General
Tarna Feir is an Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. She was a novice for nine years and Accepted for at least four. During this time, she had few friends, though she seemed not to notice the lack. Moiraine thinks that, as far she knows, Tarna never played a joke on anyone. (NS, Ch. 3)
Tarna is arrogant and, as far as Moiraine is concerned, has no sense of humor. She doesn't show much emotion and is very aloof.

(NS, Ch. 3) Elaida considers her to be "a Red with no room in her head for nonsense." (ACoS, Prologue)
Tarna is of medium height (taller than Siuan) and has pale yellow hair, cold blue eyes and a strong jaw. She is from northern Altara. (NS, Ch. 3; CoT, Ch. 22)
Upon going to the Tower to become a novice, Tarna was a wilder. She had a block that kept her from reaching for saidar with her eyes open. It was Galina Casban who got rid of her block; she did this by beating Tarna until she howled and wept. (LoC, Ch. 13)
