Iansan, a familiar face in the game, describes Varesa with affection and admiration:
"Varesa, my most peculiar student… No one matches her easygoing, carefree nature. No matter where she travels, she’s like a child on an adventure—always searching for delicious treats or a cozy spot to rest... But beware! If you ever fight Abyss monsters with her, the moment she gets into the zone, she turns into an unstoppable force!"
Alongside Varesa, another character is making the leap from NPC to playable hero in update 5.5: Iansan. This 4-star Electro user wields a Polearm and has been a beloved figure in the game's lore. Varesa shares her high regard for Iansan:

"Iansan is Natlan’s top trainer and the person I admire the most! People say I’m talented, but without her training, that talent would have gone to waste. Don’t worry if you’re not used to working out—Coach Iansan knows how to train anyone! Oh, by the way, wanna check out this flyer? She’s recruiting new students!"
The introduction of these new characters promises to bring fresh dynamics and strategies to Genshin Impact, keeping the game's ever-growing community engaged and eager for the next update.
