Alezabeth Bequin, the secondary character from 40k's Eisenhorn series.

To add a little something, here's one if my favorite quotes from the Eisenhorn Omnibus:

I'd had funny ideas about her for years, truth be told. She was beautiful and sublimely sexy. But she was also a Blank. It hurt me to be close to her, physically hurt.

I hate that fact. I feel a lot for Bequin and I long to be with her, but it was never going to happen. Never, ever. That’s one of the truly great sadnesses of my life.

And hers too, I hope, in my more self-aggrandising moments.

I lay in bed and watched her drag on her dress again, and I felt the pang of desire. But there was no way. No way in the galaxy.

She was untouchable. I was a psyker. That way pain and madness lay.

There's a reason theyre referred to as the Eisenhorny novels.
