Brief History:
Sabine Renate Blasendorf was born to an older couple that came to Thalland City from their native Nachtwelt. She shared a special kinship with her sister Ute, who was born two years after her. The two were their own best friends. Sabine was never musically inclined until she was 13, when she saw some of her classmates, who had formed their own band, performing at a “Battle of the Bands” event held at her school. It was then she knew she wanted to play the drums, the solid beats pounded as her heart. She worked hard for the money for a drum set, and when she did, she practiced as much as her parents would allow.

However, she was confused about her sexuality. She felt attracted to boys, but she could feel her eyes wander to view women as well. At 15, she admitted to herself that she was bisexual and wasn’t afraid of that fact. However, she didn’t tell her parents, only her sister Ute. She pursued a few relationships with guys and other lesbians, but kept them a secret from everybody except Ute. She hooked up with some of her friends who formed their own band and became their drummer. She found herself quite attracted to the female lead singer; an old friend of hers named Judith, but didn’t say anything. It took some time for her to work up the courage, but eventually Sabine told Judith how she felt about her, and Judith’s reaction was one of surprise, shock, even revulsion. She was quite homophobic and her prejudices overrode the friendship they built. Judith told the other band members, attempting to kick Sabine out. She succeeded in swaying the rest of the band against her. They ordered her to leave the band, which hurt her feelings considerably. Her parents heard about what happened and they were quite angry with her because they didn’t approve of their daughter being gay. At her school, her other relationships fell apart and her friends began to reject her. Heartbroken, Sabine confided in her sister Ute and they agreed to leave their parents. Sabine left her home with naught but the small nest egg she had (which mostly got spent on beer and cigarettes), the clothes on her back and her drum sticks.

For days, the two wayward sisters lived on the streets of Thalland City, until the night they met St. John Cavanaugh, a young man who had lived on the streets most of his life. St. John befriended the Blasendorf sisters and together, they searched for a place to live. They found an old, abandoned building and thought they hit paydirt. Sabine took charge of the trio and coordinated their efforts to make the place livable. They each employed their talents to find the money. Knowing how unforgiving Thalland City was, Sabine wanted to protect herself, and to that end, she purchased a Glock and trained herself to use the weapon. In her spare time, Sabine would practice her marksmanship with her firearm or drum on garbage cans. Sabine thought her life was on the upswing.

Then one day, her friend Christina MacIntyre brought in a human to their home. The scruffy looking man called himself Bors and asked if he could stay the night. Sabine and the others allowed him one night. Although Sabine was somewhat distrustful of the human, deep down she felt a little bit of attraction, from his charisma and his rugged look. She could only wonder what had happened to the tired, worn-out looking man. The next morning, Bors revealed himself as a deity, taking everybody by surprise. All of them were skeptical at first, but after Bors showed them his myriad abilities, they believed him. He presented the ideas of his religion to them, and many of them found the rather loose set of ideas quite good. The group unanimously joined, but Sabine was most adamant about it. She disliked how many of the Ruferan religions looked down on homosexuals and felt that she finally found a belief that tolerated those like her. In addition, the religion looked favourably upon musicians, like her. Sabine’s distrust for the man diminished and she grew fond of him. Bors pursued her constantly and the two would flirt often. After a few weeks, he said goodbye and left, which left Sabine somewhat confused.

However, soon after Bors left, a demon lord named Azmodan arrived in Ruferus. His demon hordes rampaged over the land. When Azmodan laid siege to Thalland City, Sabine’s parents were among the casualties. Sabine was enraged when she found her parents were killed and rallied the group against him. Using each of their talents, the group managed to slay Azmodan and the leaderless demons retreated to their home dimension.

Two years later, Bors returned to Thalland City. Sabine told him what had happened. Bors was both impressed that they slew a demon lord, but sad to hear of the death and destruction that had gripped Ruferus. Bors rewarded the group by bestowing them the status of quasi-deities and invited them to his plane. Sabine, the only one of them to accept the invitation, was awestruck by Ossinia, becoming good friends with Bors’ daughter Pamela. Sabine expressed her desire to become one of Bors’ clerics. Bors agreed and trained her himself. During her training, Sabine got to know her god intimately, learning all about his past and his adventures. Their relationship grew to the point where they became lovers. Sabine felt honoured to be a lover to her own god, but she felt more than that as well. She loved him immensely.

Sabine eventually reached the rank of Matriarch, which is just one below Grand Matriarch of the religion, who happens to be Bors’ daughter, Pamela Fortinbras. She now had extraordinary powers and spells granted to the clerics by their god, Bors. Now that she was a master cleric of the Borsite faith, Sabine returned home to Thalland City, where her friends remained behind. Her return has brought joy to her friends.

Unfortunately, just after Sabine arrived back in Thalland City, Ruferus was once again under attack by the demonic forces. This time, however, a half-Fur, half-demon named Jared Orkney, who was the son of Azmodan and St. John’s mother, led them. This time, Sabine is ready to fight again, more powerful than she was during the last demon war…
