As we have Ciri in the Witcher 4 as main character I see a specific story the ultimate goal for her identity.

[Netaxus]

I see Ciri of Cintra like for elven and otherlings an possible heaven. In combination of the loge of witches I see a goal that sounds reasonable as Ciri is the heart of Yennefer and Triss, what means the loge loves her and they are politically active. It is in the core of the Wichter's friends being monsters and otherlings.

Such a story do I see as the most likely outcome. Temeria is taken and it is next to Sintra, Sodden, Brugge and Brokilon forest, this once Vassals of Temeria could be replaced to Cintra and build a new Kingdom. In all this political strives Adda could get relevant again too, she is thankful to the Witcher Gerald and could perform through the death of her father a personal change, in confrontation of the nothingness, the carelessness of the world. Later required to have forces with Temeria and Cintra force peace of battles against unwilling kings of this order.

Temeria and Adda are problematic, as she is describes as retarded, could caused seen as she never experienced human company and education. Later this state could be compensated as some kind of curse of vampiris, means extreme, or infinite, extended lifespan, which could compensate her early retardment. Attractivity vise it is bad as I know her out of Witcher one as relatively attractive. Could be nice having Adda with a primary transformation. It is thinkable that Adda could mild her curse absolutely and can then transform at will based on the old curse of a Strigoi. This could through the alternation of the curse be a Bruxe or Alb and cut the conversation to reactivate the curse too. Together it could build some kind of core of timely progression after Nilfgaard's domination of the south northern kingdoms.

Based on that I would build some Witcher castle like Kaer Morhen in the south east of Cintra in the Amell mountains. Why Cintra, Cintra is nearly the core of Nilfgaard and the northern Kingdoms, the center of the known world. One could fuse the Witcher schools into one and maybe because of a new sphere conjunction is prophesied, some dreams or the mums do some strange stuff. Ciri could only slowed down the white forest or change it to a normal conjugation that will bring the world once again into chaos. Problem is, there is no elder blood on the world anymore as Ciri gave it up with the inability to reproduce. The creation of a new elder blood!? A hundred fifty years preparation. All based on the old destine!?

I also think the idea of Adda evolving through her curse adds a fascinating layer, especially with the Strigoi/Bruxe/Alb transformation concept it’s a clever way to merge personal growth, supernatural elements, and long-term political consequences.

I more like the elements that you can build Temeria and Cintra as political force that you change the upper kingdoms and builds a playground for the witches loge, so all main characters are involved. Especially for the struggle balance with Nilfgaard as centralizing force.

No quotation answer:
We have Ciri as a "strong" women but we know all of there, Gerald von Riva, his social bounds are all known, nothing new, less development or change. I think Adda could offer the opportunity for new relationships and emotional journey on a nearly blank slate.

The Question is, how to separate it or make it completely or partial unice in perspective from the Witcher. Ciri was loved in her whole story, while Gerald wasn't and he was an outcast. I think this perceptive is missing, Gerald develops or developed and progressed and leaves a hole behind. I miss a character mostly being force to fight alone. With which I find the most attractive part of the Witcher, the most special one. Being alone an handling it. The goal of this is to challenge this loneliness and get what you desire, create your place. Ciri has always something to comeback too. Be it royalty of the human world or monstrosity of the Witcher world. I think Ciri is a "spoiled" child, not intentionally but indirect consequential, she isn't it, but she can't deny her origin her identity.

This is not for everyone, especially on mans perspective, Ciri is nice and all, but maybe she is too nice. Ciri isn't dark enough. Adda could be! Especially in today's time, I dislike the prejudice of women to be soft or have the spoiled princess personality, what leads to gold diggers. Adda could be different from Ciri, her curse and rejection and loneliness are tremendous after Foltest death to overcome this and get what she deserves, that she reclaims her social position is worth an observation an experience. Why should Radovid marry her, he knows from incest and retardation!? I see this outcome unlikely, just a pupped for manipulation. First she will experience the degradation from her bitching in relation to the escape of Radovid influence. This will change her, she get to a state of hopelessness, learns thankfulness and progresses from there, back and forth between help/trust and manipulation/rejection. This will be the defining moment of her personality, I don't know how CD-Project want to highlight the prostitution and sexual aspect, Gerald used it a lot in the first Witcher, this would be, if world conform equally here.

Ciri is relatively boyish, I would like to go into a fully women which doesn't identify with its attractivity as Strigoi she was a monster, sure she uses it as Bruxe/Alb, but she could be free earn money killing monsters with her powers. I think this is emancipation. There is nothing special in a women that don't has it and not using it. Like Ciri and rejecting here crown or identity as such, it the interesting part. Adda would be the monster's revenge, was used and manipulated. The humiliation would be exclusion but to cover her identity which highlights her loneliness, like salt into a wound. Anger and animality in revenge, the struggle with empathy and opening up, Like a puppy which was abused and someone takes her in and tries to reach her, we would want her to change to have this process and which equally it the bounding process with the player.

In many ways the reversed Witcher, the extension of the monsters cruelty but understandable, the different is that she passed the line but finds back. Like learning the skills to seduce man and use them to her advantage but all to escape a situation that keeps her from her freedom to break free. She will meet people that help her, like the Witcher himself, which hold the spot in her warm and can be reignited. She learns what she had in her father that beside him there is no one, the desire lays dormant in her, unable to expressed in her situation, denies and suppressed until she believes it but betray herself by it, to ease the pain to not affect her. She goes over cruel and loses her retardation but can balance it. Later progression is the ability of balance then she will appear normal.
A little bit of Sansa Stark.

I think this potential story line is most interesting, as our primary world story state of Temeria ended, as far as here described, in the recommendation of potential bastards of Foltest and the withdrawal of Adda.

• Bussy La Valette
  
• Anais La Valette

This leaves a hole in the player affectionate suggested primary realm of action, Temeria, which beside was the old center of the northern kingdoms, as such the highest traveled to, from a basic logistical standpoint, it represents the soul of the world of the northern kingdoms. The place with the highest emotional bound and history with a King the Witcher had, or I had, beside of Cintra, which obviously doesn't exists anymore.

I can think of a character a player could find affection to would be Adda. A underdog women, all gave her up, nobody cared for her and cursed, with the potential or right to be Queen, once Princess. A character that starts with a reason to hate the world, feminsitically compatible.

Adda's cooperation with the Salamander's is understandable in the action that followed after her fathers death, and the accusations of being unable to be the queen and the withdrawal of her queens right and status.

This builds a cross section of player identification, of a women's mentality, somehow it has a "gold digger" element. It suggests social higher class association. She is magically, means Monster, if properly handled, and she is an underdog, meritocratically justified to earn her right to be what she is, liberal perspective. Beside will it be the "Woke" implication of a strong women, that surpassed what stands in her way. A women that becomes strong through the struggles she passes through. Salamanders Story elements already suggest that. A rebellion against the accusation or prejudice of the stupid little girl a danger to the kingdom. A struggle against society, a trait very few women are able to perform. Monster aspect resembles the socialism/social element, the identification with the excluded, what suggest the empathically element out of identity.

Form a DEV writer standpoint is the interesting part to write her development, write a templet of a modern women, image a psyche that is feasible. Ciri is a daddy girl, had "everything", Adda is the complete opposite, discarded and alone from the beginning, shun as a monster, killed others against her will, called stupid. When you identify with the Witcher and you saved her, you basically want her to success, because your desire to help in general shouldn't be wasted, meaningless. This can even furtherly amplified to say: maybe it would be better to let her die, the Witcher would be more merciful to kill her as to rescue her. A player who played the Witcher is basically forced to like her. The Bitchiness could stand a little in the way, but nothing that can't be solved. A women with a little spice, in direction of Yennefer.

The ritual could be done with Regis, Dettlaff, Orianna, transmutagen or the elder blood of Ciri, maybe both to alter the curse. This will restore herself and alter the her transformation to reason state. Mainly the alternation is only possible through the curse as it amplifies. Means, this transformation is advantageful, better as a Witcher transmutation, sure raw force doesn't mean you will win, but with skilled training you can beat more. This curse can't be forced as the spell or curse a person shouts needs to be out of true intention and you need to be a incest child. Not that someone comes to the idea that you can mass produce them. You only need a higher Vampire and elder blood.

Spoiler: Vampire/Strigoi

If I consider all of this I wrote, I ask myself, why not having a relationship between Ciri and Adda!? I heard Ciri could be a lesbian!? Something that develops over the cause of the stories of Ciri. They have many things in common, they are princesses and they are excluded from society out of their monstrosity. Ciri would clearly feel herself comfortable, she understands the desire of freedom Adda craves and the search for a purpose. Adda could be the link to a reign a child, where Geralt, Triss and Yennefer themselves had problems with. Some fancy three corner relationship! I am not homosexual myself, but if the conditions are how they are, I see it as a merging of destiny.

At this point I think Geralt got too old for emotional bound in youth audience, we write min. 12 year until then and additional two games after TW4, it would require some male attention/character. If not, one needs to see the strives and goal of Gerald differently. Building a Home, a core of endeavour, like a guild for monsters as such, in which Ciri can have "friends", like Eskel or Vesemir, some base of operation. Gerald get the new Vesimir. This would resonate with an older audiences, building a tribe.

If Gerald will be discarded, one could build this three corner relationship, a friendship that offers more as a guy. It is problematical a really high/dense resolution on this always converging characters, this could be too much, or in opposite, it could allow a high offer of variety play styles or character desires in an normally limited character creation world., but this is far far future music.

Story wise it fits, I would give Adda, maybe Gerald two, an !larger! Addon in The Witcher 4/5 to test the response to the character, its introduction is possible already in the fifth game. Fourth game is mostly done, in an lager addon it would be complicated, as it requires a purpose an introduction in best case on the main game, that an addon has some desire to it.

In the end this cluster of Gerald and Ciri could build some mulity dimensional progress that feels always entageld and a progress tat naturally feel reasonable and a character progress that comes with age. That Are my thought to keeping the world alive. The world is stable, peaceful, Nilfgaard centralizes the world. most monsters are dead. It is difficult to see here a gaming reason then to get fat and lazy playing games. This only question is, do you want to give it an invasion of monsters that all kingdoms cooperation is required to fight them of, after that the collapse --- Salamander style!? Or one could tell the fall of Nilfgaard, breaking apart and stabilizing Kingdoms in the northern Nilfgaard preventing of small houses fights, giving it a next round. I think mostly is the problems of games, that their story gets to big and with that to small in world, which feels bad.
