Genshin Cow Girl: Meet the irresistibly cute Varesa!

When mentioning the "Collective of Plenty," one of the six tribes of Natlan, Travelers must immediately think of a certain character-Varesa. Today we will partially analyze Varesa, uncovering the unseen design origins of her and her tribe!

1. Varesa Appearance

If one word were to describe Varesa, it would be "Gap Moe". In daily life, Varesa displays a soft and adorable personality. Her appearance follows a JK schoolgirl style foundation-twin braids, fluffy sleeves, a short skirt, bubble socks, a bright blue-pink-white color scheme, numerous cute bows, and lively animation design. Every element meticulously crafts the image of an innocent and lovable young girl.

2. Natlan's "Champion Glutton" Varesa

Varesa is also a renowned foodie, with her voracious appetite deeply embedded in the storyline. When it comes to cuisine, one cannot overlook her family orchard-their fruit trees are celebrated not only within the Collective of Plenty but also cherished by all tribes across Natlan.

Contrasting with her JK-style cuteness, food-loving habits, and orchard-tending persona is Varesa's alter ego-the "Masked Hero" who annihilates foes with thunderous force. Her unique constitution converts her colossal appetite into astonishing strength. In the Collective of Plenty, where power serves as a social credential, Varesha trains under Coach Iansan. As a prodigy of brute strength, her overwhelming power surges beyond conventional melee weapons' capacity, making the bare-handed combat style of wrestling combatants the optimal way to unleash her full potential.

3. Cow Girl: Varesa

Wrestling is also a traditional sport of the Collective of Plenty, originating from Mexican professional wrestling "Lucha Libre," characterized by wrestlers wearing masks. These masks serve as both role symbols and emblems of honor-they are never removed in public, as doing so signifies the end of one's career. Sometimes wrestlers even wager their masks against each other, staking their pride.

When entering combat, Varesa dons her mask, transforming from a delicate maiden into a fierce warrior. Bridging these contrasting personas is the "ox" design motif. Her name derives from the Zulu goddess Mbaba Mwana Waresa, ruler of rainbows, rain, harvests, and agriculture. The fertile lands of the Collective of Plenty, enriched by volcanic minerals, enable abundant crop cultivation-shaping the tribe's agrarian lifestyle and the bountiful produce of Varesa's orchard. Historically, oxen have been pivotal to farming, which contextualizes her orchard stewardship through this symbolic lens.

On the combat design front, Varesa's warrior persona draws inspiration from bovine traits. A bull's signature attacks-horn charges and hoof stomps-manifest as her Elemental Skill's dash and Elemental Burst's aerial kick. These mechanics culminate in her core combat style blending charging strikes with plunging attacks. Even docile plowing oxen become formidable when enraged.

The Collective of Plenty's wrestling culture also integrates bullfighting elements: tribal music carries Spanish flair, while Tatankasaurus participates in matches. The open world features Monetto waving flags to provoke both Tatankasaurus and Travelers. Varesa excels in handling such challenges.

This concludes our analysis of Varesa. I believe after reading this, you’ll find this gap moe character even more intriguing! Don’t miss out on other character analysis and Genshin Impact-related merchandise.
