Despite being farthest from the books in &#039;The Witcher&#039; 1 and 2

How ‘The Witcher’ Season 3 Served the Best Ciri and Yennefer Moments, Despite Being Hated by Fans

The Witcher [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-witcher/] 3 brought to the world
the last dance of Henry Cavill [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] as
Geralt. Ever since the epic legends of the Witcherverse soiled, the fans were
over the moon to see the narrative unfolding on Netflix screens. Yet the third
installment carried a weight of disappointment from fans worldwide, mostly
leaning on the premature farewell of the former Geralt. Despite the bed of
needles, what even the fans cannot deny is how the season had been crucial in
delivering the top-notch moments of Ciri and Yennefer.

Therefore, here is a list of three particularly wholesome moments between Ciri
and Yennefer that set the season a class apart. 


GERALT, CIRI, AND YENNEFER’S DOMESTIC BLISS

Having spent two whole seasons in separation, The Witcher 3 finally witnessed
the merging of the three pivotal characters of diverse timelines, Yennefer of
Vengerberg, Geralt of Rivia, and Cirilla of Cintra. Their formation of a
one-of-a-kind sorcerer’s family came into view while Geralt and Yennefer’s
long-awaited love story ultimately set in bloom. The bliss, however, did not
come along with a forever guarantee card.

Especially since the Thanedd Coup played a crucial role in the trio’s separation
after failing to secure safety. However, the time they spent together on-screen
will remain a reason to revisit despite the no surety of where season 4 will
take Yennfer and Geralt as a duo

and the team as a trio. That being said, The Witcher 3 was also elemental for
fixing the controversial shifts from the books, especially with Ciri and
Yennefer.


YENNEFER TELLS HER STORY TO CIRI

The season, based on the novel Blood of Elves, dived deep into curating the
mother-daughter bond of Ciri and Yennefer. Especially since the second
installment pictured Yennefer’s betrayal of Ciri, this season was important for
her character to lead back into the good books of Ciri and Geralt. Hence, when
the duo separated from Geralt, Yennefer tried to convince Ciri to go to Aretuza.

On their way, the pair get into an argument about how Ciri’s visions cannot be a
weapon to change the future as it has been doing more harm than good. It is at
that conflicting moment that the pair takes a detour to Yennefer’s troublesome
childhood. She gets a sight of where Yennefer grew up and how she has fought
through her struggles despite being imperfect.

The scene became a major reason for retreat as the moment set the lines for the
ultimate vision of The Witcher trying to backtrack their disloyalty to the
source.


YENNEFER CALLS CIRI HER DAUGHTER

Instead of being a mother figure and a powerful sorceress, The Witcher makers
did turn Yennefer into an antagonist for the first two seasons. However, picking
up those breadcrumb theories, the makers compensated for the same in season 3
with character-building and a return to source accuracy. During their separation
in the Thanedd Coup, their mother-daughter relationship from the books sheds
secrecy.

> “…Trust me. Trust me, I beg you. Now run for it. … I love you, my daughter.”

Yennefer reminding Ciri of how they will soon again cross paths came with the
most-awaited declaration from her end, “I love you, my daughter”. And as
Yennefer found her ultimate purpose in life, so did the books find their reason
for existence. Hence, for all the right reasons, season 3 will remain an epic
season for Ciri and Yennefer.
