Netflix has released a series of character introductions for the upcoming Witcher series

I recalled something from the books about it and did a quick look around and found the following expert from The Last Wish:
Unlike priestesses and druidesses, who only unwillingly took ugly or crippled girls, sorcerers took anyone who showed evidence of a predisposition. If the child passed the first years of training, magic entered into the equation - straightening and evening out legs, repairing bones which had badly knitted, patching harelips, removing scars, birthmarks and pox scars. The young sorceress would become attractive because the prestige of her profession demanded it. The result was pseudo-pretty women with the angry and cold eyes of ugly girls. Girls who couldn't forget their ugliness had been covered by the mask of magic only for the prestige of their profession.
There's also mention of Geralt noticing her shoulders were lopsided and realising she used to be hunchbacked

I've recently read the books and I don't recall Yennefer's background to have been explored by Sapkowski. Maybe I've slept through it. :)
