This is niche as hell I don’t know what to do with this information but uh. Ciri and Cahir in the Books are literally Kylo Ren and Rey. Like I don’t ship either of these pairings I have no idea what to do with this information.
- Ciri’s father is Emhyr.
- Rey’s grandfather is Palpatine.
- Ciri and Rey are both chosen ones.
- Kylo Ren and Cahir are both underlings of their respective villains
- They both have a redemption arc based around their obsession with the female lead
- They both have a “connection” with the female lead that allows them to see them and have visions of each other
- They both sacrifice themselves for the female lead to save her life
- They both get beat up by the female lead and that’s when they began having visions of her (After Time of Contempt for Cahir and after The Force Awakens for Kylo)
- Shit even that scene in The Rise of Skywalker where Rey defeats Kylo and is standing over him in the rain is so goddamn similar to Ciri defeating Cahir in Time of Contempt
“There was no black helmet, no raptor’s wings, whose whistling had tormented her in her nightmares. There was no black knight of Cintra. There was a pale, dark-haired young man with stupefyingly blue eyes and a mouth distorted in a grimace of fear, kneeling in a pool of blood. The black knight of Cintra had fallen beneath the blows of her sword, had ceased to exist. Only hacked-up feathers remained of the forbidding wings. The terrified, cowering young man bleeding profusely was no one. She did not know him; she had never seen him before. He meant nothing to her. She wasn’t afraid of him, nor did she hate him. And neither did she want to kill him.
Like if I told you those gifs were from that scene. THEY WOULD FIT.
I have no idea what to do about this information and I have been screaming on discord about it looking like this
(Also if anyone wants to join the sever here’s a link we are a Witcher female characters centric sever but we also do a lot of meta discussion on the different canons, plenty of book talk!)
So if anyone has more thoughts. If they see the same absolutely wild similarities that I do. Please. Let me know.
(I will say Cahir and Ciri has very different undertones considering Cahir met her as a kid when he saved her from Cintra. I mean tbh the age gaps are similar tho with Kylo Ren being 10 years older than Rey and Cahir being 5-10 years older than Ciri)
