Who is Eithne

I found about her in singleplayer Gwent campaign. From description she is queen of Dryads and ruler of Brokilon forest and she hates humans.I found her really interesting as character so any more info about her because I have only played Witcher 3 with expansions and there wasn't anything about her.

She is a character from the books, she appears in Sword of Destiny and Baptism of Fire.

Spoiler: Super-brief spoiler:

The dryads of that forest get their hands on Ciri as a child. They have this potion they brew that wipes people's memories, and then they can be made into dryads. There's a moment where Geralt shows up to reclaim Ciri, and he winds up thanking Eithne for not giving Ciri the drink. Eithne basically insinuates, "We did." The inference being: it didn't work on Ciri...which should be impossible. (Insert dramatic *BWAAAaaa* here.)

Just helps to establish that there's something really strange and scary-powerful about Ciri.
