Background: background
Personality:
Open the bottle, let your chaos explode
Yennefer comes into the world rather miserably. She’s born deformed because she’s a quarter-elf, and she is bullied and abused for most of her early life. Even when Tissaia rescued her, she wasn't kind to her. Yennefer learned from a very early age that her world was harsh and cruel, and nobody was going to look out for her but herself. Other people, they always disappoint you. Her own stepfather sold her for four marks, it was all that she was worth to him.She hated who she was. When she first came to Aretuza she tried to kill herself by slashing her wrists, thinking it was the only choice she had -- that it was at least, her choice. But Tissaia saves her, and forces her to keep learning.
And Yennefer flourishes, but while others learn to control their chaos and emotions, Yennefer is often run by her own. She impulsive, foolish, and more than anything else, she is angry. She thinks the world owes her because she has been so miserably treated. She thinks that the people who have hurt her, who have taken things from her, they deserve to suffer from it. She learns to refuse for the ugly parts of her personality, even as her outward appearance becomes more beautiful. She is a slytherin through and through, she is ambitious and puts her own survival above almost everything else. She's very good at manipulating people to get what she wants -- when Geralt first meets her we see her having basically a whole town seduced and under her skill. She learns how to use people's underestimation of her to her advantage.
But no woman is an island, and Yennefer feels a deep, deep loneliness at her core. She has always been alone, and she fears she always will be. That no matter what she does, no matter what she manages to actually accomplish, it will not be enough. Istredd and Tissaia both tell her at points that no matter how powerful or beautiful she is, no one will ever love her. She feels that deeply. She thought if she was beautiful, if she was powerful, she would finally feel important but decades past and she is still found wanting. This is part of why she latches onto the idea of having a child -- not only because the choice was taken from her and she hates when choices are taken from her -- but because she wants to be important to someone. And when she begins to be involved with Geralt it feels like maybe, for once, she is.
But Yennefer has trust issues and when she finds out about Geralt's wish, how he bound their fates together through the djin, she is unable to trust her own feelings, let alone his. She finally had the love she's craved for her entire life, and it's not enough. At this point, she is tired and worn out, and resigned to die.
And yet, when Tissaia and the other sorceresses reach out for her help at Sodden Hill, she agrees to fight. Yennefer may seem selfish, but when Nilfgard attacks she cannot turn a blind eye and let all those people die without fighting back. And she does fight. She gives commands, she reaches out to other, and when it finally comes down to it, she lets it all out. All that anger, all that resentment, all that pain, she lets it out in a fiery explosion that envelopes the battlefield.
She still has some fight in her, it turns out. She's not ready to give up like she thought.
Weaknesses/Temptations:
Yennefer is desperate for love and acceptance. She has never felt good enough, never felt like she could be truly loved. She wants to be important to people, to matter. Despite her airs of ego, she is deeply insecure.
She also would be very tempted by a chance to get her fertility back.
Sins:
Pride
Wrath
Envy
Taking away people's will
Encouraging people's sexual desires without consent
Assault
Inability to save a baby
Going against authority
Not going to Nilfgard like she was supposed to
Trying to channel a djin into herself
Attempted suicide
Pushing her friend into the energy pool
Forging her father's signature
Mass murder
Letting chaos explode
Using her sexuality as a weapon
Powers/Abilities:
Yennefer is a powerful sorceress who is capable of all sorts of magic. One of her favorites is using telepathy to invade others minds -- but I would always ask players permissions before doing this, and plan on having a permissions post.
She can also create teleport circles but obviously that will be nerfed so she can't escape hell or anything like that.
Items:
-a morter and pestel
-a makeup kit from her era
-a bag of various herbs for spells
-a small knife
-a flower
-her sword
