Hannah Possibly Bringing: Jaskier from The Witcher (Netflix, he is not actually the witcher) Tell Us More: Jaskier is a rather prolific bard (lovingly described by the showrunner as "the Freddy Mercury of the Continent") who is the reason Geralt of Rivia has any money at all, thank you. He made his career following the witcher on monster hunts and singing ballads about his exploits for a couple of decades. He has, for the entirety of his life, been a shameless flirt and flatter. Typically he has a very jovial attitude towards most things, though he's a bit of a panicked coward when it comes to actual monsters (or people who want to hurt/murder him). Underneath his jokes and flirtations is a heart of gold who falls in love with people rather easily. Choice: A witch! With a special interest in alchemy/potion making. Basic Plans: Some reconciliation with having magic when he's otherwise only had terrible experiences with magic almost killing him or threatening to do so (once by a djinn, once by Queen Calanthe's daughter, once by an actual sorceress). This will be a bit off-putting at first until he reconciles it with the fact he can also keep himself (and Geralt) safer during hunts. And their general dangerous shenanigans. Looking at you, dragon hunt gone wrong. Anything Else: He's young, dumb, and full of -- you know. ;)
