Evolution of the characters in season 2 of The Witcher
The host of the show starts with Henry Cavill, and asked one of the most beating questions, “How has this bond changed Geralt as a character?”
To which Henry Cavill replies, “I’m not too sure if it is necessarily changed Geralt as a character. Geralt has an instinctual desire to protect, as we see in Season 1 when he is telling Roach about the first monster he killed. He is talking about protecting someone against other people. Throughout his life, he has then tried to fight this instinct, and ultimately, the instinct ends up winning a number of times, and that ends up getting him into more trouble. So, this is actually more like an unlocking for Geralt. She is the key to allowing him to really be who he has always wanted to be.”

The next important character is Yennefer played by Anya Chalotra. She has to make a lot of tough choices, especially after losing her powers. Anya explains her character evolution concerning Geralt and Ciri. She explains, “I kind of went through the motions, you know, with Yennefer, kind of moment to moment. In hindsight, she made some rash decisions. But I think, you know, she didn’t know to deal with the brutality of the world without magic.”
