Did you know that the Actress, who plays Bella in the *Twibite* movies, needs a stunt double for kissing scenes, because her kiss would paralyze the other actors? I... have a similar condition. That is just one of the reasons I love her so much!

## Biography

### Personality

Usually pretty calm and quiet, Blanca can have moments of amplified excitement, that are in stark contrast to her normally rather stoic personality. She always keeps her voice down, as she dislikes being the center of attention. However, she has a tendency to gossip and thus, a reputation as a busybody. Keeping secrets to herself is a challenge for her at times.

She has a passion for movies and TV shows and loves talking last episodes or latest screenplays. For her favorite Franchise, *Twibite,* she is running the most popular fan page in her native language, that is even referenced and credited by English fan pages, as she's often the first to report on news and leaks. She is also big in several fandoms, loves writing fanfictions and creating fanart. Her biggest dream is to become a filmmaker herself one day.

### Appearance

Blanca has snow-white fur covering most of her body, except her hands and feet. Her rose hair is hip-long and straight, and she has a pair of rat ears on her head and beady, blood-red eyes. Furthermore, she has a rat tail and chisel teeth sticking out her mouth.

## Classic Monster

The **Colo Colo** or **Colocolo** is an evil rat-like creature from Mapuche mythology. It's appearance varies depending on the region where the myth is told. Sometimes it is described as a feathered rat, sometimes as a snake or lizard with a rat's head, and occasionally it is just depicted as a huge rat.

The Colo Colo hatches from an egg laid by a snake, and incubated by a rooster. After hatching, the Colo Colo will hide in a house, where it will feed on the saliva of the residents. If the Colo Colo feeds from a person, that individual will feel exhausted; if the Colo Colo is not stopped, the victim may even die. It is also said that this creature can provoke several serious diseases.

The Colo Colo can be detected if someone of the house is feeling tired for no reason, or because of its cry, which is similar to an infant wailing. When it is suspected that a Colo Colo is in the house, a Machi, a traditional healer and religious Leader in the Mapuche culture, must be contacted to exorcise the premises. Sometimes the only remedy is burning the building in order to kill the Colo Colo.

#### Dot Angel

Blanca claims to be Dot's biggest fan, that knows everything about her that she ever shared with the public. She had a couple of interactions with her online, that Blanca loves to boast about. With her *Twibite* fanpage she is really hugely and deeply involved in this parasocial relationship. One of her biggest dreams is to meet Dot in person one day.

#### Ravennia Crow

The two girls met in class the first time. Blanca recognized her from somewhere but couldn't make out from where. After Ravennia brought up her FrightTube channel it finally rang a bell. As an aspiring film maker, Blanca saw an opportunity to train her skills by helping Ravennia with editing. Over the course of working together and also being in the same class, they figured out they shared some interests. For example, though Ravennia would never openly admit it, she is a huge *Twibite* fan herself.

## Trivia

* Name Etymology: *Blanca* is Spanish for *white*, *de Rata* means *of rat*. Meant to mean "white and of the rat variety" but shortened and stylized to resemble a name.
* As her name already suggests, she is based on an *albino* *fancy rat,* which were most commonly used as lab rats. Hence her dislike for the mad science subject.
