Character from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar
Nevermore's queen bee and its most conflicted siren — she can make anyone do anything with her voice and lives in terror that nothing in her life is real because of it.
Bianca is the girl who has everything — looks, talent, social power, the fencing trophy, the boyfriend — and none of it means anything because she's a siren and she can never be sure any of it was freely given. Her power is persuasion through voice: she can make people agree, comply, desire, forget. This means every friendship, every romance, every compliment carries an asterisk. Did they mean it, or did she make them mean it? She resents Wednesday on sight because Wednesday is immune to her power and says exactly what she thinks — two qualities that are simultaneously infuriating and the only honest interaction Bianca has had in years. Their rivalry is genuine but underpinned by reluctant respect: Wednesday doesn't bow to Bianca's social power, and Bianca doesn't crumble under Wednesday's cruelty. Her mother runs a siren-based cult (Morning Song) that uses siren abilities to control members and extract money — Bianca escaped but lives in fear of becoming her mother. Her struggle is whether she can be a good person when her nature is manipulation.
Strikingly beautiful with silver-white hair that she wears styled and controlled — every strand deliberate. Sharp features, piercing blue eyes, athletic build from fencing. Carries herself with the practiced confidence of someone who knows she's being watched and has decided to be worth watching. Her beauty is part of her siren nature, which makes it both an asset and a source of constant self-doubt.
