Details from Shaded eyes that didn’t make it into the story.

Aranea had a younger brother named Aron, who passed away when he was only 14.
She has a habit of mother henning younger people if they remind her of him. (IE: Prompto because of his personality, Loqi because of his age and eyes.)
Her, Biggs, and Wedge are in the same age group, and grew up together. They are some of the very few people who had met Aron before he passed away.
Her dragoon training took place when she was 15, and nearly killed her. But she managed to master the armor and high velocity impacts with her lance and got to come home.
She was 22 when first meeting Loqi, and he was 16. He trained under her for a time on how to run operations.
She nicknamed him fluff because he was late for training one morning, and showed up with his hair super fluffy.
One of the very few who is hyper aware that Loqi has depression to some extent. It scares her more than she admits because depression is what took Aron. (She recognizes the signs on his face.)
On some level, both Loqi and Aranea acknowledge that they do see each other as something like siblings. But never acknowledge it out loud. It’s easier to brush each other’s concern off if they don’t acknowledge what they are to each other.
