Early life [ ]

While she was even so an infant, Ciri'southward parents were both lost in a storm at bounding main and presumed expressionless. She spent her youth in Cintra and the Skellige Islands in the care of her grandmother and her uncle.

"The Sword of Destiny in Sword of Destiny [ ]

Ciri was supposed to marry Kistrin of Verden, just she eloped into the Brokilon. Freixenet, a regional governor in Verden, followed her into the forest. He also is an former acquaintance of Witcher Geralt. Ciri met Geralt when she was lost in the woods of Brokilon and the Witcher saved her from a Behemothic centipede. She was well-nigh taken by the dryads, who virtually made her ane of their own, but the queen of the dryads, Eithné unexpectedly let the girl choose her own future. Ciri chose Geralt and tried to stay with him after they left Brokilon, only the Witcher would non have her with him. Instead, he left her with the druid Mousesack who was working for Calanthe. The short story already mentions the brewing war with Nilfgaard.

In "Something More" in Sword of Destiny [ ]

"Something More than" is the next story later "Sword of Destiny" and tells virtually how Geralt and Ciri finally run into after the fall of Cintra. This story unfolds in various feverish flashbacks of Witcher Geralt after he was wounded in a fight with monsters.

Ultimately, Ciri was adopted by a kindly merchant's wife, Goldencheeks and it is at Goldencheeks' and Yurga's farm, that Geralt was reunited with her. (This consequence overlaps slightly with the events in Blood of Elves).

In Claret of Elves [ ]

Then came the slaughter of Cintra.

During the Nilfgaardian invasion of Cintra, Ciri was kidnapped by a Nilfgaardian knight called Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach (though his identity was not known at the time), but she managed to escape and wandered aimlessly for some time through Sodden until she was ultimately adopted by a merchant's family.

Coincidentally, Geralt had been helped past that aforementioned merchant and transported to his home. And then one time over again Ciri and Geralt were reunited. This time the witcher took her with him to Kaer Morhen, where under the supervision of Triss Merigold she underwent partial witcher training (but not the mutations) with Geralt, Vesemir, Lambert, Eskel and Coën. It was also there that it was confirmed that she was a source.

Geralt and Triss later took her to the Temple of Melitele in Ellander where she received education at first from Nenneke, and then from Yennefer, who began Ciri'southward magical training in earnest.

'She is not a child,' the voice repeated. 'She is the Flame, the White Flame which volition gear up calorie-free to the globe. She is the Elder Claret, Hen Ichaer. The claret of elves. The seed which will not sprout only burst into flame. The claret which will be defiled . . . When Tedd Deireadh arrives, the Time of End. Va'esse deireadh aep eigean!'

In Time of Contempt [ ]

As news of war began to spread, Ciri and Yennefer left Ellander for Gors Velen and ultimately Thanedd Island and Aretuza where the sorceress intended to enrol the girl equally well as attend the Conclave of mages.

Things did non work out as planned though, not past a long shot. There was a coup during the Conclave and several individuals including Vilgefortz and Cahir tried to capture Ciri in one case again, and once again failed with the girl escaping through an unstable magical portal in Tor Lara. Because of the portal'south nature, Ciri was simply ejected in mid-air over the Korath desert.

Unaware of where she was and without obvious recourse, the girl decided to make her way out of the wasteland by heading west. Unfortunately she wandered around in circles for some time before deciding to utilize the stars as a guide. She nearly died of exhaustion, dehydration and starvation. Luckily she met a unicorn whom she nicknamed Little Horse that helped her out of the Frying Pan (a folk name for the deadly desert).

During the events in the desert, Ihuarraquax was severely wounded past a creature hidden in the sand, which and so is killed by Ciri. Ciri then saw the agony of the piffling horse and decided to heal the unicorn colt'due south wound, but there was no magical source to describe from. Finally, and out of desperation, she drew (magical) power from a fire she was able to beginning. Yennefer always had forbidden her to do that and the power overwhelmed her, which lead to her abjuration of the magical power. She was able to relieve the unicorn, and because of this, some much higher entities (other unicorns?) were eventually willing to let Ciri go on and follow her destiny.

Completely down and out, she finally was captured by the Trappers and brought to the village of Glyswen where she finally escaped forth with a group of young brigands known as "the Rats".

In Baptism of Burn [ ]

Ciri then joined the Rats band under the name Falka. Compensation hunter Leo Bonhart was hired by Stefan Skellen to kill Ciri and by baron Casadei to capture her live. Bonhart killed the Rats and cutting off their heads afterward their deaths. He neither killed Ciri, nor brought her to baron Casadei, therefore not fullfilling his contracts. Bonhart imprisoned her for some fourth dimension, beating her, mistreating and forcing her to kill in the arena at Claremont, which belonged to his cousin Houvenaghel.

Ciri managed to escape with the help of Neratin Ceka when Bonhart had taken her to the village of Unicorn on the eve of the equinox. He had gone to encounter with Skellen and Rience and possibly negotiate some terms to release Ciri. Bonhart then killed Neratin Ceka, and Skellen seriously wounded Ciri, disfiguring her with an orion equally she fled the village on her mare, Kelpie.

Later on, she was found, most death past Vysogota of Corvo, who hid and healed at his hermitage in the Pereplut swamp. She stayed with Vysogotha until shortly after Saovine when she set off to find The Tower of the Consume.

Together with Skellen and Rience, Bonhart tried to hunt her down on the gild of Vilgefortz. Somewhen, she escaped to Tor Zireael.

Being a twin belfry to Tor Lara, Tor Zireael had a portal which led Cirilla to the world of the Aen Elle elves.

In The Belfry of the Swallow [ ]

There she was greeted past Avallac'h, an Aen Saevherne. He explained to her that she had to 'pay the debt' referring to the perceived loss to the Aen Elle when Lara Dorren took Cregennan of Lod every bit her lover. The elves believed that the latter had 'stolen' Elder Blood from them by marrying Lara. To atone for that 'crime' Avallac'h wanted Ciri to beget a kid with Auberon Muircetach, the king of the Aen Elle. That being the only way Avallac'h would let her render to her ain world. On their manner to Tir ná Lia, the Aen Elle capital, they met Eredin and his Dearg Ruadhri. Ciri was initially quite infatuated with him - he realised that and tried to use it to control her. They also came across a pack of unicorns which appeared to exist at state of war with Aen Elle.

In Tir na Lia Ciri finally met Auberon, who many times tried to conceive a kid with her, however he could not - to him she was just a human, a being of no involvement for an Aen Elle. Nevertheless, he was very proud and refused to admit it. Eredin suggested using a 'potion' which would ameliorate Auberon'due south functioning and allow him to conceive a child with Cirilla. He likewise told her the truth (probably to gain her trust) - that Avallac'h would never let her go. Knowing this, Ciri found help with the unicorns where she besides met Fiddling Equus caballus/Ihuarraquax, past then fully grown. The unicorns explained that both Fox and Sparrowhawk had once possessed The Gate of the Worlds, a mystical power known just to those of the Elder Blood simply they had lost it. Now they wanted these powers back and for that they needed Ciri. This could non be allowed, however and the unicorns explained to Cirilla how she should escape.

That aforementioned solar day Ciri once again visited Auberon just to detect that he had boozer the 'potion' given to him by Eredin. Unknown to Sparrowhawk it happened to be too stiff and killed Auberon. That night Ciri attempted to escape Tir na Lia and its bulwark by using a boat and swimming with the river's electric current. She was stopped past Eredin who then revealed his true intentions, beingness the same as Avallac'h'due south. The two battled and Ciri proved victorious due to the elf'due south underestimation of her abilities - she wounded him and threw him into the river. Afterwards on she mounted Kelpie and rode away from Tir na Lia. She met Lilliputian Equus caballus who offered his aid (really his being by Ciri's side was a part of her bargain with the other unicorns). They came beyond a huge pile of bones. To her horror, Ciri realised that the skulls had homo teeth making them a pile of human bones. Ihuarraquax explained that it had been a human world until the elves led by Fox and Sparrowhawk arrived and killed them all - this also would be the fate of other worlds, including Ciri's own, should Avallac'h and Eredin succeed in once again harnessing the power of time and infinite. However, Ihuarraquax and Ciri realised that they were being chased. Petty Horse urged Ciri to spring to another world - the only way to escape. She, nevertheless didn't know how. The unicorn became her guide and they jumped. This led to the manifestation of Ciri'due south strongest power, giving her the championship of The Lady of the Worlds. That power immune her to traverse space and time at volition. Not being able to control information technology, however, Ciri had to journey through many different worlds to finally discover her own.

At the Stygga castle, Bonhart died at the hand of Ciri.

Notes [ ]

Co-ordinate to Blood of Elves, her name is derived from the Elder Oral communication discussion Zireael, Swallow.

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [ ]

Ciri is a playable character in The Witcher 3, only only during certain quests and not mostly. She appears in the opening quest, as a child and Geralt's search for her equally an adult is the main thrust of the game plot.

Prior to the game release [ ]

In the Sword of Destiny trailer, while speaking to Geralt, Emhyr var Emreis claims that Ciri has returned to the mortal lands and is beingness followed past the Wild Chase. Supposedly, the Rex of the Wild Hunt also refers to her and in that location is a white-haired woman seen running who has been confirmed to be Ciri. The side by side shred of data came in the 35min gameplay demo, the Crones announced to be the get-go to find Ciri after she came back into the world through a portal. She was exhausted and apparently injured. The 3 witches helped her as best they could, discovering she has the Elderberry blood flowing in her veins in the process. Cirilla didn't stay with them, she escaped her grotesque saviors.

On 15 Dec 2014 it was revealed that Ciri would be a playable character. The thespian is not able to switch between her and Geralt at will but rather assumes command over her deportment during some crucial points of the plot. Information technology was also disclosed that one of Ciri's unique abilities will exist one called blink.^[three] See the short video snippet on the right for an example.

Journal entry [ ]

Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon — what can I peradventure say about her? That we phone call her Ciri for short, that she was born in 1251, that she has cadaverous hair and a scar on her cheek?

All true, and that's the Cirilla I know best, the ane I first laid eyes upon those many years ago, the 1 who seemed thoroughly, well, not ordinary, but certainly non as extraordinary as she in fact is.

For Cirilla is also a highly-skilled witcher, heiress to several thrones, the last bearer of the Elder Blood, a powerful Source endowed with infrequent magic talent and the Lady of Time and Space. Her hair color and date of nativity seem... rather incidental now, don't they?

I could too tell you she is Geralt's adopted daughter - but that would exist a gross simplification. Ciri is much more. She is his Destiny, his Unexpected Child, someone bound to the witcher by Fate'southward nearly inextricably tangled fetters.

Following age-old witcher tradition, Geralt took Ciri to Kaer Morhen when she came into his intendance. There he and Vesemir taught her in the ways of the professional person monster slayer. It was then that her magic talents were first revealed, and they discovered she was a Source.

Ciri's gift proved a expletive likewise. Because of information technology, she would one twenty-four hour period accept to hide from the entire world — even Geralt.

Ciri'due south biography independent i more great secret. Her natural father was none other than the emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis. His words confirmed the fears swirling in Geralt'southward mind. Ciri had returned and was in mortal danger, for the unrelenting Wild Chase was on her trail.

Yennefer made it clear why the Wild Hunt wanted Ciri: Eredin wanted the power latent in her Elder Claret. She too let Geralt know that Ciri had been seen in war-ravaged Velen likewise every bit in Novigrad, the largest city in the globe.

Reports that Ciri has spent time at Crow'south Perch proved true. She was in that location as the guest of the local warlord, Phillip Strenger, also known every bit the Encarmine Baron. Despite his violent monicker, this man treated Ciri with kindness and respect.

It seemed that during Ciri's fourth dimension in Velen she got into a quarrel with some sort of witch or witches in the swamps.

Geralt learned the truth of Ciri'due south time in the swamps from the mouths of the hideous Crones themselves. Even Ciri, ameliorate able to hold her own than nigh anyone in existence, was lucky to escape from these powerful beings alive and intact.

In The Witcher computer game [ ]

In the game, the innkeeper at the Country Inn in the hamlet of Murky Waters tin can tell Geralt the tale of "Cirilla".

Innkeeper:	"Ahem... Long ago, in a valley far away, lived a girl. She was a true princess, sorceress and witcheress..."
Geralt:	"All 3? Isn't that a bit much?"
Innkeeper:	"Don't interrupt. Yous want to hear the story or not?"
Geralt:	"I won't interrupt over again."
Innkeeper:	"A story about destiny might prove useful, witcher. She was built-in a princess who wanted for nothing, had loving parents and a grandmother who was a keen queen. She lived in palaces guarded past hundreds of knights. Everyone thought she'd go a powerful queen. Just fate had other plans. Her parents died. Enemies butchered her grandmother and took the kingdom. Still, the princess survived. Her fate became jump to one detail witcher. She gained a new family at Kaer Morhen, the concord of the witchers. She learned to fight. Even so destiny once once more made dissonance. The lass had magical talent. She was a source. The witchers afeared the uncontrolled power of a source and needed a sorceress to assistance 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... Merely 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. Just the witcher and the sorceress denied Decease'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, nevertheless none caught her. When she killed all her enemies and peace descended upon the world, she rejoined the witcher and sorceress, but 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 zilch for she'd disawoved magic. So the princess who would not dominion, the witcheress who fought humans, and the sorceress who cast no spells used her power as a ways to get out this world."
Geralt:	"I sense you haven't told all."
Innkeeper:	"All but i. Her name was Cirilla. What'southward that thing?"

Marta Bitner as Ciri in *The Hexer* Idiot box serial

In The Hexer movie and Boob tube series, Ciri was played by Marta Bitner. Unlike in the books, in the series she first met Geralt in the Temple of Melitele in Ellander. She is also not depicted during her teenage years in the series.

Netflix [ ]

In the Netflix-Version, Ciri is portrayed by Freya Allan.

Ciri makes her showtime advent in Flavour 1/Episode 1: The End's Beginning. The product team decided to add some changes to her story to arrive work with the concept of the iii dissimilar timelines in the bear witness. The meeting of a much younger Ciri and Geralt in the Brokilon forest (every bit described in the "The Sword of Destiny" short story) was omitted because of that change. Ciri all the same enters the forest in the show (shown in Episode iv: Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials and Episode five: Bottled Appetites) and spends some time in that location during her escape from the Nilfgaardian henchmen. In the show, Geralt tin can briefly spot Ciri in Cintra when he tries to have on his destiny in Episode 7: Before a Fall, but Calanthe's intervention and the sudden set on of Nilfgaard forestall their coming together in Cintra, resulting in Ciri's escape during the siege while Geralt is captured in the gatehouse. This significantly differs from the short story events, because according to the books, Geralt wasn't in the area when the attack on Cintra happened.

She finally meets Geralt in Episode 8: Much More, which is too the last episode of Flavour ane. Ciri will reappear in Flavour 2, which is expected to be released 2021.

↑ The novels are not clear when it comes to dates. In Claret of Elves, when Ciri is leaving Kaer Morhen in early bound 1266, she says she is nearly 13 - which indicates that the appointment is 1253; the aforementioned date can exist inferred from Time of Contempt (which takes place in 1267), when information technology is said she is 14. On the other manus, in that location are a few mentions in The Tower of the Swallow and Lady of the Lake (respectively 1267 and 1268) about her being 15 or sixteen years old. Andrzej Sapkowski creates even more defoliation in The Tower of the Swallow and Dynastic descriptions describing her crush on Hjalmar which she had at the age of 12 - which is impossible due to fact that the Slaughter of Cintra took place in 1263 and she went to Kaer Morhen in 1264.
