According to Narrative Designer [[Hugo Sahuquet]], Ciara was initailly meant to be the central antagonist instead of [[Eogan mac Cartaigh]].<ref>{{Twitter\|HugoShelter\|status/1434148243185745926\|Hugo Sahuquet\|quote=So, I've been cleaning my drive and finding some of the early narrative documents I made for Wrath of the Druids. It's really fun to read them now. I especially like this final slide that would be the team's take-away of the story. Yes, Ciara was initially the main antagonist.

	Ciara was raised as a wildly free child in the regions of [[Connacht]], coming from a family of druid pagans who encouraged her whims and desires. Eventually, her parents passed down their beliefs and she was taught how to sing. As a child, she was taught stories and songs about the ''[[Lia Fáil]]'', all of which concentrated on how it is brimming with beauty and divine powers.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Database: Ciara ingen Medba]]</ref>		Ciara was raised as a wildly free child in the regions of [[Connacht]], coming from a family of druid pagans who encouraged her whims and desires.

	At some point she discovered a region in the mountains which she designated as her personal spot. When Ciara grew up, she had a very deep connection to the Gaelic pagan faith as well as the pagans scattered across Ireland who still practiced Gaelic paganism. It is for this reason that she joined the [[Children of Danu]], believing them to be the key to maintain Gaelic paganism. However, after realizing the dark rituals and extremist terrorism the Children of Danu adhered to in hopes to revive their dying faith, she defected.<ref name="Wrath">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – [[Wrath of the Druids]]'' – {{Cite\|17 May 2021~~.

	It was for these peaceful native Gaelic pagans that Ciara decided to accept the post of Ollamh Érenn, the Bard of All Ireland. This gave her an equal social standing when compared to the {{Wiki\|High King of Ireland\|High King}} himself. She put in a lot of effort to have Ireland as well as the native Druids fight for Flann Sinna, seeing that Flann not only recognized her as an an important asset to Ireland, but also decided to allow the pagans to practice their faith freely, without discrimination from the Irish [[Christianity\|Christians]] or [[Norse people\|Norse]] settlers.<ref name="Wrath"/>		It was for these peaceful native Gaelic pagans that Ciara decided to accept the post of Ollamh Érenn, the Bard of All Ireland.

	Ciara belonged to a bloodline of druids attuned to the Celtic Piece of Eden, the Lia Fail. Since only known humans that were able to activate the Isu artifact had high counts of Isu DNA or are connected to an Isu being. This fact seems to indicate that Ciara's bloodline was somehow linked to the Isu or had a high count of Isu DNA.{{Fact\|20 May 2021}}		Ciara belonged to a bloodline of druids attuned to the Celtic Piece of Eden, the Lia Fail.
