In accordance with the sorceresses' tradition, any physical flaw, including her hunchback, was magically removed. Tissaia claimed that the purposefulness of her attempt was the only thing that prevented her from feeling contempt for her weakness, and continued her training.
During her training, Yennefer tried to kill herself by cutting both of her wrists, severing her tendons, though she survived. Īt some point, due to her magical potential, she was received in the Aretuza school for sorceresses, where rectoress Tissaia de Vries became her teacher and mother figure. After this, her mother, upset that her husband had left, also began to beat her own daughter. Her mother initially tried to protect Yennefer, believing it was by the will of the gods, but her father still struck Yennefer until one day he left them both for someone else. Her father immediately detested her due to this deformity and blamed Yennefer's mother for it, claiming it was through her side, with mages and elven blood, not to mention her having had an abortion before, that caused the deformity. Early life and studying at Aretuza īorn in 1173, Yennefer had a rough childhood from the moment she was born due to her congenital hunchback.
