I'm spitballin' here. I've never had this problem before

Get some 80's ZZ Top videos and play them for her............ok, that was WAY out there.
ROFL! At least she'd be ok with big beards too!

Would it be possible for you to dress up in a long black coat? I did this with Jackson when he was at his worst in his fear stage. I dressed as a "scary guy," and he was terrified for about a minute and when he realized it was me, he was so happy! I gave him hugs, praise, and treats when he approached me calmly. I did this a few times and after a week or so of "practice" he had gotten alot better. I still put the "costume" on every once in a while to test him and he can approach me with confidence.

I would be a little cautious to do it if you actually think she might bite. But it helped for us, although Jackson was displaying fear, I'm not sure if what Bianca is doing is out of fear or not and Im not sure if this is the best way, but it did help for Jackson.
