Kachina	About Iansan  Media:VO_Kachina About Iansan.ogg Media:VO ZH_Kachina About Iansan.ogg Media:VO JA_Kachina About Iansan.ogg Media:VO KO_Kachina About Iansan.ogg Before, when I wanted to become stronger, I asked Iansan to train me. She had me do all sorts of high-intensity workouts, and I often only managed to get through them by pushing myself to the limit. Luckily, she always knew just the right amount of training for me, so I still had just enough energy to make my way home after each session... I'm really grateful to her.
Kinich	About Iansan  Media:VO_Kinich About Iansan.ogg Media:VO ZH_Kinich About Iansan.ogg Media:VO JA_Kinich About Iansan.ogg Media:VO KO_Kinich About Iansan.ogg Kinich: I've taken jobs from her before. More of a long-term collaboration, really... She makes fitness meals for her personal-training students, with everything measured out to the exact calorie. To keep this up, she needs a steady supply of fruits that meet her strict quality standards and size requirements. A single bruise or bug bite, and she'll reject the entire batch. Most people find this impossible to work with, but I've got a good eye for these things... plus a reliable means of disposal for fruits that don't make the grade. Ajaw: Wait, what? ...THAT'S what you make my juice from!?
Mualani	About Iansan  Media:VO_Mualani About Iansan.ogg Media:VO ZH_Mualani About Iansan.ogg Media:VO JA_Mualani About Iansan.ogg Media:VO KO_Mualani About Iansan.ogg Iansan is the pride of the Collective of Plenty and all of Natlan. She's been a part of so many Pilgrimages, and is still unbeaten to this day! I registered for her training class, actually, paid the tuition fee and everything. I just haven't started because, uh... I've been too busy to train... Okay, fine. I'll admit... When I saw what Kachina looked like when she finished her training, I heard a voice inside me say, "Hey, you belong in the water. Stay on dry land for too long, and you'll wind up stranded there." Sometimes, you've just gotta listen to your heart!
Xilonen	About Iansan  Media:VO_Xilonen About Iansan.ogg Media:VO ZH_Xilonen About Iansan.ogg Media:VO JA_Xilonen About Iansan.ogg Media:VO KO_Xilonen About Iansan.ogg I once helped the Collective of Plenty make a couple sets of super heavy weight plates and dumbbells. When it was time for the goods to be picked up, Iansan came with a group from the tribe to inspect the finished products. She picked up and checked every single weight before placing them one by one into a cart. After lifting all those weights, she was barely winded, and her face was only a little red. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of them. Not only are they really strong, but they've also got a way with plants...

Trivia

• Iansan's name may be a reference to the orisha Ọya (also known as Ọya-Ìyáńsàn-án, Iansã, or Iansan), a deity in Yoruba mythology as well as Afro-Latin-American traditional religions such as Candomblé or Santería. She is a warrior goddess who governs fire, storms, lightning, hurricanes, death, and rebirth.
  • Ọya is often associated with the color purple, which appears as an accent in Iansan's design.
  • In addition to presiding over death and rebirth, Ọya also is said to rule over the realm of the dead and live at the entrances of graveyards.
