As are all sorceresses...a bit conniving or don`t let the right hand know what the left one is doing but to each his own i guess .

Personally i sure wouldn`t want to tick one off , hard telling where you might end up and with what appendage that might be missing !
I think she's strictly into lesbomancy, isn't she?

And all the sorceresses in the game are babes. :)

All sorceresses, period. It's part of the setting - one of the first things most girls do upon discovering that they have near boundless mystical power is reshape their bodies into ageless personal ideals of beauty.

ngl I'd do the same. I wonder if they can change shape at will or if they are stuck with one form of 'ideal' beauty forever...
FLOG YOUR LECHEROUS BODIES.

I would do the same as well although I'd perhaps mix it up in terms of body type etc., just cuz I could. =D

Yeah, that's why I was wondering if they can change at will. It would be fun to sport a different body type each week :D

Philippa's the only one said to have mastered the art of shape-shifting. The others seem to be to some degree restricted in what they can do to change their appearance.

One the one hand, Yennefer is said to have once been a hunchback and is still noticeably a "bit lopsided". However, Triss (in the games) seems to have made a remarkable total recovery from the disfiguring wound she suffered at Sodden Hill.

Indeed. Moreover, much if not most sorceresses were originally extremely ugly girls. They were sent to sorcery schools by their families because they were unable to perform normal "family duties", i.e. be married in arranged union for the benefit of their clans. They often experienced mistreatment and bullying as youths, which is at least partially responsible for their mean, vindictive characters and being prone to intrigues.

The only one specifically mentioned with that skill, which in no way means that others do not share it. ;^)

Very true indeed. However even the most comely of daughters could share in some of the social ineptitudes in spite of any training they might have received while growing up. It would be a good way to get rid of a problem child who does not quite conform to any social norms of the period. My kinda club! WOO HOO!

No, it's repeatedly stated that Philippa is one of the few with this ability. Meaning most other sorceresses cannot.

I'm not sure I have. Triss's appearance in game is not canon, so it doesn't count. Yennefer, despite whatever magics were available to her, has not entirely overcome her deformity.

Not strictly. She was the lover of the head of Redania's intelligence service (a very large man) for awhile. She's the sort who wants sex done well--male or female--and if it comes with added professional benefit, all the better. I think real romantic attachment is what Philippa avoids.

Where is it said that Yennefer is still physically lopsided? Maybe I missed it. Geralt could tell when he first met her that she had emotional scars from being abused as a child for her appearance, but sorceresses consider beauty a matter of professional pride and "repair" physical damage whenever possible. Hence CDPR's willingness to indulge in a little cosmetic restoration of Triss's scars even though Sapkowski never lets her recover fully.

Said by the Wiki to be mentioned in "The Last Wish". Maybe where Geralt realizes that Yennefer used to be a hunchback.
