Iansan, a familiar NPC, describes Varesa as her most peculiar student, highlighting her easygoing and carefree nature. Varesa's adventurous spirit leads her to seek out delicious treats and cozy spots to rest, but when it comes to battling Abyss monsters, she transforms into an unstoppable force. This duality makes her a fascinating addition to the game.

Joining Varesa in update 5.5 is Iansan, who transitions from an NPC to a playable character. As a 4-star Electro user wielding a Polearm, Iansan brings her expertise as Natlan's top trainer to the forefront. Varesa's admiration for Iansan is evident, crediting her training for honing her talents.
