Blanc

, also known as , is the Console Patron Unit (CPU) of Lowee and the tritagonist of the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise. She represents Nintendo home consoles which is referenced through her appearance in both forms, her processor units, and some of her dialogue.
Due to the Neptunia series being a game that revolves around different universes and dimensions, there are multiple Blancs throughout the series though all of them retain more or less the same personalities and core aspects regardless of the setting.

====Moshi Megami ga Yome Dattara LoveLove Shichau Kamo Shirenai.====
In the Moshi Megami ga Yome Dattara LoveLove Shichau Kamo Shirenai. drama CD, Blanc has been neglecting her husband in favor of reading books. When she finally takes a break from the book she is reading, she questions her spouse as to what he needs from her. In response, he comments on the lack of skin-ship, or intimacy, in their relationship, which surprises Blanc to an extent, due to being perfectly happy simply reading with him rather than doing other things.
Understanding his concerns, Blanc thinks of a way to solve the issue. She recalls one of the romance novels she read in the past having a similar situation, and decides to allow him to rest his head on her lap, so that the two of them can be physically close while they both carry on with their books. Despite suggesting it, she becomes flustered herself, due to having allowed a guy to do the same before; however, she also believes that it isn't too bad.
As she resumes her book, Blanc eventually notices how her husband is gazing at her face instead of reading his book, and remarks that he's distracting her and making her curious. He replies that looking at her face is more interesting than the book, causing her to become flustered for a second time and tell him that her face isn't for show, and that he should just go to sleep if he's tired of reading.
Blanc tries to read her book again, but is bothered by the way he is moving his head in her lap. She then gets upset, telling him not to get carried away just because she's letting him rest on her lap, before knocking him unconscious. She believes that maybe she overreacted, but then comes to the conclusion that he deserved it. Blanc allows him to rest on her lap, unconscious, as she continues to finally read her book in peace.

== Etymology ==
Blanc/blanche is French for the color white. This can directly relate to her clothes mostly consisting of the color white and her divine name being "White Heart". It should also be noted that while Nintendo consoles tend to vary in color, Blanc's name was originally given to her with the Wii in mind.
==Trivia==
*In the 2011 popularity poll, Blanc placed 7th, just behind IF and beating Vert by 184 points.
**In the 2014 poll about which character was most wanted to be a main character of their own game, Blanc placed 1st.
*In the first Hyperdimension Neptunia game, in one of Blanc's cutscenes, she is holding a book that references the Mario Bros. series.
*Her cap the "Green Dot" is a reference to the 1-Up Mushroom in the Mario series.
*During one of her blog entries in the first game, Blanc hints to enjoying tangerines.
*Originally, instead of her big cap, Blanc was to wear a big hair bow. She can still get this bow as an accessory in the first game.
*Blanc is a big fan of Falcom, and even asks her for an autograph. This may be due to the Falcom games being on Nintendo consoles.
*Ultradimension Blanc/White Heart is said to be the oldest of the CPU in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. This is a reference to Nintendo being the oldest of all gaming companies, with the company being first established in 1889 and their first home console being released in 1983 (or 1985 in the west).
*Blanc is the only one to gain a bust size increase from the transition from normal HDD form to Next HDD.
*At the end of Ultradimension Blanc's sleeves she has big Hanafuda Cards. this is a reference to Nintendo when they first started in 1889 making Hanafuda Cards.
*Blanc's high defensive stats are most likely a reference to the insane durability of Nintendo systems, a durability commonly attributed to a material known in many circles as "Nintendium". Rom and Ram don't share this trait, due to the pair representing the DS handheld consoles, which was more fragile than typical Nintendo hardware.
** Ironically, despite her being the shortest and most petite of the four CPUs, she is the most durable and slowest of the four, while Vert, who is the tallest and bustiest, is the most fragile and fastest.
*Ultra Dimension White Heart's Processor Units reference multiple Nintendo Consoles.
**Her Base White Processor Unit resembles the Famicom, the first Nintendo home console.
**Her Super BW Processor Unit resembles the Super Famicom.
**Her NTD-64 Processor Unit resembles the Nintendo 64. It has an N logo with the same colors the Nintendo 64 logo has. It even has the D-pad, C-buttons, analog stick, and cartridge port from the Nintendo 64 system and controller.
**Her G-Cube Processor Unit resembles the Nintendo GameCube. It has 2 GameCube-looking controllers, complete with face buttons, analog sticks, yellow C-Sticks, and start buttons. It also has the disc drive the GameCube had, and two GameCube halves for the shoulder unit, complete with 4 controller ports and 2 memory card slots total.
*During an event in MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, Blanc claims to know how to use the spell Eternal Force Blizzard, an attack that is used by her two sisters and Mina. Although it is possible that she is simply lying to maintain her cover as Magical Burarin.
