I read your later post mentioning the Zeppo story before getting back to this one, and yeah. That's going to be a major tightrope act, writing her story without getting a bunch of readers whining about how you should have been writing the sooper-speshul roommate's story instead of this ordinary chick's life.
Mind you, having her reactions to the sparkly destined roomie's various dramas be the ones that sane readers have to the ridiculous heroines in urban fantasies and supernatural romances -- eyerolling at the endless whining about wanting to be normal and give up the powers and destiny and hordes of preternaturally hot love interests, noting the manufacturing of drama when life is actually going pretty well, etc. -- could be a useful narrative technique.
