Niambi is a middle-aged human healer of Zhalfirin descent from Dominaria. She is the wife of Denik and mother of Kequia and Mabutho.[2]

History

Niambi is the daughter of the planeswalker Teferi and his wife Subira. She was born about a decade after the Mending, and grew up in Femeref, formerly a province of Teferi's lost homeland of Zhalfir. Now a wise woman with lovely features and strands of gray threaded through her long braids, she is an accomplished healer and cleric of the sun-worshipping Femeref faith.[1][3] Her keen mind helped keep the Femeref together, which allowed for deeper understanding of their lost traditions and homeland.[4]

Young Niambi with her father Teferi

Of the many wayward souls she has tended, Niambi considered her father her first and most important charge.[5] A brilliant mind in her own right, she helped Teferi solve the many puzzles that the planeswalker Urza had left behind.

Currently, she is providing medical aid to the nomadic tribes in Jamuraa.[6]
