Yennefer's actor in the upcoming Witcher series explains the character

Yennefer is an extremely important character in The Witcher, and she's being portrayed by Anya Chalotra in the Netflix series. In a Comic-Con interview, Chalotra gave a bit more insight into the character, and how she'll be handled in the Netflix adaptation.

"Yennefer is a sorceress, and she is the ultimate survivor. She's stubborn. She won't take no for an answer. She is in a constant battle with herself. She's also witty and brave and sexy. Yeah, and one of the most powerful mages on the continent. So in our version of The Witcher, we explore Yennefer's backstory. So we explore from her at 14 years old to when she's 77, and so within that there's that huge turning point for her when she discovers her powers and the purpose that that gives her. [...] And also the transformation. Yeah, and the journey of self-discovery she goes on from then on."
