Elmindreda "Min" Farshaw is one of the main characters of The Wheel of Time fantasy series by Robert Jordan.

She is slender, a little taller than Moiraine (who Jordan has said to be about 5'2"), and has short dark hair that becomes curly when grown long. She has large, dark eyes. She likes to wear men's coats and breeches, and over the series, her clothes get tighter and she recently discovered embroidery (all to impress Rand al'Thor, the protagonist of the series, and her lover).

Min grew up in Baerlon, under the patronage of a father who did not curb her tomboy tendencies, and (after he died), by a trio of aunts who failed miserably at making a "proper woman" out of her. Her personality is encapsulated by her name: "Elmindreda" is a character in a book who fawns and sighs over men, which is why Min likes to go by the shortened version.

She met Rand al'Thor at Baerlon, around the same time Nynaeve al'Meara first caught up with and was caught up by the group, and managed to unnerve Rand thoroughly: not only was she a very attractive woman whose hair is cut short like a boy's and wears men's clothing, but she also has oracular visions. Min is privy to flashes of visual insight she calls "viewings"—for instance, whenever she sees Rand, Mat Cauthon or Perrin Aybara, she sees him surrounded by a vast, trackless darkness, while countless thousands of fireflies dart in and out, trying to fill the void; when two or more of them stand near each other, the fireflies get stronger. The symbolism of this viewing is relatively obvious,(The trio, Rand, Mat, and Perrin are stronger together) but most of them are much harder for her to decode in the beginning.

Min Farshaw has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
