Why does Ciri look so old?

Ciri looks older due to the natural growth and physical development of the young actress, Freya Allan, who plays the role, as the filming of the first and second seasons of The Witcher took place over a period of nearly three years, during which she transitioned from 17 to almost 20 years old. The aging process and makeup used to portray Ciri’s character at different stages of her life also contribute to the noticeable change in her appearance.
