Character Name & Journal: Yennefer of Vengerberg (choicely)
Guild Affiliation: Yen is definitely going to be sussing out her options first before immediately jumping into an affiliation with any one side — she'll want to determine where it benefits her the most to align herself, and possibly even settle on being unaffiliated at the end of it all depending on what she learns. Basically, right now she's feeling things out.
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: The Cliff's Notes version is that Yennefer is a sorceress from a place in the world of The Witcher called the Continent, and as of her canon point has a bit of atoning to do for recent past actions, up to and including brief child kidnapping (not her finest moment, but definitely her most desperate hour!). Anyway, she won't be entirely convinced that her arrival here isn't another Convergence (which is a phenomenon that happened in her own world wherein several worlds combined in on one another and led to things like humans and elves and monsters co-existing in the same space), so she's going to be looking pretty deeply into how she got here and what it might be a sign of, as well as talking to whoever she can about what they've gone through so far. She tends to like to acquire information without always offering any in return (mostly about herself), so folks can look forward to being light interrogated without necessarily learning much beyond what she's willing to share!
Plot/CR Hooks: Yennefer at her current canon point is in a very different place, emotionally, than she would be at any other time in the series — she's still very guarded in terms of her feelings, but she's also been somewhat more humbled by her experience with losing her magic for a time and isn't in the same position of taking it for granted. I don't have any immediate goals or aims for her, and I tend to do a lot of CR-based plotting as well, so the closer she gets to certain people, the more potential there is for plans to take shape and evolve.
In terms of CR wishes, really just here to toss her at everyone and anyone! Some types she might more inclined toward are: people who hail from any kind of magic-based world (or worlds that include magic or another form of power) would be a source of fascination for her, ladies especially; fellow olds/immortals who are actually much older than they appear (Yen is in her early eighties or so); 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, at this stage, is probably not in the cards for her, at least outside of a select few, but she could potentially 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 she could even lend herself to more than a few frenemies or begrudging allies as well.
I have a small permissions post written up for her as well; 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!
