Arrietty (drag queen)

Career

Arrietty the Elf, the drag persona of Luviano, appeared on the seventeenth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. After landing in the bottom two on episode five, she survived elimination. She secured a main challenge win on episode six. For the Snatch Game on episode seven, she performed as Baby Cupid, and in the eighth episode's Rusical, she took on the role of the Scarecrow.

Her run ended on episode ten, a stand-up comedy roast of past contestants, where she took jokes from Jewels Sparkles without permission. Following her elimination, she left a hateful message directed at Onya Nurve, earning her the season's villain label. She later apologized to Onya Nurve during episode fifteen, when she returned for a lip-sync tournament before the finale. While the show aired, her Instagram following increased by 476 percent.

In Seattle, Arrietty regularly performs at Queer Bar in Capitol Hill and Dreamland in Fremont. She also shared a 2025 show with fellow Drag Race contestant Acacia Forgot at White Center's Lumber Yard Bar. Before doing drag full-time, Luviano worked as a dishwasher and a Target retail employee.
