This 11-year-old Chechen girl’s face is a piece of art. Her name is Amina Ependieva. She is diagnosed with two rare genetic conditions: Albinism in which she lacks the melanin pigment making her skin and hair extremely white, and Heterochromia in which her eyes are different in colour.

Amina Ependieva was born on December 11, 2008, in Grozny, the capital city of Chechnya, Russia. Amina is said to living there since her birth. However, many netizens are also claiming Amina to be from Kurchaloy, a small town in Chechnya. She is very well known in Chechnya for her breathtaking beauty.
