Iansan is the character featured in the Natlan chapter of Genshin Impact's Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Travail, so most players knew about her existence long before Natlan was planned. However, not many expected her to be a 4-star character, although it's a possibility considering the featured character from Liyue is Ningguang, who's also a 4-star unit. Instead, the 5-star character released along with Iansan is Varesa, a competitive eater from the Collective of Plenty, the same tribe as Iansan.

Both Varesa and Iansan will debut in version 5.5, so if you're planning to get them both, look forward to Genshin Impact 5.5 release date.
