Her voice was resonant and mildly derisive. She always dressed in black and white, at times wore stockings, wore frilled underwear but never wore trivialities with underwire, she didn't need to. Even in high-heeled shoes she wasn't tall, was beautiful but threatening, having incredibly thin and slender waist and slender legs. Yen had pronounced cheekbones, natural, slightly irregular eyebrows trimmed by hand and emphasized with charcoal, long eyelashes, and petite hands. On her long and slender neck hung a black marigold with a star made of obsidian sparkling with a multitude of tiny diamonds embedded in it. Yennefer's nose was slightly long, mouth was pale with thin and slightly crooked, soft, sweet with lipstick, proud lips.

Those very eyes also concealed wisdom and imperiousness. Her eyes were cold and sparkling with a remarkable violet penetrating gaze, in anger blazing with livid, blue-gray fire. Her face was very pale, triangular in shape with a slightly receded chin.

Yennefer had locks of curly, raven black hair fragrant with lilac and gooseberry perfume, falling in a cascade of curls on her shapely shoulders. The lady of Vengerberg was famous for her beauty, even though she was nearly a century old. She gave her motherly love to Ciri - the child destined for Geralt by the Law of Surprise - teaching her about magic while in Ellander, at the Temple of Melitele under the watchful eye of Nenneke. She secretly sought a way of restoring her fertility. Like most sorceresses, Yennefer is sterile.

Her sight was later magically restored but she still bore the emotional scars. After this, her mother, upset that her husband had left, also began to beat her own daughter.ĭuring the Battle of Sodden Hill she was blinded by Fringilla Vigo, a Nilfgaardian sorceress. Her mother initially tried to protect Yennefer, believing it was by the will of the gods, but her father still struck Yennefer until one day he left them both for someone else. Her father immediately detested her due to this deformity and blamed Yennefer's mother for it, claiming it was through her side, with mages and elven blood, not to mention her having had an abortion before, that caused the deformity. Born in 1173, Yennefer had a rough childhood from the moment she was born, having been born a hunchback.
