[Janaan]

Hi, so i recently came across this foeum and had a question or thought i saw the photo of zoe who is too play nynaeve and was curious if ppl like the idea of nynaeve have mutiple little braids she tugs or the thick single like the novels peesonally im not opposed to either but i do like the small multiple braids

It should one single one because Taraboners have multiple braids.

It’s part of establishing different cultures within the book to have the different hairstyles from different nations.  

I don’t know if they will do this in the series, keep the cultures distinct.

I think they should because to me it makes the world bigger when there’s strange people from strange lands.

And there really isn’t much “cultural appropriation” in the WoT

So I think Nyneave will keep her one big braid.

Definitely just one braid, as best befits her character. And plus the matter of the Taraboners having multiple braids.....

One braid. Like how it's described in the book.

 

When Nyneave and Elayne go to Tanchico, they put their hair in multiple braids, and it's used as source of comedy that Nyn can't get a firm grasp of them to tug.

Nynaeve's braid is so much a part of her character I would be very disappointed if she doesn't have one in the series.  Of course, any fan of the books is going to have a lot to be disappointed in.  It would be impossible to do it for TV without cutting lots of story lines and some characters and they don't appear overly concerned with casting to conform to book appearance.  Still this would have been an easy thing to get right.

They're not promo shots for Wheel of time. She'll likely have a wig in the show, as will Rosamund.
