Cirilla

Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon - what can I possibly say about her? That we call her Ciri for short, that she was born in 1251, that she has ashen hair and a scar on her cheek?
All true, and that's the Cirilla I know best, the one I first laid eye supon those many years ago, the one who seemed thoroughly, well, not ordinary, but certainly not 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 exceptional magic talent and the Lady of Time and Space. Her hair color and date of birth seem... rather incidental now, don't they?
I could also tell you she is Geralt's adopted daughter - but that would be a gross simplification. Ciri is much more. She is his Destiny, his Unexpected Child, someone boudn to the witcher by Fate's most inextricably tangled fetters.
Following age-old witcher tradition, Geralt took Ciri to kaer Morhen when she came into his care. There he and Vesemir taught her in the way sof the professional monster slayer. it was then that her magic talents were first revealed, and they discovered she was a Source.
Ciri's gift proved a curse as well. Because of it, she would one day have ot hide from the entire world - even Geralt.
===Update #1 (Witcher 3 spoilers from now on)===
Ciri's biography contained one more great secret. Her natural father was none other than the emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis. His words confirmed the fears swirlign in Geralt's mind. Ciri had returned and was in mrotla danger, for the unrelenting Wild Hutn was on her trail.
