Background / History

Jeanne is the reborn heroic spirit associated with Joan of Arc. Legends identify her as the saintess betrayed by the Burgundians and burned by the English, though she rejects being defined by the Church's idealized image of her. She recalls her mortal life, the French campaign, and her companionship with Prince Charles, whom she nicknamed “Little Flag.” 121 151 154

Before serving Lothar, Jeanne spent centuries as the Holy Church’s foremost hunter of dark creatures. As Grand Commander of its Knightly Order, she killed innumerable werewolves, demons, and other threats, becoming a name feared throughout the dark world. 285 357 755

Lothar summons her as a six-star retainer. She immediately enters his service, inspects his forces, and expresses interest in commanding the Winged Hussars. 121 122 Her early campaigns establish her as both a superior duelist and a gifted commander, particularly during the defense of Arendelle. 124 185 186

Appearance

Jeanne is a slender yet formidable knight with long golden curls, a rough voice, and an open, cheerful demeanor. She usually carries the deep-red, weathered-looking Holy Lance, whose rusty point conceals an intense sharpness. 121

• Long, curly golden hair. 121
• Silver-white knight armor, often marked with golden divine patterns when channeling Holy Radiance. 137 285
• Frequently wears full plate armor, a gray cloak, and later black dragon-scale armor. 196 230
• Her Divine Body manifests golden wings, sacred flames, and an angelic appearance. 362 439
• Rides an Akhal-Teke horse named Grape. 123

Personality

Jeanne is direct, sociable, and openly proud of her abilities. She is far less reverent than her saintly reputation suggests: she disregards dogma, enjoys wine, admires beautiful women, and habitually teases Lothar and her companions. 121 151 159

Her lighthearted behavior does not extend to command or justice. In battle, she is decisive, demanding, and willing to take responsibility for difficult choices. She rejects tactics that abandon civilians, insists that armies must adapt rather than cling to inherited doctrines, and can be sternly focused when confronting evil. 230 268 362

Jeanne has grown weary from centuries spent acting as a righteous champion against darkness. Nevertheless, she remains committed to protecting others and confronting oppression, even when doing so forces her to question conventional ideas of holiness and justice. 510 571 755
