Netflix’sThe Witcherdid a fine job as a rare video game adaptation that left fans mostly pleased with what they got. While writer Lauren S. Hissrich did take some creative liberties, the decision to give Yennefer of Vengerberg an upgrade means cosplayers have two powerful women to look up to.
AlthoughThe Witcher’s first season did get some criticism thrown its way due to what some considered to be confusing exposition through a lot of time skips, this didturn Yennefer and Ciri into more captivating characterswho can now be built upon even more. While early season two previews show that Anya Chalotra’s Yennefer has seen better days, that’s not going to stop her aspiring doppelganger fans from remembering her best looks.

For cosplayer Michelle Reed, the chance to dress up as Yennefer of Vengerberg was simply too good to pass on because she and Chalotra could easily be mistaken for sisters, the real-life kind, not the Aretuza type. While it’s safe to say this cosplayer’s beauty is the product of some rather privileged genes instead of risky magical procedures, the similarity between the two women is simply uncanny.
Assuming Reed isn’t also blessed with Yennefer’s violet eyes, her contacts and outfit certainly match the sorceress’s regal attire when she’s out there playing political chess, so it’s a stark contrast between this andThe Witcher 3’s Yennefer. While Yennefer’s exotic beauty is a highly debated topic for fans ofThe Witcher, it’s clear both the video game and Netflix version of the character have each given her an instantly recognizable face for those poised to dive inAndrzej Sapkowski’sWitchernovels.
WithThe Witcher’s second season now officially slated by Netflix as a fall-winter release, plus theimpending upgradeThe Witcher 3is gettingon new consoles, there’s no better time than today to indulge in the Continent’s vast lore and find out more about The Wild Hunt. As showrunners get ready to tackle the franchise’s lore head-on, it’s safe to say Yennefer’s powers will continue to outshine Geralt’s in some cases or that Ciri will continue to diverge from herThe Witcher 3 counterpart.
Chalotra isn’t the only real-life femme fatale with a doppelganger, as even Scarlett Johansson hasBlack Widowfans who probably look more like her compared to any stunt-double. At least those two don’t have to worry about recreating wacky anime hairdos like thosecosplaying asPokemon’smost fashionable Team Rocket goon.
