Nynaeve al'Meara (pronounced NIGH-neev al-MEER-ah) (formally el'Nynaeve ti al'Meara Mandragoran) is one of the main characters of The Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan.

Nynaeve's personality often runs a gamut of emotions, meek at times before more experienced women but also able to stand up and run down others. While she will deny it, Nynaeve is incredibly strong and proud to the point of being self-centered but fails to see it. A running theme throughout the books is how Nynaeve will complain about someone being too stubborn or proud or leaping into things without thinking, oblivious to how she exhibits the exact same behavior. Surprisingly, no one calls her on this hypocrisy, since all women behave similarly in the Wheel of Time universe, although many will stare in disbelief after such statements. Despite her difficulty in accepting things that are different from what she is used to, Nynaeve is able to adapt at times and see what others do not. Nyneave is also shown to have quite a temper, with her pulling her braid to vent her anger. She is fiercely devoted to Lan, who is the one person able to melt her tempered exterior.

Nynaeve is typically described as having dark eyes and a long, dark braid, which she often yanks in times of exasperation. She is also described as being relatively short and slim. She is pretty, as noted by Rand at the beginning of The Great Hunt.

In the beginning of the series, Nyneave vocally expresses her liking of "stout" Two Rivers wool clothing, but along the course of the books she has expressed a finer sense of fashion, wearing fine silks, usually in the colors of blue or green, which are Lan's favourite colors. In traditional Aes Sedai fashion, she wears yellow to formally show that she is in the Yellow Ajah. At the moment she wears her bracelet and ring angreal as well as several ter'angreal (including a Well) on her person- even while she sleeps.

Nynaeve Al'Meara has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
