Is Ciri finally confirmed!?

Do you remember Deidre Ademeyn? She is a character in The Witcher module "The Price of Neutrality" who had the great misfortune of being born during a total eclipse (SPOILER: She became Eskel's "Unexpected Child" as you may know):



Maybe Ciri was created after Deidre character's model... I would like something like that.
Nope she's portraited on Renfri, a character from "The lesser evil" short story, in The Last Wish. They just added the Child of Surprize element, which had nothing to do with Renfri.
Deidre's story and appearance is totally similar to Renfri's.
 
I hope that we will meet Ciri before the end of the game.
At least this artwork implies that we'll get to travel with her.



It's too bad that we won't get to romance her, because Geralt only sees her as his protegee.
So no Cirimance for the players.

Why would you even want that?

I wouldn't want that between Ciri and Geralt, to be honest.

I'm talking from a player point of view.
Because if the player was someone like Cahir for example I'd really like
to see a romantic relationship happen.

Ciri is a great character and has gone through so much crap,
that she deserves a hug by someone who loves her.
 
Oh i bet Geralt will hug her the moment he meet her. He loves her very much, it's just father-daughter platonic love.

Also remember ithline's prophecy. She can't just have romance with someone, it may have drastic repercussions on the witcher world.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
It's FATHER and DAUGHTER.
I can't even imagine such couple, not when it's Witcher lore. Not when it's Geralt and Ciri.
As far as I know CDPRED we won't see that kind of weirdness in Wild Hunt.

Just so you don't misunderstand what I wrote. :p
 
Sorry, didn't notice... somehow.
If could work If Ciri would be one of playable characters. Maybe in next Witcher games?

Don't be sorry, it's my fault.
I should have made my point more clear. :)

But yes, it'd be great if we see more of Ciri in the next Witcher games.
Strong female characters are always a welcome addition.

For now lets wait and see how CDPR introduces her to us in TW3.
 
Personally I think CDPR could introduce a lot of characters and a bit of background with the events of Stygga castle in a dream sequence of Geralt`s where he saves Yen and we watch as Ciri kills ...well you know who . That way we get introduced to who and what Ciri is as well as Yennefer . I would suggest the whole event but that I think would be too many people for the newcomers to the game to be able to grasp and identify with .

I agree with you, my friend.
Stygga castle is one of the points where a lot happens to all characters involved.

In my opinion CDPR has made the right decision by focussing TW3 on Geralt's loved ones,
because they are very complex characters with whole books of background story, which can't
be explained to people who haven't read the books on a sidenote.

Technically it's going to be very hard to pull off.
 
I would love to see Ciri in TW3, and that artwork could confirm her presence, we can only wait :p

I'm very curious about how CDPR would portray her.
With that I mean her character design, voice actress, dialog and role in TW3.

We did get a glimpse at Yen via the stylized flashbacks in TW2,
but Ciri was nowhere to be seen - only mentioned once as a girl with ashen hair.

We don't know what she is up to. We don't know how she has changed.
Let's just hope she still kicks ass.
 
For me she's pretty much confirmed since that artwork. That's CDPR telling the book fans:

Look at the character's hair. Who is it? Ofcourse it's Ciri!

Its not only the hair.
The fact that Geralt gave his silver sword to that person shows that:

  1. Its someone he cares about.
  2. That person knows how to handle a sword.
That makes it pretty obvious that this person must be Ciri.
 
One of the best moments in TW 1 (about Ciri):


Innkeeper:
"Ahem... Long ago, in a valley far away, lived a girl. She was a true princess, sorceress and witcheress..."
Geralt: "All three? Isn't that a bit much?"

Innkeeper: "Don't interrupt. You want to hear the story or not?"

Geralt: "I won't interrupt again."

Innkeeper: "A story about destiny might prove useful, witcher.

She was born a princess who wanted for nothing, had loving parents and a grandmother who was a great queen. She lived in palaces guarded by hundreds of knights. Everyone thought she'd become a powerful queen. But fate had other plans. Her parents died. Enemies butchered her grandmother and took the kingdom. Still, the princess survived. Her fate became bound to one particular witcher. She gained a new family at Kaer Morhen, the hold of the witchers. She learned to fight. Yet destiny once again made noise.

The lass had magical talent. She was a source. The witchers afeared the uncontrolled power of a source and needed a sorceress to assist them. She studied arcane magic. The sorceress loved a witcher and the two adopted the girl. She was truly happy and could have become a powerful sorceress...

But war broke out and fate separated the family. Aggrieved, the lass disawoved magic and became a huntress, learning to love killing. Death followed her - everyone she'd loved had died. Only the witcher and the sorceress denied Death's calling. Fate cast her to foreign shores, yet she returned. The worst assassin tailed her, yet she emerged victorious. Agents of all kingdoms pursued her, yet none caught her.

When she killed all her enemies and peace descended upon the world, she rejoined the witcher and sorceress, only to have destiny sneer at her again."

Geralt: "What happened?"

Innkeeper: "A peasant unskilled in arms killed the witcher. The sorceress died trying to revive him. The girl could do nothing for she'd disawoved magic. So the princess who would not rule, the witcheress who fought humans, and the sorceress who cast no spells used her power as a means to leave this world."

Geralt: "I sense you haven't told all."

Innkeeper: "All but one. Her name was Cirilla. What's that matter?"


Last image I found and instantly favorite one about Ciri... just perfect

I like you more with every post you make. :p

Thank you for sharing this image.
She even has the Witcher medallion of the cat school she took from Leo Bonhart,
the one he held as trophy from killing a Witcher - much love for detail.

i said it before in a previous thread i made but, personally i want them to keep her hair to the side trying to hide her scar, it speaks of ciri's insecurities and vulnerability.

personality wise, if anyone watches anime, ciri has always reminded me of a milder asuka from evangelion. someone with a tough arrogant exterior that hides a vulnerable person inside. instead of a smartass sassy, teen she should be smartass sassy tween.

role: wouldnt be surprised if shes been captured by the wildhunt or even brainwashed. id love to see her fight alongside geralt atleast once, some climactic battle akin to the one we saw at the end of the novels; especially would love to see ciri use her teleportation in combat.

as for conversations id find it funny if she talks about her journeys in other worlds, and they make parodies and references to other games. like have her talk about a world where dragons where trying to destroy the world, and she had to become the "the child dragon or dragonborn" and talk how she became famous and overpowered in the world but after a while she grew bored of that place and left.

And as I ignored you the last time you mentioned Chloe Moretz I will not this time. She`s no material for Ciri, to me. She`s just ugly, to me. Her strange nose, corrected-like lips, high cheeks and triangular shaped face stand in opposite to my personal image of Ciri. She would be physycally fit for it? LOL WHO CARES.

sorry its only now that i found this comment. actually this is why she would be perfect as Ciri. Ciri isnt that good looking, really. several times they talk about how ugly she is. alot of how ugly they find ciri depends on the situation she is in or what mood she is in.

that why chloe moretz to me, fits as her. she is someone that when she is frowning can be fairly ugly but when when she smiles looks fairly cute.
 
I don't find Chloe Moretz to be ugly at all, even if she doesn't resemble my idea of Ciri.

CDPR will have to make the tough decision of defining how Ciri will look in the game.
Doing this for a character coming from a book where the readers imagination is almost unlimited,
doesn't make this an easy task to begin with. You just can't please everyone.

I'll accept what CDPR comes up with as official representation of grown up Ciri.
To me this will define my view on this character in the more recent Witcher history.

All I hope for is that they find a healthy balance between a pretty face, a strong woman and a vulnerable, scarred lady.

I don't want Ciri to be a one-dimensional character, she jumps through too many dimensions for that. :p
