![]() The same goes for Yennefer's character in the Netflix show, who chases selfish goals that change throughout the series. The showrunners of Netflix's The Witcher are not afraid to adapt directly from the source material, as well as add new aspects not seen in the books or Witcher 3, such as monoliths. The unchecked anger of Netflix's Yennefer stems from a lack of control over her life and not knowing what she wants, which is the polar opposite of the collected and motivated Yennefer seen in Witcher 3 and Sapkowski's novels. While this constant display of anger, sadness, and vulnerability in the show may be interpreted to add depth to Yennefer's character, it takes away the mystique of this elusive, powerful sorceress who can show vulnerability through her relationship with loved ones instead of infantile outbursts.

Witcher 3's Yennefer's resolve has been substituted for relentless self-interest, as Netflix's Yennefer seems far more narcissistic and stubborn. This decision for a personality change may have been made by the showrunners as the Netflix adaptation is set before the events of Witcher 3 and thus Yennefer may have grown up within that hiatus though, Yennefer's shift in temper seems far too dramatic for this to be the reason. On the contrary, Yennefer in Netflix's Witcher adaptation is markedly more emotional, consistently displaying varying levels of anger and dismay at everyone and everything. Yennefer's Personality Is Better In Witcher 3 Than Netflix's Series Not only is Witcher 3's Yennefer more mature, but she is also more in touch with herself and her needs, compared to the boarish Yennefer seen in Netflix's adaptation that hunts for beauty, power, and selfish desires. Although the show is set before the narrative of Witcher 3, there are only a few years between the events of the two.

The headstrong, determined Yennefer of Vengerberg seen in Witcher 3 from CD Projekt Red and Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher novels is adapted into a childish mage prone to loud emotional breakdowns when she does not get her way. Netflix's Yennefer is consistently petty, shallow, and does not know what she wants. ![]() Although Netflix explores Yennefer's backstory from the source material in more detail, a lot of her character is changed for the worse.
