Saint Celestine

==Summary==
Saint Celestine is a revered Living Saint of the Adepta Sororitas' Order of Our Martyred Lady. Though little is known of her mortal life, it is known that Celestine was once a Sister Repentia who fought during the war of Palatine Schism. At the forefront of the most brutal fighting, Celestine was believed to have been slain, but upon recovering her body, her fellow sisters found she still lived. Once cleaned, she was also found to be entirely free of wounds. Celestine soon became the Crusade's sacred figurehead, tearing countless foes to bloody pieces in the name of the holy God Emperor. 
Venturing to the world of Sanctus Lys, Celestine discovered the Shrine of Saint Katherine. Upon entering the forgotten crypt, she found the Saint's gleaming golden power armor and sacred sword known as the Ardent Blade. After her apotheosis, Celestine herself was granted the title of Living Saint, and continued to lead and inspire all faithful who lay eyes upon her for years to come. While thought lost whilst fighting the renegade Warmaster of Forrax, Celestine showed that death had no hold over her, returning time and time again to aid warriors of the Imperium in their hours of need.
Most recently, she participated in the defense of Cadia against Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade. Despite the best efforts of her and many other Imperial heroes, Cadia was eventually lost when the remains of the Blackstone Fortress Will of Eternity were sent crashing into the planet, destroying its pylon fields and allows the Eye of Terror to overtake it. Celestine's current whereabouts seem to be somewhere in the Webway, making plans against the rising tide of Chaos alongside unlikely Eldar allies.

Standard Equipment:
*Armor of Saint Katherine: Celestine's armor once belonged to Saint Katherine Elysius, a prominent and highly revered figure in the Ecclesiarchy canon. The armor not only provides physical protection akin to artificer armor, but also grants incredible amounts of divine shielding, as well.
*The Ardent Blade: This holy blade is said to be the Emperor's wrath made manifest. Not only can it cleave through all layers of protection with its sharpened edge, but also spew waves of holy fire that completely incinerates all in its path.
*Geminae Superia: Celestine is often accompanied by the Geminae Superia, Eleanor and Genevieve, two powerful Sisters of Battle brought back from the dead by Celestine's will alone. Each of them is surrounded by a suit of golden power armor with a Seraphim jump pack and carries a bolt pistol, power sword, and frag/krak grenades into battle. The Geminae Superia are incredibly powerful in their own right, the two together capable of slaying the same daemon prince who initially laid them low, and can be brought back indefinitely by Celestine herself.
Intelligence: Untold years of combat experience often augmented by her visions of the future
Weaknesses: Loses a little bit more of herself every time she revives
