The most famous female saint in the world. Between departing from her home town at 17 years-old and being sentenced to the stake at 19 years-old, she carved her name on history in mere two years. The female saint that saved France; after accomplishing a military advance that could be very well be described as miracle, she was scorned and met a tragic end. Even after being captured, Jeanne kept making miracles. It has been said that a farm girl - who shouldn't know nothing but the Bible and a few words of prayer - aptly maintained an argument with a first-class theologian on equal terms, making difficult to punish her as a heretic. A certain soldier that declared "I would gladly burn a witch like Jeanne D'Arc" witnessed a white dove flying away after she was burned. It has been said that he then deeply regretted for having killed a true female saint.

Among the criteria for a Servant/Heroic Spirit to be summoned in the Ruler-class would be possessing no desire for the Holy Grail. The Ruler-class Servants are given Command Spells for the other Servants.
Story-wise, the class itself only existed within the universe of ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha''.

!!Shared Tropes
Tropes which apply to most members of the class besides the exceptions should go here.
* PowerCreep: Especially in the earlier days of the game, a Ruler-class unit is both a powerful Servant to have and a difficult boss to face due to its widespread resistance. The debut of the Avenger class (which resists it and is stronger against it) and the growing strength of newly-released Servants hasn't helped the class exactly catch up.
* RareRandomDrop: There is really only one readily-available Ruler Servants (Joan of Arc): the rest have so far been event-exclusive.
* StoneWall: By virtue of their multiple resistances, this is usually their designated function. The other Rulers with offensive Noble Phantasms, while useful, don't exactly have any advantages over the other Servants
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: The Ruler class is expected to resist almost all of the classes (Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin) and deal neutral damage to all.. They only receive neutral damage from Shielder and fall weak to Berserkers and Avengers.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stshjyv_crop.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Maid of Orleans]]
->'''Character Design''': Takashi Takeuchi
->'''CV''': Creator/MaayaSakamoto
->'''First Appearance''': Fate/Apocrypha
->'''Rarity''': SSR/5*
->'''Alignment''': LawfulGood
The most famous female saint in the world. Between departing from her home town at 17 years-old and being sentenced to the stake at 19 years-old, she carved her name on history in mere two years. The female saint that saved France; after accomplishing a military advance that could be very well be described as miracle, she was scorned and met a tragic end. Even after being captured, Jeanne kept making miracles. It has been said that a farm girl - who shouldn't know nothing but the Bible and a few words of prayer - aptly maintained an argument with a first-class theologian on equal terms, making difficult to punish her as a heretic. A certain soldier that declared "I would gladly burn a witch like Jeanne D'Arc" witnessed a white dove flying away after she was burned. It has been said that he then deeply regretted for having killed a true female saint.
She is a main character of Fate/Apocrypha, and was the first character summoned under the special Ruler class. She's also the main ally during the France chapter.
* AntiMagic: Has the highest Magic Resistance of any Servant, ranked as [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale unquantifiable at EX]]. She can't even be touched by magic, even if it's regenerative. However the Baptismal Rites bypass her resistance.
* BarrierWarrior: Her banner, Luminosité Éternelle, can create a barrier using her Magic Resistance.
%%* BattleBallgown
* BigGood: Of the Orleans chapter.
* BladeOnAStick: Her banner functions as a spear, even if she's not really stabbing the enemy with it.
* BoobsOfSteel: Sports an impressive B85/W59/H86. Nasu jokes that the main difference between Jeanne and Artoria is sex appeal.
* BraidsOfAction: She gets rid of them upon her third stage.
* CombatClairvoyance: Her Revelation skill works like the Instinct skill, but also towards "reaching one's goal" like picking the right path of travel.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Her ''My Room'' dialogue reveals that while she is willing to work with former enemy servants from Fate/Apocrypha such as Shirou and Atalanta, she [[ThisIsUnforgivable still holds a grudge against]] Shakespeare because of how he used his [[RewritingReality Noble Phantasm]] [[MindRape on her]].
* FlamingSword: La Pucelle.
* GuestStarPartyMember: During the Medieval France segment of the game.
%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold
* HiddenDepths: She's bad at mathematics. ''Really'' bad.
* IdenticalStranger:
** With [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Artoria]] AKA [[Myth/KingArthur King Arthur Pendragon]], to the point that in ''LightNovel/FateZero'' Gilles de Rais, her loyal retainer, mistakes Saber for her.
** There's actually a hidden attribute in the game called Saberface which applies to all Servants based on Artoria. Gilles de Rais, Caligula and Lancelot are all programmed in-game to go after anyone with this attribute and have a stacking list of priorities based on which Saberface they're obsessed with.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: It is said that she's so holy, any attempt to copy her is fated to fail because the copy is notably a downgrade to her true martyr spirit. Jeanne Alter is the result of such attempt, and her personality is so horribly mangled compared to the real Jeanne. Dantes attempts to provoke her the old fashioned way, and that too fails because Jeanne is just too nice to be angered.
* JeanneDArchetype: TropeMaker, TropeCodifier and TropeNamer.
%%* KnightInShiningArmor: Female version.
%%* LadyOfWar
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Unlike other Star attribute Servants, she's weak to Enuma Elish. This is probably for gameplay purposes to balance out her StoneWall nature.
* MythologyGag: She has a comment for almost all characters from Fate/Apocrypha that are currently in the game and characters related to her which were added from the March 8 update.
** She comments on Siegfried that although she doesn't really know him, she [[ShipTease can feel a special connection to him.]]
*** Prior to the update, she called Siegfried, [[spoiler: Sieg-kun, aka the homunculus Sieg]].
** She also comments on Atalanta, Shakespeare, and Shirou: all her enemies from the Red Faction.
** For Gilles, she is sad seeing what become of Caster!Gilles and reassured Saber!Gilles that she will always be there to pokes at his eyes, referencing the "Einzbern Consultation Room OVA".
** In Medea Lily's Interlude, she and Astolfo continue their rivalry from the "Capsule Servant" minigame.
** Her host body from Fate/Apocrypha, Laeticia, appears in the Craft Essence "Vessel of the Saint".
* RapunzelHair: For her third and final ascension.
* RedBaron: The Maid of Orleans. Or The Standard-Bearer who Correctly Guides the Holy Grail War.
* StoneWall: She has the highest HP of any Servant and the Ruler class that halves all incoming damage from every standard class (except for Berserker), and a Noble Phantasm that grants her entire team invulnerability for one turn (an excellent counter for enemy Noble Phantasms). On the other hand, she has the lowest ATK of all 5-star Servants, has only one Buster card, and doesn't deal any direct damage with her Noble Phantasm.
* ThouShaltNotKill: Actually ''never'' kills in battle, even in the Hundred Years War. She is only a standard-bearer, after all.
* TooAwesomeToUse: Her second Noble Phantasm, La Pucelle, is not appearing in this game. The reason? This sword can reset any Holy Grail War with her sacrifice.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ashirou4.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The Youth Saint]]
->'''Character Design''': Ototsugu Konoe
->'''CV''': Creator/KoukiUchiyama
->'''First Appearance''': Fate/Apocrypha (as Shirou Kotomine)
->'''Rarity''': SSR/5*
->'''Alignment''': LawfulGood
A JapaneseChristian that led the [[UsefulNotes/AmakusaShiro Shimabara Rebellion]]. Born in the Edo period, he was a boy of miracles who could nearly be called a saint. However, how exactly he was discovered, no one knows; a good half of his lifetime is wrapped in mystery. He, who concentrated on his studies since childhood, began to perform many miracles at the frontier. Having healed wounds and walked on water, he eventually began to be enthusiastically worshiped as the son of God by the peasants that believed in a prohibited religion.
He first appears as Shirou Kotomine, a Master in Fate/Apocrypha and then become the main antagonist, later revealed to have been summoned as another Ruler-class Servant.
* AffablyEvil: He is lighthearted and friendly, but absolutely ruthless.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Fate/Apocrypha material mentions that he got the tan from twenty years of digging around Iraq for Semiramis' catalyst, but it's also revealed in the same book that his stage 3 form was his original body that he was summoned in for the Third Holy Grail War.
* AnimeHair: He has rather spiky for Stages 1-2. He loses it by Stage 3 when he takes on his true Servant form.
* BadassCape: From Stage 2 and onwards.
* BadassPreacher: An apocryphal Saint who kicks ass in the name of The Lord, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
%%* {{Bishonen}}
* CaptainErsatz: Many people have joked that his spiky hair and brown skin is somewhat akin to [[Anime/YuGiOh Yami Marik]]'s.
* CoveredInScars: Beneath those priest robes, as seen in Fate/Apocrpyha vol 4's illustration.
* CreepyCoolCrosses: He wears a standard crucifix in his first Ascensions, but then gets them on his red tunic as of the the 3rd one.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: He's an apocryphal Catholic saint and he wants to bring salvation to mankind, but he's a much worse person than the historical figure he's based on.
* HolyHandGrenade: His Baptismal Sacrament Skill, which only works on undead and demons.
* JapaneseChristian: Perhaps the single most famous example of one.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: From Stage 2 on, he switches his Black Keys for a katana.
%%* MysticalWhiteHair
* MythologyGag:
** He comments on Jeanne in My Room.
** On stage 2-3, he uses a katana. It's like the one from Apocrypha, where Shakespeare enchants a katana for him to be of equal strength to a C-rank Noble Phantasm.
* PatronSaint: Of all Japanese Catholics, even though he's still not regarded as such by the Church.
* RedemptionDemotion: Since he doesn't have access to all the upgrades from Fate/Apocrypha, he's much closer to his normal strength. In-game, he's a lot tougher as a boss then as a playable character since all the advantages that worked in favor of him as a solo boss[[note]]Having no class advantages, his skills which are situational, and his balanced stats[[/note]] aren't really applicable to him as a playable Servant.
* {{Samurai}}: For Stages 3-4, he assumes his proper appearance which has him dress in Samurai clothes with a few Western touches (Most notably a cravat).
* SamuraiPonytail: To complete the {{Samurai}} look for Stages 3-4, he trades his AnimeHair for a pony tail.
* TeenGenius: He died at the ripe age of seventeen, but still had the merit and strength to become a Heroic Spirit.
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Very skilled in the use of Black Keys. His Quick attack animation use this.
* UnrealisticBlackHole: His Noble Phantasm, Twin Arm - Big Crunch, combines the magical energy gathered by the two Noble Phantasms in his hands, Left Hand - Xanadu Matrix and Right Hand - Evil Eater, and unleashes a miniature black hole on his foes.
* WalkingSpoiler: His identity and motives are the biggest twist of Fate/Apocrypha.

An alternate version of St. Martha that appears in the Summer Festival event. Her class is Ruler.
* BareFistedMonk: After being talked about in her Interludes and events, she finally uses her fists to punch the shit out of her enemies.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: This version confirms one thing: Martha does not have any martial arts training, just a lot of guts and a nasty right hook. Her fighting stance is even the classic "putting your dukes up" pose seen in the page image.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: See below.
* ShoutOut: Her NP is essentially [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]'s infamous combo, with Tarrasque as the '''ROAD ROLLA DA'''.
