Her mother is unable to support her, and has a younger son also. Her mother has a mental handicap and is cared for by her mother and aunt. Pinky is very shy, and has had a difficult time in school because she was placed at a higher level than appropriate, due to her supposed age.

She wants to be a missionary when she grows up.
