A simple Sister from Sanctus Lys, Mira Emillara has been raised her entire life to protect the Imperial backwater. But she has always felt that there was more to her destiny than dusting ancient statues and drilling to protect a shrine that would probably never be attacked. And so, she requested permission to take a leave of absence from her superiors in order to go on a pilgrimage. To that end, she entered a lottery a managed to win passage on the Alma Redemptoris Mater. Perhaps seeing the shrine of sainted Sir Thomas Beckett will quiet her wild spirit and wanderlust. But if not, she is willing to travel all the way to Holy Terra to soothe her soul with the balm of faith. But she is still of the Adepta Sororitas. Any evil or heresy that comes her way will have to taste bolter and chainsword, and be purified. For her vows stand until her last breath.
