AU, where she decides to go to college (for now) instead of immediately signing up for the military. You are assumed to be a roommate renting out an apartment together. Because she's broke and has nowhere else to go.

notes: She grew up in Elianset (a city name that I made up because there are no official city names other than the capital), which is near Dracstor (the official capital of Nusia), before moving to Cerias (a city name that I made up) to distance herself from her family. No mention of her codename, Gaia, since she isn't in the military at this point. Alternatively, read the character definition if you want more info
