What I see is how wrong I've been about you. I always thought of you as the other half of me. We were taught the same lessons. We played under the same sun. We even matched each other to become one person. But you're not my other half. You're my shadow. You're the darkness I leave behind me. I'm fighting for what is right. You're not fighting for anything but yourself, your resentment, your anger. We both felt the burden of being ourselves in this country, but you've carried it harder. The prejudice, the bigotry...you could never let anyone in. You were always waiting for them to show their true face, and when they didn't, you forced them to see it. Like Simon. You enrolled us in the FBI so you could fight, but the law wasn't enough, was it? You couldn't simply fight hate, because you felt hate, too. I'd ask who changed you, who turned you into this thing, but I know the answer is me.
Raina Amin to Nimah Amin

Raina Amin is the twin sister of Nimah Amin. She is a conservative Muslim who joined the FBI Academy in order to become an FBI agent. She is a former recruit at Quantico. She graduates from the academy in Yes and later became a federal agent. She wears the hijab, unlike her sister. She is portrayed by Yasmine Al Massri.

Character Biography[]

Raina Amin is a strong woman who follows the traditional dictates of Islam. She is loyal and bold to the United States. In addition, she is a stellar NAT at Quantico, later graduating as an agent of the Bureau. Later, she is assigned to be a conference interpreter at the 2018 G-20 summit in New York. When a hostage crisis erupts, she is confronted with enemies that are clearly aligned against the interests of America. Will her determination and strength of character be enough to overcome the adversities surrounding the G-20 hostage crisis?

Description[]

Raina, began as an FBI recruit at Quantico, as part of a covert project sanctioned by former Assistant Director, Miranda Shaw. Her sister, Nimah was also recruited and the twins were told to swap places often in order to maintain cover at the academy.

Eventually, the two sisters were finally revealed to the rest of the recruits after Simon Asher blew their cover. Sometime later, the sisters became FBI agents after graduating from Quantico in Yes.

Months after graduating, she left the Bureau due to getting emotionally distraught after infiltrating a terrorist cell, as part of an undercover mission as well as the subsequent events, following the second bombing at the Command Center. Raina initially moved back to her home in Detroit, Michigan, but later became a high-level diplomatic translator.

In the future, Raina was given a work opportunity as a conference interpreter at the 2018 G-20 summit in New York. On the day of the summit, she made her way into the 28th Liberty Street building. However, moments after the summit meeting started, a hostage crisis was declared by a terrorist group called the Citizens Liberation Front (CLF). Raina becomes part of the hostages that were held against their will and was at the mercy of the terrorists that wanted President Todd to comply with their demands.

Sometime later, Raina is seen in an empty room. After Nimah enters the room, she confronted Raina and revealed her reasons for joining the terrorist group. After the Islamic Front took credit for the 2018 Hostage Crisis, Raina's sister, Nimah was pardoned for her actions with stipulations upon becoming a member of the Presidential Covert Joint Task Force. When her sister later uncovered the real reasons as to why she was added to the task force, Nimah voices her concern to Raina. After Raina is suspected of a bombing attack in Ohio, Nimah convinces Raina to take her place at the task force. Nimah wanted to seek redemption and atone for her mistakes during her time as a CLF member. After Nimah is incarcerated, Raina posed as her in order to continue her mission to take down The Collaborators, who were the hidden culprits behind the crisis. Later, Raina offered to surrender herself to the authorities, whilst members of the task force were attempting to take down The Collaborators. Weeks later, the team successfully exposed the dealings of the former President, Henry Roarke, with the Russian Federal Security Service and subsequently, his connection with the other members of The Collaborators. After their success and the death of the President, the Amin sisters were released from federal prison and they pardoned for their earlier arrests.
