"Queen of the Foxes", founder-figure of Kingdom Foxes and author of the Valkyrie alliance's founding thread in September 2015. She disbanded the guild on 2 July 2016 and returned to its throne on 7 February 2017 after a revival she had proposed.
LoveLusting led Kingdom Foxes (then "Kingdom of Foxes") in the guild's early years, posting on the forums under the title "Queen of the Foxes"[1]. She created the guild on 2 June 2014, six months before guilds existed as a game mechanic, and registered it in game on 22 December 2014[2]. Drew1011 calls her "Ari", and her name inside the guild's lore was Arianna Foxton; her Discord display name was "Miss Arianna"[3].
Valkyrie
On 10 September 2015 she authored the founding thread of the Valkyrie alliance, announcing an alliance formed on 2 June 2015 between Kingdom of Foxes and Imperial[4]. The thread stated the alliance was "not established for the purpose of war" but created "with the aim of solidifying and maintaining the already very good social relations between the two guilds", and described its governing body, the "Valkyrie Electorate": the member guilds' leaders deciding foreign affairs and policy by "unanimous agreement in their decision-making process"[5]. Yuno F Gasai of Imperial was the other figure named in the thread[6]. The thread itself names no individual founder. Drew1011, who joined the alliance in March 2016, described it as having "no true leader" with LoveLusting as its "unofficial leader"[7], and says it was she who proposed that the other guild leaders ask Yuno F Gasai to stand down in the autumn of 2016 — a claim by the person who took the alliance as a result[8].
The disbandment and revival of Kingdom Foxes
LoveLusting disbanded Kingdom Foxes on 2 July 2016[9][10]. The cause was never recorded: Drew1011 declined to relay it — "I was not part of it and have not heard the story from anyone without massive bias… I do not want to give you guys a story based entirely on biased hearsay, so I won't."[11] The following day the guild's name and tag were re-registered by other players[12], which is why the revival had to take a new name.
She proposed that revival herself on 21 November 2016, in four Discord messages: "drew / marry pyrias / take my crown / reestablish the kingdom" — meant, Drew1011 records, half in jest[13].

The guild was recreated on 24 November 2016 as Foxton Legacy [Eon], named for her lore name, with Misty (Pyrias) as Queen and Drew1011 as King[14]. LoveLusting took the role of designer and handled the guild's art, then quit the revival council early over a decision she disagreed with, having supplied the artwork before leaving[15]. She drew guild art for others in the alliance too: Drew1011's June 2016 Valkyrie leaving message undertakes to remove "the HoL art that Ari so graciously created for us"[16].
After Misty stepped down as Queen on 28 January 2017 and most of the council left with her, Drew1011 asked LoveLusting to return; the exchange in which she agreed is dated 2 February 2017 and ends with her "Transfer of power 8)"[17].

She was restored as Queen on 7 February 2017[18][19]. On her return the guild abolished the State Council of the revival period and reinstated its Parliament, numbering it as the seventeenth in continuation of the pre-disbandment sequence, adopted the motto "Forever or Nothing", and rebuilt the guild Discord from scratch[20].
She was a co-owner of Kingdom Foxes, with Drew1011, by 17 October 2017 — "Kingdom Foxes [ Fox ] - Owner LoveLusting/Drew1011" in the Emperium of Wynn's roster[21] — and in March 2018 she treated an allied guild's attack on Kingdom Foxes' Molten Heights territories as a declaration of war[22]. Her name recurs at the end of the period: Drew1011's "Federation Tribute" of November 2018 closes with a personal acknowledgment of her[23].
