Briefly

Steamy sapphic kissing scene in The Witcher has fans asking 'is Ciri a lesbian?'
"During the debut episode, Ciri (Freya Allan), fleeing a local inn after the cataclysmic events of season three's finale, rides off with her gang, the Rats. After they successfully escape, the group stay together for a barn dance. During the event, Kayleigh (Fabiacn McCallum), tries to force himself upon Ciri, before being chased off by Mistle (Christelle Elwin). Alone together, Mistle and Ciri then share a tender moment and eventually kiss."
"Ciri's sexuality is made explicitly clear by Polish writer Andrzej Sapowski, the author of the original books, who makes her identity as a bisexual woman a pivotal part of her story. Her relationship with Mistle is explored in Time of Contempt, but the character shows explicit attraction to both men and women in the book series, which explictly defines her as a bisexual woman. The scene in season four episode one is, indeed, a direct adaptation of the events in the book series."
A same-sex kiss appears in Season Four of Netflix's The Witcher when Ciri kisses Mistle after a barn dance. The scene follows Ciri fleeing an inn, joining the Rats, and escaping before the dance. The kiss prompted viewers to search whether Ciri is a lesbian, with Google Trends showing a spike in the query "is Ciri a lesbian". The television season received middling reviews and introduced Liam Hemsworth as Geralt's replacement. Andrzej Sapowski's books explicitly define Ciri as bisexual, with her relationship with Mistle explored in Time of Contempt. Fans have questioned how Ciri's sexuality will appear in The Witcher 4.
