* AscendedExtra: In ''LightNovel/FateZero'' she was mentioned several times by Caster and only showed up once in the anime during a flashback, but here she takes a much more prominent role.
* AntiMagic: Has the highest Magic Resistance of any Servant, ranked as [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale unquantifiable at EX]].
* BarrierWarrior: Her banner, Luminosité Éternelle, can create a barrier using her Magic Resistance. [[spoiler:She uses this to block Spartacus's suicidal explosion.]]
%%* BattleBallgown
* BigGood: Her main goal is to ensure the war runs smoothly.
* BladeOnAStick: In combat she uses her standard, which is tipped with a lance point, while the banner is wrapped around it.
* BoobsOfSteel: Sports an impressive B85/W59/H86.
* BraidsOfAction: A [[RapunzelHair really long]] braid that reaches her knees.
* CombatClairvoyance: Her Revelation skill works like the Instinct skill, but also towards "reaching one's goal" like picking the right path of travel.
* EveryoneHatesMathematics: Being a farmer's daughter before she became a hero, she's never learned math and finds it frustrating to attempt to solve Laeticia's math homework that she promised to do on her adventure to Romania. Luckily, Homunculus is able to help her out.
* FlamingSword: La Pucelle.
* GrandTheftMe: Heroic example; She possesses the body of a French student named Laeticia (who gave her body willingly out of admiration and faith) to preside over the Holy Grail War. This also prevents her from assuming a spirit form and requires her to tasks such as sleeping and eating to ensure the body is in proper condition. There are measures in place that if Jeanne were to die, Laeticia would survive.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's kind, selfless, and is the BigGood.
* HiddenDepths: She's bad at mathematics. ''Really'' bad.
* IdenticalStranger: With [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]] [[spoiler:AKA [[KingArthur Arturia Pendragon]]]], to the point that ''LightNovel/FateZero'' Caster (who is Gilles de Rais, her loyal retainer) mistakes Saber for her. WordOfGod is that if ''Fate/Zero'' Berserker (who is [[spoiler:Lancelot du Lac, Arturia's greatest knight]]) were to meet her, he would mistake her for Saber. Despite there being [[MostCommonSuperpower two very obvious differences]] between Jeanne and Arturia.
* InvincibleHero: Her stats are ''absurdly high'', she's completely immune to magecraft and she has a skill equivalent to a very high rank of Eye of the Mind (True), And her banner makes her [[StoryBreakerPower pretty much immune to anything]].
* JeanneDArchetype: Goes without saying.
* JediMindTrick: As part of her Ruler skill-set, she comes off as extremely convincing to {{Muggle}}s and can convince people of the most ridiculous things, like telling a truck driver to hold for an entire day so that he would not come across [[spoiler:Karna]]'s ambush on her person.
* KryptoniteFactor: Her [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale EX-Rank]] [[AntiMagic Magic Resistance]] does not apply to [[HolyHandGrenade attacks from holy sacraments]]. Shirou Kotomine just happens to be from the part of the Holy Church with access to these things.
%%* LadyOfWar
* TheLastDance: La Pucelle. It gives her unimaginable power and holds the same rank as Excalibur, but it also symbolizes Jeanne's burning at the stake. Because of this Jeanne's life force is extinguished after the battle is over.
* LawfulGood: Her InUniverse alignment.
* LightningBruiser: According to her stats.
* LuminescentBlush: Her entire face goes pink and red after realizing that she will have to sleep in the same bed as [[TheStoic Homunculus]].
%%* MessianicArchetype
* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: At one point in the OP, she is in her civilian garb, but her reflection shows her in her armor. This doesn't happen in the actual anime.
* MsFanservice: She's basically [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Saber]], who's already fetish material for many a fan of the franchise, with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure in skin-tight clothing. The anime doesn't miss the chance to show her naked in the OP ''and'' the ED.
* NeverLearnedToRead: Having been born a simple farm girl, she never learned how to read or write, though since the Holy Grail provides her with knowledge of whatever time she's summoned into (including new languages) this isn't a problem for her.
%%* PurpleEyes
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The entire reason for the Ruler class being summoned.
* RedBaron: The Standard-Bearer Who Justly Guides the Holy Grail War.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: One of her civilian outfits looks like a suit in the front but exposes her entire back to reveal her Command Spells.
* ShipTease: With Homunculus[=/=][[spoiler:Sieg]]. Pretty much confirmed when Homunculus asks her while they are out on a date if it's possible for Servants to have kids (it's not unless they have physical bodies to inhabit, according to her) and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny she assumes that he wants to impregnate her.]]
%%* ShortHairWithTail
* SleepCute: After having dinner with Homunculus[=/=][[spoiler:Sieg]], they pass out on the same bed. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Which they both fall off of.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: For Shirou Kotomine because [[spoiler:she will be able to tell that he is a Servant and try to forcibly disqualify him from the War.]]
* TechnicalPacifist: According to legend, Jeanne has never actually killed a man in her life.
* ThereCanBeOnlyOne: [[spoiler:The reason Jeanne cannot transform into spirit form and use other abilities that every Servant has is because there is only supposed to be one Ruler, and the one from the Third War, namely UsefulNotes/AmakusaShiro AKA Shirou Kotomine, is still around.]]
* {{Tomboy}}: According to official materials. [[LightNovel/FateZero Zero Caster]]'s profile mentions that he likes tomboyish girls, which can only refer to her.
** In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' Jeanne says that as a child she was considered OneOfTheBoys.
* TooAwesomeToUse: Jeanne's La Pucelle is a powerful attack that uses the flames of her execution but after its use Jeanne dies even if she beats an opponent with it - it's basically her personal GodzillaThreshold, and it cannot be used merely to defeat a strong enemy, but in order to save something. The flipside, however, is that it annihilates ''anything'' in existence, hence its EX rank. [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice She ultimately uses it in order save humanity's future.]]]]
* UnresolvedSexualTension: With Homunculus[=/=][[spoiler:Sieg]]. He's daft as a rock and she is [[ShrinkingViolet surprisingly shy when it comes to the subject,]] though at least part of the latter is due to Laeticia's subconscious influence.
* WhoWearsShortShorts: Her set of school uniform clothes.
