Narsa is a Ardeth randon cadet. In To Ride a Rathorn, Timmon seduces Narsa, trying to make Jame jealous. Narsa is subsequently jealous of Jame because Timmon is more interested in Jame than her. Narsa and Timmon's dalliance doesn't last long, but Narsa is hurt and angry enough she tries to kill Jame by leaving Shade's snake Addy in Jame's bed, and then attacks her later in the Knorth quarters with a knife, though she's too upset to make a credible attempt at Jame's life.
