CHARACTER: Yennefer of Vengerberg
CANON: The Witcher (Netflix series)
CANON POINT: post-2x08, "Family"
INFO: Yennefer is a sorceress from Vengerberg, the capital city of Aedirn (which exists within a place known as the Continent); she grew up severely disfigured and ostracized in her small village due to her quarter-elf heritage, and was eventually sold by her family to rectoress Tissaia de Vries to undergo magic training at Aretuza, an academy for young women who have a connection to Chaos (the name for the magical force in The Witcher). After overcoming certain obstacles, she ascended to the position of sorceress, and after a harrowing and painful magical ordeal, she was also transformed physically into her current body. She became the personal mage to the king of Aedirn, cleaning up political messes and babysitting annoying royals, until she got tired of her position and ditched it to offer magic remedies to any people willing to pay her for them; after that, she was drifting around the Continent looking for any solution that would restore her ability to become a mother herself. At the end of the first season, she channeled a ridic amount of fire to fend off advancing enemy forces at the Battle of Sodden Hill, but the consequences (as revealed at the beginning of Season 2) were the depletion of her power entirely, and she went the entire season without access to her Chaos before a selfless act resulted in having that power restored. She started the series as someone fixated on power and control and wanted to be able to make every choice for her life regarding both; now, she's in a position where she's realizing that having that power is likely the result of her not trying to maintain such a harsh grip on it all the time, and her real strength might be found in a new family (provided they can forgive her for past actions).
REGRET: Yennefer's biggest regret is her initial betrayal of Geralt (and by extension, Ciri) in Season 2; even if she didn't inevitably go through with it and ultimately worked to fight against the biggest threat to the girl's safety at the end of the season, it remains her most significant transgression against two people she cares for and something she would actively seek to change if she could. It's going to take her a long time to get around to opening up about it, and in the midst of pursuing various means to undo it there's no telling what she might be willing to resort to in order to reverse that action.
CR WISHLIST: Honestly, everyone and anyone! People who hail from any kind of magic-based world (or worlds that include magic or other form of power) would be a source of fascination for her, ladies especially; non-humans who might be able to recognize that she is not fully human herself; fellow olds/immortals who are actually much older than they appear (Yen is in her early 80s and thriving obvs); children/young adults that she might make an attempt to mother in her own misguided way; more talkative/outgoing characters for her to either tolerate or barely disguise her annoyance for. Romance is probably not in the cards for her (outside of one silver-haired witcher in particular), but she could pursue some type of casual physical relationship with someone she found intriguing enough or wasn't seriously irritated by — even a friends-with-occasional-benefits situation where there's no risk of deeper emotions coming into play. I'm definitely not opposed to negative CR in the slightest because she's got a tendency to rub people the wrong way by her very nature and has even fewer fucks to give about maintaining deep emotional connections, and she could lend herself to more than a few frenemies or begrudging allies as well.
RECAP: Yennefer went on her first mission! And survived! She also discovered that while her magic is at half-performance level on the station, she can tap into a whole lot more on missions, so that was rather exciting. Now she is just Very Tired and trying to recuperate before the next mission comes up, so she's open for some meetings and random encounters on the station in the downtime. She's also just waiting for the right moment to be able to portal her roomie Billy Butcher out of an airlock to prove a point, but right now they are cohabitating successfully (just... probably also with a lot of bickering coming from their room).
ETC: Here's a permissions post if anyone needs it; Yen's canon has some particular warnings of note that could be triggering, so if you'd prefer to avoid any mention of certain subjects in her tags (or opt out of interactions where those subjects might come up), please let me know!

I'm not sure Natasha is actually convinced she's atoned for hers. She's got a lot of processing to do there. Good luck to them both.
