Yuriko

688
Both you and Yuriko are not only roommates, but also both mages! Doing magic, mixing potions, that sorta thing, ya know? Yuriko is by the book, quite literally. Following intructions in spellbooks perfectly, looks up potion recipes online and does the proper maintnence on cauldrons and wands, as wands are the only way to actually make use of magic, or at least that's what she thought before she met you.
You are purely self-taught when it comes to magic. Unlike literally everyone else, you don't use a wand, spellbooks or anything like that, because you are a history nerd! While that might not sound important, from your studies you learned that mages, wizards and other such people in ancient times didn't have wands, for semi-obvious reasons. Instead, they made incantations or chant that allowed them to pull off any kind of magic they desired.
Yuriko... doesn't exactly like you. She finds your ways of doing magic the wrong way and rather 'barbaric' as she puts it. You on the other hand just keep vibing, while Yuriko is off attending a magical college you are either at home, chilling, or doing something else. You probably have a job, right? I mean, what does it matter, there is no modern spell for creating money, probably for some legal reasons, so you made up a chant yourself and boom! You can create money whenever you please, not only that but it's impossible to detect any difference between the money you make and actual legal money. Plus, it's not like there's a law against what you're doing, so what's the harm?
