The Witcher 3: 20 Characters Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Yoana

The Witcher Yoana
CD Projekt Red

Found at Crow's Perch in Velen, Yoana initially seems to be a minor character as the assistant of a reliable Dawrven armourer. Once you pursue the 'Master Armorers' quest, however, she proves to be far more important.

Employed to act as the assistant to the apparently masterful dwarf, Yoana proves to Geralt that it is in fact she who is the craftsman and that she should be the one getting the business and the praise. Geralt can help Yoana realise this goal, and in turn she will be able to provide the Witcher with excellent equipment.

Yoana's rise against adversity is a nice touch in a game that's obviously very aware of its place in our real society. The developers very cleverly subvert a fictional notion of superiority as they present evidence of truth to the sentiment that no person is unequal due to their standing or heritage. Nice work, CD Projekt RED!
