It really just seems like copying the 'unique' story they game made to make a quest-line and makes it overplayed.
To be sickly or something in your character could always do something like a family illness or something along the line where every generation or something since this distant relative there's always children who don't make it and your character has found a way to survive, albeit from healing herself and draining her mind from the process which still leaves her in a weak/sickly state.
Or she's constantly going out and healing the elderly and sick to the point she's burning the candle at both ends.
That doesn't have much to do with the lore, it's just taking what is suppose to be a fluke person for the game to make people skip cut-scenes and regurgitating it. Lore-based, any conjurer would hella know better than to do something so bloody stupid.
Consider the alternative, though. There's been a huge influx of adventurers storming Eorzea for the past seven~ years. There's perfectly reasonable doubt that those who applied to help with good intentions just never got the hang of it. Just consider the college application numbers compared to graduation numbers.
It's done a lot, yeah, but it's not too far off that there's a large pool of people who just didn't get the teachings properly despite the (one, remember, there's one CNJ guild) best efforts of a limited staff.
