Aina Sahalin
アイナ・サハリン
Aina Sahalim is one of the main characters in the anime OVA Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team. “Sahalin” is a Japanese transliteration of Sakhalin (サハリン).
Aina is Ginias’ sister and a daughter of the Zeonic noble family Sahalin. She is an ace pilot, but she shows concern for her soldiers’ lives. Sahalin family friend Captain Norris Packard acts as a surrogate father for the young Aina at the base looking out for her. Although she’s technically only a test pilot for most of the series, only Ginias outranks her at the Zeon base. She also looks up to Norris Packard as a father figure.
