Apparently unpopular opinion (?!):
Having a BAME actress portray Ciri (or any other character) in Netflix's adaptation of #theWitcher would not detract from the quality of the story at all, but actually stands to add to it.
I'd personally love to see a BAME Yennefer.
I don’t think it follows that changing the ethnicity of characters means you’re doing so to lack up for a lack of quality elsewhere. I think making the cast more diverse would make the characters more relatable to a wider audience, for starters.
