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}}
Sororitas of any [[Order]] can become a Repentia. A [[Battle Sister]] who disobeys the command of her superior, a [[Dialogus]] who is given to the sin of curiosity, a [[Famulous]] who fails to unveil the hidden schemes of her wards - all are disgraces in the eyes of the Sisterhood. They are exited exiled from whatever Order they serve and given over to one of the [[Orders Militant]], where they undergo merciless spiritual and physical reconditioning. In war they are 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 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}}
