If you&#039;ve looked up The Witcher fan theories, you might have come across one about Ciri being a Doppler. Here&#039;s all you need to know.

Who Is the Doppler in the Witcher? Is Ciri a Doppler?

Those who haven’t paid much attention to The Witcher might be confused as to
what a Doppler actually is. Worry not, as we have summarised Dopplers, their
nature, their appearance in The Witcher Netflix Original, and the recently
popularized fan theory about Ciri being a Doppler in The Witcher season 2.


WHAT IS A DOPPLER IN THE WITCHER?

A Doppler, as the name clearly suggests, is a shapeshifter. They can take on the
form of any creature they encounter. While Dopplers used to inhabit a plateau in
Redania, many moved to the city as it offered them employment opportunities.

In the books, Dopplers look like midgets with a bald head, a long nose, and
horrifying yellow eyes. But, in the Netflix live-action series, they look like a
human with blue skin and an appearance similar to that of The Night King from
Game of Thrones. While Dopplers are usually gentle, the one we see in The
Witcher Netflix Original was terrifying and violent.

Yes, we’re talking about the Doppler that took the form of Mousesack while
pursuing Ciri. We never learn the name of this Doppler. Fans of the series call
it The Adonis. This was the name of the actor whose form it had taken when it
Cahir and hence fans meet it for the first time.

IS CIRI A DOPPLER?

Among the many Reddit discussions and Twitter threads theorizing whether Ciri is
a Doppler in season 2 of The Witcher [https://www.netflix.com/title/80189685],
fans are constantly looking for more content that could prove this theory right.
They suspect Geralt hasn’t met the actual Ciri yet. The Ciri that runs into him
in the forest is actually the Doppler that had taken the form of The Adonis.

Those arose out of the Doppler’s rather extensive collection of body parts. He
was also constantly touching Ciri’s hair, something Mousesack never did. Ciri is
known for her distinctive blonde hair and a single strand could allow the
Doppler to take her form. This shows that his loyalty might not exactly lie with
Cahir and he has plans of his own involving the Lion Cub of Cintra.

The only way to tell for sure whether or not someone is a Doppler is by bringing
them in contact with the metal silver. Even the smallest amount of silver can
limit a Doppler’s shape-shifting abilities. Hence, fans would know for sure that
Ciri isn’t a Doppler if she has come in contact with the metal at any point in
season 2. Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm this. Even the Witcher’s
medallions are incapable of detecting Dopplers.

One thing that only slightly disproves this theory is that Ciri is utterly
powerful. In fact, the reason The White Flame is chasing her so ardently is that
her lineage and power are impossible to replicate. She had Elder Blood and
possesses powers that easily overshadow the likes of Yennefer, one of the most
powerful mages in the series. These aren’t the kind of traits and attributes
anyone can replicate, especially for such a long time.
