There's certainly stuff to work with there. First there's the idea of some special purpose - that's a potential explanation in itself (especially when we consider that Lunar "spirits" are likely to be more willing to work with friendly outsiders).

Then there's the whole "screwed up your life" business. If that was kept vague in-game there could be a lot more to it than anything that would be obvious to the character.

You can either say that she's a Jakaleel Practitioner (knowingly or not !) or argue for some (very) special relationship with the "spirit" (lune ?).
