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 brings her expertise as Natlan’s top trainer to the battlefield.

Varesa shares her thoughts on Iansan, highlighting the impact she has had on her journey:
"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!"
With these exciting additions, update 5.5 promises to bring fresh dynamics and new strategies to the world of Genshin Impact. Players can look forward to exploring the unique abilities and personalities of Varesa and Iansan as they enhance their gameplay experience.
