One of the biggest differences between Netflix ’s edition of Ciri and the one from the books is her old age . In the record , Ciri is around 11 years oldwhen Cintra fall , and meets Geralt at around the age of 12 . In Netflix’sThe Witcher , Ciri is old as Freya Allan was in her late teens when she was cast , and though this does n’t change the character that much ( the series even showed her get going out to play with Friend and being treated like a child in the first season ) , it has been one of the biggest differences between the Netflix series and the books that rooter of the latter have pointed out . It ’s deserving note , however , that Ciri ’s age became quite perplexing in the last novel , which in a way can rationalise the modification in the series .
9Book Ciri Is Never Possessed By The Voleth Meir
Netflix’sThe Witcherhas summate lineament that do n’t come from Sapkowski ’s stories , most notably season 2 ’s Voleth Meir . The Deathless Mother made deals with Fringilla , Francesca , and Yennefer to give them what they desired , but the Mary Leontyne Price was very mellow . In Yennefer ’s case , she had to hand Ciri to the Voleth Meir in gild to retrieve her powers , and though she could n’t bring herself to do it , Ciri was later possessed by the Deathless Mother . Ciri was saved by Yennefer , who sacrificed herself , but this mess never happened to book Ciri .

Ciri and Yennefer ’s relationshipin Netflix’sThe Witcherhas been quite smooth so far , even though the sorceress almost sacrifice the princess for her own welfare , but in the books , it was a bit hard at first . Ciri did n’t care Yennefer at first because the sorceress was quite cold , and she was also jealous of her outstanding beauty . To make it more complicated , Yennefer thought Ciri was indolent and stubborn and was jealous of her deep alliance with Geralt . In the end , just like in the Netflix serial , they developed a strong mother / girl bond .

Ciri is arduous to play a joke on in Netflix’sThe Witcher , but in the novels , she ’s very gullible , which can be impute to her young age . As Ciri was trained in Kaer Morhen and raised by witchers , she lacked a lot of knowledge , specially about womanly needs . Triss Merigold was key in teaching Ciri about these , but she was still quite fleeceable , so much so that the minor in Melitele ’s temple constantly teased her , such as when they made her conceive she would n’t be able to cast magic spell because she was a Virgo the Virgin .

In the books , however , Ciri ’s protectiveness went as far as to be jealous of Triss Merigold when she began courting Geralt while at Kaer Morhen . Ciri ’s green-eyed monster was justified , as Triss was using love potions to get Geralt to have feelings for her . As remark above , Ciri was also overjealous of Yennefer at one degree , but she ended up being protective of both Geralt and Yennefer when they became a family .

Yennefer snitch both Geralt and Ciri by attempting to give Ciri to the Voleth Meir , but she ultimately did n’t do it and even sacrificed herself to break Ciri innocent from the Deathless Mother . This is one of the most controversial changes Netflix’sThe Witcherhas made , as in the books , Ciri was never betrayed by Yennefer .

It ’s to be realise if Netflix’sThe Witcherwill impart all this to life or will tone it down .
The Witcher season 3 Part 2 understand Ciri taking a Modern name : Falka , from a woman she see in the desert . But who is she and why did Ciri take her name ?
2Ciri Isn’t As Selfless In The Book As She Is In Netflix’s The Witcher
