Aisha Aquino was born in 10 BDD in District One. She was raised by her father and grandparents along with an older brother Alvaro. It is not known what happened to her mother, as she is never mentioned by Aisha.

She grew up hearing stories about her Latinx ancestors who fought for their rights to speak Spanish, protested against border separation, and marched against discrimination such as the pay gap. By the time she was nine she had learned to fire a gun, taught by her father who was wary of the turbulence in Panem. When the war broke out, Aisha quickly joined the ranks of the rebellion with the rest of her family and coined the nickname 'Jailbird' for her record number of times she broke in and out of District One's prison.
