Aura Eternal Visage, formerly known as Aura Eternal, is an Italian drag performer and singer and one of the contestants of the second season of Drag Race Italia. In 2023, she was announced as one of the contestants of the second season of Queen of the Universe.
Drag Name Origin[]
Her name is inspired by Aura, a type of energy from the anime Dragon Ball, of which she is a fan, while she chose Eternal as last name because she does not want to be forgotten.[5][6] She later added Visage on her name as "a sign of love, respect, and recognition" for Michelle Visage.[7]
