The character, better known as Ciri, is played by Freya Allan, who started acting in 2017 and appeared in The War of The Worlds last year.
Opening up about how she landed the role, she revealed she initially auditioned for a completely different part. She told Digital Spy: "I never really knew what was happening. I got given scenes, and I did them. But what I do know is that they told me I was Marilka, and then Sophie Holland, the casting director, said to [writer Lauren Schmidt Hissrich], 'I really think you should consider her for Ciri' – even though they were looking for younger people than me.
"So. I found out I got Marilka. The next day, they called me up saying, '[Alik Sakharov], who's the director, and Lauren, the showrunner, are coming with some producers from LA to London to see me for Ciri'."
