In much of the Imperium the priesthood is entirely male, women may only serve the Emperor by joining the Adeptus Sororitatus, but not so on your world. You are part of the Sigmariet Sect, an old and potent branch of the Adeptus Minasortium, which believes that all persons must marry and produce children for the Immortal Emperor: that his armies be truly 'inexhaustible'. They also believe that women may serve the Emperor in his priesthood because who but another woman can understand all the challenges and temptations that beset the souls of the women in the Emperor's service? Thus it is that you are called to the Emperor's Clergy, and thence to the Inquisition.
You were born to a pair of simple manufactora workers on the hive world of Sarichard, but from a young age it was obvious you were different from your seven brothers and sisters. Your Faith was always the strongest of your family, your parents turning to you for simple advice on spiritual matters as you grew older, even before you were an adult. By the time you graduated from the Normal School it was clear to everyone that you were destined for the clergy, and you were engaged to a young Parson, one Rev. Albus Vincent Hyacinth. Your fiance and entire factory floor clubbed together to get you a scholarship to the Hive's premiere seminary, where you managed to become a fully accredited Minister in only 4 years where the course normally required 5. This was where your life took a HARD left turn.
It was your honeymoon, you were spending it in a up hive 'resort' and fucking like rabbits when out of the blue there was an explosion and the sounds of people screaming. You grabbed your las pistols and combat knives (Even on vacation you are always ready for trouble.) and rushed to the sounds of the fighting, chanting litanies of faith all the while.
What awaited you downstairs was horror. An abomination from your darkest nightmares stood engaged in bloody slaughter, a group of chaos cultists, led by a possessed psyker!
