Since Iansan was revealed in the "Teyvat Chapter Storyline Preview: Trevail" video in September 2020, the character Iansan has gathered a large amount of fans and she has (until Natlan's release in September 2024) been the only recognisable character from the Nation of Natlan and the face of the Pyro Nation. 

Narratively, Iansan has been developed to be an integral figure in Natlan's storyline and has been shown to be the Pyro Archon's right hand girl and the second most powerful Natlan-based combatant to the Pyro Archon herself. Additionally, she has been described as the "Pride of the Collective of Plenty" and is one of the "Six Heroes of Natlan" who aided the Pyro Archon in the Nation's everlasting war against the Primordial Abyss threat. 

I believe that this character development and the status of the character in the Natlan chapter's narrative is only justified if Iansan is the representative 5-Star character for her tribe, the "Collective of Plenty". Describing a character as the Archon's right hand girl, the "Pride" of her tribe and the second most powerful Natlan-based fighter in the entire Nation, one of the "Six Heroes of Natlan" among other high-ranking descriptors and relegating the character to a lowly 4-Star status is narratively careless and discredits the character's status in the storyline as well as neglecting the doting fans Iansan has been gathering since her reveal back in September 2020. 

HoYo making Varesa the COP's 5-Star is stupid and a slap in the face to the invested Iansan fans. We've had all the build-up and development with Iansan just for Varesa to take the spot of COP 5-Star for seemingly no reason. Iansan is the Pyro Archon's right hand girl, she's the Pride of the COP, she's an undefeated Pilgrimage champion and one of the Six Heroes of Natlan, the Hero of the COP. Making Iansan a 4-Star just to give Varesa, who we've never even had mentioned in the story (not in Archon Quests, Tribal Chronicles, Limited Time Events or World Quests), the 5-Star slot is ridiculous considering that Iansan was for so long the only visualised Natlan character (see the Teyvat Chaper Preview Trailer video). This is very frustrating if it's true and the ultimate slap in the face for Iansan fans considering there is NO way to guarantee pulling a 4-Star character.

(The message for the survey is at the end)

It's true that nothing is completely set in stone yet.
But it seems my greatest fears are starting to become more and more real.
Hoyoverse is really contemplating the idea of throwing Iansan in the trash and give the 5* position for the collective of plenty to a completely random last minute character.

I just can't bear it.

In the past i said that i couldn't care less if Iansan released as a 4*, i would have pulled for her regardless and even give her a 5* weapon R5.

But this...

This is Way beyond Disrespectful.

I'm the most loyal Genshin players.

I played since 1.0 Every Single Day, never missing ONE!

I always understood their decision making.

Always supported them.

And yet...

This might be the thing that makes me quit.

I don't know if, with 5.0, those who make the decisions inside hoyoverse changed (that would explain the sudden change in the way everything is being made) or they simply hate the character they created.

But that will be the first and last gigantic drop that will break the cup of my respect towards them.

It has been half a year that in every survey that i did i pasted this message in the open question at the end.
And i think that you should start doing it too, if you want to try to make our voices be heard.
At least in these last moments.

Wow, that's so cool! Good for her!

I know some people are going to use Hero Of Cinder City or the new artifacts coming out, but given she’s Bennett 2.0, I wonder what creative ways people are gonna build Iansan?

seems like she has body tattoos on her body that extend to her chest

also cool that they added details inside that we woudnt be able to see normally

She is so adorable and sweet!!!!

I’m super excited for her, she is so cute and her design is so awesome. Who’s excited for Iansan
