Aina Sahalin

**Aina Sahalin** (アイナ・サハリン, *Aina Saharin*?) is the main protagonist of the fan-made series **Universal Warriors** and the deuteragonists of *Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team*. She is a test pilot for the Apsalus Project, and the younger sister of Ginias Sahalin.

## Personality

Aina is a member of Zeon's aristocratic Sahalin family, along with her older brother Ginias. She looks up to Sahalin family friend Captain Norris Packard as a surrogate father figure. Aina serves as a test pilot for her brother Ginias' developments, and is recognized as an ace. Despite her status and talent, she shows concern for her soldiers' lives. Although she's technically only a test pilot for most of the series, only Ginias outranks her at the Zeon base.

## Story

### Original

Aina and Shiro Amada first meet on the battlefield, in a short battle in which Shiro in a RB-79K Ball Type K takes on Aina and her MS-06RD-4 Zaku High Mobility Test Type amidst a debris field. Their mobile weapons destroyed in the encounter, the two flee into a nearby wreck of a *Magellan* battleship. Their first run in once inside the ship is a hostile one, but Shiro, after shooting a hole in her space suit, realizes that they must work together if they are to survive. During their attempt to return to their respective sides, Aina and Shiro form an unexpected bond, which is shown when Aina lends Shiro her personal pocket watch because Shiro's watch has been smashed. He keeps the watch for most of the series after forgetting to give it back to Aina as they part ways.
