Nienna is a Vala from J. R. R. Tolkien's universe, Middle-earth. She is the sister of Mandos and Irmo. Her name means She who weeps. She lives in the far West of Arda, and grieves for the suffering of the world. She is the only Valar of female appearance that is not married, similarly to Ulmo among the male counterparts. Template:Spoiler-about Nienna wept on the mount of Ezellohar, watering it with her tears. After the destruction of the Two Trees by Melkor, she wept on their remains, cleansing the filth of Ungoliant, and helping to nurture the fruit and the flower that became the Sun and the Moon. Gandalf was her student.
