Blanche Dubois

Blanche Dubois is a character in Season 4 of Destined.

Blanche is a new doctor at San Francisco Memorial Hospital, as well as the obstetrician-gynecologist of Bianca Wright-Halliwell and Prue Halliwell. She is also good friends with Eric Sullivan, which could cause trouble for his relationship with Charlotte Halliwell.

Early Life
Blanche is the second born daughter of two wealthy lords in the North Land of Franks, and the younger sister of Ruby. Due to Ruby's dark magic and strange antics, her parents feared that their second-born child would share the same affliction as their first-born. However, Blanche was strikingly different than her sister from the moment she was born. She was described as having blonde hair, ''Blonder as the sun. Her lips were rose. Pinker as the most beautiful of the roses. And her soul filled with the purest kind of magic."''.

Unlike her sister, Blanche was adored by the members of her village and loved deeply by her parents. She helped her fellow villagers and everyone seemed to be enchanted by her. When Ruby turned seventeen, she murdered the sisters' parents and turned her anger to Blanche for ruining her life. Blanche escaped and began to study magic and spells, and learned that she and Ruby were equals in their power.

She returned to the village years later, and they faced off in the ruins of their childhood home. The two sisters were launched into a powerful battle, which Blanche ultimately won. She stripped her sister of her powers and locked her away in a tower that she cloaked in good magic.

Later Years
Blanche moved to San Francisco in 2035, from an unknown city where she became a doctor at San Francisco Memorial.

Season 4
In All Halliwells Gathered Together, Blanche is seen in San Francisco Memorial Hospital talking to Eric Sullivan about Prue's pregnancy.

In Pardon My Past: Alex's Untold Story, Blanche performs an ultrasound on Bianca and informs them that the baby is healthy. She also assures her that the hormonal changes and mood-swings she is experiencing are normal and will fade after the first trimester passes. She also states that she wants to see them in the fifteenth week, and asks them to talk to Prue about returning for her check-up. When she leaves the room, Chris and Bianca discuss the aspect of them and Prue having a magical baby, and how that could jeopardize their secret as the babies don't have control over their powers yet. Blanche is listening from the other side of the door throughout this conversation but leaves before they could notice anything.

In The Silence of The Order, when Prue is brought to San Francisco Memorial Hospital due to abdominal pain due to her pregnancy, Blanche reminded her of the health risks of having a child with someone so genetically similar. While it is safer for them due to them being related via females, there are still risks that Prue may experience. She reminds her that she should see a doctor, and Prue originally declines but Jo volunteers Prue for an appointment. Blanche is happy to hear this and starts scheduling. She is later mentioned in a conversation between Eric and Charlotte, as the latter is a little jealous of Eric's relationship with Blanche, as the pair is on a first-name basis already. However, Eric assures her that their relationship is platonic and he has no romantic feelings for her.
