Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d'Arc, January 6, 1412 – May 30, 1431) was a peasant girl who rose from obscurity to lead the UsefulNotes/{{Fr|ance}}ench army to several victories during UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar, resulting in the coronation of Charles VII as [[UsefulNotes/LetatCestMoi King of France]] -- [[BadassPacifist she did not personally kill anyone]], but carried a battle standard and led the army, as well as making tactical decisions. She was born about 1412, and from the age of twelve claimed to see visions of and hear the voices of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_of_Alexandria St. Catherine of Alexandria]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel) Archangel Michael]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_the_Virgin St. Margaret of Antioch]] (one of the less understood aspects of her life -- either she was lying, or she was mentally ill in some way, or had Meniere's syndrome (which affects the inner ear) or God really was telling her to drive out the English: [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane the reader can draw their own conclusions elsewhere]]), who she said told her to drive out the English and bring Charles VII to Reims, then under English control, for his coronation in the city's cathedral.

After gaining the approval of Charles and a theological commission, working with the knight UsefulNotes/GillesDeRais, she arrived at the siege of Orleans in 1429, where at only 17 years of age she led the French to victory; contemporaries acknowledged her as the heroine of the engagement after she was wounded in the neck by an arrow but returned to lead the final charge. She led the French to several other victories, including at Reims, and was present at Charles VII's coronation. In October, Joan took Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier and was granted nobility.

However, a risky skirmish on May 23, 1430 led to her capture. Contrary to popular belief, the Duke of Burgundy, who actually held much of France under English control, was not interested in selling her for ransom. She attempted several escapes, but all failed. The Duke of Burgundy eventually sold her to the English, who wanted their king, Henry VI, to be recognized as the legitimate ruler of France; therefore Joan's victories had put a major crimp in their plans. Formal religion was still very strong during this time, and painting Joan as a heretic helped to cast aspersions on Charles VII's claim to the crown. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she was tried and convicted of heresy before a pro-English court, and forced to sign a renunciation of heresy she did not understand because she was illiterate. Heresy was a capital crime only for a repeat offense; she promised not to wear male clothing, which was considered heretical, but resumed it either as a defense against rape or, in the testimony of Jean Massieu, because her dress had been stolen and she was left with nothing else to wear.

A number of explanations have been sought for her visions and behaviour, with epilepsy, schizophrenia, and even bovine tuberculosis (from drinking unpasteurised milk) suggested and largely dismissed as possible causes as they don't line up. In the latter case, one French historian sarcastically commented that if drinking unpasteurised milk could produce such potential benefits for the nation, then the French government should stop mandating the pasteurisation of milk.

In any case, the church court rejected her supporters' explanations and abandoned her to the English. She was burned at the stake in 1431. In 1456, her conviction was posthumously reversed, and in 1920, she was declared a Catholic saint.

[[{{Irony}} There are more churches and shrines dedicated to her in England than in France]]. She also is often painted in a BattleBallgown.

Her fame also made writers base characters on her, thus the JeanneDArchetype.

For further information, see the book ''Joan of Arc: The Warrior Saint'', by Stephen W. Richey. For a famous fictional portrayal, there is Creator/GeorgeBernardShaw's play ''Theatre/SaintJoan'', which fictionalises large amounts of the story and actually seems to make an attempt to redeem her accusers. Creator/MarkTwain's impassioned ''Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc'' is considered one of the best things he ever wrote. See also Carl Theodor Dreyer's famous and critically lauded ''Film/ThePassionOfJoanOfArc'', which recreates her final days and is a seminal piece of early cinema in its own right.

----

!!Tropes as portrayed in media:

* BarefootPoverty: Sometimes depicted as such in paintings, even ones taking place during her war career, to reflect her humble upbringing.
* BattleBallgown: Portrayed with this in some illustrations, though there's no proof she wore one.[[note]]It's unclear exactly ''what'' she wore, but going by some contemporary descriptions, the suit of armor made for her was fairly similar to ones made for male knights, likely for practical reasons.[[/note]]
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy:
** ''Literature/TheSecretsOfTheImmortalNicholasFlamel'' reveal that Joan was actually rescued from her burning by Scathach the Shadow and is alive and well in Paris, now over 500 years old. This is a {{Retcon}} from a previous book that implied she did die.
** And some ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' comics imply she was the Slayer.
** Also ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' states that she was one of many Magical Girls, alongside women like Queen Cleopatra, Queen Himiko (maybe) and Anneliese "Anne" Frank. Joan would later get [[Manga/PuellaMagiTartMagica her own series]].
** In the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}, there are hints that Joan (spelled Jeanne) was being influenced by the Counter Force, and that she made a deal with Alaya to become a Counter Guardian after she died. Even if she didn't, she likely would have ascended to the Throne of Heroes anyway. She becomes one of the 2 protagonists of ''Literature/FateApocrypha'' and plays a prominent role in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''.
** Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers plays her mostly straight when France tells a young woman named Lisa in the modern day about her, but it's implied that Lisa is actually Joan reincarnated.
** ''Fanfic/ItFeelsMoreLikeAMemory'', a fanfic of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', makes her a {{Seer|s}} but otherwise keeps historical events the same, with the only notable consequence being that Britain set up a system to confirm Seers so they can identify [[MilitaryMage future threats]] like Joan.
** ''VideoGame/JeanneDArc'' casts her as a MagicalGirl of sorts who fights against the English... and their demonic allies. In this version, [[spoiler:it is not her but her best friend Liane, acting as a BodyDouble, who is burnt at the stake; Joan herself arrives too late to rescue her and has an HeroicBSOD at the horrible sight.]]
** In ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'', your Templar handler, Richard Sonnac, reveals that Joan of Arc was an early member of the Templar faction. He claims that her revealing her faction affiliation (and presumably, her powers) to the world was what resulted in her getting burned at the stake. That being said, he strongly advises (read: demands) that you keep your own faction membership and Bee-imbued powers a secret from the public, lest you meet the same fiery fate.
** In ''TabletopGame/{{Continuum}}'', Joan of Arc [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble was/is]] a [[TimeMaster spanner]], and makes up a [[MesACrowd substantial portion]] of the police force of Atlantis.
** In ''Anime/StrikeWitches: The Movie'', one of pictures showcasing Witches across history depicts Joan as being a Witch, depicting her with glowing MercurysWings and tail feathers.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'', she was one of the many holders of the titular sentient weapon.
** In ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'', she was one of the many holders of the Ladybug Miraculous. Ladybug actually gets to meet her in Season 5.
** In the AlternateUniverse ''Franchise/CodeGeass'' manga ''[[Manga/CodeGeassNightmareOfNunnally Nightmare of Nunnally]]'', it's implied that [[spoiler:C.C ''is'' Joan of Arc, is still alive and wreaking chaos as the Eternal Witch.]]
** [[invoked]] While she doesn't actually appear in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'', WordOfGod has it that she was a previous [[MissionFromGod Knight of the Cross]].
** In ''The Devils Of D-Day'' by Creator/GrahamMasterton, the demon Elmek claims that Joan really was a witch who summoned demons as she was accused of by the English, but it's [[BlackAndGrayMorality not like she was the only god-fearing person who made use of their services to fight a war]]. It's implied her execution was Joan offering ''[[HeroicSacrifice herself]]'' as the HumanSacrifice required for her DealWithTheDevil.
* BoyishShortHair: While many paintings [[LongHairIsFeminine depict her with long flowing hair]], she claimed the voices commanded her to cut her hair as well. Her trial transcript describes her as wearing her hair cut above her ears, "en-round like a young coxcomb." Modern depictions of Joan in short hair began to take root in 1909, when the Polish-born hairdresser Antoni "Antoine" Cierplikowski created cropped coiffures inspired by Joan's pageboy hairstyle. Joan's canonization in 1920 came in perfect timing when [[TwentiesBobHaircut short hairstyles]] became ubiquitous with [[TheFlapper young liberated garconnes]].
* EmissaryFromTheDivine: The legend is that Jeanne believed she had a MissionFromGod, which she fulfilled. She represented divine interests during the war.
* ExcaliburInTheRust: Her sword was found buried underneath the altar at the Church of Saint Catherine de Fierbois, and was found to have belonged to Charles Martel, who left it there as an offering after the Battle of Tours to be taken up by the next person chosen by God to save France. It was covered in rust, but a priest was able to easily wipe it away, revealing a fleur-de-lis pattern. It is often assumed she broke it by beating a CampFollower with the flat side, but at her trial she stated it was actually a sword taken off a Burgundian soldier that broke and did not reveal what happened to the sword of Saint Catherine, which is still unknown (the English wanted to avoid having a French hero's relics floating around).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: As far as the English were concerned. If it weren't for the trials no one would even know when she was born.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Japanese popular art has rather fallen in love with Jeanne, ''especially'' in the post-Cold War era. While part of this is just Japanese pop culture's love of cute girls, it also helps that Jeanne can be easily compared to several prominent women warriors in Japanese history.
* HearingVoices: Part of what makes her story so fun; her CallToAdventure was the recorded apparition of Archangel Michael and two saints, Catherine and Margaret, sending her to lead the French to victory.
* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Fictional examples not only portray her as an ActionGirl who is at the lead of her army during a charge, but often even portray her as a {{Master Swords|man}}woman of [[PintsizedPowerhouse immense physical strength enough to match a knight's physical conditioning]] and often being singlehandedly responsible for changing the tides of the [[UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar Hundred Years War]] towards France's eventual victory. [[VideoGame/JeanneDArc Some]] [[Literature/FateApocrypha fictional works]] even portray her as [[MagicKnight having magical powers.]] While nonetheless her real life counterpart had very impressive achievements, she is far from the KnightInShiningArmor propaganda and fictional works portray her as in real life. By her own words, she had never killed anyone and didn't directly command, though the noblemen that did attested to taking her advisement due to believing she was divinely inspired. (At least one modern film shows that her expertise on the English comes from simply having observed them her whole life.) She was also not the only woman to serve in the French army -- many widows joined up after their husbands were killed -- and not even the only woman to lead an army. But she was by far the youngest to do all those things.
--> Since the writing of human history began, Joan of Arc is the only person, of either sex, who has ever held supreme command of the military forces of a nation ''at the age of seventeen.'' - Creator/MarkTwain
* HistoricalBeautyUpgrade: From the historical records that saw her in person, she was described as reasonably good-looking but somewhat masculine with a short and sturdy build and short hair. (Her fellow commander Jean d'Alencon later testified that he'd happened to see her changing clothes and she had "beautiful breasts".) Most artistic depictions of her often show her as extremely feminine and beautiful to highlight her angelic nature. It's also not uncommon for her [[AdaptationDyeJob to be portrayed]] as a [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde]] or [[FieryRedhead redhead]] instead of a brunette.
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Retellings of her story tend to leave out less than savory behavior by modern standards that Joan accepted or abided by, including threatening enemy garrisons with massacre if they didn't surrender, though this was generally standard procedure for sieges at the time. For instance, the [[https://www.gutenberg.org/files/19488/19488-h/19488-h.htm#CHAPTER_XV siege of Jargeau]] (one of her first battles) ended with most of the English force killed instead of taken prisoner, except for the nobles who were taken for ransom (though the English ''had'' in this case opened negotiations which were halted by Joan's superior the Duke of Alençon). The Luc Besson film ''The Messenger'' portrays her as aghast at seeing the aftermath of such a siege, realizing what she has helped bring about (and also having a vision of a bloody Christ upbraiding her). It is also rare to see modern depictions of her chasing out her soldiers' {{Camp Follower}}s i.e. prostitutes on grounds of being sinful women who led the men to sin. This is because more pragmatic modern views are invariably sympathetic towards those "working girls" who do what they can to get by.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: In ''Theatre/HenryVIPart1'', where her voices are made more demonic in nature, her virginity is hinted to be a lie, and even some of the French distrust her. To be expected of a ThemeParkVersion of the English perspective of the Hundred Years' War. Years later, another British dramatist, George Bernard Shaw, wrote ''Theatre/SaintJoan'' which went a long way to rub away centuries of anti-Joan English propaganda.
* JeanneDArchetype: TropeMaker, TropeCodifier and TropeNamer.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Joan is sort of a female example. She is usually portrayed in full plate armor when not in a BattleBallgown. At her rehabilitation trial it was testified that she had undecorated "white" field plate armour custom-made for her (which explains why her only serious injuries came from state-of-the-art crossbow bolts), but later in her career she may have merely worn leather or padded armour like most soldiers. She also had a chain mail overshirt, a long tabard and (rarely depicted) a big hat.
* LadyOfWar: One of the common depictions of her, though there's no proof of it.
* MissionFromGod: Joan said {{God}} called her to lead France to victory against England.
* OnlyOneName: Her signature was just her personal name and there is no record of her using "d'Arc" herself. Surnames were also not universally used at the time, and it was the local custom in her region for girls to use their mothers' surname (as she said herself at her trial). Her mother was known both as Isabelle Romée and Isabelle de Vouthon, while "d'Arc" comes from her father Jacques. She did however refer to herself as [[TheMagnificent "La Pucelle" ("The Maiden").]]
* ShroudedInMyth: Even before she died, her name had become legend. In the centuries that followed, she would come to be associated with various ideologies and causes, in time becoming intertwined with the French nation.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS:
** The modern French spelling of her name is Jeanne, and is pronounced like "Jah-ne"; "Joan" is an Anglicization. Works in the modern era, especially ones not originating in English, have tended to preserve the French spelling and pronunciation out of respect, though some still go for Joan. Her name was the one word she could write, and she spelled it "Jehanne".
** "d'Arc" is a later approximation of her father's surname, spelled "Darc" in contemporary records and assumed to be short for "de Arc" (of Arc), as contractions and apostrophes weren't used in surnames at the time. Thus she did not come from a place called "Arc", but rather from Domrémy. Even "Darc" itself is uncertain, as other records spell her father's surname in various other ways like "Darx", "Dart", "Tarc" or "Tart".
** Her banner bore the names of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, spelled as "Jhesus Maria" (or "Ihesus Maria", since her trial records are in Latin).
* TakeAThirdOption: During her trial, she was asked point-blank "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Joan_of_Arc#Third_session:_Saturday,_February_24,_1431 Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace]]?" Answering "Yes" would confirm a charge of heresy, as she would be tacitly claiming to know the mind of God, while saying "No" would allow the prosecutor to proclaim that she must know that she is sinful. Her reply was later used in her canonization as a Saint.
-->'''Joan:''' If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not in His grace.
* ThouShaltNotKill: She refused to break this commandment, and typically acted as the standard bearer. Since the standard bearer is the most visible and most tempting target a given army can have, it's entirely possible this was a WoundedGazelleWarcry to motivate her forces.
* WorthyOpponent: A grudging sense of this might be why there's so many churches dedicated to her in England (more than in France).

She receives visions from time to time and her main Noble Phantasm is Luminosité Eternelle: God is Here With Me, the flag she carried in battle, which can create a defensive barrier of holy light based on her faith. She also has La Pucelle: The Crimson Saint, which imbues her sword with the flames from when she was burned at the stake, but [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique using it will kill her]].
** In ''Grand Order'', Gilles de Rais creates a copy of her as an Avenger Servant called Jeanne Alter, nicknamed Jalter, who has dark magical powers and is filled with a seething hatred for being burned at the stake, unlike the real Jeanne who holds no grudge. One of her first actions on screen is to capture Pierre Cauchon, the bishop who had Jeanne executed, and incinerate him. As the Dragon Witch, she has command over an army of dragons and her Noble Phantasm is La Grondement Du Haine: Roar, O' Rage of Mine, which allows her to summon burning stakes similar to the one she was killed on to impale her enemies. She has a TomatoInTheMirror moment when she realizes Gilles created her and she is not actually Jeanne, but the original Jeanne regards her as a sister.
** In ''Grand Order'', Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily is a Lancer child version of Jalter. Since there is no record of her in history and she has no connection to the original Jeanne's legend, she is at risk of disappearing in a PuffOfLogic. The heroes save her by bringing her to the ocean, as the original Jeanne had a dream of seeing the ocean before she died which went unfulfilled in her original life. Her seeing the ocean gives her a connection to the original Jeanne and allows her to exist. She has a Christmas theme and her Noble Phantasm is La Grâce Fille Noël: Sing Elegantly, About Said Holy Birth, which bombards her enemies with presents while strenghtening her and her allies.
** In ''Grand Order'', Jalter can become a Berserker who wears a swimsuit, wields katanas, and is obsessed with drawing manga and being cooler than the original Jeanne. Her Noble Phantasm is Völkermord Feuerdrache: Incinerated Heaven's Law - Dragon of Extermination, which allows her to form black flames into a dragon.
** In ''Grand Order'', the original Jeanne can become an Archer who wears a swimsuit and has a dolphin trainer gimmick, based on both her dream of seeing the ocean and because Jeanne came to the aid of the Dauphin or crown prince of France, which led to his becoming King. "Dauphin" is French for "heir apparent", but it also means "dolphin". In this form, she reveals that she is lonely because none of her siblings are remembered by history and did not become Heroic Spirits, which is why she latches onto Jalter and Santa Lily as siblings. Her Noble Phantasm is Des Océans d'Allégresse: O Fruitful Ocean, with Great Happiness, which allows her to convert the battlefield to the ocean and summon whales and dolphins to attack the opponent.
