She carries the scar of perpetual loss deep within herself, so when presented with the chance to claim back the sacred sword that was robbed from her recently fallen tribe, no hesitation is granted. Yeoh’s character will go on a life-threatening journey in order to revive at least something that was stripped from her perished tribe. She will have the task of being a newcomer to a series, in which her character is in no way a beginner when it comes to knowing how to operate the conjunction of spheres that eventually will be fused together. The actress seems to be taking major franchises by storm, jumping from one key role to the next.
From the description of herWitcher: Blood Origincharacter, it seems as though Scian will be alone throughout her unfolding quest to salvage the remains of her tribe. However, fans know that Scian will ultimately be crossing paths and perhaps joining forces with O’Fuarain’s character Fjall, who has been described as being “born into a clan of warriors sworn to protect a King. Fjall carries a deep scar within, the death of a loved one who fell in battle trying to save him. A scar that won’t let him settle, or make peace with himself or the world around him. In his quest for redemption, Fjall will find himself fighting beside the most unlikely of allies as he carves a path of vengeance across a continent of turmoil.”With this description of Fjall, it makes it seem as though he and Scian are destined to meet and help one another heal their scars of loss.
Scian and Fjall are both on a quest in search of salvation and recovery, yet how their relationship will be born and the part it plays in the conjunction of the many spheres is still a mystery. Therelease date of theWitcherprequel series is also an ongoing mystery as well.
