Ami Mizuno had been a smart girl who had felt the pressure of keeping up the image of the people around her. In school, she was someone whose grades were touted as the glory of the that institution's academic standing. Other students did on occasion get jealous of her success, and there were administrators who would prefer that she did only activities that would help her academic abilities and position. Of course, she did enjoy and succeed in her studies on her own, but it was the work of a certain group of close friends that gave her the sorts of relationships that a girl her age needed.
Anna Anderssen was now a girl who lived in Oslo, and was quite successful in her academic standing. There wasn't so much pressure to have her succeed, as to support her desire to go forward. And she was someone whose hunger for learning was great enough so that she learned at speeds that impressed others. When other children would want to play in the snow, she'd be ensconced in her room with a few textbooks and something hot to drink.

The idea made Anna blush, and she had trouble with her own popularity at the schools that she went to. Of course, there were plenty of people who didn't consider her with the same admiration, or mentioned that she wasn't as ahead as some kids who'd already gotten far beyond her level already, but they usually tended to be the jealous sort.
As for her, she was a confident, if a little shy, girl who was a bit awestruck that she was starting college.
Setsuna sighed, and wondered if she would find any of the Senshi in a position where it would be easy to get the girl to Tokyo. It was already very clear that the ones that she had found weren't going to be easy to move.
