During this time, Yennefer educated Ciri on the basics of magic... or rather, she let the girl see her female warlock side.
No doubt, Ciri's identity as a Magic Source also destined her to become an extraordinary female warlock.
So it can almost be considered that Yennefer is showing Ciri what she might become in the future.
Yennefer has a strong personality, even to the point of being autocratic.
However, despite being rebellious and defiant, Ciri surprisingly doesn't dislike it.
Perhaps it's because she is gradually realizing that she might also become 'this cool' in the future.
As Yennefer says, learning magic is a systematic major project, one that she alone cannot teach well or comprehensively.
But at least she taught Ciri what kind of people female warlocks she might become in the future are.
Strong-willed, independent, contemptuous of most societal rules, and... learning to respect strength.
