Mlle Blanche de Glace



Mlle (Mademoiselle) Blanche de Glace (often referred to as the Actress) is one of the playable characters in BioShock 2 Multiplayer. She speaks with a French accent. Blanche was the eighth character to be revealed in the Cult of Rapture's Faces of the Civil War, and is a bonus unlockable character.

"Mlle Blanche de Glace is an internationally acclaimed actress of rich emotional depth. She arrived in Rapture eager to captivate a new audience. A passionate woman with a history of torrid love affairs, she searches for a partner who can match her intensity and satisfy her appetites, but has yet to find one. She oscillates between periods of extreme reclusion, shunning all personal interaction, and times of exceptional sociability, when her hunger for contact seems insatiable."



Story
Blanche worked as a famous actress for many years, and it became a big part of her life. However, when the theaters closed following the 1958 New Year's Eve Riots, Blanche becomes miserable and lonely, which leads her to splicing, believing it will help her to "live like the others...in ignorance". Blanche soon finds herself participating in the Civil War, stating that this is real life, and that the theater was never this exciting.
