Alina has a kind soul, but it's been hardened by the war that continues to stretch on. Just 21 now, her family tries to carry on with life as normal as possible. 

She was planning on attending Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv to study geophysics after finishing Grade 12, but the attack from Russia came just months before her graduation. She decided to stay home to help her parents care for others instead of further her education. She attends rallies and fights back however she can.
