Just a reminder that if skin tone/race isn't a factor in your fantasy story that it doesn't matter who you cast for which role.
Usually, and this is the case for The Witcher as well, fictional races overrule real-life one.
If Ciri were to be an elf, or a dwarf, or a troll, it would matter a great deal more to the story than whoever is cast to play her.
We're just used to making problems up about this, because it's still unusual for a role seen as "white" to go to a minority person; however in most fiction, it doesn't make a difference.
When you start casting, to avoid bias you preemptively decide some roles to assign to BAME actors.
This prevents:
a) roles going to white people by default (which is what normally happens due to star power, more likely better agent influence, casters own biases etc.)
b) here, that you cast someone good at cosplaying Ciri rather than playing her
