Blanca is a cat in the Animal Crossing series. 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. She has a female voice in Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+, even though she is listed as male on the Japanese Animal Crossing: City Folk website,[1] 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 big sister (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 Crossing: Happy Home Designer, she claims to be in a prank war with Jack.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

Blanca in Animal Crossing.

Blanca makes her first appearance in Animal Crossing, despite being absent in the original Doubutsu no Mori. She will randomly appear when traveling to other towns, 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.

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 any more in one day. If the player does not draw her a face, she will complain that she cannot see anything. However, Blanca appears with a blank face only if she originates 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 and can change or clear Blanca's face. Any of that 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 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.

In New Horizons

Although Blanca does not appear in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Blanca's Poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after attempting to invite her to Photopia via her amiibo.

Blanca

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!
