What manner of being was Goldberry? Did Tolkien even say what she was, or is she just as much of a mystery as Tom Bombadill?

I read this theory somewhere that Goldberry might be Nimrodel...how true do you think it can be?

This post may be a long-shot, but after recent re-readings of The Silmarillion, I could not help but wonder, could Goldberry be Nienor? I have always been told that mystery enshrouds Goldberry, and thet she is some sort of River-daughter, brought forth from the water to Bombadil. Is this...

She was the mysterious wife of the strange being, Tom Bombadil. The supposed daughter of the river spirit that lived in River Withywindle with her water-spirit mother.

...with the published works through lockdown, and enjoyed the Prancing Pony Podcast. Listening to an episode recently I had a theory about Goldberry. Is the “River-daughter” a full on Maia? Could she be offspring of Osse and Uinen? We know that Maiar don’t readily reproduce but that an exception...

Tom Bombadil and Goldberry are the most enigmatic beings in all of Middle Earth and seem to be locked outside the eternal conflict of good and evil. When Tom saved Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin from Old Man Willow he was able to wear the One Ring without being corrupted or turning invisible. Tom...

when they say that Goldberry is the River daughter are they talking figuratively?? does bombadil call her that because he found her by the river? reem

We always debate who or what Tom Bombadil is, but in all of this we never pay any attention to Goldberry. What exactly is she? We never really find out for sure do we? All we know is that she is called the "river-daughter", thats not much information. Is she human? I doubt that. So here's the...

...she seemed to be enthroned in the midst of a pool." ~J.R.R. Tolkien - The Fellowship of the Ring Who exactly was Goldberry? She plays such a small but beautiful part in Tolkien's intricate fantasy The Lord of the Rings. She is called the daughter of the River and she...

...being an unidentified enigma, not a real part of the Mythology of ME. But no-one that I know of has taken it from this angle? Why did Goldberry, river-daughter, whom Tom found down in the river Withy-Windle apparently, and who can conjure up a spring cleaning storm, marry Tom? Why...
