In the books yen uses magic to hide her hunchback and ugliness. Geralt being a Witcher and therefore trained/experienced to analyse magic in front of him quickly sees through the illusion. If the show had the character look uglier to begin with then that's probably a result of adapting the books. I haven't watched the show as I don't really like adaptations. Btw it's not just Yen that uses magic to hide ugliness either, almost all other sorceresses do as well in the books including Triss.

Interesting, in the show it isn't really an illusion, they physically change her.

It's also like that in the books. In the book Geralt can somehow see it in her eyes. He says they're the eyes of a hunchback or something along those lines.

Maybe he's not sure and it's just a hunch.

Geralt read some meninim playbook and tried to neg the fuck out of her.

"You are beautiful but I see hunchback in your eyes."

He said it in his head hahaha not in to her

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

She is very strong character in the books. He means despite the front he still sees the pain of rejection inher eyes.

Dude, you totally have club foot eyes!

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

You’re a knockout but you have the eyes of someone who grew up poor and fat so I know you have a great personality
