drag mother

An established drag queen who mentors a new queen, her “daughter,” on how to get started or introduces her to drag.

A drag performer engages in live theatrical performance as a member of the opposite gender ("drag king" if female-to-male, "drag queen" if male-to-female). Their sex and gender presentation is usually exaggerated to comic effect.
It is not uncommon for a drag performer to choose a stage name so that the last name matches that of a mentor. For instance, if "Amanda Fox" were mentor to "Britney" who in turn was mentor to "Charlotte", naming them as a "house", "family" or "lineage" would pass part of drag mother Amanda's name on to the others as "Britney Fox" and "Charlotte Fox".
