Blanche is a Greek demigod daughter of Iris.
History[]
Little is known about Blanche's history. She lives in Soho and, at one Camp Half-Blood campfire, caused a panic by turning everyone monochrome while telling a scary story.
The Senior Year Adventures[]
The Chalice of the Gods[]
Blanche is contacted by Annabeth to help with Percy's quest. She gives Percy, Annabeth, and Grover an introduction to her mother, the goddess Iris, at a farmer's market in the Upper West Side. In exchange, Grover agrees to model for her photography. It is mentioned by Percy that she currently has a one-artist show in a gallery in Tribeca.
Grover later shows Percy the pictures that Blanche had taken and Percy suspects that Grover's girlfriend Juniper is jealous because of how much Grover mentions Blanche. After Percy points this out, Grover promises to stop bringing up Blanche to Juniper.
Appearance[]
Blanche is described as wearing "a trench coat the color of the night, jeans, and tactical boots" along with "makeup that made her eyes sparkle like black diamonds." Her head is mostly shaved apart from a white-blonde topknot, and she carries a Nikon camera "the size of a shoe box" around her neck. She is also described as always dressing in monochrome.
Personality[]
Although her mother is Iris, goddess of the rainbow, Blanche prefers a monochrome aesthetic (Percy believes it's her novelty strategy to get her godly mother's attention by obsessing over something completely indifferent). She is considered "cool" by Grover, while Percy seems to find her intimidating. She has been known to deliberately cause panic (using a combination of scary stories and her demigod powers), then take photographs of the chaos, which she describes as "a fun evening."

Abilities[]
General Abilities[]
- ADHD: Like most demigods, she likely possesses inborn supernatural battle reflexes and senses that she uses to analyze the fighting style of her opponent.
- Dyslexia: Her brain is likely 'hardwired' for Ancient Greek.
- Photography: Blanche is noted to be a very skilled photographer, specializing in black-and-white photos of things such as "dried leaves, rotten tree stumps, and roadkill." She also takes photos of people, as seen when she asks Grover to model for her.
Demigod Abilities[]
- Photokinesis: Blanche has the ability to draw colors out of her surrounding environment and into herself, causing the environment to temporarily appear monochrome. This is likely considered a subset of photokinesis.
Etymology[]
- Blanche is a given name of French origin meaning "white" or "fair-colored". This may be a reference to her monochrome color palette.
