Yennefer of Vengerberg is from (you guessed it) Vengerberg, and started out life as a downtrodden girl with a curved spine and partial facial paralysis. However, when she accidentally portals herself to Aretuza (the Mage academy) she starts out on a new journey where she learns to hone her magical abilities under Tissaia\u2019s teachings. Eventually, she uses magic to heal her medical issues thanks to a painful procedure which uses her own reproductive organs to make her \u201cbeautiful\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yennefer crosses paths with Geralt a few times, and the two fall for each other. From there, Yennefer becomes one of the most powerful Mages in the Continent, even conjuring up vast waves of fire to defeat the Nilfgaardian army during the Battle of Sodden Hill. She disappears after the battle, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see how her friends deal with the loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much like Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra is best known for playing Yennefer in The Witcher \u2013 although she starred in the BBC series Wanderlust back in 2018 as Jennifer Ashman. She\u2019s one of the older pupils at the school the Richards family send their son Tom (Joe Hurst) to during the series. She also stars in The ABC Murders miniseries as Lily Marbury, and manages to hold her own against the likes of John Malkovich\u2019s Hercule Poirot and Rupert Grint\u2019s Inspector Crome. However she really proves her acting prowess as Yennefer, and she\u2019s definitely got a bright career ahead of her.<\/span><\/p>\n
