this is the greatest ask i’ve ever recieved.

Keira Metz is a character from the Witcher, originating in the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, and then she appears in the Witcher 3.

She’s a relatively minor character in the books, but she is a part of the Lodge of Sorceresses which is an overall important institution in the books. She also makes her first “on screen” appearance in the books at Thanedd, which is a ball held at the Mages’ Conclave. Like most of the female mages, she shows up tits out and ready to fuck. Someone offers her a glass of wine and she declines saying she “intends to get pregnant tonight” (note: all graduates of female magical school are sterilized) she also was just using that as cover to stay sober for the coup. She bullies a woman into getting magical cosmetic surgery later on. She likes Ciri because she’s got spunk but doesn’t want to let her see Geralt before they sell off her uterus to make an all powerful magical baby. She’s the actual worst. I love her.

In the Witcher 3, which takes place 5 years or so after the books end, the magical lady secret society never did get that magical baby made and disolves. Due to the political hostility against mages in the socially-conservative Northern Realms, Keira is now working as a village witch the no-man’s land of wartorn Velen, and she is scheming to get out. I actually have a post defending Keira with my whole life https://theowlseye.tumblr.com/post/690808891347451904/i-know-i-go-on-and-on-about-keira-metz-being-a, so while Keira’s methods of getting out of Velen are not ethical in the slightest, it does have a good outcome for the Continent (she creates a vaccine that cures the plague) and her motives are understandable. (Living in a bed-bug-invested cottage fearing for the day that the witch hunters get you is not a good life). [image: keira metz drinking wine during her romantic evening with geralt.] ALT

(She also does get her glass of wine in the witcher 3 when she convinces Geralt to take her out on a romantic evening. This romantic evening is also entirely Cinderella-themed, and my name just happens to be Cindy, so of course, I have to love her).

She’s the epitome of gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss. She’s the Renaissance Fantasy Poland equivalent of a toxic lifestyle blogger who posts memes about calling wine “mommy juice.” Absolutely no notes. This is the ideal woman.

Also if you don’t kill her in the Witcher 3, she ends up with Lambert who is Thee Blorbo from My Video Games. (Lambert is one of the other witchers trained at the same school as Geralt, and there are very few witchers left in the world, so the witchers form a family of circumstance. Lambert is very angry at his fate of being a witcher. He also convinces the other witchers to crossdress at one point so he’s very #gender).

Lambert is also very much designed and written to be Geralt “the Pretty Boy” of Rivia’s foil. So while Keira isn’t one of the “committed” romances for Geralt anyways, it’s nice to see her go from the famed white wolf to just some guy who hates hunting drowners for like the equivalent of 2 bucks a head. (In this outcome, Keira goes on to become a very famous and successful healer, so theoretically this could also Lambert to stop having to work as a witcher).

She truly shifted something in me. If she was real I’d be her reply guy. (Your picture was not posted)
