Nimue to Chad in We're Not Worthy

Nimue, better known as the Lady of the Lake, appeared on the first episode of the third season of Legacies.

Early History[]

Not much is known about Nimue's early history. However, she knew of the Green Knight prior to his corruption and witnessed the fall of Camelot that ushered in the Dark Ages. She would later curse the knight so that as he approached Excalibur, he would move slower the closer he got. She was bound by duty to find someone worthy to take the sword and prevent the knight from reclaiming its power. However, before she was able to fulfill her task, she encountered Malivore. Both she and the knight were absorbed within him and held in darkness.

Physical Appearance[]

She is a medium height, light-blue-skinned woman with striking gills on her neck. She has light blonde hair and chilling light-blue irises of the eyes, the color that extends throughout the sclera. She wears a petite golden crown and clothes befitting a noble woman of the 5th or 6th century.

Powers and Abilities[]

Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, is a supernatural being with largely unknown abilities but possesses some affinities for magic. Whether through her own means or through Excalibur, she's linked to the sword and possesses some form of perception of Excalibur's location, as she was able to sense the sword in a nearby field after she was released from Malivore. This is implied when she told Josie that she cursed the Green Knight so that he'd become slower as he approached Excalibur. She can also transform her being into pure water and, on two occasions, was able to remove mud from herself and Josie, through unknown magical means.

Weaknesses[]

Nimue possesses no known weaknesses, though she is bound to the Green Knight through the power of the sword, Excalibur.
