Origins

100x100px

Anna Petts was the third child of Kane and Nara Petts, loyal imperial workers on the dubious mining planet of Ariscone. Anna was a bold, headstrong child who spent her days ignoring her teachers, playing with her four siblings and dreaming of slaying the giant man-eating termites that infested the world.

Termite Attack

One spring, during particularly aggressive wave of termites, a petition was sent to The Order of the Cyan Storm for aid. A Mission of Battle Sisters were dispatched from the nearby planet of Diaphone.

Anna was at school when the towns defences failed and the termites began to swarm in. A Battle Sister appeared and began helping the terrified teacher usher children towards the school’s reinforced steel shelter. Before the sister could seal the door, a giant termite burst through the outside floor, entered the doorway, and attacked the sister. Despite sustaining injuries, the sister managed to wrench free and face the beast, keeping herself between it and the children. Seeing the injured Sister, Anna broke away from the huddled class. She ran forwards, past the sister and through the legs of the giant termite, hitting the control panel next to the door. The massive steel barrier dropped from the ceiling, cleaving the termite in two. Both the class and sister were freed the next day, once the siege was broken.

The sister, impressed with Anna, appealed to the order’s Canoness to send the child to the prestigious Schola Progenium, on the grounds that she would make an excellent servant of The Emperor. The Canoness agreed to sponsor her.

Schola Progenium

Anna loved her education, proving to be a particularly adept swordswoman. She grew into a competitive and determined individual, though her teachers would also remark that she could be stubborn and far more reckless than your average schola graduate. Many thought her completely fearless, and Cadet Petts prided herself on it. The Emperor clearly had his eye on her: What could she have to fear?

Upon graduation, Anna was specifically requested as a recruit by The Order of the Cyan Storm, an event she celebrated by getting the biggest tattoo she possibly could: a sunken fleur de lys. When she arrived on Diaphone, she was taken to meet Canoness Valeri- the sister she assisted all those years ago. At her naming ceremony that evening she gave up her name and became Sister Airi.

The Order of the Cyan Storm

The work required of an Adepta Sororitas was difficult and bloody, but she was happy more often than not during her time at Thadal Cathedral. Life on Diaphone suited Sister Airi well and she adored her new Battle Sisters, quickly falling in love with the Order and it's rituals, following the Diaphonian Imperial Creed to the letter. Airi became increasingly convinced that this was her calling, that The Emperor himself had great plans for her. She volunteered for every Mission she could, relishing the opportunity to display her devotion and eager to see what glory her God had planned for her. So when a squad of Sisters were requested to deal with a dangerous uprising off world, Sister Airi jumped at the chance.


It was during this time that the Thadal Cathedral was attacked.

The Aftermath

After the events of The Jormunga Cult Sister Airi was responsible for the identification of the three remaining survivors, as well as over seeing the sinking of her fallen sisters.

Later aboard the Trojan, Airi was informed the broken minds of her remaining sisters and Canonness would take time to heal. For now, there would be no Order of the Cyan Storm. The story was put out that the Order had gone on crusade, not to return within the decade. It was then that Inquisitor Drake offered her employment within the Inquisition. Whilst she loathed to abandon her home and Order, she had to believe that The Emperor had spared her deliberately and that this was all part of His plan. She accepted.

Life in the Inquisition

Initially Airi was quiet, withdrawn and isolated. She took meals alone, spending her days training and studying the creed. At night she dreamt of bloody water, hooks and carrion birds. A social excursion with a few fellow agents has began to break this cycle. Whilst still wracked with grief, guilt and the weight of being the last of her order, she has began to warm to her fellow, trauma ridden agents. Since joining the Inquisition she has attended several missions and proven herself to be an effective, if blunt, tool.

During one such mission ( Mission Improbable ), Airi found that the acts of faith usually granted to her by The God Emperor would not manifest in the face of heretical Astartes. In the ensuing fight her power armour, and the tattoo she got so long ago, was destroyed as she took a Melta shot to the spine. The armour and her backbone were salvaged upon the team's return to The Obelisk, but the tattoo was not. Airi could see this as nothing but a sign to renounce her armour. That she was no longer a Sororitas.

Airi has since recovered, attending numerous missions without the use of her power armour. She remains uncertain as to whether the change is a punishment or part of His Plan, but she prays that the loss is temporary.
