the DEVIL IS BACK KIDS!! under the cut is all her info + where she’s been since her departure and what’s happened since - ENJOY!
bianca has always been the kind of girl who took whatever it was that she wanted with a smile - not caring who she had to step on or stab in the back to do so. she was born cold - with a complete lack of empathy and a lack of the ability to love and care for anyone but herself.
born to ali shafai - the heir to an over one hundred and twenty year old luxury jewelry company and daphne jacobs, a supermodel turned new york city socialite, being their only child, bianca never wanted for anything.
she grew up on manhattan’s upper east side in a lavish park avenue penthouse with central park views, attended the most elite private schools and was absolutely spoiled by her parents, who didn’t know how to show love with anything other than money.
she watched her father scheme million dollar deals and her mother claw her way up to the top of the upper east side’s social hierarchy and because of this, she learned manipulation and deceit from the masters.
it started off petty - revealing her peers’ secrets, framing her classmates for things they didn’t do, seeing how much she could steal without getting caught, just to test the limits as to how much she could get away with.
her parents caught on to what she was doing and instead of scolding her, they were immensely proud and decided to put her skills to use by making her become an actress.
at age nine, she landed the role of matilda and her career immediately sky-rocketed.
she immediately gained a reputation in the industry as wise beyond her years, as a true natural talent and went on to land successful role after role.
her and her parents did whatever they had to do to make bianca a star - from bribing and blackmailing directors to taking down the competition, the shafai’s knew no limits and no boundaries and they always reigned successful, no matter how dirty they played.
she was incredibly young when she got into the world of partying, sex and drugs. she became an incredibly overindulgent person, doing whatever she wanted, whoever she wanted, whenever she wanted, without a single care for the consequences.
although she had a heavy filming schedule, bianca attended a prestigious upper east side prep school - and of course, used her charms and wit to bribe her way through high school, even though she was barely there.
from sleeping with professors to going so far as to blackmail her classmates into dressing as her to sit in a take tests as her, bianca had the entire school wrapped around her finger. and although she truly didn’t need to attend high school because of how famous she was, she enjoyed the power and simply looked at it as a playground to cause trouble in during her down time from filming.
she began taking on edgier roles and became known as hollywood’s ‘bad girl’ - very much along the lines of angelina jolie & megan fox.
however, she puts on the role of a sweet, humble actress in front of the cameras well, and only those who were unlucky enough to be swept up by her hurricane known just how terrible the girl can be.
at twenty two years old, the brunette is still just as evil and cunning as she has always been, some may even argue a bit sociopathic. but she has not a care in the world. she continues booking lead role after lead role, and nothing can tear her down. and if anyone tries? she’ll take them down first.
PRESENT DAY
after a wild night out partying in the bahamas on the cruise trip, bianca didn’t realize until the morning that she was waking up next to a danish prince. sure, he was double her age, but a prince was a prince and bianca wanted a crown on her head.
so, she put on the charms and made the man fall madly in love with her, so much so that their whirlwind romance was on the cover of every magazine and it wasn’t long before the two were married in an elaborate ceremony.
bianca immediately left the acting world behind and moved to denmark to live as a princess and she thought it was going to be everything she ever wanted...or so she thought.
the fun, carefree, full of life prince she had married immediately turned cold and began trying to control bianca’s every move and action and bianca was never a girl that stood for being controlled.
so, she called for help from a familiar friend of hers to take care of the prince for her.
in the wake of the prince’s death, bianca has mastered the craft of being a scorned and broken widow, framing the lowly maid for his murder.
of course, she made sure his will was updated before he passed, pretending to be pregnant with his child so that everything was left to her. naturally, she said she ‘miscarried’ after his death due to her grief.
his family loved her and even though the prince has died, still gave her the title of duchess of denmark to keep in his honor.
now, bianca has made her return to hollywood and is determined to claw her way back to the top.
