for jess’ witcher verse, we’re flipping the script: she’s one of the girls born under the black sun and said to be cursed with madness and extraordinary cruelty. the peggies are a human black sun doomsday cult, looking to sacrifice girls like her to pave the way for lilit’s second coming and the end of all days. they kidnap her and her family, who end up killed, jess managing to escape. from that point on, she’s consumed by the need for revenge against the cultists and it becomes her only goal in life. naturally, this fits the prophecy just fine, only seving to highlight the girl’s unquenchable bloodthirst and monstruous nature, and therefore proving that she is indeed cursed. nature vs nurture at its finest. 

The Curse of the Black Sun was prophesied by the mage Eltibald, who predicted the return of Lilith, a mythical being who is to bring ruin upon the world. Lilith's second coming will be preceded by the appearance of "sixty maidens wearing gold crowns, who will fill the river valleys with blood," thus preparing the way.
