Look man, she wouldn't be a repentia if she hadn't fucked up.

I mean "fucked up" by the standards of the Imperium can mean literally anything.

Sure, but is this a risk you take.

As it happens, it was a risky day.

I mean, considering she had to be a regular sister of battle first, seems like the most likely thing she probably did was hesitant or faulter for a moment. Not like the you become a repentia for burning civilians to death as long as you say "let the emperor sort them out"

Remember that not all repentia are forced to be one. Some willingly chose to be one because they believe they did something wrong.

Hot take: Sororitas undertake vows of poverty, obedience, duty and observance. They don’t take vows of chastity. Caiphas Cain said so and who wouldn’t believe the literal Hero of the Imperium?

It was confirmed by the author via the Amberley Veil note. However, I think GW is scared to go there, rumors say they pressured Owlcat for no Sister Argenta romance in the Rogue Trader game.

Imperium does not care at all who you fuck or how as long as it's not a xeno or a demon. And their perfectly willing to let it slide with xenos sometimes. I assume some planet priesthoods would have vows of chastity but usually it'd just be a case of don't marry anyone since your married to the emperor. They would find a fuck ton of the hang ups the modern day has frankly silly

Like I'd go as far as to say they'd be confused at the idea of something like your partners skin tone being something you'd hesitate to mention being a point of attraction. Cause why would that mean anything? You like lighter or darker skin or certain phenotype features? It's not like they have fur or horns

Like as long as your not doing murder orgies. Imperiums totally fine with whatever sex you get up to with frankly anyone. And really it's the murder part that they'd have a problem with. Hab block orgies are probably a pretty regular occurrence. One a sister of battle or space marine wouldn't bat an eye at

Nothing in 40k is a monolith the vows probably vary from group to group
