Personality[]

Bianca is a popular student with a clique of teenagers following her. She is competitive and arrogant and quickly becomes Wednesday Addams' rival. However, she is internally insecure and is pressured about how others perceive her. This is also the reason why she envies the attitude of Wednesday who doesn't care to show herself as she is. Bianca's personality was also influenced by the toxicity of her mother, from whom she decided to move away by going to Nevermore and even changing her name. Despite her flaws, Bianca also has a compassionate and sympathetic side shown with her love for Xavier Thorpe or even when she refuses to torture Tyler when it is revealed that he is the Hyde Monster. She also cares about her friends and the school, using her siren song on them to evacuate them from the school before Crackstone attacks.

History[]

Bianca first appears when she has a fencing match against Rowan who forfeits. Wednesday gets to know her and challenges Bianca to a duel, causing her to be injured in the cheek. In the following episode, several teams, where Bianca and Wednesday compete against each other, compete in the Edgar Allan Poe Cup where they must retrieve flags near the Crackstone Crypt. Although initially in the lead, Bianca and her team end up being overtaken by Wednesday's team who win the game.

In the following episode, the Nevermore School is invited to Jericho and the students spend the day working at a location in town. When Arlene asks Bianca where Wednesday is, she confidently replies that she must be somewhere she shouldn't be. During the Rave'N, Bianca asks Xavier to be her date and the two go to the party together. However, when Wednesday arrives, Xavier is surprised and Bianca jealous. Frustrated, Xavier asks Bianca to use her siren song to forget Wednesday, which shocks Bianca who leaves. A little later, she discusses and sympathizes with Wednesday by expressing the stress she feels in relation to the expectations of those around her.

In the following episode, the parents go to Nevermore and Bianca goes to the Weathervane with her mother Gabrielle. Without waiting, Gabrielle blackmails her daughter into coming back with her or she will reveal that she cheated to get into Nevermore. At the end of the episode before her mother leaves, Bianca accepts the deal on the condition that Gabrielle disappears from her life after this. In the following episode, Bianca strikes up a friendship with Lucas Walker where the two discuss at the Weathervane their mistakes.

In the final episode, Wednesday brings Tyler into the woods and traps him with Bianca and the Nightshade Society after finding out he is the Hyde. So they take him to Xavier's workshop where they chain him up before Wednesday starts torturing Tyler to make him talk. Shocked, Bianca and the others go to warn Mrs. Weems of the situation. Afterwards, Bianca manipulates everyone present at the school with her siren song to make them leave as Joseph Crackstone prepares to destroy the place. During the fight between Wednesday and Crackstone, Bianca intervenes by impaling the zealot with a sword, though she is thrown backwards. Eventually, Crackstone is defeated and the school is saved. As Wednesday leaves, Bianca greets her and jokes that she mustn't let her victory go to her head.
