'''Nynaeve al'Meara''' was born in the year 974 NE, is eight years older than [[Egwene]] ({{tdr|51}}; {{loc|48}}), and four years older than [[Rand]], [[Mat]] and [[Perrin]]. As an only child, her father raised her as if she was the son he never had. Before he died, her father taught her to track as well as anyone but [[Tam al'Thor]] ({{teotw|16}}).  
  
 
By the age of fourteen, Nynaeve was orphaned and taken under the wing of Mistress [[Doral Barran]], the [[Emond's Field]] [[Wisdom]] at the time ({{teotw|20}}). She taught her all her skills, and when she died Nynaeve became the Wisdom ({{teotw|1}}), possibly the youngest known. Nynaeve had served as the Wisdom of Emond's Field five years prior to her departure ({{tdr|28}}), and despite being so young for such a position ({{teotw|3}}), no villager was foolish enough to mention her age when arguing with her.

Nynaeve is slender with deep brown eyes, wears her long dark hair in a braid, and is barely taller than Mat's shoulder ({{teotw|3}}). With a short temper and sharp tongue, Nynaeve regularly gives over to fits of rage and verbal abuse and never hesitates to thwap anyone she believes has over-stepped themselves. Despite how temperamental she may be, however, Nynaeve's spirit and strong sense of duty aid her to do what she believes must be done and never allows herself room for failure.

WARNING! The next sections contain spoilers for the Wheel of Time series.


General

Nynaeve al'Meara was born in the year 974 NE, is eight years older than Egwene (TDR, Ch. 51; LoC, Ch. 48), and four years older than Rand, Mat and Perrin. As an only child, her father raised her as if she was the son he never had. Before he died, her father taught her to track as well as anyone but Tam al'Thor (TEotW, Ch. 16).

By the age of fourteen, Nynaeve was orphaned and taken under the wing of Mistress Doral Barran, the Emond's Field Wisdom at the time (TEotW, Ch. 20). She taught her all her skills, and when she died Nynaeve became the Wisdom (TEotW, Ch. 1), possibly the youngest known. Nynaeve had served as the Wisdom of Emond's Field five years prior to her departure (TDR, Ch. 28), and despite being so young for such a position (TEotW, Ch. 3), no villager was foolish enough to mention her age when arguing with her.

After discovering she was what an Aes Sedai would describe as a wilder (TEotW, Ch. 21), she decided to go to Tar Valon with Egwene to train in the White Tower to learn enough of the One Power to use against Moiraine for the injustices she believed the Aes Sedai caused (TGH, Ch. 8). Once she arrived at Tar Valon, Nynaeve was tested and immediately made Accepted despite her block that prevented her from channeling unless she was angry (TGH, Ch. 28).

Personality

Nynaeve has shown herself to be nearly fearless in the face of any opponent despite how often she likes to think of herself as a coward. She will soon prove just how powerful an Aes Sedai Moiraine predicted her to be in the time to come (TEotW, Ch. 21). Nynaeve is also very stubborn just like the rest of the Two Rivers folk.

Appearance

Nynaeve is slender with deep brown eyes, wears her long dark hair in a braid, and is barely taller than Mat's shoulder (TEotW, Ch. 3). With a short temper and sharp tongue, Nynaeve regularly gives over to fits of rage and verbal abuse and never hesitates to thwap anyone she believes has over-stepped themselves. Despite how temperamental she may be, however, Nynaeve's spirit and strong sense of duty aid her to do what she believes must be done and never allows herself room for failure.

Condensed Timeline

  • 974 NE-Nynaeve is born as the only child in a farm at or near Emond's Field (LoC, Ch. 48). It is not known who her parents were, just that they were farmers (TSR, Ch. 46). Her mother's name was Elnore (TGH, Ch. 23) who died early in Nynaeve's life and was raised by her father who's name is unknown.
  • 988 NE-Nynaeve is apprenticed under Doral Barran, Emond's Field's Wisdom, shortly after the death of her father (TEotW, Ch. 21).
  • 990 NE-Nynaeve channels for the first time when attempting to heal Egwene of breakbone fever. She suffers a reaction from touching the True Source a week or ten days later (TEotW, Ch. 21).
  • 993 NE-Nynaeve succeeds Mistress Barran after her death and becomes Wisdom of Emond's Field (TDR, Ch. 28).
  • 998 NE- Nynaeve is raised Accepted, having taken and passed the test upon her arrival at the White Tower. (TGH, Ch. 23)

Strengths and Talents

When learning unknowingly to channel, Nynaeve learned to tell the weather, confirming the popular assumption that all Wisdoms can predict the weather (TEotW, Ch. 1).

Moiraine deduced that Nynaeve had great potential to possibly become one of the most powerful Aes Sedai they had seen in centuries (TEotW, Ch. 21).

Moiraine tells Siuan that Nynaeve is stronger than Elayne (TGH, Ch. 4).

Becoming very strong in the One Power, Nynaeve is as strong as Moghedien and not yet at full strength (TSR, Ch. 54).

Nynaeve uses a much more complex form of Healing than current day Aes Sedai. It is more akin to the Healing used in the Age of Legends (TDR, Ch. 38).

Relationships With Other Characters

When they are thirteen, Rand and Mat steal a jug of apple brandy and Nynaeve switches them for it. (TSR, Ch. 7)

Nynaeve had tracked Moiraine Damodred to Baerlon when the Aes Sedai left Emond's Field with Rand al'Thor and several other young villagers with the firm intention of bringing them back (TEotW, Ch. 16).

Despite her obvious animosity toward Moiraine and being very protective of her fellow villagers, Nynaeve may have had another predetermining factor in her decision to accompany the small group. Though she wouldn't admit to herself until many weeks later, Nynaeve fell head over heals for Lan, Moiraine's Warder, and even confronted him about her feelings (TEotW, Ch. 48). Perhaps it was because of this that spurred Nynaeve's hatred of Moiraine, the woman bonded to the man she loved. Whatever the cause, Nynaeve leaves for Tar Valon to learn enough of the One Power to use against Moiraine for the injustices she believes the Aes Sedai caused (TGH, Ch. 8).

Egwene and Elayne both cry on Nynaeve's lap after their Accepted tests and Nynaeve promises to make the Aes Sedai pay. (TDR, Ch. 23)

This section contains spoilers relating to The Fires of Heaven. Please expand to view.

Nynaeve caught Juilin and Thom off guard by thanking them for rescuing her and Elayne from Ronde Macura, an agent of the Yellow Ajah who was given orders to capture Elayne and send her back to Tar Valon (TFoH, Ch. 10)

Nynaeve soon found herself the target of Thom's knives and Luca's love, and yearned to hire the first boat they could find to get away from the menagerie (TFoH, Ch. 33).

In an unexpected encounter in Tel'aran'rhiod, Nynaeve managed to capture Moghedien using an a'dam, and while dragging her around Nynaeve helped Rand kill Rahvin by scorching him unexpectedly (TFoH, Ch. 54 and TFoH, Ch. 55).

Lan

Nynaeve and Lan fall in love on their journey.

  • Nynaeve is suspicious of the wine Lan brings her but is angered when he suggests she is afraid (TEotW, Ch. 16)
  • Nynaeve blushes when Lan praises her tracking skills, something she never does (TEotW, Ch. 16)
  • When Lan goes to check on the Trollocs, Egwene worries he is being reckless, but Nynaeve is confident he wouldn’t be seen (TEotW, Ch. 18)
  • Nynaeve is worried when Lan is away (TEotW, Ch. 19)
  • She is pleased that Lan didn’t realise she was watching them (TEotW, Ch. 21)
  • She does not like the look from Lan when he learns she can channel (TEotW, Ch. 21)
  • She thinks Lan is mocking her by obviously omitting the word “Sedai” (TEotW, Ch. 21)
  • When Lan goes to fetch her horse, she expects him to fail and looks forward to the feeling of satisfaction. She only feels a tiny blow when he manages it
  • Nynaeve thinks Lan would be useful if she could get rid of Moiraine (TEotW, Ch. 28)
  • She finds Lan more infuriating than Moiraine even though he rarely speaks, a dozen words a day if that (TEotW, Ch. 28)
  • She expect Lan to comment on how easily he snuck up on her (TEotW, Ch. 37)
  • She is confident Lan could walk into a Whitecloak camp to free Perrin (TEotW, Ch. 37)
  • She is annoyed when she doesn't hear him leave (TEotW, Ch. 37)
  • She tells herself she is not in competition with Lan, but doesn't fully believe it (TEotW, Ch. 37
  • When cutting the horse lines, she imagines Lan looking at her if she doesn't do all of them, and even though she thinks he would understand and accept,doesn't like the idea he might think less of her (TEotW, Ch. 37)
  • When Lan grabs her, she stares at him (TEotW, Ch. 38)
  • Nynaeve doesn't ask about Lan but listens intently to his story (TEotW, Ch. 47)
  • Nynaeve tells Lan she should have known he was a king (TEotW, Ch. 48)

They are confronted by Whitecloaks but Moiraine appears as a giant and they escape. Afterwards they see fire from the city.

They enter and Loial uses the Ogier script to lead them.(TEotW, Ch. 44) They find Trolloc runes and conclude that the Trollocs have used to learn the Ways and that is how they got to Two Rivers. They run into Machin Shin and barely escape out of the Ways.(TEotW, Ch. 45) They make there way to Fal Dara and are led to lord Agelmar.
