The Witcher 3's Yennefer of Vengerberg has been reimagined as a kunoichi in CD Projekt Red's newest figurine. You can pre-order it at the studio's gear store for $380 for December 2021.
The figure is 17 inches, made of polystone, and hand-painted. It's called Yennefer the Kunoichi. In this rendition, she's atop a Feudal Japanese-style rooftop with a Wolf School banner and a white and ginger cat.

"Few can master the shadow arts of ninjutsu," the page opened, "To even come close, one must hold near-unattainable levels of fortitude, skill, and inner strength. Here, with this 12-inch hand-painted figure, we envision Yennefer as a powerful kunoichi from ancient Japan – finely tuned to the demands of a life shrouded in such deadly darkness."
For context, male ninjas were called tajikara while female ninjas were labeled as kunoichi. The role they often played was that of spies, infiltrating their enemies' lives, often posing as maids and the like as to gather information from those surrounding their target.
In the novels, the Netflix series, and the games, Yennefer is a sorceress who is often described as Geralt's one true love: "Whether a magic-wielding sorceress or a stealthy warrior of the night, Yennefer is always prepared for a battle. Guided by her two-tailed nekomata familiar, Yennefer finds herself adrift atop a ruined temple roof, submerged in the waters of a long-abandoned battlefield marked by a Wolf School nobori banner."
A nobori is a long Japanese banner, often attached to a pole, while a nekomata is a type of cat yōkai from Japanese folklore. Yōkai, to clarify, are supernatural spirits and entities.
Yennefer also wields a ninjatō blade with tekkō-kagi hand claws. You can pre-order now if you want this unique take on one of The Witcher 3's fan-favorite characters to spice up your home decor.
