âThis town has truly faced many tragedies. Rest assured, we are doing everything in our power to get to the bottom of things.â
Beautiful, intelligent, tough, and slightly high maintenance are words that you would commonly hear to describe Bianca Averina. While she may not look like much, this girl is really a force to be reckoned with. Though if you are on her good side, you will find that she is actually a pretty loyal and all around fun person. To look at the successful and confident young woman, you would never imagine that she has come from tragedy, but truthfully that is all she has ever really known.
Born in Russia as the days of the Soviet Union were coming to a close, Bianca was the daughter of a Russian soldier and a Hungarian noblewoman, though you wouldnât guess it now as she only has a faint trace of an accent as she hasnât lived in her mother country since she was five. At that time, both her parents, and her older sister, were murdered as the young girl watched from the place sheâd been hiding in a cupboard. A neighbour found her there in tears later and brought her to an orphanage. She was soon sent to England and grew up in Newport living a pretty comfortable life with her adoptive family, though she has never quite gotten the memory of her parents murder out of her head.
Upon graduating high school, Bianca immediately entered the police academy and soared through her training with ease. She was sent to join the team in Baberton almost immediately, a few years back, to assist in the work on the Pierce case as well as other unexplained events that soon began to take place. She serves as the teams Public Relations Liaison in the public eye while working as an investigator behind the scenes. She knows there has to be an answer somewhere and one thing about Bianca is that she is always determined to succeed.
As a rookie, and a young woman, Bianca sometimes has to work twice as hard to prove herself to the men she works with, though she typically gets along with all of them. Particularly Leo Collins seeing as they have similar do whatever it takes to find the answers strategies. Sometimes she likes to tease the others by saying that they are the only two actually working, a taunt that is not often appreciated but does the job of setting them all moving once again if thereâs any truth to it. Personally, Bianca has no connection to Annie Pierce or anyone else affected by the recent events of this town. She is just here to do her job as both a liaison and an investigator. The satisfaction of landing a killer behind bars is really her only motivation.
In the past, Bianca has often acted as a vigilante and taken justice into her own hands. In high school she tracked down and shot and killed a man who had sexually assaulted several other young girls in the town she grew up in. Then at the age of twenty, she returned to Russia, found the man who murdered her parents, and shot him as well. She was never caught as these deaths werenât really investigated anyway, everyone was glad they were dead. Should the need arise, Bianca is not afraid to turn vigilante once again.
At the age of five, no matter how traumatizing, what she remembers most about that day is how she felt. Terrified, helpless, and alone. Over the years sheâs scarcely been able to retain a lot of the gruesome images of that day, or the sounds of the murder taking placeâaside from her quiet sobs and labored breathing. Maybe thatâs a blessing but sometimes she wishes the opposite were true. Survivors guilt fuelled her, and her conscience remained plagued by a heavy sentiment: Bianca barely remembered the most terrible thing that had ever happened to her.
Is in possession of an illegal firearm. She got hold of it in Russia and has had it ever since. She isnât trained to carry and sheâs not part of the armed unit but sheâs not scared to use it if need be. Sheâs done it before, after all.
