With casting news for Netflix's The Witcher series still up for grabs and no particular actress nailed down for the stunningly enticing Triss Merigold, we're just going to have to show our appreciation for the character in a different way! And what better way to do just that than to celebrate the beautiful Triss as she could appear in CD Projekt RED's other big RPG series with this amazing Cyberpunk 2077 crossover cosplay!

The cosplayer in question is Elena Samko and you may recognize her from our previous "Lusty Argonian" cosplay feature from the Elder Scrolls franchise.This time she's taking on the CD Projekt RED universe with The Witcher, but with a Cyberpunk 2077 twist.

Elana also did her own spin on Ciri in the Cyberpunk universe as well, which you can be see over on her Facebook page here. In the books, Ciri was much younger than many realise and though the outfit of choice is on the sexier side of the cosplay spectrum, the face still retains that innocence of the novel's character. Plus, Ciri with a gun -- how cool would that be?

Unfamiliar with the legend behind Triss Merigold? According to the game's wikipedia:

"Triss Merigold of Maribor was a legendary Temerian sorceress of the 13th century. Called Fourteenth of the Hill by her contemporaries because she was erroneously thought to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden Hill, she passed into history as Merigold the Fearless. A member of King Foltest's royal council along with Fercart and Keira Metz, as well as a founding member of the Lodge of Sorceresses, she was involved in politics for most of her life.

"She was friends with Yennefer and the witcher Geralt of Rivia, but also unhappily in love with the latter. Triss took care of Ciri at Kaer Morhen for some time and is like an older sister to her. It was through her intervention that Ciri was not subjected to harmful hormone changes at Kaer Morhen, stripping her of her secondary gender traits."

"She was a skilled healer and carried with her many magical potions, but she never uses them on herself because ironically, she was allergic to potions. She was also quite a powerful mage, certainly when it counted most. She wore an amulet - sapphire overlaid with silver."
