The heir to a victorious empire who just conquered the northern kingdoms, "Ciri" had one last task to complete before claiming her birthright: destroy the White Frost. Unfortunately [[{{Understatement}} this didn't work out perfectly]]. Now trapped thousands of miles from her objective, this young imperial has a new destiny to guide another young woman to a greater destiny too.




!!The Crones
* AdaptationalBadass: From controlling Velden, a relatively small and out of the way place, to becoming TheManBehindTheMan in [[spoiler: The Riverlands]].
* AdaptationalVillainy: While what they do in the game is nothing good, in this story they up their game with ideas to [[spoiler: [[TakeOverTheWorld rule Planetos and defeat the White frost]] after tasting Ciri's flesh]].
* ArcVillain: While slow building, they become Geralt's primary anagonists starting in book 3, and the main reason why he gets stuck before [[spoiler: helping Stannis at King's Landing]].
* DealWithTheDevil: Their terms for helping the lords typically involve betrayal of others around them. Whether longtime friends or even family. How willing others are to take this depends on who the lord is.



A wandering priest from Essos, Thoros was originally a lapsed man who just stuck around for the fun of being at King Robert's court. However, the signs of his red god ended up pointing him towards Geralt. And what followed from that would be an experience which would change his life forever.



* CharacterDevelopment: Being around Geralt raised his tolerance, as he began to see how a good man leads even when not of the faith. This would lay fertile ground for a religious dialog with [[spoiler: a shaman of the old gods]] which would change his life.



* FromNobodyToNightmare: To reiterate, he's not noble born, and was a small folk. But by book 3, he now has an honorary space on the small council and is bringing [[spoiler: gunpowder warfare]] to Westeros.

* OutOfFocus: While we've heard much about her and her time tutoring Joffery, compared with the rest of the grimns we haven't gotten as much of a window into her life from her perspective.



Linking up with Hadrian Rivers during [[spoiler: the escape from Raventree Hall, Root]] is a liason from the Children of the Forest, now coming out of hiding because the situation has become so dire. And while not willing to be a direct participant at this time, her presence is bound to change the world in due time.

A Witcher from the land of Rivia, Geralt has lived for over 90 years of struggle and pain. Doing good even when the people around him didn't appreciate it.

* ItSucksToBeTheChosenOne: Ciri has a lifetime of prophecy and destiny hanging over her head. And as she muses, looking at her deepest desires in the house of the undying, she'd like nothing more than to follow in her "dad's" footsteps and become a normal witcher. But, for a chance to do a lot of good and to ensure the protection of the world, she continues to take up the mantle no matter the emotional cost to her.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Originally an ordinary Smallfolk, he was apparently part of some great tragedy in the past before joining the maesters.

Then he joined the pyromancers, even serving Aerys for a little while.
