Micro

MicronesiaRain, better known as just Micro is a drag queen and the host of Micro's Drag Race.
==Drag Name Origin==
Micro’s drag name comes from her favorite season of Survivor, Micronesia. Micro’s name came from needing a Reddit username, and was never intentionally chosen to be a drag name. When Micro began competing in ORGs, she was unaware of the concept of creating a new persona, so she chose to just compete as an exaggerated version of herself, keeping her name. When she first joined Discord, people quickly gave her the nickname “Micro”, as opposed to typing out “MicronesiaRain” whenever they communicated with her. This nickname ultimately stuck, and has become the name she primarily goes by now. Micro has competed as MicronesiaRain for a majority of her time as a competitor, but has also competed as Sue Nami, a pageant queen character she created in 2020.
==Trivia==
* On November 17th, 2021, following “Squazie’s Speed Race”, Micro was inspired to create a race that combined the deadlines of speed races with the episodes and storylines from longer formatted ORGs. The auditions went out later that day, and this began the process of the MDR we now know.
* In early 2021, Micro hosted a one off season of a race. It followed a more traditional ORG format, with episodes being posted as the competition went on. This has infamously become known as “The Lost Season”. While there was never an official second season, Micro has stated that she views the current MDR as a reboot of that season.
* Micro’s drag inspiration comes from BeBe Zahara Benet. But in terms of style, she mainly pulls references from ‘90s runway shows, as well as Caribbean carnival costumes.
* Micro is a self proclaimed “whore for rhinestones” and feels that they are simply not optional when it comes to drag.
* Outside of Micro’s Drag Race, Micro works in marketing and advertising.
* Due to the quality of the cast and pre-existing relationships, Micro’s favorite season to produce was All Stars One, followed closely by Season Six. Micro’s initial plan for MDR was to have three seasons, followed by one All Star season. Due to that not providing enough winners for a desired All Winners season, she decided to double the amount of seasons, and produce six regular seasons, as well as two All Star seasons. Although Micro has stated that MDR will be over after All Winners, she plans on hosting holiday specials, as well as themed mini seasons within the MDR Discord server, following a format similar to Fake Drag Race.
* Micro’s favorite look from any MDR runway is Greantee’s “All Natural” look from the tenth episode of Season 6.
* Micro has joked that while she would love AI to write the episodes, she doesn’t know how it works…at all.
* Micro competed in drag ORGs from early 2020 to late 2022. Micro has cited these races as being very influential towards the way she views her own race.
* Micro’s first self drawn judging look on MDR was for the eleventh episode of Season 2. The look came from a drawing series Micro took on where she attempted to redesign Jujubee’s runway looks from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World.
* Micro decided to create all of her judging looks for Micro’s Drag Race Legends after a challenge from Crystal Waterz.
** She’s also stated that this choice was partially due to her already using a majority of the looks available online in previous seasons.
* While the particular seasons have not been specified, Micro has said that certain winner outcomes have been changed at the last minute.
** The most glaring example was in the very first season; Micro flipped between both possible outcomes for the season and did not make the final decision until five minutes before the episode was posted.
* Micro has taken her judging abilities and used them on a variety of other ORGs. She serves as a regular judge on Fake Drag Race, and has been a guest judge for many other competitions.
