"it's almost certainly not just they didn't want to cast a white girl for that one role.  There will be some sense to it."

>One would hope. Seems pretty messed to do such a thing arbitrarily...

Which is why they deserve the benefit of the doubt rather than such vehement vitriol.

They obviously will not make her a person of color and the rest of her family all white and provide no explanation whatsoever for it in the show. 

I think Ciri was going to be an orphan.

Seems like they're specifically looking for a Polish actress for Ciri, which is great.

Shikamaru, are you familiar with the source material for The Witcher? The books I mean? I assume that's what Netflix is going off of, not the games...
