That is a delightful and lovely reminder. Thank you!

I haven't seen it, but apparently the most recent movie, Highlander: Dark Places, introduced a character named Ximena (her wiki page) who was a student of Ceirdwyn's. The character suffered her first death as a human sacrifice, and became not just a headhunter of immortals, but apparently a bloodthirsty killer of mortals, too.
Because the wiki doesn't differentiate its sources, I don't know what of this is coming from the movie on screen, in script, or elsewhere, like one of the games. They list 4 known students for Ceirdwyn; I look forward to that Watcher Chronicles CD-ROM telling me which were there at the time it was produced.
For myself, I don't count everything permitted by the intellectual property owners as equally canonical. I definitely see a gradient. :-) If they didn't want that to be true, well ... the poorly-written pro novels, and um, Highlander II, and the French cartoon, and the Japanese cartoon... ;-)
