Blanca (あやしいねこ, Ayashīneko, Suspicious Cat) is a recurring character in the Animal Crossing series, 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 Template:AF+, Animal Crossing and Template:AFe+, even though she is listed as male on the Japanese Animal Crossing: City Folk website, but she has 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 she does not have as developed a character as some of the others, she is shown to have a very spunky personality, similar to 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 Animal Crossing that she lacks a face, and when the player unmasks her in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

In Animal Forest + and Animal Crossing

In Template:AF+ and Animal Crossing, 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. She'll then appear in that town for a while, taking a walk with her new face. Strangely, in all official artwork in these games, she is never shown with a blank face, instead having a drawn-on face or simply scribbles.

In Wild World

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, 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 Animal Crossing: City Folk. 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 Animal Crossing: New Leaf and acts as the leader of April Fool's Day. She dresses and impersonates as a villager from the player's town inside his or her 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. If you do not know, you can click on the below response (often "not likely" or "..."). You 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

This list of trivia contains information that could be integrated into other sections of the article.

• When Blanca washes her 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 her.
• Blanca is referred to as "Bianca" in the Animal Crossing Prima Studyguide, which is Whitney's Japanese name.
• Official artwork before Animal Crossing: Wild World depicts Blanca drawing a henohenomohe on her face, but artwork after it depicts her with a generic smiley face, likely due to the series's gained popularity outside of Japan.
