Appearance[edit]

Artwork of Blanche fromNew Leaf.

Blanche is a white ostrich, resembling a stork or an egret, with a black beak, pink cheeks, and black tips on her wings and tail. Her eyes have red eyeshadow in tandem with her snooty personality. Her legs and feet are pink and striped.

Personality[edit]

Below is a brief description of thesnooty personality. For more information, clickhere.

As a snooty villager, Blanche will first appear rude and arrogant towards the player, often talking about herself and her own experiences. She may also talk about the style and appearance and of other villagers, usually other female villagers such as normal, peppy, and other snooty villagers. She will soon warm up to the player, confiding in them about their own feelings, but still subtly rude. She will find it hard to get along with other villagers, specifically jock and lazy villagers who have conflicting lifestyles with her own. She may get on with cranky villagers, who also enjoy gossiping about the appearance and lifestyles of others.

Trivia[edit]

• The clothing in Blanche'sNew Horizons house and her loom-themed house request inHappy Home Paradise allude to the Japanese folkloreTsuru no Ongaeshi (White Crane's Return of Favor). In a popular version of the story, a white crane is rescued from a trap by an elderly couple. It takes the form of a woman and works as a weaver at the couple's house in return of the favor. Later, the old man peeked into her workplace, only to find a crane weaving with its own feathers. Upon the revelation of the secret, the crane parted with the old couple and flew away.
  • Similarly,Gladys, another white ostrich, contains a loom and clothing-related items inside of herNew Leaf andNew Horizons houses, has a loom as an unlock item for herHappy Home Designer andHappy Home Paradise house requests, and has a loom as a crafting request item inAnimal Crossing: Pocket Camp.
