the voice of Creator/EthelMerman and Paul Lynde’s lovechild, as well as the [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Cowardly Lion]]. Even [[SelfDeprecation Kasha herself gets in on the fun]], saying her singing voice was Creator/BeaArthur being channeled through her.

->'''Real Name''': Frank Diaz
->"I hope you girls have a sweet tooth because [[PunnyName Kandy Ho]] is in the house!"
----
* BoringButPractical: For her outfit for the "Death Becomes Her" runway was a rather pedestrian vampire costume that was criticized by the judges for showing little imagination, although during Untucked she admits that she only wore the outfit because she already knew was probably going to lip-synch, and the dress was aesthetically appropriate for the song she would be performing to.
* CatchPhrase: ''"This is right on my alley!"''
* FlatCharacter: Has been read by the judges for just being "pretty" and fading into the background.
* LovableSexManiac: Took the drag name 'Ho' for good reason, claiming that going even ''one'' day without sex is freakin' tough.
* SpicyLatina: Straight out of Puerto Rico.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Of a sort. April Carrion of Season 6 wore a Kandy Ho shirt in the work room one episode.
* GenreBlindness: Was probably not the brightest idea to call out her fellow competitor for being "old" when 3/4ths of the judging panel are, themselves, over the age of 45.
* MalaProper: When she claimed that the nude-illusion runway was 'right ''on'' her alley' ... even Ru had to stop and make sure that's really how she meant to say it.
* NoSocialSkills: At least Tempest seems to think so, after she greeted Kandy, Kandy retorted with a rather curt "so how old ''are'' you?"
* OutOfFocus: Does not get very much in the way of screentime, even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Pandora Boxx during ''Drag Center'' when she jokingly claims she forgot Kandy was still even on the show.
* PermaStubble: Invoked with her [[UncannyValleyMakeup face make-up]] in which her chin was painted so dark Michelle Visage actually asked her directly if she ''meant'' for it to be a beard, before informing her she needs to start painting for TV, ''not'' for the clubs.
** {{Irony}}: During the "Bearded Lady" runway theme, she was praised by Michelle for getting her contouring right, despite literally wearing a beard at the time.
** AesopAmnesia: By episode 6 her beard is back again, which was just one of the reasons for her elimination.
* TheRival: Only lasted an episode, but she butted heads with Tempest [=DuJour=] after Tempest was offended that Kandy asked her about her age during first introductions, to which Tempest pointed out on the main stage by calling Kandy rude and shallow.
* TheUnintelligible: Averted. She isn't nearly as bad as previous Puerto Rican queens. Turns out that's because she's originally from Connecticut.
* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Not only does she gloat about sending home the two oldest queens of the season, but when she herself is eliminated, she claims that the first thing she's going to do when she gets back to Puerto Rico is hold it over all the other queens' heads that she got on the show and they didn't.

->'''Real Name''': Max Malanaphy
->"It’s a drag competition. If you’re not optimistic and having fun, then you’re not doing it right."
----
* BeautyMark: Likes to paint herself with a fake mole on her cheek.
* CelebrityResemblance: She's likened to Madonna by Ginger Minj ... but not in a complimentary way:
-->'''Ginger Minj''': "Max is the Madonna of [=RuPaul=]'s Drag Race. She's got a [[BeautyMark fake mole]] on her face and a [[FakeBrit fake British accent]] that [[OohMeAccentsSlipping comes and goes with the breeze]]."
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Self proclaimed 102 year old resident of the Literature/LandOfOz, and looks forward to Drag Race as a way to "feel out the real world". Although this seems to be just a character, as during the show she's quite clever and level-headed.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Her entire style, usually with a SplashOfColor on her blood red lips. She actually paints to look not just grey, but realistically greyscale as though she just stepped out of a 1940's glamour shot. In boymode, her alabaster skin, grey dyed hair and black outfits give the same effect.
* DrivenToSuicide: Her "Death Becomes Her" look, in which her character had ripped out her own heart out of grief, and carried it around in an ornate box.
* GenderBlenderName / OnlyOneName: Uses her real first name.
* TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood: Her preferred drag aesthetic.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Well, hair of silver or platinum ... or white gold at best ... but she certainly qualifies for all the other credentials, being young, optimistic, sweet, and dislikes vulgarity ... although at times her attitude seems to cross into PuritySue territories.
* Main/HeroicBSOD: During her final episode when she's in the bottom three, she complains about her corset causing her to be unable to breathe and has to take it off and sit down, before she suddenly bursts into song ... although afterwards Max has clarified that she really ''did'' feel dizzy in that moment, and the singing was due to Ru asking her to sing a few lines from ''Somewhere Over the Rainbow'', and Max choosing to sing ''A Star is Born'' instead, so it wasn't as sudden as the editing made it appear.
* ImplausibleHairColor: Despite only being 22 years old she prefers using silver-gray hair in her drag, to the point where it's considered her signature look. She's even dyed her normal boy-hair silver-gray as well.
* LighterAndSofter: Her drag and comedy styles, as she has a great distaste for vulgar humor or sexual themes.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Will sometimes speak with a British-esque inflection (Transatlantic) ... but only sometimes ... [[FakeBrit and despite the fact she's from Wisconsin, not England]]. She gets called out for this during the Reunion, where she tries to reason that she ''isn't'' speaking with an accent, and that it's just diction and elocution.
* OutOfFocus: Although not uncommon for a queen to be thrown to the wayside after her elimination, the fact that so little spotlight was given to Max during her return episode or the Reunion seemed rather odd, especially since prior to her departure Max had won two challenges and was the front-runner in the competition.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Especially invoked in her dead girl look.
* NiceGuy: In team challenges she is extremely supportive of her teammates, always trying to encourage positive energy.
** GoodIsNotSoft: Despite being a genuinely nice queen, she is not a pushover. When Ginger felt upset but guilty over Kennedy winning a challenge when she did most of the work, Max points out that it isn't shade if you're right, and Ginger has a right to be annoyed by being passed over.
* NotDistractedByTheSexy: She is borderline-offended when the other queens start talking about who they would like to have sex with among the cast and who is a top or bottom. Max later explained that she's not ''that'' much of a prude, but she was aware that her grandparents and eleven year old brother would be watching the show and wanted to keep her own appearance family-friendly.
* {{Retraux}}: The majority of her looks. Elegant society lady in glamour drag, Creator/BettiePage-esque looks in more revealing outfits.
* PerkyGoth: Many of her outfits had a gothic tinge to them -- classic Victorian novel gothic, not the modern variety.
* TheQuietOne: Tends to avoid drama when she can, so especially during Untucked she will sit on the sidelines and hold her tongue.
** BewareTheQuietOnes: When Max won the ''[=ShakesQueer=]'' challenge the other queens realized just how talented she really was.
* RousingSpeech: Gives one to Jaidynn after the latter broke down in tears during their ''[=ShakesQueer=]" rehearsal. Even Ru and Michelle seemed a bit taken back at just how supportive and kind Max acted.
* StatuesqueStunner: Standing at 6'5, she's one of the tallest competitors in the show's history.
* SourPrudes: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as during the reunion she laments how she came off as being a prude, but claims her behavior was just a reaction to the other queens ''constantly'' talking about sex non-stop and her being over it (just in that moment).
* WideEyedIdealist: Tries to stay quite sanguine, even saying outright if you're ''not'' being optimistic in a drag competition, you're not doing it right.
** ThinkHappyThoughts: When the other queens are being negative and bringing her down, she'll just try her hardest to stay cheerful and optimistic.

----
* BigBeautifulWoman
* CatchPhrase: "No ma'am, no ham, no Pam..." though the exact wording varies.
* HeroicBSOD: Has a breakdown during the "Romy and Juliet" ''[=ShakesQueer=]'' challenge, as all the pressure of struggling with an acting challenge and being on the show in general seemed to hit her all at once.
* MyNaymeIs: It's not Jayden, it's 'Jaidynn'.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: In honor of her love of fashion, she took part of her name from world renown designer, Christian Dior. Her last name comes from Music/{{Beyonce}}'s alter-ego Sasha Fierce.
* ShesGotLegs: Even though she's got curves, she's not afraid to wear short skirts that show off ''all'' of her legs.
* TransparentCloset: She admits that she never actually came out to her family, despite the fact that she's a ''drag queen'' and in boy mode is about as CampGay as they come. Though it isn't clear if Jaidynn is ''trying'' to stay closeted to them, or if they're in denial.

----
* AttentionWhore: Certainly thinks she belongs center stage ... although this seems to be more of a facade, as she's admitted in Untucked she's well aware of her weaknesses in acting and performance, and is using the show to expand her horizons.
* CountryMouse: Although quite fabulous now, she grew up on a chicken farm. She gets a chance to talk about it in episode 5, much to her unabashed glee.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her makeup and fashion is always stunning, but her relative lack of experience and inability to do ... well, everything else that the competition requires ultimately resulted in her elimination.
* {{Expy}}: With her stunning looks, flawless makeup, and day job as a makeup artist, she was initially seen as one of Raja. However, as the show progresses, it becomes quite clear that is all she has in common with Raja, as Fame ends up stumbling in well, everything else in the competition.
* TheFashionista: Self-admitted, modeling and runways are what she specializes in.
* GlorySeeker: Took the name "Fame" because that's what she's after, and doesn't hide the fact she considers Drag Race as the next logical step towards her goal.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: For the "Ugliest Dress Ever" runway, she struts the stage in a tent-sized and shapeless dress that ''should'' have been ugly, but she styles and accessorized it flawlessly (her strong-suit) so it came off as beautiful to the judges. Later, when up for elimination the giant dress made dancing all but impossible, practically handing her opponent a "chanté, you stay".
* InelegantBlubbering: Following an emotional video message from Ginger Minj's husband in the episode 5 Untucked, she has an unexpected breakdown due to feeling such deep sympathy for Ginger. She even admits [[ImCryingButIDontKnowWhy that she has no idea why she is crying so much during]].
* MotorMouth: Likes to talk and talk and talk...see the RunningGag below.
* NonAnswer: We get this exchange after [=RuPaul=] asks if Miss Fame has any acting experience ...
-->'''Miss Fame''': "Not yet. I mean I’ve had some opportunities that could be considered like an entryway to acting but not to the degree that I’d like to see my future evolve into."
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny What you just described was a CraigsList ad]]."
* ParentalAbandonment: Says that her mother was too interested in doing drugs to raise her, so she was instead raised by her loving grandparents.
** DisappearedDad: Her biological father was apparently not a factor in her life, and also recounts that her grandfather (who raised her) was murdered when she was only 15 years old.
* PhraseCatcher: "So how ''is'' your head?" with Miss Fame ultimately missing the joke (until Episode 8, that is)
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Trixie Mattel, although with the two enjoying hugging and cuddling so much some of the other queens have pointed out their closeness is reaching UnresolvedSexualTension territory.
* RunningGag: Twice she has missed a "How's your head?" joke from Ru--the first being an oral sex joke, and the second referring to the ''giant knife in her head'' in her "Death Becomes Her" runway look. Instead she took the question literally and blabbed on about her feelings and focus.
** Also, her running her mouth, as Miss Fame just ''loves'' to talk ... and talk, and talk, and ''talk''! It finally comes to a head in episode 8, where Ru finally tells her she needs to shut up and listen.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: In two challenges in which she did admirably but missed the win she's expressed annoyance that she's "just safe" when she feels she's "stronger than safe". Some fans have even started likening her to first season's Shannel in her 'I should have won'-attitude.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Was warned by the judges that by the second episode they already know she can serve model beauty, but now want to see if she has what it takes to perform and entertain as well. As a side note, at episode two she is the earliest queen to receive the 'stop relying on that body' critique ever.
* {{Squick}}: In-universe, she was absolutely ''repulsed'' by Jasmine Master's comment about Jaidynn's bunions, how she needs to "pop those corns to feed the children".
* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: ''Miss'' Fame. Double-subverted in that she's married, and therefore is a "Mrs." not a "Miss", and that for the most part the other queens just call her "[[OnlyOneName Fame]]" instead of using her full name.

----
* BreakTheHaughty: During the ''Prancing Queens'' Untucked she is quite sure she's a shoe-in for the win, while agreeing everyone else (especially her dancing partner) needs to be ready in case they need to lip-synch. Then Ru tells them they are going to be judges in pairs, and ''then'' Trixie gets eliminated by her dancing partner.
* GracefulLoser: After her elimination she takes full responsibility that it was her own fault for being in the bottom 2, and takes solace in the fact her leaving at the very least means her friend Pearl can remain on the show. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] for her second elimination, which she completely blamed on Ginger.
* InformedAttribute: Her {{Camp}} comedy ended up being this, the judges saying that although Trixie says she's camp and dresses like she's camp, she just wasn't all that campy ''or'' funny during her time on the show.
* InsultBackfire: The name Trixie was a nickname from her abusive step-dad whenever she would act too sensitive or too feminine as a child.
* {{Irony}}: The first time she gets eliminated it is because she wasn't delivering enough {{Camp}} comedy in the challenge, the second time she gets eliminated it is because she was delivering ''too much'' camp comedy in the challenge.
* JackOfAllStats: Ends up being her downfall, in that she tried so hard to not suffer CripplingOverspecialization for her {{Camp}} comedy that in the end she doesn't bring the funny, even for the comedy challenges.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: When she's brought back into the competition, pretty much every other queens admits that they didn't want ''anybody'' to come back, but if it had to be someone, they are glad it was Trixie.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: [=RuPaul=] gives the eliminated queens a chance to rejoin the competition, leading to her and Pearl teaming up and winning the main challenge, allowing her to redeem herself.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Mattel, Inc., the toy company that makes the ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}'' doll.
* NeverMyFault: For her second elimination, she claims outright it was the fault of her dancing partner, Ginger Minj, and that she shouldn't have been sent home.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Her audition tape was one of the funnest of ''all seven seasons'' according to Ru ... this just made the fact she gets herself eliminated for being unable to be funny during a comedy challenge that more tragic, though.
* OhCrap: This was her reaction (clarified afterwards) during the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge when Ru informs the queens they are going to be judges as pairs. Trixie felt her performance alone was win-worthy, but knew paired with Ginger she was probably going to have to lip-synch.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Feels this way when she is paired off with Ginger Minj, that although she's trying her hardest she cannot compete with Ginger's raw energy and charisma.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: Trixie's boyfriend's parents apparently loved her dating their son ... until they discovered she was a drag queen.
-->"His mom said, 'Trixie’s clown drag makes me sick to my stomach.'"
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Miss Fame, although a few of the queens accuse the two of [[UnresolvedSexualTension being closer than that]], Trixie says she simply connects with Miss Fame better than any Drag Queen she's ever known from the clubs.
* ShesBack: Pearl brings her back into the competition after the two team up and win the main challenge. Too bad she only lasted one more episode before getting sent home again.
* ShrinkingViolet: As the other queens note, she has a big personality and lots of energy in the workroom, but once Trixie gets to the challenge proper all of that exuberance seems to disappear.
* UncannyValleyMakeUp: As evidenced by her above quote, she purposely invokes this trope.
!Katya
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/katya_4887.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Brian [=McCook=]
->"Katya is at the intersection of glamour and comedy ... and you can find her right on the corner selling her ass."
----
* BiTheWay: Katya as a character. (Brian is gay.)
* BilingualBonus: Entered the competition speaking Russian, and during her first ConfessionCam the producers were kind enough to display her full drag name in Russian letters.
-->"Давай cезон семь!" [[note]]translation: Come on season 7![[/note]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her ConfessionCam clips can at times be a real thing to behold.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Describes herself as just your average, run-of-the-mill Russian, [[TheOldestProfession prostitute]], bisexual, transvestite [[TheOldestProfession hooker]].
* GenreBusting
* IdenticalStranger: Quite a few fans have pointed out that Katya looks a lot like Willam.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Her character.
* LargeHam: In the confessionals Katya says everything as if it's a matter of life or death and there is no middle ground with her.
** IncomingHam: Is the most likely to enter the workroom doing some sort of SillyWalk, either scuttling like a crab or being wheelbarrowed by Ginger Minj.
* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Her entirely made-up-on-the-spot outfit explanations tended to go in... unexpected directions. The description of her sparkly reunion outfit cape takes the cake:
--> A retired Russian hooker... moves to Mexico city... to start a... ''Series/TwinPeaks'' {{cosplay}}ing knitting circle...
* MrViceGuy: Suffers from several crippling addictions, from alcohol to meth, although she's clean and sober now. Ru even calls her out that she seems to be addicted to ''anxiety'', which Katya soon realizes might actually be the case.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Her full drag name is Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova, named after Russian Olympic gymnasts Yekaterina Lobaznyuk, Yevgeniya Petrovna Kuznetsova, and Elena Zamolodchikova.
* NiceGirl: Season seven's ''Miss Congeniality''.
* OverlyLongName: Just call her [[OnlyOneName Katya]], because "Yekaterina Petrovna Zamolodchikova" is a bit of a mouthful.
* SensualSlavs: The entire basis of her drag character, in reality she's from Boston. Seriously downplayed during the season, as Katya is terrified of doing her Russian routine for the show and failing (despite it being her specialty).
!Kennedy Davenport
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kdavenport_4101.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Reuben Asberry, Jr.
->"I spin, I kick, I flip, I jump off the stage in six inch heels. That's what puts the diva in it."
----
* CatchPhrase: "The struggle is real" and "next", as well as some variation of "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She's normally pretty straightforward, but her "Death Becomes Her" runway look--and the backstory behind it--is perhaps the most bizarre outfit in ''Drag Race'' history. And that's saying something.
* DeadpanSnarker
* DisappearedDad: Her father had only recently passed a few years prior to this season. He was also the one who told Kennedy she needed to audition for Drag Race, and after he died she realized it was finally time to do so.
* IconicOutfit: the aforementioned "Death Becomes Her" [[http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s238/petstarr/Drag%20Race/Drag%20Race%207/kfc.jpg runway look]] - for all the wrong reasons
* ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime: As team leader for "[=MacBitch=]" she thought it would be a great idea to have everyone play roles outside of their comfort zones so everyone can show versatility (having Jasmine play valley girl, Violet play ghetto, Pearl as the narrator, etc.). She quickly realized this was a terrible idea and changes some of the cast around, but by then time was lost and the damage was done, causing her to end up in the bottom 2 for that challenge.
* JerkassHasAPoint: During the penultimate episode after Pearl and Violet are hurt after Kennedy and Ginger talk down about them as to why they shouldn't be the Next Drag Superstar, Kennedy very pointedly reminds them that not only did Ru ask them ''directly'' why their competitors shouldn't win, but Ru has done so every season, so they should of known it was coming. On top of that, Kennedy also notes whatever she and Ginger had said they had said to the girls' faces before, so it wasn't like their reads came out of no where.
* PhraseCatcher: Also doubles as a CallBack with "[=LaGuardia=] ... Newark ... Kennedy!" (the three international airports in the New York City area)
* PromotedToParent: During her lunch with Ru, she talks about as a child she had to take care of her severely retarded sister. She also reveals since their father had recently passed away, she was having to do it again.
* RecursiveCrossdressing: Her Little Richard impersonation for "Snatch Game." While some contestants (including two this season) have impersonated other drag queens, this was the first time someone straight-up portrayed a man. However, Little Richard's campy style and mannerisms were a natural fit and Kennedy stole the show and won the challenge (along with Ginger's Adele). Even Michelle--who makes it no secret that she hates boy drag--praised her for it.
* SouthernBelle: The "Dancing Diva of Dallas".
* SpiritedCompetitor: Most evident during the "Conjoined Queens" challenge, when given the chance to pair the queens up, and therefore form mismatched pairs to screw her competitors over, she went out of her way to pair the queens up with someone as aesthetically similar as possible. The only exception to this was Jaidynn and Tempest, although Kennedy said afterwards although they were an odd couple, they both said they had a lot of costume making experience to even out their disjointed looks. Kennedy claimed if she won this challenge she wanted to it with everyone at their best, and not because she put them at a disadvantage.
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: During her speech to explain why she should win, she claimed to "condone" herself in a professional manner and that the two younger queens don't "condone" themselves that way. She meant to say "conduct". It goes unmentioned in the show, but viewers had a field day with it.
!Pearl
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pearldq_4773.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Matt James
->"I describe Pearl as a kind of robotic [[Literature/TheStepfordWives Stepford wife]] bitch."
----
* BookDumb: Has never heard of Theatre/{{Macbeth}} before, although she says outright she doesn't care if that makes her come off as young and illiterate.
* CatchPhrase: "Flazéda." Nobody (including Pearl apparently) was sure if she was trying to say "la-dee-da", "laissez-faire", "[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim fus ro dah]]", or what. It became something of a RunningGag since then.
** [[https://xyrena.com/product/flazedaedp/ Now available as a perfume!]]
* DeadpanSnarker
* EmotionlessGirl: Can come across this way, with the judges saying outright she acts like she's always on Valium or Lithium or something similar.
** DefrostingTheIceQueen: In episode 4, when she has to lip sync against one of her best friends, in Trixie Mattel. Upon being declared the winner, she bursts into tears and hugs Trixie before she leaves. She also admits on ''Untucked'' that she feels that Trixie deserves to stay more than she does.
* InSeriesNickname: The other queens dub her stiff dancing style as "[[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk PEARL SMASH!]]"
* InformedAttribute: When music producer Lucian Piane asks her how she would describe her stage performances and she replies that they are "Wild"... which is not really a word one would use to describe Pearl's overly chill, borderline-sleepwalking demeanor.
* ManlyGay: As with MKD, has a very masculine face, making her transformation into a queen all the more impressive.
* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe when Pearl had a minor breakdown and almost quit the competition, several queens afterwards keep referring to Pearl as the queen who "doesn't want to be there". It finally reaches a head in Untucked when Pearl has to explain that although she ''did'' have a moment where she wanted to leave (for about an hour), she came back, won that episode's challenge, and has been fighting to stay ever since. Gets brought up again by Ginger Minj in the penultimate episode, which completely pisses Pearl off.
* NoSocialSkills: According to the other girls she comes off as very cold and over it... although they admit they might just be misreading her style.
* OnlyOneName: Her full drag name is Pearl Liaison, but she only used the first part on the show.
* {{Sleepyhead}}: Her most common criticism is that she has "sleepy eyes" and that she seems to be "sleepwalking" through the competition. By the third episode Ru has had enough of the sleepy act and gives Pearl an ultimatum:
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "Wake. Up. Pearl! Wake up!"
* SmallNameBigEgo: Admits that back home everyone always tells her how fabulous and wild she is, and so she just assumed when she got to the show the judges would be obsessed with her ... which ended up not happening.
* TheStoic: Her drag character, although she also claims to suffer from social anxiety which only adds to her stoicism.
* TheStoner: Probably averted, but Michelle Visage asks her point blank if she's a stoner since she always seems so chill and low energy.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: While her dancing during the Prancing with the Queens challenged was called stiff (which worked for the Charleston half, not so much for the twerking half), she was praised for showing great energy.
* UncannyValleyMakeup: Was read by the other girls for painting herself to have a "bitch face" and "sleepy eyes".
* VocalDissonance: Has quite the masculine drawl, even while in drag. During her introduction she even greeted the other queens with a very mannish "'Sup?"
** UpToEleven: Dropped her voice ''even deeper'' for the Shakespearean challenge ... to which Ru and Michelle very quickly tell her was a ''very'' bad idea.
* WhatTheHellHero: Several queens were perturbed she claimed to be "over it" about the show and the judges criticizing her, since there are hundreds of queens who would give anything to be a part of ''Drag Race'' (Mrs. Kasha Davis in particular was upset she was eliminated when Pearl doesn't even seem to want to be there anymore).
!Ginger Minj
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gingerm_3072.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Joshua Eads-Brown
->"I am an overweight, asthmatic, chain-smoking, cross-dresser from Orlando, Florida. I like to describe myself as a [[SelfDeprecation glamour toad]]."
----
* BaitAndSwitch: "I've done Shakespeare plenty... and he liked it every time"
* BearsAreBadNews: In what's perhaps the first time the show has referenced ''real'' bears, for Ginger's "Death Becomes Her" runway look, she's being eaten by a grizzly.
* BigBeautifulWoman
* BigEater: Her Adele impersonation for "Snatch Game." It's interesting to note that nobody called her on having the same schtick as Latrice Royale in Season 4, though Ginger likely got a pass for doing her celeb justice.
* BigFun: Knows how to land a joke or hilarious one-liner, whether it's reading one of the other queens or making a [[SelfDeprecation jab at her own expense]].
* CatchPhrase: "I just about flooded my basement!" her most common retort if there's a sexy man or men in the room.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Says that her life was miserable before she met her [[HappilyMarried husband]], who was the first person in her life to ever make her feel beautiful and talented.
* IAmNotPretty: Although she has no problem delivering camp glamour, she always has trouble when asked to delivery actual beauty, since Ginger feels she's not attractive at all. It really reaches a head in the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge which not only forced her to dance, but to dress up half as a beautiful woman and half as a handsome man. She says outright it was her worst nightmare realized since when she dances she feels everyone is judging how she looks and the way her body jiggles.
* ICantDance: Although it didn't stop her from winning the ''Glamazonian Airways'' lip-synch and dancing challenge, it does hold her back in the ''Prancing Queens'' challenge.
* InSeriesNickname: Ginger likes to refer to herself, along with Mrs. Kasha Davis, Kennedy Davenport, and Jasmine Masters (and later, Katya), as the "Bitter Old Lady Brigade".
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Of a sort, when a challenge calls for acting or comedy, she is cocky and confident, but when it's something outside of her comfort zone, like dancing, beauty, or sewing, she seems to shut down and gets ready to pack her bags to go home.
* MathematiciansAnswer: One of her responses as {{Music/Adele}} in Snatch Game takes this form:
-->'''[=RuPaul=]''': "Where in England are you from?"
-->'''"Adele"''': "My house"
* MeaningfulName: Her name literally means "Red Vagina" in British slang.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Ginger Minj claimed to be both a terrible dancer and seamstress and multiple points during the show, and indeed her two trips to the bottom two came on a dancing and a sewing challenge. However, out of drag she has had a very successful stage career [[http://www.stageclick.com/person/10774.aspx with multiple credits for costume design and choreography]], leading many fans to conclude it was an act.
* OhCrap: Her reaction after poking fun at the "failure" of ''[[Series/RuPaulsDragU RuPaul's Drag U]]'', and Ru very pointedly informed her that ''Drag U'' was actually her favorite job ever, and that [[SeriousBusiness it changed people's lives]].
* RunningGag: Apparently when not on-camera she likes to mention she lives just 10 minutes from Gatorland ... a lot, according to the other queens.
* SadClown: During her lunch with Ru she admits that SelfDeprecation and telling jokes was how she got through the tough times in her life. She even says that life is just a giant parade of assholes, and the only way to survive is to make yourself the parade grand marshal!
* SelfDeprecation: A self-described "[[UglyCute Glamour Toad]]".
* StealingTheCredit: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] as she expresses frustration that in team challenges she's quick to offer her comedic expertise to her teammates and ''they'' win the challenges. She points out if she wants any chance at the top three she has to stop being so nice and focus more on herself. This leads to...
* TookALevelInJerkass: Although she styled herself as a self-deprecating "bitter old lady", her attacks on the younger queens were limited only to Untucked at first, before ending up on the main show itself.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Despite being the de facto leader of the "Bitter Old Lady Brigade", she's actually only 29 years old (not even old by normal Drag Race standards).
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has an irrational fear of being attacked by sharks.
!Violet Chachki
[[quoteright:200:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vchachki_8283.png]]
->'''Real Name''': Jason Dardo
->"My biggest strength is probably aesthetics. I'm very visually appealing ... Is that conceited?"
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Has been picked last for nearly every team challenge, the other queens saying outright she just has a bad energy about her that makes them want to not work with her, despite knowing she's talented. She pulls herself out of this trope's grasp later in the season as she TookALevelInKindness.
* BrutalHonesty: When called out on her "mean streak" in Untucked she claims it's really not intentional, she's just honest about her opinions regardless of who she may end up offending.
* CantTakeCriticism: Claims outright to hate Michelle Visage because she doesn't agree with Michelle's harsh critiques. Despite the fact that Violet ''won'' the challenge in question, she was still bent out of shape over the one negative critique she received. Ginger Minj is quick to point out that it's Michelle's ''job'' to be a judge, and Violet is being overly sensitive.
* CatchPhrase: "Come through!"
* {{Expy}}: Her ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' character was pretty much literally herself imagined as Hello Kitty, she even named her character "Lavender Trinket".
* TheFashionista: Her runways were always impeccable, fashion and silhouettes being one of her strongest attributes.
* HiddenDepths: During the ''Glamazonian Airways'' challenge, Michelle Visage said although Violet puts up a beautiful and poised front, she can see there's a clown hidden in there, which she hopes Violet will bring out to the surface more often.
** Also, when Miss Fame has a minor breakdown remembering the murder of her grandfather, it's Violet (and Trixie) who hug and comfort her.
* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Claims she came on the show to impress the judges, not to make friends with her competitors. However, she points out this attitude made things a lot harder on herself since it meant she often felt isolated while the other queens all had each other to lean on when they felt down or nervous.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: Like to gloat that she has the smallest waist in Drag Race herstory. For her "Death Becomes Her" look, she struts the runway with [[UpToEleven a waist so cinched]] she actually walks the stage with an ''oxygen tank'' ...see for yourself [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B8hsemcCMAEk7us.jpg here]]. According to her, it's eighteen inches -- less than half her shoulder width.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As the season progressed she went from being a {{Jerkass}} to this. During the season recap episode, Alaska even calls her a "bitch with a heart of gold".
* JerkassHasAPoint: Even the other queens will admit Violet ''does'' make a good point every so often, it's just the fact she's so prone to complaining when things don't go her way, or constantly giving her "stinkface" that the other queens tend to ignore what she has to say.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Was called out as such by Michelle Visage during the nude-illusion runway for not using any breasts, but [[AvertedTrope averted]] by the rest of the judges, who pointed out she looked like a high fashion model, who are known for being quite slender with typically ''very'' small breasts).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Took the name Violet after Creator/JenniferTilly's character from ''{{Film/Bound}}''.
* NonAnswer: In response to Trixie on whether she was a dancer, she replies "I’m not ''not'' a dancer, but I’m not a dancer" ... Trixie immediately calls Violet out for dodging the question.
* TookALevelInKindness: Has made a honest effort to not be such a bitch, going as far as to explain outright when she is trying to give a compliment so people don't think she's reading them. When Mrs. Kasha Davis comes back for the "Conjoined Twins" challenge, she says she can see a huge change in Violet's demeanor.
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: Chachki comes from the yiddish word for a knicknack or bauble.
* YoungAndInCharge: Won season seven, despite being only 22 years old (the second youngest winner in Drag Race history, after 21-year-old Tyra Sanchez from season two).
