Men always seemed to think violence could solve anything. If she had had a stout stick,
she would have thumped all three of them about the shoulders until they saw reason.
Allegiance: The Light, Egwene, Lan.
Title(s): Former Wisdom of Emonds Field, Aes Sedai of the Yellow Ajah, Mashiara, Maryim, Nana.
Favorite Saying: Sometimes it would be good to just hit people until they see reason.

26 years old. Slender and short, young and pretty. She has dark colouring with a dark braid pulled over her shoulder. Very strong willed, she always does what she believes must be done, never backing down from her duty.

She is regularly giving over to fits of temper and insults. Prickly at best, unbearable at worst. She hates Moiraine and blames her for everything that has occurred, hating her as much as Seanchan, but didn't hide her hate as well as she thinks. She fell in love with Lan soon after leaving the Two Rivers, but he continually put her off. She is brave to the point of madness, but believes herself a coward.

An only child, Nynaeve's father treated her like the son he never had, teaching her woodcraft and the like. Nynaeve was orphaned around the age of 14, and soon after was taken apprentice by Doral Barran, the Emond's Field Wisdom. When Doral died, Nynaeve became the Wisdom, perhaps the youngest ever.

She left the Two Rivers on the heels of Moiraine and the group, tracking them to Baerlon with the intention of bringing back the Emond's Field folk. As she was unable to do this she was determined to keep them safe.

She was soon informed that she was a wilder, having learnt to channel herself. The first time she channeled was to cure Egwene of breakbone fever in 990 NE, and continued to make miraculous cures thereafter. When learning unknowingly to channel, she learned to tell the weather. This talent has changed to also predict storms of a social nature. She is a quick learner, as quick as Rand, and is a great believer in justice.

She went to the White Tower with Egwene, and became an Accepted immediately. Later, Liandrin led her, Egwene, Elayne and Min to Falme, where she was to be made damane. Nynaeve and Elayne avoided capture, and later helped Egwene and Min escape. They got back to the White Tower just in time to go hunting the Black Ajah.

Nynaeve, Egwene and Elayne went to Tear on the chase, were captured by Liandrin and company and were rescued by Mat and Juilin. Nynaeve then left with Elayne, chasing the Black Ajah to Tanchico. While in Tanchico, Nynaeve captured Moghedian only to have her escape.

After helping the Panarch regain power, Nynaeve left with Elayne moving into Amadicia where they joined a traveling menagerie. This took them to Ghealdan where they left for Salidar with the remaining Shienarans, who until that time had stayed with Masema.

On a jaunt to Tel'aran'rhiod, Nynaeve managed to capture Moghedian using an a'dam. On the same jaunt and while dragging Moghedian around she helped Rand kill Rahvin by scorching him unexpectedly, and was very nearly killed herself. Elayne made an a'dam that looks like a necklace and had "Marigan" as a servant, while secretly trying to wring lost secrets from the Age of Legends out of her.

With Siuan, Leane and Logain around she decided to find out how to Heal them of severing and was immediately ostracised by the Yellow Ajah for foolish endeavours. She Healed Logain and then Siuan and Leane. However Logain was back to full strength while Siuan and Leane are less than half their strength. She has a special way of Healing using Fire and Earth where conventional healing only uses Air, Water and Spirit.

She went to Ebou Dar and found the Bowl of Winds with Elayne. They made a terribly one sided bargain with the Sea Folk, captured a Black Sister and apologised to Mat for their behaviour, offering themselves for his protection, Nynaeve grinding her teeth. Also, Lan and Nynaeve finally married.

After leaving Ebou Dar, she was a member of the circle that fixed the weather through the bowl. When the Seanchan attacked the farm owned by the Kin, she and Elayne led the Kin, the Sea Folk and Aes Sedai to Caemlyn.

Nynaeve is a terrible cook and a terrible sewer. At least she admits about the sewing. She believes anything short of death must be Healable.

Becoming very strong in the One Power, she is as strong as Moghedien and not yet at full strength. Her father died some years earlier, but always treated her as the son he never had. Her mother was Elnore.
