Yennefer

Yennefer of Vengerberg (born on Belleteyn of the year 1173) was a sorceress who lived in the capital city of Aedirn - Vengerberg. She was the youngest member of the Council of Wizards and later the Lodge of Sorceresses. She was the love of witcher Geralt of Rivia and a mother figure for Ciri. The lady of Vengerberg was famous for her beauty, even though during the events of The Swallow's Tower she was 94 years old. She always dressed in black and white clothing. She used elderberry and gooseberry perfumes. She had purple eyes and raven black hair. She was a quadroon (she had1/4 of elven blood).

During the Battle of Sodden Hill she was blinded by Fringilla Vigo, a Nilfgaardian sorceress. Her sight was magically restored.

As most sorceresses, she was sterile. She secretly and vainly seeked a way of restoring the fertility. She gave her motherly love to Ciri - the child destined for Geralt by the Law of Surprise.

She used to counsel king Demawend of Aedirn.
