As a Main DPS Varesa's damage ceiling and unique multipliers as a Plunging DPS have allowed her to keep up with the meta, as most of her damage is Frontloaded in terms of her Plunging strikes, which is what the current meta has shifted to. While her teams have not changed much in terms of composition, Varesa still rivals the damage output that other top DPS units can, and is one of the other top DPS units that have flexibility in both team composition and teammate choice without losing out on damage. |

Varesa Strengths and Weaknesses
| Strengths | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
• High innate damage potential due to most of her attacks coming from Plunges, which are known to have high damage scalings. • Self-enabling DPS that can set herself up to utilize most of her kit, and having dedicated supports amplifies her damage and ease of use exponentially. • Plunge playstyle allows her to potentially avoid damage during normal combat without needing to go out of her way to dodge. • Nightsoul Transmission gives Varesa a way to quickly traverse within Natlan across land and sea. |
|||
| Weaknesses | |||
|
• Does not have access to amplifying reactions like Melt or Vaporize as a plunging attacker, although her base DMG compensates the fact. • Does not have a lot of synergistic weapon choices with good passives apart from her own Signature Weapon. |

| General Team Comps | ||||
  
One of Varesa's best teams that she can use with Furina and Xianyun synergy. |
 
An Overload team for Varesa that make use of Chevreuse's buffing capability. |
|||
Varesa’s build has to focus on her Main DPS capabilities with her Plunges. Naturally, you will want an ATK%/DMG%/CRIT setup for her in most cases.
However, in some cases, an ATK% Goblet can be a viable option. One example is when she is with Furina, as she can buff the team with a tremendous amount of DMG% or with Chevreuse Overload teams. Electro DMG% on Goblet is generally still better though.
Energy Recharge is only needed for her to consistently do her Short Burst in rotations.
Varesa Stat Goal Values
| Stat | Goal Value |
|---|---|
| ATK | 2,000~3,000 |
| Energy Recharge | 120 ~ 145% (If with another Electro unit) 190 ~ 200% (If Solo) |
| CRIT Rate | 50%~60% |
| CRIT DMG | 180% or Above |
Varesa’s stats are straightforward: you will want as much ATK as possible on her. Her Energy Recharge is entirely dependent on her team composition. For example, with Iansan, she roughly only needs around 125%~ to burst consistently.
Other than that, a CRIT Ratio of 1:2 is ideal for her, so prioritize which one needs more.
Varesa Talent Priority
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Attacks | Elemental Burst | Elemental Skill |
Varesa will naturally want her Normal Attacks prioritized first to increase her overall Plunge DMG. Afterwards, focus on her Elemental Burst since most of her rotation weaves her Short Burst into the rotation.
Elemental Skill can be left at Level 1 or, at most, Level 6 since it’s the least contributor to her overall DMG output.
Varesa Best Weapons
Choose CRIT Or ATK Weapons For Varesa
Vivid Notions is Varesa's signature weapon and her best-in-slot by a wide-margin. It is tailor-made for her Plunge-centric kit by buffing Plunge DMG with a lot of CRIT DMG and ATK%.
A great alternative will be Kagura's Verity, which is undisputedly her second-best option because of the massive Skill DMG and Elemental DMG buff. Otherwise, The Widsith is her best F2P option, especially at high refinements.

|---|---|
| Best-in-Slot | Vivid Notions Vivid Notions Base ATK: 674 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 44.10% Skill Effect: ATK is increased by 28%.

The two effects above each last for 15s, and will be canceled 0.1s after the ground impact hits a target. |
| Vivid Notions massively increases Varesa's CRIT DMG, allowing her to focus more on CRIT Rate. The added ATK% bonus is a good touch that helps with overall damage. | |
| Alternative | Kagura's Verity Kagura's Verity Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 66.2% Skill Effect: Gains the Kagura Dance effect when using an Elemental Skill, causing the Elemental Skill DMG of the character wielding this weapon to increase by 12% for 16s. Max 3 stacks. This character will gain 12% All Elemental DMG Bonus when they possess 3 stacks. |
| Kagura's Verity is usually regarded as Varesa's second-best option when it comes to her weapon selection. The passive is easily stackable with Varesa's constant use of Elemental Skill, and the DMG% bonus that it provides is heavily appreciated. | |
| Second Alternative | Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds Base ATK: 608 Bonus Stat: CRIT Rate 33.1% Skill Effect: Increases Movement SPD by 10%. When in battle, gain an 8% Elemental DMG Bonus every 4s. Max 4 stacks. Lasts until the character falls or leaves combat. |
| Performs similarly to The Widsith, albeit with more consistent performance since it can ramp up its own damage. This is a good alternative, despite the massive gap between this and Kagura's Verity. | |
| F2P (Gacha) | The Widsith The Widsith Base ATK: 510 Bonus Stat: CRIT DMG 55.1% Skill Effect: When a character takes the field, they will gain a random theme song for 10s. This can only occur once every 30s. Recitative: ATK is increased by 60%. Aria: Increases all Elemental DMG by 48%. Interlude: Elemental Mastery is increased by 240. |
| Varesa's best F2P option that can perform similarly to the 5-star options, especially at high refinements. The Widsith can provide random buffs for Varesa, and some of these aren't really incredible for her, so it is regarded as lacking regularity in its performance. | |

Long Night's Oath is Best-in-Slot
Long Night's Oath is Varesa's best bet for damage as it stacks her plunging damage by up to 100% more if all 5 stacks are triggered.
She can also run Obsidian Codex by virtue of being a Nightsoul-aligned character, but can also make use of a mix of 2-pc. Long Night's Oath and Electro DMG or ATK sets while farming for her optimal set.
Long Night's Oath is a bit better than Codex and synergizes well with Varesa's signature weapon, Vivid Notions. However, Codex is more resin-efficient since its running alongside Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City and other Natlan DPS also uses this set.

| Best Artifact Sets for Varesa | |
|---|---|
| Best in DMG | Long Night's Oath Long Night's Oath 2-PC: Plunging Attack DMG increased by 25%. 4-PC: After the equipping character's Plunging Attack/Charged Attack/Elemental Skill hits an opponent, they will gain 1/2/2 stack(s) of "Radiance Everlasting."

| Resin-Efficient | Obsidian Codex Obsidian Codex 2-PC: While the equipping character is in Nightsoul's Blessing and is on the field, their DMG dealt is increased by 15%. 4-PC: After the equipping character consumes 1 Nightsoul point while on the field, CRIT Rate increases by 40% for 6s. This effect can trigger once every second. |
| The difference between Obsidian Codex and Long Night's Oath in terms of Varesa's DMG is roughly only ~5%. This is generally a more resin-efficient option, especially if you have other Natlan units that can benefit from this set or Cinder City. | |

| A 2-pc ATK combo can be used during the early build phase as a temporary set while you farm for more preferable artifacts. The 4-star variants should also still suffice. | |

Varesa Best Team Comps
Varesa Slots Best Into Hypercarry Teams
The best teams for Varesa are usually the ones that make use of her hypercarry capabilities with her Plunge Attacks. Most of her teams usually consist of either teammates that can synergize well with her Plunge attacks or an Overload team with Chevreuse.
Iansan is practically her best teammate by a very wide margin, to the point that she noticeably performs worse without her. Granted, she is not entirely dependent on her and can still have teams that do not utilize her at all and still function well.

Furina
|
|
Team Summary Varesa's hypercarry team that primarily focuses on buffing her Plunge ATK damage either through DMG% buffs or Elemental reactions. Furina has great synergy with Varesa since most of her best teammates can provide healing for Furina's fanfare. Alternate Teammates Iansan is the best option. However, you can also opt for Ororon as an alternative. Bennett is also a great option for his ATK buffs, but the range of his burst limits Varesa, who usually runs around to deal damage. Xianyun is the premier Plunge ATK buffer and can allow Varesa to weave in additional plunges in her rotation. An alternative option for her is Xilonen for the massive RES Shred, healing, and Scroll. |

Team Summary A variation of Varesa's teams that utilizes Overload DMG. Chevreuse is non-negotiable here since she is the premier Overload support. Alternate Teammates You can opt for an Iansan and Mavuika duo for the massive buffs that the former can provide while the latter has high personal off-field damage. Another duo that you can use is Nicole with either Fischl or Durin for the Hexerei buffs and Celestial Gift set. |
|||
Notable Teammates
| Character | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Iansan
|
Support Varesa's Plunges can easily maintain and maximize Iansan's buff. Moreover, Iansan can equip 4pc Scroll to further buff Varesa. By far her best teammate she can synergize very well with her. |
|
Xianyun
|
Support The premier buffer for Plunge Attack DPS. Xianyun further buffs Varesa with 4pc Viridescent Venerer. It's important to note that Varesa would still prefer using her skill and Charged Attack to Plunge because of her A1 passive and Nightsoul points. |
|
Furina
|
Support Provides off-field Hydro DMG for Varesa to trigger Electro-Charged, but more importantly, Furina provides an insane amount of DMG% buff. Moreover, Varesa is often paired with Healer supports, so its generate fanfare consistently on her team. |
|
Nicole
|
Support She can provide an ATK bonus while also providing a shield for added comfort for Varesa's rotation. |
|
Fischl
|
Sub-DPS Consistent Electro off-field DMG that is appreciated in Chevreuse Overlaod teams. When paired with Nicole or Durin, she can further buff Overload DMG with her Hexerei. |
|
Durin
|
Sub-DPS Durin's White Form can shred Pyro and Electro RES in Overload teams. This is further buffed if he has his Hexerei buffs. |
|
Xilonen
|
Support RES Shred and 4pc Scroll can heavily benefit Varesa's DMG. Xilonen also provides healing on top of that. |
|
Chevreuse
|
Support Chevy is the premier Overload support and tends to have a team archetype with Varesa's Plunge playstyle. She provides an ATK bonus, RES Shred, Healing, and DMG% buff at C6, making her a valuable teammate for Varesa Overload. |
 Columbina
|
Support Columbina can enable Lunar-Charged for Varesa teams while also serving as the Hydro applicator, making her a great option if you want to pick up Lunar reactions on Varesa. |
|
Mavuika
|
Sub DPS Mavuika in Varesa teams will act more of Sub DPS than her usual Main DPS role. She functions as a quickswap and off-field damage dealer and is usually placed alongside Chevreuse for an Overload Team. |
|
Bennett
|
Support The best ATK buffer that Varesa appreciates. However, Bennet's burst range limits Varesa, making it difficult to maximize it. |

Additionally, when Varesa is in the Sudden Onrush mode of her Nightsoul's Blessing, she consumes 30% less Nightsoul points or Phlogiston. |
| C2 |
Beyond the Edge of Light Varesa will enter Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack, regardless of whether she is in the Fiery Passion state or not.

Best Constellations Rating and Explanation
| Rating | Constellation Effect / Merits | |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | ★★☆ |
• After using her Special Elemental Burst, increases the damage done by the succeeding Plunging Attack by 150%. • Consumes 30% less Nightsoul Points or Phlogiston if being used as a traversal tool. |
| C2 | ★★★ |

C2 Is Varesa's Most Effective Constellation
Varesa's C2 is a great stop for most who are looking to maximize Varesa's DMG effectiveness, as she can pretty much use her Special Elemental Burst every 2 - 3 Plunge Attacks.
This is great in tandem with her C1, which increases the damage of her Plunge Attack after the Special Elemental Burst, and this damage boost can take in effect after every Special Elemental Burst.
Varesa Talents and How to Use
Plunging Attack Focused Character
Varesa's main source of damage comes from her Plunging Attacks, and Varesa herself has ways to trigger consistent and empowered plunges on her Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst.
If you're familiar with Gaming, she plays similarly in that she uses Elemental Burst then Elemental Skill to use her Plunge, although she's much smoother and easier to access.
Normal Attack
| Normal Attack: By the Horns |
|---|
| Gotta try... to do battle like the greatest champion luchadors do! Varesa launches up to 3 strikes, dealing Electro DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of stamina to headbutt opponents in front, dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG and using the momentum to leap into the air. Plunge Attack Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG upon impact. If Varesa is in a combat state upon landing, or if the shockwave from her plunging attack hits an opponent, she will gain 25 Nightsoul points. She enters the Fiery Passion state upon reaching maximum Nightsoul points through this method. Fiery Passion In this state, Varesa's Normal, Charged, and Plunging attacks will gain corresponding buffs: Normal Attack Fight like a superstar champion luchador! Launches up to 3 fierce strikes, dealing greater Electro DMG. Charged Attack Consumes a certain amount of Stamina to slam into her opponents, dealing greater amounts of Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG and using the momentum to leap into the air. Plunging Attack Consumes all her Nightsoul points and slams down on the ground from mid-air, dealing DMG to opponents in her path and dealing greater amounts of Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG upon hitting the ground. Fiery Passion · While not in the Fiery Passion state, Varesa can use Plunging Attacks to gain Nightsoul points. She will enter Fiery Passion when she reaches maximum Nightsoul points via this method, or when she uses her Elemental Burst Guardian Vent! · While in the Fiery Passion state, her Normal Attacks, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst will gain unique buffs. She can also use a special Elemental Burst shortly after using a Plunging Attack. · The Fiery Passion state lasts for up to 15s and will end when she runs out of Nightsoul points or after she leaves combat for a period of time. |
Charged Attacks Raise Her To The Air
In Varesa's normal state, using her Charged Attack sends her into the air after the initial Charged damage, allowing her to plunge down for a second, more powerful attack.
Elemental Skill
| Riding the Night-Rainbow |
|---|
| With footwork swift as lightning and fierce as thunder, Varesa displays the true spirit of lucha libre, rushing forward a certain distance and dealing Nightsoul-aligned Electro DMG to opponents in her path. Nightsoul's Blessing: Varesa When she runs out of Nightsoul points, her Nightsoul's Blessing state will be canceled. When Varesa is in the Sudden Onrush state or Fiery Passion state, she will always be counted as being in the Nightsoul's Blessing state. Has 2 charges. When Varesa enters the Fiery Passion state, she will obtain an additional Tap charge of her Elemental Skill and its DMG will be increased. After using this Skill, Varesa gains 20 Nightsoul points and gains the "Follow-Up Strike" effect: Varesa has increased interruption resistance during this time, and upon pressing her Normal Attack, she will quickly unleash a Charged Attack that does not consume Stamina. "Follow-Up Strike" will be canceled after Varesa uses a Charged Attack. She will use different techniques based on whether the kill is Tapped or Held. Tap Quickly rush a certain distance forward. Hold Varesa enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state and switches to Sudden Onrush mode. Sudden Onrush Continuously consumes Nightsoul points. In this state, Varesa's Movement SPD and interruption resistance are increased. She can use terrain to execute flying leaps or consume additional Nightsoul points to traverse atop water or liquid Phlogiston while remaining immune to DMG from the latter. |
Elemental Skill Activates Special State
Activating Varesa's Elemental Skill causes her to enter a special combat state that does a few things for her.
Normal Attacks Lead to Plunge Opportunities
Instead of having to use Plunge Attacks, Varesa can just tap the Normal Attack button and gain the same plunge opportunity as with her normal Charged Attack.
This effectively adds more convenience and movement to Varesa's kit.
Increases Attack Speed
In this state, Varesa's attack speed is increased, allowing her to output more damage quickly.
On its own, this does not do much for Varesa on the ground, but since she gets raised into the air with her Normal Attacks in this state, this attack speed buff increases her Plunging Attack frequency and DPS.
Special Elemental Burst at Full Nightsoul Points
Varesa gains Nightsoul Points through successful plunges, and can enter the "Fiery Passion" state, allowing her to partially use her Elemental Burst to perform an enhanced Plunge Attack.
This part of her kit can seemingly be repeated throughout her Elemental Skill's uptime, allowing you to perform enhanced Charged Attacks multiple times.
Can Be Held to Sprint at Great Speeds
As with most Natlan characters, Varesa is capable of using some part of her arsenal as a travesal tool, especially in Natlan's terrain.
When holding her Elemental Skill, Varesa sprints forward and is capable of breaking down obstacles, performing leaps, and treading across water. This act consumes her Nightsoul Points, then Phlogiston if it is available.
Elemental Burst
| Guardian Vent! |
|---|
| Leaps into the air before using the momentum of the drop to unleash a powerful flying kick, dealing Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG to opponents — just like those heroes of justice in woven scrolls for kids! After using this Skill, Varesa's Nightsoul points will be restored to maximum and she will enter the Fiery Passion state. Increases Varesa's interruption resistance. While affected by Apex Drive, Varesa can ignore her Elemental Burst CD and consume less Energy to use her special Elemental Burst, "Guardian Vent: Volcano Kablam": This causes her to use the especially powerful Plunging Attack, "Thunderous Tornado Eruption," which deals Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG upon landing before causing her to exit Apex Drive. This DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG. Varesa will exit Apex Drive after using her Elemental Skill. In the Fiery Passion state, Varesa's Elemental Burst will deal a greater amount of Nightsoul-aligned AoE Electro DMG. Additionally, she will briefly activate Apex Drive after using a Plunging Attack while in her Fiery Passion state. |
Elemental Burst Extends Special Attack State
Apart from the Burst DMG that her Elemental Burst inflicts, it seems to immediately put her into her "Fiery Passion" state, allowing her immediate access to her enhanced Plunge Attacks.

| After using the Elemental Skill Riding the Night-Rainbow, Varesa gains "Rainbow Crash" for 5s.
During this time, when Varesa uses a Plunging Attack, the shockwave DMG dealt when she hits the ground is increased by 50% of her ATK. If Varesa is in the Fiery Passion state, this ground impact DMG is increased by 180% of her ATK instead. The Rainbow Crash effect will be canceled once a ground impact hits an opponent, or when its duration expires. |
Passive Talent 2
| The Hero Twice-Returned! |
|---|
| When a nearby party member triggers a Nightsoul Burst, Varesa's ATK increases by 35% for 12s. Max 2 stacks. Each stack's duration is counted independently. |
Passive Talent 3
| Night Realm's Gift: A Torch That Incinerates Evil |
|---|
| After Nightsoul points have been fully depleted, Varesa will switch to using Phlogiston to maintain the Sudden Onrush mode from her Nightsoul's Blessing.
While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, Nightsoul Transmission: Varesa can be used. When the current active character is sprinting or in movement modes caused by certain Talents, or at a certain height in the air, switching to Varesa will trigger the following: Varesa enters the Nightsoul's Blessing state, switches to Sudden Onrush mode, and obtains 20 Nightsoul points. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your own party. While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, Varesa will not take fall DMG when using terrain differences to make leaps. |
Passive Talent 4
| Blazing Heart, Singular Advance! |
|---|
| Varesa's Sprint speed is increased. When she is not in combat, her Sprint Stamina consumption will also increase.
Additionally, while in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, your party members will restore 20 Phlogiston when consuming food. This effect can occur once every 10s and does not take effect in Domains, Trounce Domains, or the Spiral Abyss. |

Thoughts About Varesa
| Character | In-Game Thoughts |
|---|---|
 Escoffier
|
Oh, Varesa? The fruit from her orchard is amazing. Biting into one is like being transported to a lazy summer's day. She could charge me an extra twenty percent, and it would still be worth it! So, I always treat her to a meal after every purchase. Her appetite is astonishing. It may look like she scarfs it all down in one bite, but if you actually talk to her about the food, it's obvious she appreciates the subtle details. In other words, she has the appetite and palate to back it up - I love serving food to people like that! |
|
Iansan
|
Attitude: Ah, Varesa ... She's my star student, my pride and joy. I hope she hasn't made a bad impression on you ... Oh - no, not like that. When push comes to shove, I'm sure she pulls her weight in battle, and I know she has things under control at the end of the day. It's just, she can be a little ... too relaxed, you know? I feel like if I'm not there constantly pushing her to stay focused, she'll lose all sense of time and treat every day like she's on vacation. Leave the house to run an errand, but then saunter along without a care in the world, letting herself get distracted by every morsel of food she passes along the way ... Once in a while that's fine, but you can't live like that when you're out adventuring, and the stakes are so high! Anyway, I've told her all this before, so hopefully I've gotten through to her by now. But ... the other thing that worries me is the amount of food she needs. I mean, you tell me - is it really practical to go hiking through the hills with a sack of food on your back the size of a baby tatankasaur?
Moderation: My biggest concern for Varesa right now is that her energy management seems out of control. Her metabolism seems like it's stuck on a high-burn mode, meaning she wastes an awful lot of energy, and I suspect that's the cause of her alarming appetite. I do hope she takes some time to look into what makes her this way. I'd love to see her gain the ability to manage her energy expenditure a little better, so she doesn't need to eat like a horse every single meal ... I mean, it's nice to see her thoroughly enjoy her food, but at the same time, I want to urge her to be more mindful of what she's putting in her body. It's never a good idea to just gorge yourself - you have to pay attention to nutrition and quantity, and especially limit your fat and sugar intake. Much better to get her diet under control now than have to deal with the consequences when she develops health issues later in life. |
|
Mavuika
|
During the Pilgrimage, I cover all the expenses at the Weary Inn, and without fail, there's always an order for a party tray for eighty. I used to assume it was someone ordering for a large group of friends, but as it turns out... Varesa ordered it all for herself. |
Varesa's Thoughts About Others
| Character | In-Game Thoughts |
|---|---|
 Citlali
|
About Citlali Oh, I've seen her name in the readers' letters column of some comic books. Granny Itztli is extremely well respected - she's the most powerful hero from the Masters of the Night-Wind! But I gotta say, I always assumed she'd look way older... I didn't recognize her at all when I found her in the tavern in a drunken stupor. She didn't have a single Mora on her and she was mumbling to herself, but the only words I could make out were "Masters of the Night-Wind." So, I paid her bill, threw her over my shoulder, carried her over to the Masters of the Night-Wind, and started asking around for "Granny Itztli." But whenever people turned to look at this person slumped over my shoulder, a look of horror would creep over their face... And then it slowly started to dawn on me that something wasn't quite right... |
 Dori
|
About Dori Oh... Isn't she that... big boss lady who's surprisingly small... but still has infinitely deep pockets? Oof... she's a fierce haggler... Every time she comes to buy fruit from us, she manages to slash at least thirty to forty percent off the selling price, and that's on a good day! On the plus side, though, at least she buys huge amounts - multiple cartloads at a time. And she lets me pet her Shaggy Sumpter Beast. It's so fluffy, and such a big cutie... |
|
Escoffier
|
About Escoffier Miss Escoffier has really strict standards... Every time her restaurant places a bulk order for my fruit, she picks out a few for... what's it called... yeah, "sample analysis." If the sweetness or flavor is even slightly off, she rejects the whole batch... But then again, her cooking? Out of this world. Sooo delicious... Hehehe... If only I could eat it every day! I guess I'd probably have to be a god to afford that. |
|
Iansan
|
About Iansan Coach and Commander: Iansan is my coach. I look up to her the most out of anyone! She helped me discover my true strength, taught me how to fight, and even got me a job in our tribe's Patrol Team. She's pretty well respected in the patrol team, so most of the time she gives me my orders, and I go join the fighting wherever I'm needed. I guess that makes her both my coach and my commander, too! |
 Kinich
|
About Kinich I haven't entered the Pilgrimage that many times, but once, I came up against Kinich during the group stage. That guy is so nimble... He was just dodging all of my moves until I completely exhausted myself, then he knocked me out cold with one hit... By the time I realized that maybe I should get my teammates to help me pin him down... he and the Sacred Flame were long gone. |
|
Mavuika
|
About Mavuika I heard that the plates Mavuika uses on her barbell lifts are five times the weight of her flamestrider! And that she uses ten plates minimum just as a warmup... I also heard a rumor that she can lift a boulder the size of a Long-Necked Rhino with just two fingers! If anyone else was crazy strong like that, I'm sure I'd be too self-conscious to lift weights in front of them. But with Mavuika, it's different... I find the sound of her voice so reassuring, and the look in her eyes is so inspiring and encouraging. It makes me want to push myself as hard as I possibly can every single day. Sure, I may never catch up to her, but that's no excuse to give up. I'm gonna believe in myself, and be the best Varesa I can be! |
 Mualani
|
About Mualani There was this time when Coach Iansan noticed I'd overshot my target weight, and decided I needed a cutting phase. Since swimming's supposed to be good for fat-burning, she arranged for me to do an intensive program over at the People of the Springs territory. I'd be there swimming lengths, while Mualani was surfing around and towing Coach Iansan in a life preserver, so she could monitor my progress... Every day, she made me do pretty much the same distance as I do in my 30 thousand-step shuttle runs... *shudder*... Thank goodness Mualani was secretly slipping me some candy to keep my energy up. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have survived... I'm so grateful to her... |
|
Xilonen
|
About Xilonen When I was learning my crafting skills from the Children of Echoes, Muhuru's Gemporium is where I went to study. The craftspeople there talked about Xilonen all the time! I actually only saw her around once or twice, and I never got the chance to talk to her - but boy, did I get familiar with her music taste! She put together the playlist they have on in the shop, and all the tracks are super catchy. Really good beats - perfect for running, too. I swear, I can go for way longer on my shuttle runs when that stuff's playing! |
