@Grandpiece "Nope. Ishi choosed Issei for her in the same moment that put her in his house and even made her continue living here in SHIN 2. When all her reasons to continue living here(participate in the tournament) finished."

Valerie also lives in issei's house, and she's Gasper's. So such a thing is not absolute, there's also the fact she didn't appear in the dream sequence even when Yasaka, with much less prevalence than Lint by then, did appear.
