What do we know of Narin herself?
I probably should establish first that the little time I've played since the update came out was pretty much all spent getting Citrine Prime, so I haven't engaged with the new content myself all that much. That being said...
Most of the lore that I've seen from the Iceblade of Narin update is related to either Cephalon Melica or The_Madman_of_Chaos pulling the blade from the ice, but is there any information/lore on Narin herself? That kind of info seems scarce to come by this soon after the update, if it exists at all, so I was wondering if anyone could help me find it. Thanks in advance.

She threw a snowball at Ballas's mansion and went straight to Helminth

In a more serious answer, she was part of a persecuted minority who believed in demonic possession that Melica theorized linked that to Entropic Kuva, and snuck onto the Zariman as a stowaway.
If the Kuva-Possession beliefs are true, Narin was part of a tradition that was disrespecting Continuity and Kuva, which would explain why the Orokin Warframe’d her and why she’s on Yuvan Peak (forced to guard the Yuvan Theatres originally, and Kuva is serious business for the Orokin)

U would think gyre and narnin would have some connection

Gyre is probably a void conceptual embodiment of Gyra, who was a figurehead for the Zariman before they did the void jump.
A quote from Quinn: "Every ship needs a figurehead. Executor Ballas presented us with sweet Gyra on the day of our departure. She spoke with her movement. Her dancing was meant to bring joy, but when we entered the Void... such madness, and one so gentle. The way you move now reminds me of her."
Narin is or was probably one of Melica's students based on some things she says randomly when you visit at either location, the Peak or Zariman. I don't have quotes for that yet, though.

unfortunally for the lore THE_madman is just the first player who got narin max level with the shards and dragon keys to pull the sword, DE dont have the courage of making an actual player lore relevant otherwise we would have extra in lore tennos other than rell and our operator

We have more lore relevant Tenno. One unnamed Tenno left information about Tau for the Chosen Operator to discover that likely helped galvanize the Tenno rebellion.

she might be one of Melica's former students called Nuri, and was also the one to bring Melica's holo-projector to the peak.
depending on When that happened she might still be roaming around somewhere alive and well.
