## Bio

### **Appearance**

Bianca is a 14-year old girl with short blonde hair and bright green eyes. She wears a green beret with a white stripe running along the rim, a white shirt under a tangerine orange tank top, a tight fitting shin-length white skirt which gives her bottom half a wider shape, and orange tights. She also wears two white bracelets on her right arm along with yellow shoes with white bows and her PokéPilot on her right arm. Bianca carries a green fringed shoulder bag, which she wears on her right hip over her left shoulder. Her Harmony Mark, placed on the bottoms of whatever she's wearing, is a bright emerald green flower surrounded by yellow and orange hearts.

As Floral Heart, hair hair gains a fade of orange and emerald green and becomes waist-length with two buns on top. Her dress is similar to Glitter Grace's, but some alterations are made (like the white gloves being replaced by emerald green armwrappers with a lighter green heart design).

### **Personality**

Bianca is a sweet girl but is also an airhead. She is fairly similar to Ash when he'd eventually just started his journey. She is also somewhat clumsy and unorganized. Usually, she runs excitedly towards them and then trips, causing her to collide with someone and knocking him/her into a body of water. Afterwards, she apologizes to him/her profusely.

Bianca has a soft spot for cute Pokémon like Minccino, Emolga, and Zorua and will stop at nothing to try to capture them. In fact, she once tried to get a hold of Luke's Zorua who kept disguising herself to trick her. Bianca also tends to think of odd schemes to lure a Pokémon out, like planting a dirty spoon under a cloche so she could trap Minccino. If her attempts at capturing fail, she will often have a temper tantrum about it. She cares dearly for her Pokémon, often crying out in sorrow when they're defeated. It was revealed at one point that she also likes Pokémon with muscles such as Sawk, Throh and Mienshao.

She tends to do things at her own pace, which often involves rushing and forcing people along with her. She was impatient to capture Minccino, as well as during battles, to the point that her friends had trouble keeping up with her. She wastes no time when giving her Pokémon commands, though this raw speed and power also causes her many blunders. She can also be hyperactive and pushy at times, as well as overly trusting.

Bianca is described as a girl who goes about at her own pace and is prone to impulsive actions that can get her and those around her in trouble, and also as being 'flighty' by Professor Juniper and Cheren. She, though, also has a strong side, as shown when she embarked on a Pokémon journey despite her father's strong opposition. With the help of Nina and Nimbasa City Gym Leader Elesa, Bianca convinced her father to let her follow her dream. It is that act that Rose and the other Pixies willingly get themselves found out by the heroes' *other* parents (due to the Starlix Club knowing from the start), who decide to help keep the existence of the Dream Pixies a secret. Bianca also has feelings for Cheren, but is always flustered and unable to confess, especially when she one time got interrupted in an episode of season 3 of SBALM.

In *The Next Generation*, it is shown she has matured a lot, especially with her role as Professor of Unova.

## History

### **Becoming Floral Heart**

When Bianca, Cody, Elisa, Mallow Blanc, Julia, Hilda, Cheren, Hilbert, Nate, Rosa and Titty 'Tit' are urgently sent to the Village of Dragons, Bianca becomes quite mad upon seeing a Nightmare. They command their Pokémon to attack, but nothing happens, confusing them. The 4 villains tell them that they won't let *another* group of stupid kids gain powers, but the Unovan kids have no idea who the villains even are and are terrified at the sight of a pink-skinned girl, a lizardlike woman, a man made of darkness, and a humanoid robot. Bianca starts to run away screaming, but Mallow says that facing your fears is the most important thing, and everyone agrees. They all declare that they're going to face their fears no matter what, and that causes Bianca to become Floral Heart along with Angel S'more, Angel Dream, Flame Heart, Ocean Heart, Sparkle Heart, Aqua Heart, and Thunder Heart. The villains mock them relentlessly and almost steal their transformation items, but Floral Heart just barely manages to avoid hers being stolen and helps defeat the Nightmare with the group attack Mix-HarmonSync.

## Magical Abilities

### **Magical Abilities**

Bianca can control the power of nature. Her magic aura is **dandelion yellow** in color.

## Floral Heart

**"Breezy flowers! The power of nature! I'm Floral Heart!"**

**Floral Heart** is Bianca's alter ego. In order to transform, she needs her Harmony Fairy, her Miracle Fairy, her PokéPet Kika (the Oshawott wearing a sky blue scarf), her Dream Seed and her PokéPilot.

### **Attacks**

* **Floral Sync Butterfly Shoot** - Floral Heart's Sync Move.

* **Floral Shower** - Floral Heart's non-Sync Move finisher.

* **Mix-HarmonSync** - A Sync Move Combo that can be used with more than two Magic Warriors. She first used the Unovian variant in episode 7 of season 1.

## Spells

* **Honey Falls**: With this spell, Bianca can cause a flower to pour out edible honey by magically turning the nectar inside of it into honey.
* **Nutri-Fly**: Bianca creates a yellow energy butterfly and sends it to somewhere with low nutrients (such as as a stream or area of soil), where it bursts and floods the area with nutrients for growth, making it fertile or cleaning up the pollution/trash, though it isn't as potent as the effect of Angel Clover making any soil she walks on fertile. This can also enhance the effect of dead things doing the same thing, such as when she used this spell along with Bailey's spell Fertile Dissolution (which can quickly dissolve a deceased living thing to release its nutrients and life energy back into the surrounding environment) in the stream in *The Circle of Life!* to enhance the nutrient boost already provided by the deceased Goldeen.

## Trivia

* Her having a Oshawott for a PokéPet despite being nature-powered is a reference to the *Pokémon Adventures* manga, where she gets Oshawott for herself after Cheren is given a Snivy by her.

* Her alias in her Innocent Harmony Form and its Starlight Style is changed to **Innocent Starlight *Flower*** because **Innocent Starlight *Floral*** sounded a bit too weird.
* Floral Heart's outfit originally was going to be similar to Cure Blossom's, but it was changed to be similar to Cure Grace's instead.
