Jeanne d'Arc in Fate is... weirdly accurate, in a way?

[Blacklight.]

"Breasting Boobily" is a beautiful description that makes me giggle every time

[jabezmanch]

I found it interesting that in her first few acensions she has chains wrapped around her like her depictions of her burning at the stake, but her last acension is her in pure white clothing akin to how France sees her as

[KaoKacique]

Breasting Boobily is a funny quote because Jean D'Aulon, Jeanne's IRL Squire and Bodyguard, described those in a way that's basically "she had a rocking it's not like I felt attraction to her or anything"

[joebyrnes]

Even more ironically it was a common practice during the medieval eras for young women to dress and cut their hair like men to avoid being raped during war time

"Destroying the english is, of course, a noble endeavor in any circumstances"

[didjeee]

As a french person, hearing him saying "La pucelle" was the greatest moment in my life

[miloctps]

As a Frenchman I feel obligated to mention that all of Jeanne's ultimates, both in her regular and alter version, have really bad grammar mistakes in them
That or she just screams her nickname "La pucelle" which means she's literally screaming "I'M A VIRGIN" to unleash her full power

Fun fact: Jeanne is one of the servants with an evil alternate self called an Alter. At first she just seems like a flat inversion of Jeanne, focused entirely on revenge against the English but when you get to know her more and see her regularly it becomes obvious that she's less an avatar of retribution and more a pissy, angry teenage girl with attitude problems. It's such a smart idea to make the "evil" version of a young character and just give them the personality of a moody teenager.

Idk how to feel about the original Joan of Arc. Like, on one hand, wanting to destroy England is great, but if it comes at the cost of defending the French, idk anymore.

I died XD

[jabezmanch]

I do like the fact that fate does bring awareness the fact that Jeane d arc isn't as pure as depicted by characterizing fate's version as uncomfortable whenever people sees her as only the maiden of Orleans as she still remember bloodshed she does

[BlakeFaeMorton]

Okay. But can we talk about how the design does simultaneously have long and short hair. It feels like a design element that nods to the more boyish side while also having how they are remembered as more fem.

[Never_Raines]

Joan was very definite about how she saw her self as a women, she was not Trans and did bit crossdress, she just liked pants. She signed her letters as LA Pucelle, "The Maiden" ger in femininity was important to her.

[kamikazelemming]

Now that's he's done Jeanne, I'd love to see Skyen tackle Gilles de Rais (Fate/Zero's Caster).

[MrSolomonGaming]

God help him when he gets requests for a certain, pink haired man.

[Redslayer]

The historical Joan never identified as a man, she always was a woman, it was just dangerous for her to travel dressed as woman with a military, it was also worth pointing out that armor was made for men.

[gokbay]

Another point in accuracy is her carrying a banner, rather than just giving her a sword.

[michaeldaniels]

Fun Fact: In Fate it is a canonical fact that perception of a hero can affect how they appear when summoned so the constant portrayal of Jeanne as feminine in other things would explain why her Heroic Spirit version looks the way she does.

[liquidefreet]

All of her brothers in arm knew she was a woman, and a well endowed one at that. Things becomes surnatural when all of these knights described how they never felt any lust when they were around her. All the impure thoughts seems to go away as soon as you'd get near her.
