[5e][PF2e] How would you build Ciri? (No spoilers) (ttrpg.network)

(In the absense of a WhatWouldYouBuild type of community, I figure 3d6 is the closest place here for such things, but correct me if I'm wrong.)

How would you build, in either D&D 5e or Pathfinder 2e, Cirilla of Cintra, based on her powers and abilities exhibited in the beginning of season 3 of The Witcher? She had the battle-prowess of a witcher, but she doesn't use her magic in combat. Her magic is powerful enough to stand against very strong sorcerers, but seems to mostly be reactionary rather than intentional.

[5e] Astral Elf or Eladrin would be perfect to have all the teleportation the Ciri does, as their Fey Step or Astral Step will allow a lot of trivial, non-spellcasting 30 foot teleportations. And bonus: Ciri is part elf!

Additionally Relentless Hex will allow the character to teleport directly to their hexed opponent.

Medium armor is there to represent aesthetics as well. Additionally, Invocations can be learned for Planeshift, teleport, and other flavorful selections to represent Ciri's ability to traverse different worlds entirely. Additionally, turn by turn a hexblade can get by without using magical blasts, just using their sword and various things that boost the damage output.

And while the OneD&D UA for Warlock doesn't have the hexblade class yet, I feel like it would more easily represent Ciri's casual use of magic as well as the depths of magical ability she can sometimes call on.
