'''Blanca''' is a recurring character in the {{SER}}, appearing in every game. She is a white [[cat]] who asks the [[player]] to draw her a face. ''Blanca'' means ''white'' (feminine) in Spanish, which was derived from "blanco", which is "white" in Latin. Due to her fur color, this is most likely the origin of her name. ''Blanca'' also means "blank", referring to her blank, canvas-like face. Some say her gender is unknown, because she has no defining masculine or feminine features. She has a female voice in {{PG}} and {{DnMe+}}, even though she is listed as male on the Japanese {{CF}} website,<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/ruuj/character/village_visitor.html</ref> but she has a male voice in {{WW}} and later, even in the non-Japanese versions. This is the same with [[Saharah]], except Saharah has never changed her voice between games.

Although she does not have as developed a character as some of the others, she is shown to have a very spunky personality, similar to [[Sisterly]] (Uchi) villagers, as no matter how much effort was put in to her face, she claims they just "scribbled something on". She also gets shocked easily, as shown when the player reveals to her in {{PG}} that she lacks a face, and when the player unmasks her in {{NL}}. In {{HHD}}, she claims to be in a prank war with Jack.

Blanca makes her first appearance in {{PG}}, despite being absent in the original {{DnM}}. She will randomly appear when traveling to other [[town]]s, replacing the usual [[Rover]]. When first meeting her, she will lack a face and ask the player if they could draw her a new one. She'll then appear in that town for a while, taking a walk with her new face.  Strangely, in all artwork in these games, she is never shown with a blank face, instead having a drawn-on face or simply scribbles.

Blanca returns in {{NL}} and acts as the leader of [[April Fool's Day]]. She dresses and impersonates as a [[villager]] from the player's town inside their house. Players must guess which one is the real villager.  They do this by listening to a piece of revealing information each version of the villager says. Whichever says the wrong info is the fake. To deduce the impostor, players can click on the below response (often "not likely" or "..."), and can find out what information is correct by telling other villagers that there is trouble. They will respond initially with shock and horror, but will soon calm down and tell you some information that the two villager versions will eventually use to reveal the fake. When the player knows who the fake is, they will say so, and be given a towel. They will then be asked to give the towel to the version of the villager they think is fake. If they get it right, they receive a [[picture]] of that villager. If the player is able to guess all the villagers correctly, they will win Blanca's picture the next day in a letter.

Blanca is a recurring character in the Animal Crossing series, appearing in every game. They are a white cat who asks the player to draw them a face. Blanca means white (feminine) in Spanish, which was derived from "blanco", which is "white" in Latin. Due to her fur color, this is most likely the origin of their name. Blanca also means "blank", referring to their blank, canvas-like face. Some say their gender is unknown, because they has no defining masculine or feminine features. They have a female voice in Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, even though they are listed as male on the Japanese Animal Crossing: City Folk website,[1] but they have a male voice in Animal Crossing: Wild World and later, even in the non-Japanese versions. This is the same with Saharah, except Saharah has never changed her voice between games.

Although they do not have as developed a character as some of the others, they are shown to have a very spunky personality, similar to Sisterly (Uchi) villagers, as no matter how much effort was put in to their face, they claim they just "scribbled something on". They also gets shocked easily, as shown when the player reveals to them in Animal Crossing that they lacks a face, and when the player unmasks them in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, they claim to be in a prank war with Jack.
