“I just. . . I'm tired of being left out. I know it's partially my fault, because I've been a jerk to you a few times. But I'll never do that again. And I have a special ability now. And I really want to help with whatever you and Keefe are working on.”

—Biana Vacker, in Book 3: Everblaze

Biana Vacker (Bee-ah-nuh Vack-er) is the only daughter and youngest child of Alden and Della Vacker. She lives in Everglen with her older brother, Fitz. Alvar, her eldest brother, moved out before the first book. In Keeper of the Lost Cities: Everblaze, she manifests as a Vanisher like her mother; Della Vacker and oldest brother; Alvar Vacker.

The name "Biana" means "White" & "Fair."

As of Flashback, Biana is a Level Four at Foxfire. A lot of people call her "Prissy-pants" and other mean names out of jealousy. Biana used to have a best friend named Maruca, but Maruca got mad when Biana became friends with Sophie. Maruca is later seen as Stina's new good friend.

Appearance

Biana is said to be strikingly beautiful. She has long, wavy chocolate brown hair and bright teal eyes like her brother Fitz and her father. She also has fair skin.

Many boys at Foxfire are said to have crushes on her based on her appearance, including Jensi. Sophie describes her as being very alluring, flawless, glamorous, and perfect. She also thinks that Biana takes after her mother, Della Vacker, who is also quite stunning. She has a lot of "girly" things such as hair curlers, lip gloss, jeweled combs, beauty elixirs, and fancy dresses. Biana adores dressing up Sophie and giving others (including Iggy) makeovers.

In Nightfall, Vespera gave her thin scars on one side of her face. (Edaline says the scars are almost invisible, but still there. She took elixirs to make them fade away.) Vespera also gave her scars all over her neck and shoulders. Since then, Biana started wearing clothes with sleeves to cover up the scars, however she stopped doing that by the middle of Flashback.

Personality

Biana is very loyal. She can be wary of people who she doesn't know very well or trust. But once you're her friend, Biana will become extremely loyal to you. She’s also a very fun person, and outgoing person. Many people have tried to use Biana to get to her brother Fitz Vacker, because of this Biana dislikes Sophie at first, assuming she was doing the same.

Biana is also very brave, as shown in Nightfall when she attacked Vespera and Fintan. Since she is extremely loyal, she will fight to the death for the people she loves. She may be girly, but she is definitely not delicate.

When nervous or worried Biana twists her fingers like she is hoping for something, kind of like how Sophie Foster pulls eyelashes.

”Ode to Biana Vacker, that brave beautiful girl. She may be girly, but is as strong as a pearl!”

Special Ability

Vanisher

Being a Vanisher, Biana has the power of invisibility. A lot of the time, she uses it to sneak away from her goblin bodyguard, Woltzer. This often results in earning Woltzer a lecture from Sandor, if he (Sandor) is present, about not watching his charge carefully enough. When enhanced by Sophie, she can make up to three people (including Sophie) invisible with her. This comes in handy when it helps the group sneak into Nightfall.

In The Books

At the start of Keeper of the Lost Cities, Biana dislikes and avoids Sophie. Her father, Alden, later makes her become friends with Sophie so that she will go over to their house more often and Alden can watch her. Biana ends up actually liking Sophie and they become true friends. She often plays Base Quest with Sophie, Keefe, and Fitz.

In Exile, she was depressed after Alden's mind is broken and didn't want to see Sophie after that. She was still upset and blaming Sophie was the easiest thing to do. She also did not appreciate Sophie coming to Alden's funeral. In the end, she hugs Sophie and apologizes for her actions. When Sophie sees Biana she is mostly crying or not speaking while Fitz makes rude comments.

In Everblaze she manifests as Vanisher, like her mom and brother, Alvar. She manifests earlier and stronger than Alvar, being able to fully disappear and reappear earlier.

She goes to join the Black Swan in Neverseen and shows that there is more to her than beauty. Biana is very hardcore and has been taught how to defend herself by her parents. She also respects Della as a mother and a role model for Vanishing and aspires to be as good as her someday.

In Lodestar she helps with deciphering codes and spends time at the Exillium sessions.

In Nightfall, she is crucial to sneaking them into places because with Sophie's Enhancing, she can make up to two people vanish.(Not including herself) She also gets severely injured with shards of a mirror when she attempts attacking Vespera and Fintan by herself.

Relationships

Fitz is Biana's older brother. She is always described as Fitz's younger sister, but in truth, has a unique personality and doesn't need her brother to shine. In the first book, she explains that many girls try to become friends with her to get to Fitz. When Sophie and Fitz returned from the healing center she hugs Fitz. In Neverseen, when Fitz is injured during the fight at Exile, she helps with his treatment by providing him with something to vomit in. Fitz is usually described as being very protective of Biana, and the two siblings are known to tease each other a lot.

Alvar is Biana's eldest brother who is also a Vanisher. He's the one who tells her about what happened to Alden in Exile. In Neverseen, after the crash of the bridge in Ravagog, Biana screams hysterically when she doesn't see Alvar and hugs him tightly when he reappears. In Neverseen, when Alvar is revealed to be one of the longest-standing members of the rebel group, the Neverseen, Biana is deeply hurt and asks him "How could you?" and his expression softens. At Lady Gisela's Nightfall the group found Alvar cut up and bruised. Biana, while using her telekinesis to bring him out, banged him against every wall, showing her distaste for him joining the Neverseen. In Flashback, she warmed up to Alvar when he lost his memories quicker than Fitz, but goes back to hating him once he recovers his memories.

Della is Biana's mother. They both like to shop, are described to be beautiful and are Vanishers. Biana is revealed to respect Della a lot in Neverseen, and she wishes she could one day be as good as her mother at vanishing.

Alden is Biana's father. He made her befriend Sophie so that he could watch over her. When his mind was broken she became very sad and would not talk to anyone. It is shown that she loves him very much, especially in Neverseen, when she wraps Alden in a big hug after the ordeal in Ravagog.

Sophie is Biana's best friend and vice-versa. She originally became friends with Sophie because her father told her to, but then she begins to like Sophie. When Stina tells Sophie that Biana was friends with Sophie just because Alden told her to, Sophie became very angry at Biana and stormed away before she was able to apologize. She soon was able to make it up to Sophie afterward. Sophie has borrowed some of Biana's dresses a couple of times. They usually play Base Quest along with Fitz and Keefe.

When Alden's mind was broken, Biana refused to speak to Sophie, along with her brother, Fitz. Right before Alden was healed, however, Biana apologized for her actions, saying that she didn't mean to hurt Sophie. The two became best friends again.

In Everblaze, when Sophie comes to visit Everglen, she is surprised to find out that Biana is a Vanisher. Later, she convinces Sophie to let her into her "Black Swan problems". When Sophie is said to be in danger, Biana is in the group who goes to find her at Mr. Forkle's hideout. She fights off the main attacker that keeps Sophie captive and frees her. While Sophie was being sentenced to the ability restrictor, Biana was hidden in Magnate Leto's office as witness to all their friends. She heard all the ostensible statements the councillors directed straight to to Sophie and the Black Swan. She also witnessed what Sophie bravely did when the councillors threatened Dex and his family. When Sophie is planning on escaping from the Lost Cities to hide with the Black Swan, Biana is one of her friends who willingly accompanied her on her journey.

During Neverseen, Biana is the one who accompanies her to the neutral territory of Brackendale. And when they accidentally bump into one of the members of the Neverseen, Ruy Ignis, she was the one who threw her Black Swan pendant at the force field he had created and distracted him so that the two of them could escape.

Lady Sassyfur is Biana's stuffed animal companion. Originally being named Betty-the-Yeti by Elwin but later changed to her current name Lady Sassyfur by Biana. Elwin gave Lady Sassyfur to her during her healing from her injuries from Vespera.

Jensi is Biana's friend. He seems to admire Biana a great deal, and he may have a crush on her. He doesn't see her anywhere other than at Foxfire usually, but he has expressed concern when she isn't there and is very happy and excited for her when she manifests as Vanisher. However, Biana doesn't seem to return his feelings.

Keefe is Biana's friend. He usually plays Base Quest with her, Sophie, and Fitz. Keefe once kissed Biana "mostly on the cheek" for a dare, because Biana turned her head at the last moment. In Neverseen, Keefe drapes his arm around Sophie and Biana just stares at it. Biana is holding Keefe's arm on the cover of Neverseen. Biana blushes a bright pink when she announces that she agrees with Keefe about the naked statue, which may be because of the statue itself or just the fact that she's agreeing with Keefe. In Nightfall, Sophie believes that Biana's small crush on Keefe is starting to fade, although she has no evidence of this happening. Keefe admits to flirting with girls around her to give her a subtle hint that he isn't interested. Later in Nightfall, Biana says that sometimes you just "have to admit that what you want just... isn't going to happen," which Sophie suspects to mean that she has gotten over Keefe. Biana seems to not care or be jealous when Keefe flirts with Sophie and doesn't quickly agree with whatever he says, evidence that her crush is fading/has faded.

Maruca was Biana's best friend until Biana became friends with Sophie. She told Stina the reason Biana became friends with Sophie, which temporarily ended their friendship. In Book 5 Maruca seems to want her friendship with Biana back, but doesn't make a move to change that and Biana said that if she truly wants to be friends with her again she had to accept her friendship with Sophie.

Dex is one of Biana's best friends. In Lodestar they both were left out of a mission and became even closer because of it. Dex and Biana do prove to have friendly feelings for each other in Lodestar when Biana gives Dex a makeover. In Nightfall, Biana gives Dex an encouraging pep talk that Dex seems to enjoy.

Tam is shown to possibly have feelings for Biana. In Neverseen, after Keefe told him that the Foster Fan Club wasn't going to be accepting him, he "stole a glance" at Biana after he assured Sophie he was not romantically interested in her.

In Lodestar, Biana stated that she hadn't seen him in a long time, hinting that she missed him, in which Tam responded by shyly smiling at her, and reminding her that with the mandatory Exillium training ahead, they would see each other more often. Linh also stated that Tam prefers brunettes, like Biana, after Marella shot him a flirty smile. Tam responded by asking Linh how she knew that, hinting that it may be true.

Although they have not had very many moments together, they still consider each other friends. Biana thinks Linh has really cool hair and accepts her to be a good friend. Several times when Tam tries to protect Linh from her power, Biana insists to him that he is underestimating his sister.

Stina is Biana's enemy. She is also the one who tells Sophie that Biana only became friends with her because Alden told her to. Stina is constantly mean to people at Foxfire.

Woltzer is Biana's assigned bodyguard who often has many difficulties with keeping up with her since Biana is known to vanish a lot, which makes his job ten times harder. Woltzer often appears weary about having such a hard-to-keep-up-with-charge.

Iggy isn't Biana's pet, but she has shown that she adores the mischievious little imp. In Neverseen, Biana asks Sophie if she can take care of Iggy and let him sleep in her room. She also tries to turn the imp into a vegetarian. Biana is constantly dying Iggy's fur different colors using Dex's elixirs.

Character Bio by Shannon Messenger

Biana may seem like the Princess of Foxfire Academy—but don’t let the perfect hair and fashionable clothes fool you. Beneath the make-up and perfectly coordinated accessories is a fearless fighter. And while she may not have manifested her special ability when we first meet her, that never stops her from taking on Fitz and Keefe in a game of base quest, (and no, it’s not just because she thinks Keefe is cute—though that definitely *does* help). She’s also an incredibly loyal friend—once she gets to know someone—and will do whatever it takes to protect the people she cares about.[1]
