Amazon has released new character posters for its upcoming adaptation ofThe Wheel of Time, based on the fantasy series of the same name by the late authorRobert Jordan, and Collider has your exclusive look at the poster featuringZoë Robinsas Nynaeve al’Meara and her absolutely epic braid (which, as fans of the series know, is a very important aspect of the character). Season 1 ofThe Wheel of Timewill premiere this November 19 on Prime Video.
The poster follows on the heels of several others that have been released from the streamer already — the first of which featuredRosamund Pike’s Moiraine Damodred standing solothat confirmed a release date, with another depicting Moiraine andDaniel Henney’s al’Lan Mandragoran squaring up for battle.
As for Nynaeve, her hair, which is styled in a singular braid as depicted in the new poster, is indicative of the Two Rivers district where she has grown up and indicates her marriageable status — although she continues to wear it that way even after she leaves and accompanies Moiraine and Lan (as well as Rand, Egwene, and the others) in their journey. It also tends to serve as an indicator for when she is stressed or worried, as she is frequently mentioned as tugging on it in the original books.

Here’s the official synopsis forThe Wheel of Time:
Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine, a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.
