Why There Are No Female Witchers Series? Will Ciri Become One?
Season 2 of the Witcher adds up more witchers, but it does not have any female witchers – here’s why and what Ciri will face. Also, in this article, we will find out the answer of the most asked question by fans that will they be able to see a Ciri Witcher in the show?
Geralt of Rivia is not the only witcher in The Witcher’s world, but all the witchers of the show are men, and that is where the question arises that why are there no female witchers? The Witcher is a collection of novels and shorts written and popularised in Polish artist Andrzej Sapkowski, mostly in video games, and has been brached out to other media.
The books were adapted for film and TV in Poland, and with their first translation to the English language, the Witcher, they were transformed into the realm of streaming, which was published in December 2019.
The Netflix series decided to take an alternative approach and tracked three characters at various locations and points in time, their paths were converging by the end of the season. And while this has been a frustrating experience for many people, it never stopped the series from becoming an achievement. The names are Geralt from Rivia (played by Henry Cavill), sorceress Yennefer from Vengerberg (played by Anya Chalotra) and the Cintra crown princess, Ciri (played by Freya Allan). In Season 2 of The Witcher, fans continue to train Ciri with the aid of other witchers, but that does not guarantee that she will be one.
The Witcher Intense Training Process
There are different witchers in the world of Sapkowski, as discussed above, but they are all male, however, there are different sorceresses, but their talents and their preparation are very different. Trainees from Witcher start their training at an early age, and undergo intensive alchemical procedures, mutagenic compounds and rigorous physical and magical training.
As a result, they undergo numerous mutations, giving them power, stamina and more, but also they are left sterile.
Now, to become a witcher, the trainee must undergo exams, a set of tests that turn the organism of the subject in the form of hidden herbs, infusions and more. First of all is the Grass Trial which is an extremely stressful week-long procedure that involves absorbing specific virus crops and alchemical additives in order to alter the subject’s physiology.
The trainees who take the Trail of Grasses will endure this process and others who get flashbacks, muscle stamina, sharp feelings and slower ageing. Now that there are no women witchers in the world of The Witcher is because of such serious studies, mutants and more. Women passed the trial, but none survived, most likely as testing is intended for men and not for women, so if there was any interest in women wizards, a trial for women would have to be conducted – of course, many Witcher readers and fans noted the absence of women witches as a sexist and misogynist problem in this universe, since women did not survive.
Currently, What is the role of Ciri?
While Geralt and Yennefer are totally fun to toss around magic and battle huge monsters as they talk cryptically about their fate, Princess Ciri is much more of a cypher. Shaken in the knowledge of her grandmother, Queen Calanthe, dying and falling to the opponents, she is on the run after Nilfgaard’s South kingdom invades her own Cintra Kingdom. However, before allies can take Ciri down, she initially refuses to abandon Calanthe and shouts to clarify that.
Her voice is supernaturally powerful and shows that Ciri has more to do than he has to meet the eye. You do not know that Ciri is a source – a rare and extremely strong individual – if you did not read the first novel from the Witcher series, “Blood of the Leves,” or played any of the CD Projekt Red.
During the eight episodes of season 1, we have a few clues of the powers of Ciri and their origins. First, after being told to flee Cintran Castle as Nilfgaard strikes, Ciri will rock a whole room with her distraught scream. Later on, Ciri is in a transition to the mystic Brokilon Forest that is protected. Netflix never calls Ciri, but in Blood of Elves and in the Witcher video games it is revealed that Ciri is recognised as the Source – and that’s a big deal.
Will fans see a new Ciri Witcher in Season 2?
Still, though in season 2 Ciri is getting trained at Kaer Morhen and is counting on the help of other witchers close to Geralt, fans will still be not able to see a Ciri Witcher because she will not go through the same steps as Geralt, Lambert and Eskel have become a sorcerer. Instead she is considered to be an affiliate of the School of Wolf. Sapkowski is unlikely to introduce female witchers to this world, and so is the case with Neflix The Witcher series, but this do not indicate that in season 2 of the Witcher, the training for Ciri would not be fun and spanning to look at!
This is all about the insights of Ciri witcher updates from the Neflix show. Wie will keep you posted on the next developements on the show. Let us know about your thoughts!
