Iansan, a respected figure in the Genshin Impact lore, describes Varesa as follows:

"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!"

In addition to Varesa, update 5.5 will also introduce Iansan, who transitions from an NPC to a playable character. Iansan, a 4-star Electro user, wields a Polearm and is known as Natlan’s top trainer. Her dedication to her students is evident, and she is set to bring her expertise to the battlefield.

Varesa shares her admiration 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 inclusion of both Varesa and Iansan in update 5.5 promises to enrich the Genshin Impact experience, offering new strategies and deepening the game's narrative. Players are encouraged to stay tuned for more details and prepare for the arrival of these intriguing characters.
