Méndez was born on 1 December 1997 in
Badajoz, in the municipality of
Extremadura in south-west
Spain. She was raised in the small town of
Jerez de los Caballeros. She claims that she experienced discrimination at an early age due to her
sexual orientation and
gender expression. Her favourite television series as a child was
Hannah Montana, the premise of which resonated with her and consequently served as an inspiration for both her drag name and her aesthetic. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper
La Vanguardia, Méndez claimed that there was no connection between herself and the
autonomous community of
Castilla-La Mancha other than a penchant for
manchego cheese, stating that a drag queen's job is to lie in order to create an illusion. Méndez moved to
Madrid at the age of 17 to study Audiovisual Communication. During her first year of studying, she was involved in class film project in which she portrayed a woman, claiming that this was something that she wanted to continue doing. It was also during her early years in Madrid that she experienced drag culture for the first time by watching a drag show hosted by
Supremme de Luxe. == Career ==
