Born and raised in Anaheim, Alina came from a quiet home and a small family. She attended dance classes in her spare time and went to church with her parents on Sundays. To those around her, all seemed fine. Until something changed. Barely out of school she packed what she could carry and left home. She started sleeping on friends couches, refusing to return home, quiet and subdued. When the police came knocking on the door, she responded by moving further away. Eventually a boy she liked got her involved with the 'Reapers', a group of bikers having obtained a share in local protection rackets and drug distribution. She fell to drug use and became all but lost. Even as a poor substitute for a home, it wouldn't last for long. Rivalry made the Reapers no more and Alina settled herself even further west, a little worse for wear but clinging onto a new chance for a better life.
