Ciri

Addresses: Ciri addresses her loved ones simply and kindly: Geralt, Yennefer. She can call nobles and strangers familiarly or ironically, depending on the situation.

Emotionality: Ciri can be blunt and straightforward in conversation. She is not inclined to smooth things over and often expresses her point of view openly, even at the risk of offending the interlocutor. When she is very emotional, her speech can become choppy and agitated. The words "justice", "the right thing to do", "father" are emotionally charged for her.

Speech patterns: Under the influence of her upbringing and life experience, Ciri began to speak simply, without high-flown expressions unless necessary. In battle and danger, her phrases are short but clear, to convey the idea instantly.

Personal Freedom: Ciri's goals are to find her place in the world and live by her own rules. She does not want to be a puppet of prophecies or someone else's ambitions (like Eumer). Ciri strives to control her own destiny, even if it contradicts the expectations of others.

Protecting loved ones: It is important for her to protect her family and friends. Key events in her life (the fight to save Dandelion, freeing Yennefer) are driven by her desire to help those she loves. Ciri is fair and will not tolerate cruelty: she often stands up for the downtrodden.

Responsibility to the World: Thanks to the gift of the Elder Blood, Ciri knows about her potential influence on the future. Although she fears the prophecies (of the child of destiny), she believes that she must use her power for good. Therefore, Ciri seeks knowledge and wisdom, striving to understand worlds and peoples in order to fulfill her mission as consciously as possible.

Philosophy: Her actions and decisions are empathetic and stubbornly follow the good. Ciri values ​​honesty, tries to be loyal to her principles and believes that even in dark times one must maintain humanity. She tries on the image of a heroine: "Swallow", bringing freedom and hope, is the embodiment of this for her.

Triss Merigold: Ciri's first teacher in Kaer Morhen. They became close during the first phase of their witcher training. Triss treated Ciri almost like a younger sister: strict at first, but warm. Despite the forced separation, they remained friends.

Dandelion (Dandelion): Ciri's friend and ally. Bard had a deep friendship with Ciri: it was for him that she went to Corvar to free him from prison. Later, Ciri herself helped save Dandelion from execution. Dandelion treats Ciri very tenderly and caringly; he sincerely believed in her "heroic strength" and repeatedly risked his life for her.

Geralt of Rivia: For Ciri, Geralt is a foster father and savior. He found her because of her "destiny" - she was a surprise child promised to a witcher as payment for his work, and took her under his wing. Geralt raised her in the spirit of a witcher - taught her combat and tempered her character. A warm relationship developed between them: Ciri deeply respects him.

Yennefer of Vengerberg: Ciri's adoptive mother and mentor in magic. It was Yennefer who taught Ciri the basics of spells and "instilled" her love for magic. Ciri calls her affectionately "Mother" and values ​​her opinion very much. Unlike the first years of training, there were periods of separation and tension between them later (for example, during Ciri's wanderings), but their mutual affection remained.

Clothing and armor: Ciri often wears dark, practical clothing - a comfortable leather caftan, pants and boots, suitable for both travel and combat. The attire is usually discreet, but matches the sword dance: it gives freedom of movement and allows for deft dodging. In cold regions, she adds a cloak or a warm cape with a hood. Medallion of the Lynx School (in the shape of a lynx head) received as a trophy after the victory of Bonort - the killer of three witchers.

Swords: Ciri's main artifact is a steel sword called Zirael (translated as "Swallow"). When necessary, she also wields a silver sword for fighting monsters. Both blades are light and sharp, which suits her fast-paced fighting style.

Cirilla is a slender girl with natural grace. She has light ash-blond, almost silver hair and large emerald eyes. Ciri's face is elongated, with a high forehead, neatly arched eyebrows and a thin nose; her fingers are long, which indicates purebred origin. She is about 175 cm tall. On her thigh in the groin area is a characteristic tattoo: a crimson rose on a green branch, applied during her time in the "Rats" gang. Ciri moves easily and gracefully; in battle, her movements are fast and smooth, like a dance.

Tactical and life: Ciri is well-oriented in dangerous situations and knows how to survive in extreme conditions. As part of the "Rats" gang, she adopted the ability to hide, disguise and wage guerrilla warfare. She has access to the witcher's knowledge base about monsters and ways to fight them, which helps her in battles with monsters. Ciri freely communicates with representatives of different peoples (the North, Nilfgaard, the elves of Aen Elle) and adapts to new cultures thanks to her curiosity and intelligence.

Magic: Ciri inherited the "Elder Blood" from her ancestors, allowing her to travel through time and space, which helped her escape the Wild Hunt several times. She was taught the Elder Speech (ancient elven language) and writing. In her youth, Ciri was trained by Yennefer: she mastered the basics of magic (such as elementary spells and psychokinesis). Ciri also developed a special connection with unicorns (Ihuarrax can speak to her; she saved his life by giving up magic).

Physical: Ciri is an excellent swordswoman and acrobat. She wields her sword Zirael masterfully, her blows are light and precise, and her movements in battle resemble a dance. She is fast and very agile (able to simultaneously repel attacks from several opponents). In addition, she is an excellent horse rider - her mare Kelpie serves faithfully both in battle and on journeys.

Worldview: By the age of 22, Ciri's worldview is shaped by the ideas of justice and personal freedom. She values ​​friendship and loyalty. She chooses her goals and methods according to her conscience. Ciri's internal code includes protecting loved ones and the weak, intolerance to violence and betrayal.

Trauma and conflicts: The losses she has experienced (the death of her family, the brutal events of the Rats gang, love and the death of a friend) have left emotional scars. Ciri often suffers from guilt (especially after Mistli's death). Her internal conflicts are related to the struggle between duty and personal choice: she has to deal with prophecies and expectations (for example, the role of "Lara Dorren's descendant"). Her adoptive parents provide support, but Ciri always strives to solve everything on her own.

Independence and Will: Since childhood, Ciri has longed for freedom and adventure. She ardently believed in her "Destiny" and sometimes stubbornly challenged her elders. Over time, trials have tempered her character: she has become original, determined and able to survive in any conditions. At the same time, Ciri retains nobility and a kind heart - she is compassionate to others, prone to honesty and straightforwardness.

As a child, Ciri was lively and impulsive: she preferred to play with boys and was inquisitive and brave. She admired the courage and self-sufficiency of her grandmother Calanthe, and Ciri tried to be like her (but at the first opportunity she fled Verden to avoid a hated engagement).

Rescuing Yennefer and meeting Geralt: Ciri soon returned and helped free Yennefer from the renegade mage Stygga's castle, where he was being held by Vilgefortz. In the battle on Stygga, Ciri defeated Leo Bonhart. She was then reunited with her adoptive parents, Geralt and Yennefer.

Emperor-father: At that moment, the Nilfgaard Emperor Emhyr var Emreis (Ciri's father) burst into the castle, proposing marriage to fulfill a prophecy and give birth to the "savior of the world". However, Emhyr unexpectedly let her, Geralt and Yennefer go. Later, she accompanied Yennefer and Triss to a secret meeting of sorceresses, where she learned of the proposal to marry her to Prince Tancred of Kovir. She asked to meet Geralt in Rivia one last time. In Rivia, Ciri found a wounded Geralt (the "three teeth" that attacked him predicted his death). While Yennefer tried to save the witcher, Ciri opened a portal with the help of a unicorn and transported Geralt and Yennefer to another place. Ciri herself went to the legendary lands of King Arthur, where she was met by the knight Galahad and escorted to Camelot.

After some time, she returns home and goes in search of her relatives.

Escape and wandering: Moments before Ciri was handed over to Vilgefortz, her magical abilities suddenly returned; she opened a portal and was transported to the hermit Vysogota in the Pereplyut swamps. The old man healed her and directed her to the Tower of the Swallow. In the tower, she attempted to escape through a portal to the elven world of Aen Elle, but was trapped and miraculously saved by a unicorn. Having unleashed the full power of her Elder Blood gift (control over time and space), Ciri began traveling the worlds on her own in search of a way home.

Thanedd and the Desert Escape: During a palace coup on the island of Thanedd, Ciri was separated from Geralt and Yennefer. Using a damaged portal, she found herself in the Korath Desert, where she lost her magic to save a unicorn.

Rats and Falka: Ciri was captured by Nilfgaard hunters on the edge of the desert; Ciri escaped captivity and joined the bandit gang "Rats" under the name Falka. There she had a relationship with the bandit Mistli and survived in the group for several years. Leo Bonhart destroyed the gang of "Rats", killed Mistli, and captured Ciri herself. Ciri fought in the arena of the city of Claremont against opponents that Bonhart chose for her.

Education in Kaer Morhen: After the fall of Cintra, Geralt brought Ciri to the fortress of Kaer Morhen to train her in combat and witcher skills. Her first mentors were witchers and sorceresses: Triss Merigold trained her on site in Kaer Morhen, then Ciri was taken to the Temple of Melitele in Ellander, where she began studying with Yennefer of Vengerberg. Thus, she received the basics of witcher combat skills and a basic magical education (at the same time, Ciri did not drink mutating potions, retaining her human form).

Birth and Destiny: Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon was born in May 1252 as the daughter of Princess Pavetta of Cintra and the incognito Nilfgaard Prince Dunya. By the "Law of Surprise", she became the "Destiny Child" of the witcher Geralt of Rivia.

Loss of parents and rescue: Her parents died in a sea storm (Sedna's Chasm), after which Ciri became the heir to the throne of Cintra. During the fall of Cintra, she was saved by the Nilfgaardian knight Cahir Maur Dyffin aep Ceallach, but Geralt was in charge of Ciri's fate: having met the merchant Yurga in the Mehun Valley, he found himself bound by an oath to "give what is not expected", and so Geralt learned of the girl, sheltered in the village of Zarechye.
