Burning Princess
The Burning Princess is an alpha-plus level Rogue Psyker in the Calixis Sector, who is known mostly for Pyromancy.[2]
In 656.M41, she appeared to be a bald-headed woman in her late teens.[2]
History
According to damaged records, a nine year-old child named Lottie (surname unknown) manifested powerful pyrokinetic abilities. A witch hunter team was sent to collect her for the Black Ships, but all records of the results of that mission were destroyed.[1] A pyrokinetic girl with a witch hunter's brand on her cheek[3] was involved in a rebellion on Pellucida IX, which brought her to the attention of the Ordo Hereticus.[2] Since then, she has worked alongside the pirates of the Storm Walker[1] in the Hazeroth Abyss,[3] the mutants of the Stigmatus Covenant, a variety of violent rebellious & heretical groups,[2] and is thought to have been the one who burned down Acreage's Cathedral Mount, which killed ten thousand pilgrims and citizens of the world, including all of the senior clergy.[1] The Burning Princess also killed the Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Fhendahl on Dusk, as well as the specially equipped taskforce he used in his failed attempt to apprehend the Rogue Psyker. Rumours of a 'burning woman' taking part in civil unrest on St. Astrid's Fall in 656.M41 merited an Inquisitorial agent being sent after her, but all contact with said agent was lost[2]
The Scholastica Psykana initially classified her as a low alpha level psyker,[1] but that was quickly upgraded to alpha-plus level, prompting fears that she will continue to grow more powerful as she ages.[2]
She appears to be a loner, though she works as a mercenary for heretics, mutants, and pirates, seemingly at random, wandering the Calixis Sector with no apparent aim, or motivation.[1] Survivors of her attacks confusingly report her as being alternately a jaded, dead-eyed puppet of a person, or a maniacal malicious sadist, laughing at the pain and death that she inflicts.[3]
