Bianca is born in Florence, Italy in the late 1470s. She has sharp grey eyes and wavy golden hair, which she often interweaves with pearls. She is often described as a woman painted by Botticelli. She lives a happy mortal life with her brothers until they die and she is forced to depend financially on her evil kinsmen who are bankers. They provide amply for her as long as she kills those who they instruct her to kill. She does this by opening her house to virtually all as an amicable and graceful hostess and secretly placing poison in the wine cups of those whom her kinsmen want dead. She is a renowned Venetian courtesan when Marius comes to know her. Marius immediately falls in love with her and becomes obsessed with her, contemplating making her a vampire. A few years after the two meet each other, Armand arrives on the scene and also falls in love with Bianca. The three form an amiable sort of love triangle before The Children of Darkness, led by Santino, destroy Marius's palazzo, burn Marius and take away Armand. After the burning, Marius, severely weakened, mentally calls Bianca to him. Marius makes Bianca a vampire so that she can bring him victims so that he can heal. The two stay together for nearly two hundred years, caring for Those Who Must Be Kept, before Bianca leaves Marius in Dresden. She leaves because when talking to Pandora, Marius says that he would leave Bianca if it means having Pandora with him once more. Marius also does not tell Bianca that rumours of Pandora in Dresden are the only reason they moved there. It is not known where she went after leaving Marius or even whether she exists. The most recent sighting of her is by Armand in Paris in the early 19th century.
