Blanca is a faceless cat in the Animal Crossing series. In games prior to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, she appears during multiplayer and asks the player to draw a face on her, while in New Leaf she is the host of April Fools' Day. Her name comes from her fur color; blanca is Spanish for white, and also from the word blank, referencing her absent, blank face.

Characteristics

Appearance

Blanca is a faceless white cat whose face is drawn by the player. In games prior to New Leaf, she wears a random shirt, though her artwork depicts her wearing a blossom shirt, and in New Leaf, she wears a red-and-yellow striped outfit with a blue ruff on her neck, resembling a jester.

In her artwork for Animal Crossing, Blanca is drawing a henohenomoheji—a face drawn by Japanese schoolchildren learning hiragana—on her face. In her artwork for Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk as well as her in-game appearance in her RV in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo, she has a crudely drawn smiley face drawn on her face.

Personality

In games prior to Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Blanca is insecure about her face since she cannot see what people drew on her. When she visits other player's towns, she says that she likes to travel the world, but she gets upset when spoken to, thinking the player is there to make fun of and spread rumors about her face.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Blanca is a self-proclaimed "professional trickster," enjoying causing mischief on April Fools' Day by disguising as other villagers.

Gender

In international versions of all games, Blanca is female, while she is male in all Japanese and Korean versions. In Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, she has a female voice. Beginning in Wild World, she has a male voice in all regions. Although it has not been confirmed by localization team whether or not this change was intentional like with Gracie, or an oversight like with Saharah, it is revealed to be an intentional change due to the localizers updating Blanca and Gracie's gender from "male" to "female" in the Game Boy Advance Matchmakers e-Reader minigame.

Relationships

Jack

In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Blanca refers to Jack as her old trickster rival. She mentions that she has been involved in a vicious prank war with Jack for so long that she can no longer trust her house and thus needs a new one. When Jack is spoken to after building his house, he references the prank war he is engaged in with Blanca and calls her a "pretender to the throne."

Appearances

In the first-generation games

Blanca in Animal Crossing.

Blanca appears in Doubutsu no Mori+, Animal Crossing, and Doubutsu no Mori e+. She has a 50% chance of appearing on the train in place of Rover when the player travels to another town, and she asks the player to draw a face for her. The next time the player who was visited loads their save, within one week of the other player's visit, Blanca appears in their town for the day with the face the visiting player drew. Blanca can only visit town on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she appears from 6 AM to 12 AM, and on Saturdays, she appears from 6 AM to 7 PM.

If the player talks to Blanca, she tells them about her visit. Each time the player save and loads the game, Blanca has new dialog. After reloading the game and speaking to her 10 times, she leaves town. If the player does not speak to her 10 times, she leaves one week after she was encountered on the train.

Rover may mention Blanca on the train when the player travels to another town, saying that he has seen her before on the train and was initially scared by her but had fun drawing her face.

In Wild World and City Folk

Blanca in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, if the player allows the "mysterious cat" to visit via the telephone in the attic, Blanca can appear in the player's town after visiting another town. When spoken to, she asks the player to draw her a face. The next day, she appears in the town of the player who was visited with the face drawn on her, and she will ask the player how her face looks and allow them to redraw it up to two times. She will then appear in another player's town the next day.^{[clarification needed]}

When spoken to at The Roost in Wild World, Rover may speak of a "mysterious cat," referring to Blanca. He will ask the player if they have seen her.

Due to the discontinuation of WiiConnect24 in 2013, Blanca can no longer be encountered in City Folk, unless the player is connected to a third-party online service.

In New Leaf

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Blanca is the host of April Fools' Day. She initially appears in the event plaza during the event, and once the player speaks to her, she asks the player to play a game. During the game, Blanca appears in a villager's house disguised as the villager, and the player must determine which one is Blanca through the hints both the real villager and the disguised Blanca tell them. If the player correctly identifies Blanca in all villagers' houses, she mails the player a congratulatory letter containing Blanca's Pic the next day.

In New Horizons

Other appearances

Blanca can appear as a spectator in the background of the Smashville stage.

Description	A cat whose face is an empty white canvas for you to draw on. After traveling via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, she may appear with a face that someone else drew. Draw a new face, and she'll wander for a bit, then take off for a new town. In Animal Crossing, she would appear on the train between towns. Whether you give her a cute or funny face is up to you.

Blanca

Description	Her smooth face is just like...well, a blank canvas! She used to let people give her a face by drawing on her, but in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, she uses her peculiar face to trick everyone on April Fools' Day. Only a master of disguise like her could mimic other people so convincingly!
Acquisition	Random

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Blanca reprises her role as a spectator in the background of Smashville, in addition to serving as a spectator for Town and City in the town portion of the stage.
