==Appearance and Personality==
==Appearance and Personality==
As a young girl, Bianca wore her blonde hair in two braided pigtails with purple hairbands and she wears a long myrtle green cape over an orange dress. She has blue eyes. Bianca also wears silver bracelets, a belt with a silver buckle around her waist, dangling pink earrings, and black shoes with myrtle green socks. As an adult, Bianca wears her hair in a single braid with a silver hairband on the right side of her face and a myrtle green dress with an orange cloak attached. She still wears the same earrings and bracelets she did as a child, as well as a black belt with a silver buckle around her waist, a silver choker, and black leather boots worn with myrtle green stockings held up by string. Bianca is known as a great beauty, and many of the men in Stockenbarrel and Mostroferrato comment on her attractiveness.

Like most other characters, her appearance in ''Heroes'' has been embellished slightly. Bianca now wears brown, knee-high leather boots held up with myrtle green ribbons at the top and black thigh-high stockings. Her belt is now yellow with black triangular designs all around it. Bianca's dress and cloak are embroidered with silver and gold designs respectively and her choker is now gold with small green gems decorating it.

Bianca is something of a tomboy as a child and she has a strong sense of justice, demonstrated when she deals with the bullies in Roundbeck. She has a love of the outdoors and enjoys going on adventures with The Hero, even when the two grow up. In the ten years that pass between their encounters, Bianca has become strong and independent, having to deal with the loss of her mother and her father's sickness. She is known for her good heart and is beloved by the people of Stockenbarrel. She is humble as well, putting the happiness of The Hero before herself when faced with the difficult prospect of choosing a bride and wishes happiness for him at his wedding if he marries either Nera or Debora.

[[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|The Hero]] and [[Pankraz|his father]] first meet Bianca Whitaker as a child in [[Whealbrook]]. She and her mother are in town getting medicine for her father. After the herb-maker is found in a cave, Pankraz escorts them back to their home in [[Roundbeck]].

Pankraz is thinking of returning, but agrees to stay the night and catches a cold, and the party is unable to leave. While wandering around town with The Hero, they meet two kids who are bullying a sabrecat cub. After some discussion, they agree to give up the cat if they can defeat the ghosts at [[Uptaten Towers]]. This quest is successful, and she names the sabercat, also giving it a [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|ribbon]].

While wandering around town with The {{Hero 5}}, they meet two kids who are bullying a [[Saber|sabrecat cub]]. After some discussion, they agree to give up the cat if they can defeat the ghosts at [[Uptaten Towers]]. This quest is successful, and she names the [[Saber|sabercat]], also giving it a [[Bianca's clothing#Bianca's ribbon|ribbon]].


Bianca is not seen again until much later after the first timeskip. While searching for the [[Circle of Water]] as part of [[Rodrigo Briscoletti|Mr. Briscoletti's]] tasks, The Hero stops in [[Stockenbarrel]] where he meets up with Bianca again. She unlocks a gate blocking the path to the [[Cataract Caves]] where the ring is stored, and accompanies him back to the town of [[Mostroferrato]]. Mr. Briscoletti asks him to choose whether he'll marry Bianca or his daughter Nera (or his other daughter Debora, in the [[Nintendo DS]] remake). If the player chose Bianca, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The Hero's wife.

If the player chose Bianca, the two marry and she will continue to travel with you as The {{Hero 5}}'s [[Heavenly Bride|wife]].


Upon reaching The Hero's homeland, the kingdom of [[Gotha]], it is revealed that Bianca is pregnant and she will stay in the castle to rest until it is time. After he returns from the [[Riteof Passage]], she gives birth to twins: [[Hero's Son (Dragon Quest V)|a boy]] and [[Hero's Daughter (Dragon Quest V)|a girl]]. The Hero is coronated as the new King of Gotha. After a night of celebrations, Bianca is abducted by monsters while most of the castle inhabitants were passed out. While attempting to rescue her from [[Kon the Knight]] at his [[Knightmare Towers|tower]], it is learned that she has the blood of The Legendary Hero - and for this reason she and her husband are turned to stone by Bishop [[Ladja]].

In the eight years that pass, Bianca's petrified form ended up at the temple of [[Crocodilopolis]]. The Hero and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The Hero's mother, Madeline, and defeat the [[Nimzo|Grandmaster of the Underworld]].

If the player does not marry Bianca, she will return to Stockenbarrel and remain there throughout the game with her father, (whose health will recover regardless of who The Hero marries). She will not marry, but apparently has admirers and will not meet an unhappy fate in any version of the game, contrary to Internet rumors that said her father would die and she would end up as a mistreated, sad bar maid in Mostroferrato.

Bianca can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Her armor selection includes lightweight tunics, robes, and female-exclusive equipment, but her choice in shields is limited. Unlike the other brides, she can wear the [[Metal king helm]].
Bianca can equip most knives, whips, and staves. Her armor selection includes lightweight tunics, robes, and female-exclusive equipment, but her choice in shields is limited. Unlike the other brides, she can wear the [[Metal king helm]].


Since Bianca is briefly a party member during the first generation, she starts out at level 1 and learns early magic spells, so unlike the other brides, she has a full selection of fire magic. In the Super Famicom version, when she rejoins at Stockenbarrel, she will automatically be leveled to level 10. In the [[Sony PlayStation#PlayStation 2|PS2]] version, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 2. In the DS and [[Cell phone]] versions, her level will be the level she was as a child plus 10.

Bianca has a similar spell list to Nera, but she has fewer spells overall since she lacks [[Midheal]], [[Kaboom]] and [[Tick-tock]]. She does possess the lowest level versions of Frizz and Sizz, which Nera lacks... but Nera has their higher level variants which outclass them in every way (aside from spell cost). Ultimately, Bianca is a decent mage but her advantages over Nera lie elsewhere, such as starting at a higher level, having slightly better physical strength, and being able to equip Metal King Helm, which Nera cannot.

In contrast, she is overall a superior mage to Debora, possessing all but one of Debora's spells ([[Whack]]), and a few that Debora does not (most notably, the Frizz line of spells).

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Luminary]] can visit the Briscoletti mansion on the eve of the wedding via the [[Echo Chamber]] in the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Due to the actions of a [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] sealed away by the Briscoletti ancestor Rodolfo, Bianca has been turned into an exact duplicate of Rodrigo on the eve of her wedding day. Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the monster has been located in [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest VI)|Alltrades Abbey]].

Thankfully, the groom is still away from the mansion and the [[Pilferpithecus|monster]] has been located in {{Alltrades Abbey 6}}.  


Bianca is very worried about how her father might handle her sudden transformation, fretting about how poor his health is already and that he doesn't need a major shock such as this. Once the transformation has been undone, she expresses her gratitude to the Luminary. She also mentions that he reminds her of the potential groom, and reminisces about their adventure in Uptaten towers.

Bianca also plays a role in the sabrecat incident at [[Chateau Felix]], loaning her ribbon out to tame Saber once again. She will be happy to have been of help, and glad that her childhood pet has returned.

Bianca is one of the thirteen playable characters in the first game. She and [[Nera Briscoletti]] have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Bianca uses [[bows]] as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both [[Frizz]] and [[Snooze]] in battle. Her [[Coup de Grâce]] is Ribbon Let Die, where she uses her ribbon to summon her trusty great sabrecat companion, here named Purrcy, who rushes out and strikes any enemies in front of her. Bianca can also be played in co-op dungeons in ''Heroes II'', but cannot be used in the regular story mode.

She and [[Nera Briscoletti]] have been mysteriously transported to the land of Arba in the Dwarven settlement of Grannet on the night before one of them is about to get married. In order to differentiate her from other playable characters, Bianca uses {{Bow}}s as her weapon of choice in the game, and can cast both [[Frizz]] and [[Snooze]] in battle. Her [[Coup de Grâce]] is Ribbon Let Die, where she uses her ribbon to summon her trusty great sabrecat companion, here named Purrcy, who rushes out and strikes any enemies in front of her. Bianca can also be played in co-op dungeons in {{Heroes 2}}, but cannot be used in the regular story mode.

Bianca appears as a side character in the second part of the ''Dragon Quest V'' story event. If players choose to adventure with her, she will accompany the party in the Dragon Quest V quests, occasionally finding additional loot, and she will also appear in the multiplayer lobby, if the host chose her. Choosing her also gives players the option to obtain equipment based on her, as well as blonde wigs based on [[Parry]] and [[Madchen]]; and the option to dress Bianca up with any armor the player has -as long as it's equippable by female characters.
