According to her mentor, Iansan: "Varesa, my most peculiar student… possesses an easygoing, carefree nature. She's always searching for delicious treats or cozy spots to rest. But beware! Against Abyss monsters, she transforms into an unstoppable force!"
Joining Varesa is Iansan, a former NPC now playable as a 4-star Electro Polearm user. She's renowned as Natlan's top trainer.

Varesa herself speaks highly of her mentor: "Iansan is Natlan’s top trainer and the person I admire most! People say I’m talented, but without her training, that talent would have gone to waste. She’s an amazing coach, perfect for players of all skill levels! Oh, and she's recruiting new students!"
