Alina is a typical female Norian, she has a height of 175cm and weighs 62kg. She has bright violet eyes and waist length white hair. She tends to wear dark or all-black conservative clothing when among strangers in public. However, with close friends she may loosen things up a bit. Her hair is normally worn in a french braid or loose when not constrained by work requirements.

Alina is an ENTJ-A ²⁾ personality type, which aids her in being driven and efficient at anything she does. She can be quite stubborn about things outside of work, especially when it comes to what is best for her. Intolerance and impatience spike up anytime thing occur to disrupt her productivity or line or rational thought. Due to her unwavering stance on many topics she may come off as cold to some.

Alina Shanui was born on Ayenee in YE 22 to Colean and Eitea. Her birth occurred directly after the Space Race and the Colonization of Ayenee. A good portion of her childhood unfolded on the planet which she was born, due to her parents trying to provide her a stable upbringing. Early on in her childhood she displayed strong preferences for cleanliness and organization. This went as far as to keep her room and other parts of the house clean if she noticed a mess or otherwise disorganized items.

During the Umarian Wars she took on a much more important role in the household, even though she was still very young due to the death of her father Colean. When the Umarians pushed the Continuum out, her father had been serving as part of the Continuum's military presence. Her father perished along with many others that were forced out that day. Eitea had never been one for handling official business in regards to household matters, leaving many of these to fall to the only offspring Alina.

From YE 40 to YE 44 she focused her studies on Human resource management with the hopes of one day serving in the military. However, things did not go as planned thanks to the Craethal War and the Declaration of Null. The destruction of new Noria and the events that led to Empress Sinith's death also took the life of her mother. This left her on her own right as her people fled onto the arks.

When the Norian arrival occurred in Xylar in the Kikyo Sector she became determined to lend her talents to the saviors of her people. Immediately after recovering from the events of Operation Fireplace she sought to lend her skills to the Star Army of Yamatai, picking up the local language in the process. At the end of YE 44 she was stationed at her first place of duty Uesureyan Fortress as a Star Army Clerk. However, soon after YE 45 began she was transferred to YSS Mazu to be Taisho Shimizu-Motoyoshi Akina (清水本吉明菜)'s personal clerk.

While waiting to officially report onboard Alina assisted with locating mission essential missing parts. In the partnership with two other's she found Shosho Taro's missing luggage, which had been right where they started the whole time. She returned to the YSS Mazu and reported for duty to Taisho Shimizu-Motoyoshi Akina (清水本吉明菜) and Shosa Mazu Minato.
