Short-sighted? Riiight. NOBODY in the Witcher saga is without flaws. I didn't say that Yennefer didn't make any mistakes. She did. But also she did many positive things. Yennefer is one of the main characters in Witcher saga. Triss is not. If you are mentioning books (which you've read, right?) Triss is sunny, cheerful, cowardly, immature, deceptive/manipulative. She's unlike other sorceresses in that while most are direct and aggressive, Triss is passive-aggressive. She sometimes tries to do the right thing but is ultimately cowed by others and her own timidity. Her crush on Geralt in the saga starting in Blood of Elves progresses from cute to creepy to pathetic. She still has her eye on him even after Geralt and Yen tell her off. Near the end of the books she shows signs of tiny growth due to the harsh events of the saga - becoming a tougher person as though bits of Philippa have rubbed off on her. However CDPR chose not to continue this line of characterization, instead choosing to portray her as the sweet girl archetype for W2/3. In the books Triss knows she has no chance. It's not her destiny. Geralt/Yen/Ciri are the trinity permanently bound by destiny. Geralt only loved Yennefer in books. He refused Triss and he perfectly knew why. If you failed to see that reading all eight books...I don't know then.
