Yennefer Vogel
Yennefer Vogel
A powerful sorceress.
She has the appearance of a beautiful young woman and always avoids answering when people ask how old she is.
Early life
She was born in a small village somewhere on the west coast of the human kingdom, not much is known about her younger years or her family. All she has revealed on purpose or by accident is that she had a difficult childhood and her only friend was an old sorcerer by the name of Alistair. The sorcerer himself had no one, young Yennefer and Alistair spent a lot of time together; She was like a daughter to Alistair and he taught her the basics of magic over the years. One day, only a few weeks after her 14th birthday Alistair went on a mission to retrieve a magic artefact. He told Yennefer he will only be gone for 2 days but ended up having disappeared for 2 years during which Yennefer was forced to fend for herself. She lived in his tower and learned from Alistair's books which helped her survive the time he was gone. When he finally returned Yennefer hated him, he had broken her trust in her eyes. He tried to explain himself but Yennefer wouldn't listen and ran away crying into the night. She lost track of how long she had been running and walking, it could have been days or weeks.The mercenaries
One day she met a group of mercenaries sparring in the forest, when they approached her and asked what a girl like Yennefer is doing alone in the woods she simply said that she can fend for herself and could fight off anyone she met. The mercenaries laughed and told her to prove it, they surrounded her laughing but Yennefer wasn't afraid, she used one of the spells she had learned in Alistair's tower and blasted all of them off their feet at the same time. Impressed the mercenaries got back up and asked her to join them, which she gladly did. She travelled and fought together with the mercenaries for 5 years earning a fair bit of coin for herself. During one mission, she got separated from the mercenaries in a large cave system after getting overwhelmed by blind cave ogres, she ran and got lost in the cave system for a week, living off her rations and mushrooms she found.Aurvandale
After thinking she will never find an exit out of this blasted cave system, she saw a light in the distance. It wasn't like the glowing fungus she had seen so far, it looked like... A FIRE!. She carefully approached the source of light and saw a young man draped in a cloak with a funny pointy hat and a wooden staff reading a book near a camp fire. Yennefer observed him for a bit and after deciding it's better to risk a fight than to continue being lost in this cave system she approached him. As she stepped into the light, the young wizard dropped the book and quickly pointed his staff at her yelling: "Who are you?". Not risking any chances, she quickly used a spell that granted her a magic shield after which she simply said: "I am Yennefer and I want to get out of this cave, I'm not going to harm you.". The young wizard replied: "Oh, I am the wizard Aurvandale, I can show you the exit.". Together they left the cave. The light of the sun causing a bitter sweet burning in her eyes. "Daylight!" Yennefer excitedly yelled. Aurvandale laughed and asked: "How long have you been wandering around down there?". "Far too long, maybe a week or two?" She replied. Aurvandale looked surprised and said: "Right, well good thing I found you then.". Yennefer looked at him and mentioned with a grin: "Hey, I found you. And spooked you.". "Well I guess that's true." He replied while scratching the back of his head. Yennfer and Aurvandale travelled together for a few days, going on some exploratory quests Aurvandale seemed to enjoy going on; Yennefer wouldn't admit it but she enjoyed going with him on these quests. They travelled together and were adventuring for a while, helping the occasional village out with their monster problems for some gold pieces, Yennefer and Aurvandale fighting side by side had become quiet the team. It didn't take long for Aurvandale and Yennefer to take a liking to one another, they fell in love. The couple used their magic to build a tower together in which the lived for 3 years and went on missions out of. One fateful night Yennefer had a dream about Alistair telling her that he needs her help, it is about life and death. Waking up with a jolt she woke up Aurvandale, telling him about her dream and that they had to leave right away. They packed their bags and left the tower, not having any directions to go off Yennefer simply followed her gut on which direction to go in. After travelling for 2 months the two finally arrived at a ruined tower, Yennefer recognised it as Alistairs tower. They went inside of what was left, they searched through the rubble hoping to find Alistair but only found a letter which was surprisingly undamaged.The mission
The letter talked about how sorry Alistair was for leaving Yennefer behind and that he had never forgiven himself for it. Yennefer teared up reading this part. It then went on to talk about Alistair having found an artefact that can grant mortals immortality and him wanting Yennefer to have it. The only problem was that the artefact was stolen from the tower by a powerful monster which had no name and Yennefer will have to go get the ring back herself. It ended saying that Alistair has gone on an important mission to save his soul, he did not explain what exactly he meant by that. Yennefer read the letter out to Aurvandale after which she gave him a long hug and informed him that she wants to go find the ring with him. They traced the residues of magic which presumably the monster left behind. After sifting through some caves and crypts the couple finally found the location of the monster, an old castle. They carefully went inside. As soon as they entered they got attacked by harpies, which they dispatched without too much trouble; undoubtedly servant creatures of whatever destroyed Alistair's tower. They continued deeper and deeper into the castle halls, getting attacked numerous times by servant monsters. The monsters occasionally managed to land a hit which the pair patched up with some bandages and potions. The couple finally reached a large hall, it was dark inside, the windows of the hall blocked by something. Aurvandale lit a torch. The torch illuminated part of the hall and before them they saw a weak looking Alistair with torn clothing, he looked at them and simply said quietly: "Run". The large doors behind Yennefer and Aurvandale slammed shut, out of the darkness they saw a huge dark figure step into the dim torchlight in front of them. Alistair was swiftly thrown into the air and remained there hovering. Aurvandale and Yennefer grabbed each others hand for a moment and then got ready for a fight, casting several spells of protection and empowerment. The monster revealed itself as a demon of Beliar and started attacking the pair with powerful spells. Aurvandale and Yennefer are having an extremely tough time fighting back, the demon seemed to be almost immune to their spells. The fight was looking bad, Yennefer and Aurvandale having received several injuries and are getting exhausted mentally casting so many spells. Aurvandale yells: "We need to leave, this thing is going to kill us!" to which Yennefer replied: "Never, we are not leaving Alistair behind!". They continued fighting but it just got worse and worse. Aurvandale decided to use one of his staffs hidden abilities, it casted a large area of dead magic to which even the demon seemed affected by. Alistair dropped to the floor unconscious. Yennefer swaying left and right, injured and exhausted tried to walk to Alistair but Aurvandale grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back out of the large chamber through the doors which now were openable to which she tried to protest against and screaming abuse at Aurvandale. She saw the monster pick Alistair up just before Aurvandale dragged her around a corner. Yennefer fell unconcious, Aurvandale picked her up with the last of his strength and carried her out of the castle. Yennefer awakened in a village with Aurvandale by her side. As soon as she remembered what had happened, she slapped Aurvandale in the face and started walking away yelling abuse at him. She said she can never forgive him for leaving Alistair behind and hated Aurvandale now. Aurvandale stopped following her, his eyes swelled up with tears but Yennefer kept walking away. Yennefer built another tower far away and wasn't heard from again.Physical Description
