* ButtMonkey: Her spells often go wrong or turn on her. She spends most of ''Year of the Dragon'' as an abused, bumbling minion to the Sorceress, and is on the recieving end of much of Spyro's ire.

* CoolBigSis: After her HeelFaceTurn, it's implied that Bianca started to view Spyro as like a surrogate little brother. her dialogue in the "Super Bonus Round" has her acting more doting and cheerful toward him as well being very eager to offer advise and assistance whenever the chance arrives.

* DisappointedByTheMotive: Turns against the Sorceress upon finding out that the latter had no intention of rectifying the Forgotten Realms' magic deficiency as she was lead to believe and instead planned to kill the baby dragons and use their wings to become immortal.
* DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Her original design had ''huge'' ones. They're exagerrated even further with her Japanese design in ''Season of Ice''.
* EarsAsHair: She has backwards ears, [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Cream the Rabbit style]]. One cutscene in ''Reignited Trilogy'' sees her nervously stroking one when The Sorceress gets angry.

** The other heroes are also ''much'' more willing to forgive her over their imprisonment than they were Moneybags, and even play ShipperOnDeck for Hunter (especially stands out for Agent 9, see FailedASpotCheck below). Downplayed for Spyro himself, who doesn't trust or sympathise with Bianca remotely until she fully turns sides (which she herself admits is justified).

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose]]. Interestingly, later portrayals of them in their franchises both show them getting over their fangirl natures; albeit Ember completely gets over her crush on Spyro whilst Amy retains her crush on Sonic and is just more subtle about it.

* SquishyWizard: In ''Crash Team Rumble''. She can land some mean kicks, and her Heal Aura magic allows her to replenish her health. She has a pitifully small health meter compared to everyone else however, meaning if an opponent catches her while recharging, she will go down fairly quick.

* DemotedToExtra: He only appears once in ''Enter the Dragonfly'', charging Spyro to cross a bridge which costs a piddling 200 gems. He's still mentioned in the manual despite this; he was likely intended for a larger role though the game was unfinished.

* FaceOfAThug: Sort of. While she had a relatively cuter appearance compared to the other bad guys, Bianca's original design had a perpetual huge glower, implying she was a lot meaner than she actually was. This stuck even after her HeelFaceTurn where she is unambiguously a NiceGirl. Subverted in ''Reignited'' where her expressions are ''much'' softer by default (though the concept art suggests she was to retain this initially, see above).

* {{Foil}}: To Crush and Gulp in ''Ripto's Rage''. All three are clumsy mistreated minions of their respective game's BigBad. However while Crush and Gulp are DumbMuscle that fight for Ripto for the early part of the game while he banters with Spyro, Bianca is a fairly intelligent SquishyWizard, and interacts with Spyro in her master's place while the latter remains dormant in her lair until the final boss. Crush and Gulp remain dopey loyal minions to Ripto despite all his beratings, while Bianca only puts up with the Sorceress out of good intentions, and angrily defects the moment she realises the latter doesn't share them.



* NonPlayerCharacter: Her only playable appearance is in multiplayer in ''VideoGame/SpyroOrangeTheCortexConspiracy''.

* NotWhatISignedOnFor: Bianca only stole the Dragon Eggs for the Sorceress to restore magic to the Forgotten Realms. When she discovers the Sorceress' real reason for wanting the eggs — to make an immortality potion from baby dragon wings — she promptly does a HeelFaceTurn and joins Spyro and his friends in trying to stop her.

* SquishyWizard: She can apply some powerful spells to aid Spyro, but isn't much of a fighter herself. She fails to battle Spyro effectively in ''Year of the Dragon'' and is dispatched in an offscreen CurbstompBattle by Red and the Sorcerer in ''Shadow Legacy''.

* EnemyToAllLivingThings: He brings it on himself, though it is noteworthy that ''Year of the Dragon'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes picks exceptionally docile characters for him to piss off]], such as the usually reserved Sgt. Byrd. Moneybags' ''only'' alliance is with money - he will gladly play both sides of a war in the name of profit, scam someone he's being paid to help out or screw them over the moment somebody offers '''more'' money.

Added DiffLines:

* SitcomArchNemesis: Nearly everyone hates him to comically violent levels, though Spyro and Shiela are the only individuals he has reciprocated a grudge against, inflating their tolls out of spite, or straight up conning them for a gag while mocking them over it.

Added DiffLines:

* ItsPersonal: While he is regularly snide and conniving to Spyro and his friends and is regularly beaten by them in response, he generally stays indifferent and purely money-motivated. He shows an unsually vengeful side towards Shiela in ''Season of Flame'' however, blockading all her levels one by one, and increasing the charge after Shiela insults him in response. The exchanges also heavily imply neither want to remotely negotiate with each other, using Spyro as a middle man.

* ArtEvolution: ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Spyro/comments/18g1zyt/a_direct_comparison_between_the_reignited_left/ gives a slight update]] to Elora's "Reignited" design. She appears slightly older, has a rounder chin, a more animal-like face, and her dress now covers the area between her legs.

* BlowYouAway: One of her attacks in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' is the Tornado Kick, which creates a mini-tornado that homes in on opponents and crates. The attack can be charged to make a larger tornado that does knockback.



* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Her design in the original [=PlayStation=] games is part human, part goat, part fox, and she only wears a green corset-like garment. Her redesign in ''Reignited Trilogy'' makes her look more like her species’ basis now with a leafy dress and armbands, but that still has nothing worn on the bottom.

Her ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' design averts this, as her dress covers more of her lower body.



* SheFu: She can attack using a Cartwheel Kick in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble''. This move can be chained into the Flash Kick, which does knockback and launches her skyward.



** The ''Reignited Trilogy'' amps up the ship-teasing. Spryo and Elora's interactions upon his meeting up with her in Summer Forest are more flirtatious in tone, and their expressions and body language more solidly indicate an interest in each other. The most overt display is at the ending of the ''Year of the Dragon'' finale cutscene; in this version, after Elora suggests she and Spryo watch the fireworks, they're shown sitting down together to do just that, with Spyro cuddling up to Elora and even placing his wing around her back.
