Shani
Of all the romantic options in The Witcher, Shani is one of the rare few who appear in all of the Witcher games. CD Projekt Red should’ve called The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone DLC Shani: Return of the Queen. Shani is the happy ending for folks who are highly susceptible to the “one that got away” trope. What’s not to like about Shani? She’s a medieval essential worker whose job is to make folks feel better with her medical prowess, she’s got that Oxenfurt Academy education, and she loves to dance.
If you romanced Shani, you’re a genuine romantic who loves having a partner that knows exactly the right thing to say to make your stressful day seem less shitty and will suggest an outing at the local ren-faire as a five-star date. If Shani wasn’t allocated to being your DLC waifu, you would have loved to have had her replace The Witcher 3’s primary red-head romance option. Patience, reader, we’ll get to her.
