And last "Raven-black curls, wavy as a storm, cascade down to her shoulders, shining, reflecting the light like peacock feathers, swirling and rippling with every movement. Lips, wonderfully narrow and pale under lipstick." Pale skin, almost exactly opposite, triangular face - not really either, Curly thick hair - wavy at best, narrow, pale and contorted lips - not even close. I mean sure, she does not have to be exact copy of the novel, that is an authors fantasy. Also her eyes have been described as cold and evil numerous times.

@@lapislazuli6136 the people who make the program are interested in making money, therefore they want to make programs that reach the maximum number of viewers, not necessarily to please a devout niche of society, they owe nothing to the loyal fans they pillaged the original material from. How many times do producers and directors stray from original plots to smooth things or make the cinematic flow simpler, it can be soul destroying to a fan of a book to discover something has changed, however profit is the thing. How many people went out and bought the books after watching this project, I know I did, so I guess it achieved something for the original writer!

I'm not gonna lie. Anya is a very beautiful lady and i love her performance in the series very much. But the fan wasn't wrong though. The Witcher was written by a polish writer, based on polish folklores. However, Netflix being woke makes it diverse. Say, if a Chinese writer wrote books like witcher based on chinese folklores, and Netflix replace some Chinese characters with white people, that would be racist, isn't it? But some ppl being holier than thou, accuse people of racism when someone complain blackwashing. It's not racist. If someone is racist, that has to be the studio replacing white characters with Africans and Asians. Oh, don't get me wrong though. This coming from an Asian who lives in south east Asia.

Second, they have to tell someone she doesn't look like Yennefer, he probably can't say that in the face of screenwriters so he had to tell it to actress

This! I only wish she was a bit older. She looks a bit young to me. But the writing destroyed Yennefers character. Yennefer wouldn’t have entertained murdering Ciri for power and if she did Geralt would never forgive her. But look they also made Vesemir practically try to turn Ciri into a Witcher, which he would also NEVER do. The writers don’t care about the characters. Especially Geralt. Which is why Henry left. I stopped watching after season 3 anyways.
