Bianca (Japanese: ベル Bel) is the seventeenth main character of the manga series Pokémon Adventures and one of the female main characters for the Black & White arc.
Character
Bianca is a newly starting out Pokémon Trainer along with her two friends, Black and Cheren. She and Cheren are well acquainted with Professor Juniper and were the ones who recommended him to be the third Unova Pokédex holder despite her having never met the boy before. She is described as a girl who goes about in her own pace and is prone to impulsive actions that can get her and those around her in trouble.
History
Past
Bianca and Cheren have been friends with Black since they were small children despite the fact that Black lived in a different town from them. As they played together, Black gained interest in beating the Pokémon League and subsequently dragged Bianca and Cheren into doing it as well.
Present
Bianca, along with Cheren, first appears in front of Black's house where they witness the aftermath of the fight involving Professor Juniper's Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott. While Professor Juniper shows her anger over the fight between the starters and the Pokédexes that Black had dropped into a puddle, Bianca gives Cheren the Snivy, stating that it resembled him, and takes Oshawott for herself.
They all chase after the missing Tepig and find Black trying to rescue it from a tree. When Black is attacked by an unknown Pokémon, Bianca and Professor Juniper listen to Cheren's explanation about Black's abilities with his Musha and they witness him defeat the Pokémon, a Sewaddle, and fly off. They are all shocked to find out that the Pokédexes that Black had accidentally dropped into the water no longer work.
Next, Bianca and Cheren have a brief sparring match with their new Pokémon which ends with Bianca getting hit by her Oshawott and attacking Cheren in anger. Cheren explains his and Bianca's history with Black to Professor Juniper and they decide to go tell him about his Pokédex being the only working one. Just as they leave, Bianca's father tries to stop her from leaving while Bianca refuses his demand.
Sometime later, after some traveling, Bianca and Cheren reach Striaton City where they arrive at the Gym. There, they find Black and White having tea inside of the Gym's restaurant. Bianca interrupts Black's Gym challenge by messing up the Gyms puzzle; this almost causes one of the Gym Leaders, Chili, to disqualify Black from challenging the Gym before changing his mind and giving them another option: to fight all three of them at the same time. Despite the power the Gym Leaders possess, they eventually manage to beat Chili's Pansear, allowing them to win with 3-2 when the time limit expires. Bianca, along with Black and Cheren, each receive their own Trio Badge as a reward for defeating the Gym. Later, they are introduced to White and are given Xtransceivers from her; the two groups then go their separate ways.
Bianca is later seen walking through the streets of Castelia City with her new Pokémon, Litwick, while looking for Black so she can obtain his Xtransceiver number. She is knocked unconscious by a Amoonguss while its Trainer, a Team Plasma Grunt, kidnaps her Litwick.

- Main article: Bianca's Oshawott
Oshawott was first seen in Professor Juniper's lab where it tried to stop a fight between Tepig and Snivy, only to be hit by the latter and making it join the fight as well, leaving the lab in a complete mess. Later, it was delivered to Black along with Tepig and Snivy and once again stopped its partners from a fight. Later Bianca took Oshawott after Black chose Tepig, and gave Snivy to Cheren before he could even protest.

Trivia
- She and Cheren break the pattern that the games set, as in, instead of her having the starter that would be weaker to the player character (in this case, Black), she instead has the starter that is stronger to his.
