Bianca Versace

Unlike Selena, who learned her craft from a series of teachers with dubious reputations, Bianca was born into a family of Italian Witches. Like a good daughter, Bianca learned her craft from the women in her family however she never showed as much interest in their witchcraft as she did in their family business.

The Versace family owned and operated the Midvale Fair and was successful enough to send Bianca away to business school to get her BA in Business Management. However, unknown to her, by the time she graduated from college the family business was bankrupt.  Despite her education, Bianca was unable to save the family business from failing. However, knowing the value of the land on which the Fair stood Bianca took on several jobs to ensure that the land stayed in her family’s name.

After her parent’s death, Bianca formulated a plan to convert the fun-house into apartments. She found an investor and construction began but never finished. Desperate to keep her family’s land, Bianca moved into the funhouse and decided to live there as she tried to complete the project. It took Bianca two years working two full time job to complete and furnish one apartment.

Despondent with her lot in life, Bianca began seeking spiritual fulfillment and looked to her roots. She found an active chapter of the Psychical Research Society of America (PRSA) in Midvale and began attending meetings. It was there that Bianca met and subsequently became friends with Selena Lionheart.

Bianca admired Selena’s confidence and lust for life. She re-energized Bianca’s spirit and gave the confidence to attempt to complete converting the fair grounds into apartments. Unhappy with her then living arrangements with her mentor, Nigel, Selena moved in with Bianca at the funhouse-apartment.

Bianca taught Selena what she knew about Stregheria (Italian Witchcraft) and even allowed Selena access to her family’s extensive occult collection of Grimoires and personal magical diaries. In return Selena made a decent enough living to cover their expenses by telling fortunes out of an office she set up on the fairgrounds.

When Selena came into the possession of an alien artifact that greatly amplified her powers to a considerable degree Bianca tagged along sharing in the spoils. Selena was nearly successful in obtaining world domination, but was defeated by a Supergirl who was sent to our dimension to retrieve the artifact. When Selena was defeated and banished to the Phantom Zone, Bianca shared her fate as well.
