[[Image:RepentiaArt8th.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sisters Repentia{{Fn|6}}]]Having failed or fallen short of the Sororitas' strict religious codes in the past, Repentia Sisters seek to earn the [[Emperor]]'s grace once more by self-flagellation and find a glorious death in the heat of battle. Though ultimately outcasts, they are none the less revered by their fellow Sisters, who see them as pilgrims seeking the absolution of death and ultimate sacrifice in the name of the Emperor. Repentia typically go to battle wielding massive [[Eviscerator]] [[Chainsword]]s.{{Fn|1}}

They frequently wield Sororitas of any [[Order]] can become a Repentia. A [[Battle Sister]] who disobeys the ceremonial command of her superior, a [[EvisceratorDialogus]] who is given to the sin of curiosity, a [[ChainswordFamulous]] as well as who fails to unveil the hidden schemes of her wards - all are disgraces in the eyes of the Sisterhood. They are exiled from whatever Order they serve and given over to one of the [[Neural WhipOrders Militant]] , where they undergo merciless spiritual and physical reconditioning. In war they are led into typically placed in the front of battle . It is possible for a Repentia to redeem herself through deeds of great bravery and butchery In fact, some of the greatest and most faithful Champions of the Adepta Sororitas were at one point Repentia, such as [[Celestine]]. Those redeemed in this way are revered by brutal overseers their fellow Sisters, for through them the Emperor is shown to shepherd his servants through their weakness. Some Sisters even go so far as to willingly become Repentia over the slightest shortcoming.{{Fn|6}} ==Repentia Superior==Repentia Superiors, also known as a '''Mistresses of RepentanceRepentia Mistress'''{{Fn|1}}, are given the solemn task of guiding Repentia in their atonement. These veteran Sisters act as overseers of the Repentia, driving them forward in battle and watching for any signs of sin. Repentia Superior's will frequently remind the guilty of their sins, recounting with scorn their failings so that their self-loathing and humility remains strong. Repentia Superiors carry [[Neural Whip]]s which send jolts of agony through a targets body. Before battle, each Repentia takes a lash of one of these whips, filling their bodies with pain. The agony she endures reminds her of her guilt, causing her to throw herself at her enemies in the coming struggle. On the battlefield, Repentia Superiors lead from the front and use their whips to strike down the enemy.{{Fn|16}} ==Elite Mistress Repentia==A special hand-selected squad composed entirely of Sisters Repentia Mistresses. At least one squad was requisitioned by [[Canoness]] [[Selena Agna]] to be her personal retinue during the [[Kaurava]] Campaign.{{Fn|10}}
