Aina and [[Shiro Amada]] work together to be rescued after their 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. They both manage to escape the destruction of their craft before they are completely annihilated, ending up in a wrecked Federation warship. 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 coordinated attempt to return to their respective sides, Aina and Shiro form a bond, which is shown by Aina giving 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.

He makes it a priority to save Zeon lives, instead of taking them from then forward.

Revision as of 07:16, 23 August 2019

Aina Sahalin (アイナ・サハリン Aina Saharin?)[1] is 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 & Character

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.

History

Meeting Shiro

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.

Apsalus Trials

After returning to her brother's base on Earth, Aina begins test piloting the massive Apsalus I Mobile Armor,

their time spent in this canyon, both begin to show their affection for one another, but at the same time are forced to deal with the conflictions of their respective sides, ultimately keeping them apart. Shiro returns Aina her watch and both are consequently rescued by their own parties. Aina attempts to cover for Shiro by claiming he was killed, but to Aina's dismay, Ginias is aware of her relationship, thanks to a recon photo taken right before her rescue, as well as her more feminine ways of dress and demeanor of a woman in love.

Final Confrontation with Earth Federation

During the final Federation assault on the Zeon base at the end of the series, Aina takes off in the completed Apsalus III with her brother in a failed attempt to cover a Zeon med-evac transport's escape during a temporary cease fire. Ginias botches her plan by firing during the launch, resulting in the Federation shooting down the transport during its escape in retaliation. Aina, in her own process of retribution, is caught off guard by Shiro's abrupt appearance in his heavily damaged Ez8 Gundam. She takes heed to him and attempts to convince Ginias to surrender, but her brother's sheer conviction to destroy Jaburo and the Federation prompts him to shoot her instead. As she falls out of the cockpit, Shiro catches her with his mobile suit. As Aina snaps out of unconsciousness, she and Shiro discover that her watch had actually stopped the bullet from penetrating into her chest. In order to end the conflict once and for all, the two decide that their only remaining option is to kill Ginias and destroy the Apsalus together with Ez8. They manage to crush the cockpit of the Apsalus III as it fires one last devastating particle cannon shot, destroying the Federal Forces mobile battleship and seemingly killing both Aina and Shiro in the process.

Aftermath

It is later revealed that both had indeed survived. She and Shiro escape to the mountains and start a life together in a small log cabin, free from the obligations of war that had been forced upon them. When Kiki Rosita and Michel Ninorich find them, Aina is pregnant with Shiro's child.
