Many aspects of Niniane's life remain a mystery, but it is believed that she was already old when Myrrdin first met her, despite her youthful looks, as she already had a legendary, even mythical status by then. It is also believed that she lived for an unusually long time, possibly due to an influence of Fir Bolg blood, or some other long-lived species. | Many aspects of Niniane's life remain a mystery, but it is believed that she was already old when Myrrdin first met her, despite her youthful looks, as she already had a legendary, even mythical status by then.

According to some accounts, Niniane was at some point a member of the Misty Hills Coven which resided in the Wicklow Mountains where she soon displayed exceptional talent and quickly rose through the ranks of the coven. However, when offered to lead the coven she refused and instead went her own way. | According to some accounts, Niniane was at some point a member of the Misty Hills Coven which resided in the Wicklow Mountains where she soon displayed exceptional talent and quickly rose through the ranks of the coven.

Niniane had always had a special connection with water. She was able to communicate with its spirit, similar to what a Visvalker may be capable of, although this is attributed more to her likely possessing non-human blood. Because of this, she was exectional at using water- and ice-based [[spells]]. After she moved to live at the shores of a lake, she often spent time meditating in a shrine on a small island at the lake's center. It was said that she could see into the lake's depths and receive visions from its spirit. Some accounts claim that she was even able to control the movements of the lakes' water through her magic. This deep connection with water, and the lake in particular, was what earned her the moniker "Lady of the Lake". | Niniane had always had a special connection with water.

It is unclear which materials Niniane's wand was made from. However, it is described as having a decorated black and silver handle with a shaft that looked like it was carved from an icicle. | It is unclear which materials Niniane's wand was made from.
