Bianca Abercrombie

Bianca Abercrombie is the main protagonist of the webcomic Clinic of Horrors by Merryweathery. She is a nurse who works at the Albright Clinic. A young nurse working at the Albright Clinic. Aloof and snarky with a hidden heart of gold, she faces all kinds of horrors in this Crapsack World with indifferent professionalism. Badass Adorable: Don't let her cute appearance fool you, Bianca is very much capable of defending herself. Brainwashed and Crazy: In Don't Worry Bianca gets infected with the mushroom parasite, causing her to become hostile toward Michaelis. Fortunately, Michaelis is able to cure her before she completely loses herself. Brutal Honesty: Bianca doesn't think much of feigning politeness or interest. People she talks to will always know exactly what she thinks of them, especially when it's not much. Celibate Hero: It makes a lot of sense given her personality, but the pride month illustration made it clear that Bianca identifies as asexual. Combat Medic: Bianca knows enough self-defense to hold a grown man down on the floor and she uses her syringes expertly. Conditioned to Accept Horror: In a city where Body Horror is linked to a lot of illnesses, you'd have to be. Deadpan Snarker: If Bianca ever cracks a joke, expect it to be a snarky one-liner at someone else's expense. Gamer Chick: She plays plenty of video games when she isn't busy with patients. Everyone Has Standards: Bianca’s more than used to seeing people stuck in horrible situations (or even actively choosing to stay in them), but the Eternal Gaming Café sickens her beyond words. Hyper-Competent Sidekick: While Dr. Albright is the head of the hospital, Bianca tends to do a majority of the work. Bianca often has to press him into doing something. I Have No Son!: Inverted. Bianca doesn't consider her mother as such anymore, likely due to how abusive she was when Bianca was still a child. I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough!: When Dr. Albright ends up giving her an energy drink, Bianca goes wild and supposedly has five and asks for a sixth before Dr. Albright decides to drag her out of the bar. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite how cold she acts around others, she shows to genuinely care about the livelihood of other people quite often. Knight in Sour Armor: Bianca is a Deadpan Snarker and never smiles, but she's also a very dedicated nurse and has stood up to defend innocent people more than once over the course of the comic. The Eternal Gaming Café Arc has her investigate and thoroughly chew out a gaming café that lets its customers play video games for days on end, without taking sufficient measures to ensure they'll stay in good health. She herself was neither one of its victims, nor does she really know anyone there. She just intervenes because it's the right thing to do and these people need help. Like Mother, Unlike Daughter: While Bianca and her mother are very similar on the surface, they couldn't be more different personality-wise. While Dr. Abercrombie is a Dr. Jerk with a Lack of Empathy, Bianca is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who genuinely cares about helping people and is only blunt when the situation calls for it. O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Bianca briefly becoming a Perpetual Smiler and optimistic after the mushroom infection gets to her is done to show just how much the Hive Mind warps the personalities of everyone part of it. Perpetual Frowner: Bianca's only expressions are variations of the same disinterested scowl. Though, given the fact that she lives in a rundown city crawling with monsters and diseases and spent her childhood with a mother who made it a misery, you can't really fault her for that. Pointless Band-Aid: Bianca has band-aids patched all over her arms. Nobody knows what they're for. Used to Be a Sweet Kid: She was a lot more cheerful as a child, but supposedly became the way she is because of her mother. Bianca is a nurse with pink hair and pink and blue eyes. Her nurse uniform is also pink. she has bandages all around her body, although the reason is unknown. Bianca is often considered to be a nice person by those who hang out with her in spite of her bitter attitude. They tend to be right as even though she acts all cold and distant, she is more than willing to step in and help those in need whether she is obligated to or not. She also keeps a diary to take note of the most important details that happened in her day. She is disgusted by how the Eternal Gaming Café runs their business, and she attempts to perk up a player who frequents there only to be devastated when he disconnects, knowing full well what just happened to him. It is notable that when she is in a bad mood, her eyebrows are more furrowed than usual.
