Rita von Hunty is a persona of Guilherme. It was created to break stereotypes about drag queens, such as being a caricature of the feminine or superficial. Her name comes from Rita Hayworth, famous American actress of the 1940s. "Hunty" is a slang term from the drag community to show affection or care and "von" refers to royalty.
