**Renetta Tellissaare** was a female Praeliorian Elite and graveyard keeper who oversaw operations for the Praeliorian Empire's Grand Mortuary, an enormous indoor cemetery that housed countless of fallen Praeliorians, many of them elites like Tellissaare.

## Biography

### Early Life and Career

Renetta Tellissaare was born on the planet Praelior, the shining, barren capital of the Praeliorian Empire. Presumably born around the turn 60th century ASA, Renetta became an imperial Elite officer; a career that would last her many decades. She had witnessed a great amount of strife throughout her lifetime as an imperial officer.

By the time she was in her elder years, Renetta stopped performing more active and life-threatening tasks as an Elite. She would go on to devote most of her time working as a graveyard keeper of sorts, overseeing operations at the Grand Mortuary where many Praeliorians slept for all of eternity.

### A Visit From a High Elite

Sometime in latter half of the year 5957 ASA, High Elite Cirioma Thystamel and her Dremirian servant Petrolos paid a visit to the Grand Mortuary. Thystamel met with Tellissaare, who was in the middle of finishing her prayers, desiring to pay a visit to the grave of her niece Lemon Thystamel, who died just three years prior. To Cirioma's dismay and to Renetta's displeasure, the graveyard keeper informed the High Elite that her niece was never laid to rest at the Grand Mortuary. When Lemon died three years ago, Renetta was informed that the situation that led to her death was "too chaotic" for imperials to retrieve the body.

While Renetta sympathized deeply with the High Elite and wished her the best, Cirioma was left without the closure she desperately needed during a time of internal crisis and questioning of faith.

## Personality and Traits

Renetta was a Praeliorian woman and, as such, had completely white skin, white hair, and white eyes devoid of any visible pupils or irises. Her blood was colored a pale green, and thus her face paint as an Elite reflected this trait.

Many recognized Renetta for her generally calm and collected demeanor, for her tired eyes, and for her somber half-smile, at least in her old age. Her voice could almost be viewed as emotionless, but more tranquil and soothing rather than cold. Some chalked these qualities up to her experiences throughout her many years of living as an imperial citizen, resulting in her somber presence. She was a spiritual individual who often prayed performed final rites, both for guests who requested such services and for herself. As someone who tended to the largest mortuary on her home planet, Renetta believed that people should be given the time necessary to remember those who had passed away, contrary to most Elites who were often fueled by malice, vengeance, and sadism. At heart, Renetta was a deeply empathetic and sympathetic individual who understood the difficulties of loss.
