Background

Bianca was summoned to the Great Knight's Territory to become acquainted with Maria Nearl and obtain a lance Maria would forge for her. Although she initially intended to keep her distance and avoid approaching Maria with an ulterior motive, she was unable to ignore the discrimination, exploitation, and violence she witnessed against Kazimierz's Infected population 66.

After treating the wounded Infected children Dudu and her brother, Bianca explained her belief that knights should uphold chivalry rather than pursue money and fame. Learning that Infected individuals could not enter the Knight Competition, she resolved to remain in Kazimierz, enter the competition herself, and use its influence to create fairer opportunities 67.

She registered despite despising the competition's spectacle and corruption. Her chance collision with Maria Nearl led to a close friendship, with Maria lending her Margaret Nearl's armor and later personally forging her a lance 68 72 85.

Appearance

Bianca is a blonde, blue-eyed girl with long golden hair and an outwardly mature, composed bearing that leads others to assume she is older than sixteen 66 71.

• Azure eyes 69
• Long golden hair 74
• Usually wears Kazimierz-style clothing outside combat 66
• Uses knightly armor in competition, initially borrowing Margaret Nearl's silver-white armor 72
• Can manifest blue-white dress armor with luminous propulsion wings, as well as a later golden armor 87 89

Personality

Bianca is guided by an uncompromising sense of chivalry, honesty, and responsibility. She rejects the commercialization of knighthood and considers strength a means to protect people and clear paths for them to choose their own future 67 69. She is willing to endure situations she dislikes—including competing before a crowd—when doing so can help others 68.

Despite her overwhelming strength, she does not look down on opponents and controls her force to avoid needless killing or injury. She showed pity toward the enslaved Sarkaz knights Withered and Corrupted even while defeating them 77 81.

Her sincerity can make her socially blunt and emotionally dense. She dislikes fan attention, corporate overtures, and political maneuvering, preferring training or time with friends. She trusts Maria deeply, respects her secrets, and consistently puts her friends' safety before her own convenience 76 78 80.

Abilities & Skills

Exceptional Physical Strength and Combat Ability

Bianca possesses overwhelming physical power, speed, reflexes, and durability. Kazimierz's competition rules and conventional equipment gaps are effectively irrelevant against her strength 67 75.

• Defeated Zofia in a spar without moving her feet during the defense, then disarmed her and stopped a lance at her throat 70
• Defeated the Rusted Bronze Knight with one punch and swept through the points match for 41 points 73 74
• Forced veteran knight Tytus Topola to concede after stopping her lance just before his forehead; the air pressure shattered his helmet 77
• Won a one-against-five match against the Snowheel Knightclub, including Withered and Corrupted 81
• Training thrusts can destroy boulders and leave her training grounds heavily damaged 76 77

Lance Mastery

Bianca is highly proficient with heavy knight lances, wielding them with speed, precision, and enough control to incapacitate opponents without killing them 70 81.

• Handles lances intended for mounted charges as though they are weightless 70
• Can use thrusts, throws, shockwaves, and energy-wreathed strikes 74 81
• Used Abyss Flower to rapidly grind down a Catastrophe meteorite through repeated thrusts 88

Energy Barriers and Aerial Mobility

Bianca can manifest armor and energy constructs for high-speed flight and large-scale defense.

• Created a massive golden barrier around the Great Knight's Territory to shield it from meteor fragments, Originium dust, and later collateral damage 87 89

• Maintained the city's barrier after the battle and warned residents not to leave while Originium dust remained dangerous 89

• Treated Dudu's wounds gently with medicine 67
• Uses Abyss Flower's destructive power to break down Originium particles and crystals inside a patient's body 115
• Uses Flower's healing power between breakdowns to repair damage and prevent internal bleeding 115

Equipment

• Maria's forged lance — A heavy lance Maria Nearl crafted for Bianca despite sustaining injuries during its creation; Bianca promised to care for it 85.

• Abyss Flower — A weapon used in combat against the meteorite and in controlled Originium treatment 88 115.
• Spatial storage — Bianca can store and retrieve equipment, including Abyss Flower, from a private storage space 85 139.

Relationships

• Maria Nearl — Close friend. Their accidental meeting develops into mutual trust; Maria lends Bianca armor, forges her lance, and supports her matches, while Bianca encourages Maria's path as a craftswoman and prioritizes her safety 68 75 85.
• Zofia — Friend and mentor-like ally. Zofia tests Bianca in a spar, offers practical help, and later expresses interest in joining Bianca's knight order once it grows 70 84.
• Mobius — One of Bianca's connected other selves. Their conflicting values cause frequent arguments, particularly over Mobius's research requests and methods 67 76.
• Sakura — One of Bianca's connected other selves and a covert ally. Sakura provides intelligence, protects Bianca's friends from threats, and assists in eliminating Armorless Union attackers 80 82.
• Rita Rossweisse — Bianca's loyal adjutant. Rita reunites with her after the Great Knight's Territory crisis and later handles political and operational matters for her 91 92.
• Manner — Maria's uncle. He questions Bianca's intentions toward the Nearl family, then permits her to pursue justice and freedom in Kazimierz after hearing her resolve 90 91.
• Centaurea — An Armorless Union operative assigned to monitor Bianca. Bianca warns her not to cross her bottom line, while still showing concern for her safety 85 86.
• Dudu and her brother — Infected children Bianca treats and whose exclusion from competition helps motivate her campaign for Infected rights 66 67.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Knight Competition

Bianca enters the Knight Competition to challenge Kazimierz's unjust system from within and secure participation rights for Infected people 67 69. She rejects sponsorship and cooperation with Czarny and the Knights Association, refusing to become a tool of capital 78 79.

Her victories establish her as a major independent force:

Match	Result	Notes
Flameblade Melee points match	Victory	Defeats the Rusted Bronze Knight and the remaining competitors; earns 41 points and the public title “Radiant Knight” 74
First elimination match vs. Tytus Topola	Victory by concession	Tytus concedes after Bianca demonstrates overwhelming speed and stops her lance before his forehead 77
Team match vs. Snowheel Knightclub	Victory, one against five	Defeats five opponents alone, including the enslaved Sarkaz knights Withered and Corrupted 81
Special Championship vs. Sharphelm Knights	Unfinished / forfeited	Bianca defeats opponents before abandoning the match to respond to the Catastrophe 87 90

Immortal Blade Knights

When tournament regulations require her to join a knight order or family to enter the Major, Bianca rejects dependence on existing factions and founds the Immortal Blade Knights instead 83 86.

• The order is named after Bianca's former squad 86.
• Bianca personally screens recruits for character and intends to train members whose abilities are still uneven 86.
• After securing changes for Infected competitors, she publicly welcomes Infected knights into the order 92.
• The Blazing Axe Knight Dikaiopolis joins after his Infected status is exposed, followed by additional capable Infected knights 92.

Catastrophe and Sirin Incident

During the Special Championship, Bianca abandons the arena to protect the Great Knight's Territory from three incoming Catastrophe meteorites. She shields the city, destroys two meteors, and confronts the last directly 87.

After stopping and shattering the final meteor, she faces Sirin, identified by the system as a memory entity with the memories and abilities of the Second Herrscher. Bianca blocks Sirin's attacks, protects the city throughout their battle, and ultimately ends the crisis 88 89.

Reform of Infected Competition Rights

Bianca formally receives the title Radiant Knight at a public investiture ceremony. When Dikaiopolis is exposed as an Infected, she withdraws from the tournament and announces regulations that grant Infected people direct registration qualifications rather than forcing them into separate, lethal preliminary contests 92.

Her reforms gain support from the Grand Knight Council and compel the Commercial Union to compromise under the pressure of her demonstrated power 92.
