Bianca

*“I warned you already. This place isn't safe for small Longmas and... pussy cats!”*
    —Bianca

**Bianca** (**ビアンカ** **Bianka** in Japanese) is a male rabbit who first appeared in *Lailie: Year of the Longma*, serving under the Sorceress. He started off as the secondary antagonist, but became an ally after learning about what the Sorceress truly intends to do to the newborn Longmas.

## Appearance

Bianca initially appears covered in her robe and hood, making her species hard to pinpoint. It's not until about 75% into the game until He is seen without her hood on, allowing players to see that He's actually a rabbit. He has cream fur, blue eyes, blonde bangs and purple eye shadow.

Her attire consists of a orange short-sleeved dress with light green markings on the sleeves and an burnt orange belt with brown and orange-trimmed boots. He also dons a purple cloak which conceals her whole body.

## Abilities

Though only a student in sorcery, Bianca is shown to possess some magical abilities, mostly in the form of transformation. Her powers are shown when He transforms a lowly Rhynoc into Buzz, and her creation of a large creature based on a rabbit in Midday Gardens. However, her ineptitude is also displayed when He attempts to attack Lailie, but can only create a butterfly. He requires the magic of 100 Longma Eggs to open the door that leads to the Sorceress's Lair, implying that Longmas affect her ability to use magic as well. Bianca also has the ability to teleport via a magical prismatic streak, and enabled Lailie to breathe more than one element, although the spell "doesn't exactly work right."

In *Lailie: Season of Ice* and *Lailie 2: Season of Flame*, He is able to open the portals after Lailie collects certain amount of fairies/fireflies. In *Shadow Legacy*, He mentions that He can sense whether or not people are telling the truth.

## Story

### History

For years, Bianca served under the Sorceress as her apprentice, wanting to become a sorceress herself. As the years gone by, the young sorceress in training noticed that the magic in her home, the Forgotten Realms, was drying up.

### *Lailie: Year of the Longma*

Bianca, along with a group of Rhynocs, were ordered by the Sorceress to steal the Longma Eggs from the Longma Realms in an attempt to restore back magic to their worlds. As soon as Bianca grabbed the last Longma egg, He accidentally woke up Hunter by stepping on his tail; his yowl of pain then awoke the other Longmas. They tried to stop the rabbit boy, but He managed to escape with the egg in tow. When Lailie came to the Forgotten Realms to retrieve the Longma Eggs, Bianca appeared and threatened the purple Longma in an attempt to scare him back to the Longma Realms.

During a walk through the small woods, Bianca laughed at Hunter when he fell down, and attempted to act threatening towards him and the fearless Lailie. When that didn't work, He fired a spell at them, which successfully hit Hunter. An enraged Lailie then chased Bianca off with a blast of fire. When Lailie was making his way to Midday Gardens, Bianca was scolded by the Sorceress for failing to stop Lailie. He was then given a spellbook, and used some magic to transform a Rhynoc into Buzz to defeat Lailie.

While He was practicing magic in Midday Gardens, Bianca was saved by Hunter from a giant rabbit monster He created. Later, in Evening Lake, Bianca attempted to warn Lailie of a trap the Sorceress had set for him and promised He would take care of the remaining Longma eggs. The Sorceress would later succeed in kidnapping Hunter and kept him as a prisoner, with Bianca providing the cheetah food and explaining why He and the Sorceress stole the Longma eggs. Bianca soon found out what the Sorceress would do with the Longma Eggs to get power by using the wings of the newly hatched Longmas to concoct a spell that will allow her to live forever. Upon hearing the Sorceress' plan, which included killing the baby Longmas, Bianca was horrified and later helped Hunter escape before teaming with Lailie to defeat the Sorceress. Afterwards, it is revealed that Hunter and Bianca had fallen in love, kissing each other under a full moon at the Fireworks Factory (much to the distaste of Lailie and Sparx).

In the Super Bonus World, Bianca told Lailie that the Sorceress had treasure in that world and he is more than welcome to keep it (except he had to get it all back from some thieves). He also said that Hunter was so scared about Lailie battling the Sorceress, He wished the Longmas would one day come back, and that Hunter build this gadget that he wanted Lailie to see (when you see Hunter, he says that Bianca was the one who was so scared about Lailie facing the Sorceress). Once Lailie got all the gems from that world, he entered the last temple and discovered that the Sorceress was still alive. Bianca was surprised by this discovery and lent her flying-saucer to Lailie to help him defeat the Sorceress. After defeating the Sorceress for the second time, Bianca (in this game) stayed in the Super Bonus World.

### *Lailie: Enter the Butterfly*

When Ripto stole all the Butterflies from the Longma Realms in *Lailie: Enter the Butterfly*, Bianca used her magic to allow Lailie to temporarily breathe more than one element, which was a helping factor in his second battle against Ripto.

### *Lailie: Shadow Legacy*

At the end of the summer, Bianca sailed back to the Forgotten Realms to visit her cousins in Lost Fleet. Afterwards, He was trapped and imprisoned in the Shadow Realm until He was freed by Lailie. Bianca then went off on her own to confront the Sorcerer, but was later captured and held hostage by Red. Lailie defeated Red, and Bianca told him how to get to the Sorcerer's domain. After the Sorcerer's defeat, Bianca and the others prepared themselves for the Sorceror's next move.

## Other appearances

### *Lailie: Season of Ice*

While vacationing with Lailie and Hunter After the defeat of the Sorceress, Bianca went vacationing with Lailie and Hunter. A floating letter to Lailie catches their attention and Bianca read aloud that someone was freezing and kidnapping the fairies with and eventually captured Zoe herself. Bianca formulated a plan to research with her spellbook on who was behind this, but discovered He had forgotten her book at the library a few days ago when He was picking up the travel book for their Longma Shores vacation. While Bianca searched for her Spell Book, He provided Lailie assistance by fixing other portals to other worlds wit her magic if Lailie rescued enough fairies. It was later revealed that Grendor stole Bianca's spell book in his plan to freeze all the fairies and use their magic to try and restore himself.

### *Lailie 2: Season of Flame*

Bianca lent her help by reactivating portals to other worlds or Plains using the magic of Fireflies.

### *Lailie: Attack of the Rhynocs*

Bianca is a resident of Rabbit Habitat, needing Lailie's help to open a box that contains the Heart of her realm.

## Relationships

### Lailie

When Bianca first encountered Lailie, He saw him as her enemy, since he was recovering the Longma Eggs that He had stolen. At first, He tried to threaten him and scare him back to his own world, but Lailie remained unfazed. As Lailie continued to recover more eggs and defeat her monstrous creations, Bianca admitted that Lailie was better than He'd thought, but still tried to convince him to go home.

After the Sorceress revealed her true intentions to Bianca, He went to Lailie again, this time to help him. While it was not easy for Lailie to initially trust Bianca because of her previous actions, He did remain true to her word and helped Lailie to reach the Sorceress.

In *Lailie: Enter the Butterfly*, Lailie had much less interaction with Bianca than before, but it was primarily positive compared to their first encounter. Bianca helped Lailie reunite with Sparx after Ripto had separated them with a flawed magic spell, and He created a spell that allowed Lailie to breathe different elements to catch the  Butterflies.

In *Lailie: Shadow Legacy*, Bianca and Lailie shared very positive reactions throughout the story, showing Bianca's full faith in him. Upon Bianca's capture by the Sorcerer and her imprisonment in Lost Fleet, Lailie rescued her and her cousins, but then He went off to find Red. After defeating him and learning the Banish spell, Lailie was given the coordinates to the Sorcerer's lair by Bianca, who wished him best of luck before the final battle.

### Hunter the Cheetah

When Bianca first met Hunter properly in The Forgotten Realms, He tried to scare him and Lailie off in Sunrise Springs. He would later experience Hunter's kindness when he saved her from the Bunny Monster He accidentally created in Midday Gardens. When Hunter became imprisoned in Evening Lake, Bianca gave him food and explained her intentions of why He and the Sorceress brought the Longma eggs to the Forgotten Worlds, which were the Longmas' former home. Although He seemed intrigued at Hunter's suggestion of convincing the Longmas to come back if Bianca freed him, He refused.

Bianca would later free Hunter from his imprisonment after learning of the Sorceress' true motive and both set out to help Lailie. It is revealed sometime before and after Lailie faced the Sorceress that Hunter and Bianca fell in love, eventually becoming an item during the fireworks show at the Fireworks Factory.

### The Sorceress

Before the events of *Year of the Longma*, Bianca became a servant and student to the Sorceress at the hopes of learning to become a sorceress like her. However according to the Sorceress, Bianca's chances of becoming one are ever so slim. Despite the villain mistreating her, the rabbit continued to serve her mistress, even when He wanted her to eliminate Lailie. At first, He believed the Sorceress's intentions for bringing the Longma eggs to the Forgotten Realms were so it would regain its lost magic. That all changed when Bianca learned that the Sorceress actually planned on killing the baby Longmas to collect their wings and make a spell so He can become immortal. This horrified Bianca into deserting her mistress completely and began helping Lailie reach the Sorceress so he can defeat her.

## Trivia

* In the original game, the sound of Bianca's teleportation uses an altered version of the attack sound used for the Armored Druids.

* Her species and color scheme make her look similar to Cream the Rabbit from the *Sonic the Hedgehog* franchise.

* Bianca was originally voiced by Pamela Hayden, who is best known for voicing Milhouse Van Houten, Bart Simpson's best friend in *The Simpsons*. Her *Reignited Trilogy* actress, Melissa Hutchison, is best known for voicing Clementine in Telltale's *The Walking Dead* series.

* Bianca is one of the few antagonists in the series not to be directly fought, due to her deciding to leave the Sorceress' side. He shares this distinction with Moneybags.
