"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 it was "not established for the purpose of war" but for "solidifying 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].
