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.
Appearances
Animal Crossing
Blanca makes their first appearance in Animal Crossing, despite being absent in the original Doubutsu no Mori. They will randomly appear when traveling to other towns, replacing the usual Rover. When first meeting them, they will lack a face and ask the player if they could draw them a new one. They then appear in that town for a while, taking a walk with their new face. Strangely, in all artwork in these games, they are never shown with a blank face, instead having a drawn-on face or simply scribbles.
Animal Crossing: Wild World
In Animal Crossing: Wild World, they will appear if the "Mysterious cat" mode is turned on (which can be by using the telephone in the attic), and if the player has used Wi-Fi. They may appear randomly if the previous two conditions are met.
Animal Crossing: City Folk
Blanca makes another appearance in Animal Crossing: City Folk. They may appear anywhere in the town as long as WiiConnect24 is enabled on both the Wii and the telephone in the attic. Like in the previous games, theu will lack a face and ask the player to draw them one. Their face can be drawn a maximum of two times before they refuse any more in one day. If the player does not draw them a face, they complain that they cannot see anything. However, Blanca appears with a blank face only if they originate in the player's town; if the player has received Blanca from a registered friend, then the player will see the face that the friend drew, but the player may change or clear Blanca's face. Any of player's registered friends may receive them the next day.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Blanca returns in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and acts as the leader of April Fool's Day. They dresse 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.

Trivia
- When Blanca washes their face, it comes off. Consequently, someone has to draw her a new one.
- When spoken to at The Roost in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Rover will constantly speak of a "mysterious cat", referring to Blanca. He will ask the player if they have seen them.
- Blanca is erroneously referred to as "Bianca" in the Animal Crossing Prima Studyguide, which is Whitney's Japanese name. It would also end up being the name of a tiger villager in the English version of Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
- Artwork before Animal Crossing: Wild World depicts Blanca drawing a henohenomoheji on their face, but artwork after it depicts them with a generic smiley face, likely due to the series's gained popularity outside of Japan.
- Despite being physically absent in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the player can receive Blanca's poster by scanning their amiibo card in Photopia.
