Netflix released its third and final pair of first-look character images for “The Witcher” Season 2 on Wednesday, these two focusing on Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer of Vengerberg. The release followed the previous days’ drops second-season photos of Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) and Princess Ciri (Freya Allan).

In the photos of Yennefer, which you can see below, everyone’s favorite mage is battered and chained up following the Battle of Sodden Hill.
