  Aside from using the "power of wind", just how the hell can you reflect objects with just swords?

  Why must they taunt me with this character? It's everything I want except the damage of Lann, which would be overpowered.

  She has a proper set of armor with pants.
  
  Okay I'm probably going to make one eventually. >>

  The original post got erased so he'll just be explaining the main points from the interview.
  
  

  
  
  • The reason why they kept Vella a secret and decided to reveal her now was to aim for the surprise effect since no one would have expected a new character in the midst of the Season 2 update.
    
    
  • Counter attack can be used to continue your ongoing attack and that it works somewhat differently from invincibility frames.
    
    
  • A Vella that foregoes damage and use evasion will have an easier time surviving than Lann. But to do as much damage as Lann, she will have to give up on evasion and use Counter.
    
    
  • One thing that’s weird is that, unlike the TiG interview, they said that they haven’t decided yet whether or not Vella and Lann will share Dual Swords
    [But seeing how they don't have a single detail on secondary weapon, it seems that the Inven interview was done at an earlier date than the TiG interview]
    
    
  • A lot of effort was made to make her action motions seem tough yet feminine. The animator took 3 months worth of lessons on Swordsmanship, Fencing, Pole Fighting, and more for this.
    
    
  • She will hold one of her swords in a reverse back-hand position [which can already be seen in the teaser vid]
    
    
  • The first thing that came to mind for the team when they started work on her character was ‘attractiveness’ and ‘sexiness’ but that proved to be too broad of a definition so they worked from there up to her personality and background.
    
    
  • When asked if players might find her to be too easy [in other words, asking if she will be too OP] The developers mentioned that they too were disappointed by the fact that the players found him to be too easy. They also added that it won’t be the case for Vella since she is a melee character and that she was designed to provide as much tension and thrill as Lann.
    
    
  • The interviewers mentioned that there’s always a flop during the process of development and asked if there is any episode the developers could mention. One was mentioned about her name.
    
    
  • Thought they said that they can’t reveal what her original name was, they decided to change it to Vella in order to avoid confusion between domestic and oversee release. And it’s more easier to pronounce and matches her looks better.
    But this messed up her game resources and her motion fields weren’t working for a couple days.
    
    
  • One interesting incident was when they were testing one of her skills, another developer who was working on another character saw it and said “Cool, I want that for my character” then asked the team to give it him. They of course fought to the end and kept it for Vella.
    
    
  • When asked if new characters of similar concept and different gender will be a ongoing trend they answered that it is not in their plans ATM. [and also asked 'you don't want to play a female Karok do you?']

  
  
  EDIT: Oh yeah, and that developers note with all those pictures of Vella? It can basically be summed up to this:
  
  See Vella
  
  See Vella Run
  
  Vella very pretty and sexy
  
  Run Vella Run
  
  with the exception of
  
  

  
  
  • She is from a harbor town on the west shores and set off on her adventure with only her ‘exceptional talent with the sword’.
    
    
  • She is young and presumably from a wealthy family
    
    
  • Introduces herself as a hitman but there is no evidence to support this claim nor what she really did in her past life.
    
    
  • She is not new to real combat experience.
