Bio

Sister Cloelia was raised in the sacred halls of the Schola Progenium on the shrine world Helena’s Gate, she never knew her parents. At a young age she was selected for her faith in the Emperor to become a member of the Adepta Sororitas, she received basic training in the myriad tasks of the sisterhood and was selected for the Orders Sabine, who work closely with the Missionarius Gallaxia for her skill with words and her understanding of the creed. As an adult she was seconded to the famous missionary Formosus who she helped convert the heathens on Dolor II. After bringing the faith in the Emperor to this world Formosus and his closest companions travelled to Balleus, where they would continue the Emperor’s work. Cloelia however had not only brought the faith in the Emperor to Dolor II, but while learning about the local interpretations of the galaxy which did not involve the Emperor she came to realize that there are several ways to look at everything and concluded that dogma was not the way forwards. While travelling to Balleus Formosus found out about this and did the only proper thing that he could do, he locked her away to be judged by her order. Chance had it that at the next spaceport there was a ship of the Adepta Sororitas, Formosus had her transferred to this ship and warned the sisters that Cloelia was a heretic. The sisters put her in one of the holding cells and would keep her with them until they reached one of their convents where Cloelia could be judged. When the ship suffered immense damage Cloelia’s cell door somehow opened. She sneaked out and managed to survive. She stole the power armour which she wears from one of the dead sisters along with the weapons which she carries to protect herself. She has been hiding ever since, managing to survive and waiting for a rescue party which she knows will never come. Cloelia has longer hair than regulations prescribe, the dyes of her order are gone from it showing its natural red colour. Under her left eye she has the fleur-de-lys tattoo of the sisterhood, her eyes have a striking green colour. The armour that she wears is covered in scratches, revealing the metal under its white paint. The black cloth parts are torn and dirty but still show the symbol of the Order of the Sacred Rose.
