Bianca (Unova)

Bianca (Japanese: ベル Beru) is one of two friends/rivals the main character has in Pokémon Black and White. All three of them reside in Nuvema Town. Bianca is the rival who picks the starter Pokémon with the type disadvantage to your chosen Pokémon. Even though her dad rages over the idea of Bianca having a Pokémon journey, she goes on one anyway, thinking that she'll grow stronger as a person and a trainer. She often helps Professor Juniper with her studies. She reveals that one of the things she would aspire to be would be a model like Elesa.

Summary
Bianca is a cheerful girl, usually seen wearing a white skirt and sporting a green hat. Despite being indecisive at times, she has a strong side which manifests when she goes on a Pokémon journey without her father's consent. At first, she worries about being weak and wonders what to do in her life. Later on, she grows in confidence and accepts that she'll never be the strongest Trainer. She is shown to be very protective, volunteering as a bodyguard for various characters, including Professor Juniper at Chargestone Cave.

Pokémon Adventures Manga
Her starter is Oshawott. She catches a Litwick while in Castelia City but a Team Plasma Grunt liberates it from her.
