Bianca Whitaker, not to be confused with Bianca from Black and White (although they look pretty similar and are just as stupid at times), is the blonde daughter of an Innkeeper. As a combatant, she is the balanced of the three, which unfortunately amounts to pointlessness in this game. She's your "childhood friend", and I put that in quotes because that's the game's words. | [[Image:DQ5_4.png|thumb|right|Concept art of the wives.]] Bianca Whitaker, not to be confused with Bianca from Black and White (although they look pretty similar and are just as stupid at times), is the blonde daughter of an Innkeeper.

Remember when you were very little? No? So you know how you basically don't remember that time when you were say, before the age of 3 or 4, correct? Yeah, that's when she was most familiar with you. Now imagine you being a little older, say 6, you don't remember a thing, having one playday with her involving ghostbusting. Then you never see her again for 10 years after that. That is what this game considers a childhood friend. And you have to get married, the game tries its damndest to guilt trip you into marrying her in ways that seem almost surreal. | Remember when you were very little? No?

* She's the canon wife: Nera and Deborah don't appear on any official material as the wife, nor do the kids appear with hair other than blonde (they have the same hair color as the chosen wife). The game even defaults to her if you use cheats to get through without getting married. | * She's the canon wife: Nera and Deborah don't appear on any official material as the wife, nor do the kids appear with hair other than blonde (they have the same hair color as the chosen wife).

And yes, due to the nature, that pretty much amounts to talking about ghostbusting to make Egon himself regret inventing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator. | ||
* There is a sex scene with her if you stay in her family's old inn after marriage, but before going to Gotha. It's not much, but it's better than a Bioware sex scene (not that it's a feat). | * There is a sex scene with her if you stay in her family's old inn after marriage, but before going to Gotha.
