Varesa, described as easygoing and carefree, is a powerful force on the battlefield. Her official reveal confirms insider leaks, showcasing her unique personality and combat prowess. As one source puts it: "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!"

Iansan, Natlan's top trainer, is now a playable character. Varesa herself speaks highly of her mentor: "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!" This suggests a potential connection between their characters and storylines within the game. Get ready to welcome these two unique additions to the Genshin Impact roster!
