There were many Nefertaris. The most famous one, Nefertari Mery Mut, Great Wife of Rameses II, was not Nubian by descent. She was the daughter of Bakenkhonsu, a royal official of the Theban court with ancestors in attendance for many generations. Ahmes Nefertari, daughter of Seqenenre of the 17th dynasty, became the wife of Ahmose I, founder of the 18th dynasty. She is thought to be the great-grandmother of Nefertari Mery Mut. There is no evidence that they descended from any Nubian line.

That's the Nefertari I was referring to. There are many web sites out there that claim her to be a Nubian. However, the claims are not well backed up. Whether she came from Thebes or not would not automatically exclude her from being Nubian, though.
