==Repentia Superior==
Repentia Superiors, also known as a '''Repentia 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|6}}
