Lore

“You're not supposed to be in here! You're going to ruin the surprise!”

The following article/section contains spoilers. Please complete the The Waverider quest before proceeding.

Main article: The Waverider

Yareli was the savior of children who were enslaved by a Grineer named Vulgran. The rescue inspired the children to rise up against their slaver before she blasted him into the sky. Her tale is passed down through a comic Graphica dubbed Waverider #1.

Yareli also served as the originator of K-Driving and inspired the Ventkids to follow in her footsteps.

Trivia

• Yareli is the 47th unique Warframe to be released.
• Yareli was first revealed in Devstream 154. Her in-game model, Abilities, and Signature bubble-gun Secondary Weapon were showcased in Devstream 155.
• Yareli was chosen from community artist Matias Tapia's Warframe concepts art portfolio, specifically the Magical Girl Warframe Series.
• The comic book cover for Waverider #1 was commissioned art created by artist ChickenDrawsDogs.
• Yareli is a female given name of Native American origin meaning "water lady; small butterfly".
  • She is the first Warframe whose name starts with the letter Y.
• Yareli's hoverboard Merulina's name is likely derived from Merulina, a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae.
  • Merulina, as a fictional creature in the Warframe universe, appears to be an amphibious aquatic species. It seems to carry a supply of seawater within its translucent membranous cavity, which could be speculated to provide the oxygen for its gills if it breathes.
  • It is unclear if the liquid propulsion beneath Merulina necessary for its land-based locomotion is provided by Yareli or the creature itself.
• Yareli's Idle Animations emphasize her petite and cutesy demeanor, often making youthful gestures popular with children. She enjoys giggling, flashing victory hand-signs, pointing finger guns, forming heart-shaped water projections, and hugging or sitting on Merulina while playing with water by kicking her feet
  • As the patron saint of the Ventkids, Yareli is idolized by the orphans for her heroic deeds and gave them the inspiration to start K-Driving.
• When compared to her concept art, Yareli's in-game model has slight alterations:
  • The inner layer of the side clothes became protruding garments on the back of her dress, resembling the shape of a fish's tail fin.
  • Small frills were added above the back of her ankles.
  • Her feet were reshaped from ballet shoes to platform wedge heels.
• Yareli and  Hydroid's familial relations are up for interpretation, as [DE]Pablo playfully denied that she was the daughter, while [DE]Rebecca viewed them more as siblings.
• Yareli is the first Warframe to be able to access and ride a variant of the K-Drive in standard Star Chart Tile Sets.
