Lychee 

Lychee! (he/they) Growing up loudly queer in the Wolfville theatre scene, it’s no surprise that drag is their trajectory. Campy, trans, retro extraterrestrial Lychee is quickly making themselves known in the drag scene! The biggest nerd you’ll ever meet with cosplay influencing every look and musical theatre dance moves >:)
