"OK, my face is your canvas, so make sure you ink a masterpiece!"

- Blanca

Blanca (あやしいねこ, Ayashīneko, Suspicious Cat) is a recurring character in the, appearing in every game. She is a white cat who asks the player to draw her a face. Her name likely comes from the Spanish name Blanca. Some say her gender is unknown, due to the fact that she has no defining masculine or feminine features, though she is listed as male on the Japanese website, and also has a male voice in  and.

In Animal Forest + and Animal Crossing
In and, she will randomly appear when traveling to other towns. When first meeting her, she will lack a face and ask the player if they could draw her a new one. If the player meets her again, she may have a different face to the one the player drawn. Strangely, in all official artwork outside of the games, she is never shown with a blank face, instead having a drawn-on face or simply scribbles.

In Wild World
In, she 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. She may appear randomly if the previous two conditions are met.

In City Folk
Blanca makes another appearance in. She 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, she will lack a face and ask the player to draw her one. Her face can be drawn a maximum of two times before she refuses anymore in one day. This has opened up some abuse with some Animal Crossing: City Folk users, due to anyone can edit Blanca and her face can allow explicit drawings or words - depending on who is on the Friend List. If the player doesn't draw her a face, she will get angry and tell them she won't be able to see anything. However, Blanca will only appear with a blank face if she originates in the player's town, if they have received Blanca from a registered friend, then they will see the face that they drew, but the player may change or clear Blanca's face. Any of player's registered friends may receive her the next day.

In New Leaf
Blanca returns in and acts as the leader of April Fool's Day. She dresses as a villager from the player's town and impersonates him/her inside their house. The player must guess which one is the real villager. 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.
