Appearance:

In armour, bearing the heraldry of the Order of the Holy Tempest: [Link]

Unarmoured: Marie possesses the cropped, bleached-white hair typical of many Adepta Sororitas. Her face is largely unremarkable and possessed of a simple attractiveness, but delineated by a firm jaw and angular brow which imbue her with a harsh, martial quality. She has the fluer-de-lis of the Adepta Sororitas tattooed on her right cheek, and set above her left brow is a small tattoo of a linked chain. Her body is sturdy and wiry with muscle.

Personality: Marie is dour and humourless, but in a manner that is so overtly forced that it manifests itself more as the following of a strict personal doctrine than a natural aspect of her personality. She often forces herself brashly into hardship and challenge and struggles out with unrelenting, machine-like efficiency, and as such is often a reliable anchor for her companions when in combat. In her personal life she is unremarkable; quiet, ascetic and spending much of her time studying scripture and taking physical exercise. Her only remarkable trait is her tendency to obsessively repair and double-check her possessions and armaments, as well as those of others and any field equipment. This diligence is often beneficial, but could equally often be interpreted as arbitrary or impertinent; the latter particularly in the eyes of the monastic techpriests, whose ire she often attracts.

Prior History: Marie was born on the oceanic world of Ascetus as the only daughter to a family of respectable polar ice merchants. As a black omen, her mother died in childbirth, and indeed - despite several stable and relatively pleasant early years - misfortune soon struck when her father was convicted of smuggling and promptly executed. Marie was passed over to the Schola Progenium and resumed her childhood as a miserable and quiet orphan. Misfortune struck once more - and struck harder - when the suboceanic hive containing the Schola Progenium habitat in which she resided was consumed by an insurrection of Nurglite cultists. As disease and bloodshed claimed all around her, some innate and macabre quality within Marie was given life, and where others perished she was able to survive and eek out an existence fighting a vicious guerilla war from within her habitat. When the insurrection was crushed and purged, and the enforcers able to pass the flooded maze of gruesome traps and pressurised blockades assembled by Marie throughout the habitat, they found no sign of her save an unsealed airlock.

Instead, Marie was found by an altogether more unlikely ally. Half-dead, washed up in a ruptured dive-suit in the bay of their convent island, The Order of the Holy Tempest discovered Marie. An utterly remote and near-legendary organisation to the laypeople of Ascetus, Marie had placed her last hope of escape and redemption here, making a thirty kilometre trek along the seafloor in a rigged dive-suit to reach the island. The Sororitas convent placed significant portent on the efforts of their child, who had embarked on a similar suboceanic trial as their founding Canoness and arrived here alive and untainted. She was promptly inducted into the ranks of the small and reclusive order.

Recruitment:

Evaluating all her misfortunes as being the result of avoidable human weakness, she saw her induction into a spartan life of hardship and rigorous training as a chance to remove any chance of such weakness arising in her and rid herself of misfortune. Her trial under the waves had a deep impact on her psyche, and the ocean was forevermore imbued with a powerful significance for her, just as it did likewise for her order. As a result, she adapted exceptionally well to her training and meditations, and quickly excelled as a Sister.

The world of Ascetus is located in a sector infamous for its Ork corsairs and hordes. The Order of the Holy Tempest had a sacred duty to protect the sacred archeotech stored on Ascetus from this threat, and as a result routinely found themselves deployed in the heat of fighting at the sector fringes. It was in this crucible of war that Marie earned her ascension to Sister-Celestian, but her recruitment to the retinue of Inquisitor Lucifer was to be born out of an altogether more dire ordeal.

It was during a long-expected and long-dreaded invasion of a roving Ork horde that Marie found herself fighting on the moon of Diocletian-II, as the Celestian vanguard she belonged to attempted to dislodge the heart of the Ork command. The fighting was brutal and close-quarters; well suited to the particular fighting style of the Holy Tempest, utilising webbers and unusual power tridents to incapacitate and slay foes in melee. They were nearing the inner sanctum of the Ork warlord, when it happened. Too unexpected and too sudden to understand at the time, Marie found her fellow sisters and the Orks around her crippled by a wave of repulsive psychic energy. The Orks distended and bloated, and her sisters cried out in anguish and died around her. Marie felt a heavy weight on her mind and a dizzying sense of repulsion, but some inner bulwark of her consciousness defied its effect and left her sensibilities intact whilst the nightmare erupted around her. The Orks she had been fighting were Orks no longer; they were outlandish figures of warped and decaying flesh, with great maws and scything talons. As they approached, Marie steadied herself as the psychic maelstrom subdued, and resigned herself to the imminent combat.

Her distress signal was detected fourteen hours later, by a recently arrived Inquisitorial survey frigate. Ordo Hereticus. She was found amidst a nightmarish carnage of ichor, slain Orks and indescribable remains. Her Sisters were slain. The entire Imperial force deployed to the moon was routed. A terrible Nurglite daemon prince was now revealing itself elsewhere on the moon, and the war was set to escalate severely. Yet Marie alone survived.

This was viewed with severe scepticism. After two days of relentless Inquisitorial mind-delving, she was deemed pure and doubt was removed. When doubt was removed, the story was remarkable; a warrior surviving against great odds, belonging to a seldom seen order of trident-wielding Sororitas, and - most importantly - resisting a harsh infernal psychic phenomenon with apparent power of will. This was too intriguing a character for Inquisitor Lucifer to resist, and a mandate was sent to the Order of the Holy Tempest requisitioning her services.
