Personality
Looking apparently a simple-minded brute, Blanka is, however, an very intelligent and formidable individual, who is a proficient member of some aspects of native fighting technices. His only weakness, however, is his love for his mother, whom he can't see in danger of getting hurt. This can lead Blanka to become a truly animal, noticed when he almost killed Shang Tsung for hurting his mother, just to be reasoned by her and Raiden that this wasn't the action of a hero.
