About

Ranni the Witch is an NPC in the 2022 RPG Elden Ring depicted as a blueish-tinted woman with a large witch's hat, a white dress and a scar across her right eye. The character became popularized among the game's player base for her design, inspiring a wave of fan art and memes in early 2022.

Origin

Ranni the Witch is one of the first NPCs players can encounter in FromtSoftware's Elden Ring,^[1] released on February 25th, 2022. If they so choose, players can engage in a questline for Ranni that, if completed, offers players access to one of the game's endings. Ranni's character design is depicted as a four-armed blue witch with a large hat and flowing cloak.

There is, in my service, a half-wolven warrior by the name of Blaidd.
