The Witcher Season 2 Key Art: Freya Allan's Ciri Is Destined to Fight

As December 17th inches closer and closer (okay, it's still two months but just humor us), Netflix & Lauren S. Hissrich's The Witcher continues rolling out character theme key art. After focusing on Henry Cavill's Geralt & his destiny as a protector and Anya Chalotra's Yennefer & her destiny as a survivor, the spotlight shines on Freya Allan's Ciri for the second season. And though she may have found herself forced to flee during the first season, Ciri will realize very quickly that she's truly "Destined to Fight":

Now here's a look at some new scenes from the second season of The Witcher, where dangers (and questions) await: Geralt reconnects with his old friend Nivellen; and then, Geralt look to protect Ciri from a monster. Oh, and before you go?
