'''Bianca Whitaker''' (ビアンカ, ''Bianka'') is a character in {{DQ5}}. She is a childhood friend of the {{Hero 5}} and one of his possible brides.

She has been a regular participant in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Itadaki Street]]'' series, appears as a special guest in {{Dragon Quest IX}}, and is one of the thirteen original playable characters in {{DQH}}. Bianca also appears as a special Hero character in {{DQTact}} alongside {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}.

==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 5}}, 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 5}} 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}}.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
The {{Hero 5}} 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 5}} is unable to leave. 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 5}} 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 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 5}} 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 5}} and the children are able to finally free her, who rejoins the party. Together, they travel to [[Nadiria]] to find The {{Hero 5}}'s mother, [[Madalena]], 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 5}} 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]].

====Stats====
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 5}} 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 {{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.

|} 

====Spells====
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). She is, however, a weaker physical fighter than {{Debora}} and cannot equip certain weapons that {{Debora}} can.

Bianca appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, Bianca gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.
*Bianca's clothes - Received when talking to her.
*Bianca's bracelets - Received after the inn is fully expanded.
*Bianca's braid - Received when it is the player's birthday.
*Bianca's boots - Received when the Hero is a [[Mage]].
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Best Friend Bride''' when having acquired all pieces of her outfit.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{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 [[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.

===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===
She is one of the three characters from {{V}} featured, alongside [[Nera Briscoletti]] and the {{Hero 5}}.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory]]''===
Bianca can be summoned to perform a special attack. After leaping from the wagon, she jumps on [[Saber]]'s back and uses the power of the [[Circle of Fire]] to trigger a volcanic eruption to attack the enemy party.

==={{DQH}}===
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 {{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 appears in Dragon Quest Heroes II as a recurring character that can be played as in co-op dungeons, but is unable to be used in the regular story mode. Her moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, and was partially repurposed for [[Angelo]]. Additionally she is unable to equip any new weapons, being locked to the Emerald bow, though she can still equip Orbs and accessories.

===''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]''===
Bianca appears as a character in the stage production played by actress [[Maho Tomita]].

==={{DQRivals}}===
She was featured in several cards, player icons, and card sleeves in both her child and adult forms. Bianca first appeared as a legendary rare card in the second card pack, "Roar of Unleashed Power" and was eventually reprinted in the 8th card pack under the name "Bianca, the Heavenly Bride". Most notably, Bianca won the second card popularity vote with players and received a special illustration depicting her in her wedding dress.

==={{DQYS}}===
Bianca appears as one of the main characters in the film.

==={{DQStars}}===
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.

In the last {{Dragon Quest V}} event rerun before the Global version closed down, players could obtain Bianca's earrings, and a cosmetic orange ribbon based on the one she gave to [[Saber]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Bianca appears as a S-rank character of the [[Hero family]] as part of the limited {{Dragon Quest V}} event, appearing on her own banner alongside [[Snowbird]]. The player can choose to have her join as a companion in the [[Circle of Water]] event quest. She also appears as a boss in the special Zenithian Brides boss battle with {{Nera}} and {{Debora}}. Bianca could also be scouted by the player by redeeming their Dark Lord/Hero Meeting Ticket S.

==Quotes==
'''[[Knightmare Towers]]'''
:''"'<player>! I knew you'd come. But maybe it would've bin better if you hadn't. The reason them monsters used the Chancellor to snatch me away was so they could lure you into a trap. The ringleader says he's goin' to kill you and then become king in your place! Agh!"''
:''"'Stop! Stop right there, Kon!"''
:''"'Go on, <player>! Now!"''

==Etymology==
Bianca is the Italian form of the name Blanche, which means "white, pure", contrasting her with {{Nera}}, whose name means black in Italian.

==Trivia==
*In {{V}} and {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, Bianca speaks with a Cornish accent.
*[[Jessica Albert]] compliments Bianca's {{Bow}} arm in {{Heroes}} and states that she'd probably be good with a {{Whip}}, too, referencing the fact that she can equip whips in her original game and the developers were initially considering her whips as a weapon.
