Priscilla

Priscilla, stage name Callonetta, is a gifted Kovirian trobairitz, Dandelion’s great love and the singer of The Wolven Storm.

Priscilla is a romantic poet and trobairitz from Kovir who performs under the stage name Callonetta. When Geralt arrives in Novigrad, she is finishing a triumphant concert tour that has taken her from Pont Vanis and Lan Exeter through Tretogor and Caelf to the biggest city in the North. She is also a close friend of Dandelion, and in The Witcher 3 it becomes clear that she means more to him than any other woman. In her spare time she plays gwent with a Scoia’tael deck, just for fun and never for money.

Priscilla in The Witcher 3
In Broken Flowers, Geralt and Zoltan work out that the “Callonetta” Dandelion kept talking about is Priscilla, and find her at the Kingfisher Inn. There she sings The Wolven Storm, a song about Geralt and Yennefer, and holds the whole room spellbound. Afterwards she tells them Dandelion was planning to rob Sigi Reuven and was last seen with Whoreson Junior’s men on his heels.

Her clever mind helps again in The Play’s the Thing. To lure the hidden doppler Dudu out, she writes a new play with Geralt for Irina Renarde’s troupe, and can even be cast in it. In A Poet Under Pressure she brings word that the convoy carrying Dandelion leaves at dawn, then passes the time with Geralt over a game of gwent. Later she supports Dandelion’s plan to turn the Rosemary and Thyme into a cabaret during Cabaret, and she can pick the new décor herself.

What happens to Priscilla?
If Geralt finishes Cabaret, Priscilla is attacked on the day the Chameleon opens. Her attacker forces formaldehyde down her throat and cuts into her voice box. This starts Carnal Sins. She survives thanks to the surgeon Joachim von Gratz at Vilmerius Hospital, and Geralt tracks down the man behind the killings, the coroner Hubert Rejk, who turns out to be a vampire. Nearly losing her makes Dandelion realise she is the love of his life. The two plan to perform together, with Priscilla on the lute until her voice returns. After the main story, Dandelion can say that she is singing again, in a lower voice that he thinks sounds even better.
