Jeanne d'Arc, also known as the Maiden of Orleans and Ruler, is a major character in the Japanese science fantasy franchise Fate.
Jeanne was born as the daughter of two peasants in the small French rural village Domrémy. When she was a teenager, Jeanne claimed to have received a command from God Himself to fight for the improvement of mankind. In response to this request, Jeanne threw away her life as a simple peasant to fight in God's name. She resolved to fight despite knowing she would be ostracized by the masses for discarding contemporary Catholic beliefs and fighting as a woman in man's world. Despite being a modest village girl, Jeanne didn't hesitate to jump into the heat of the Hundred Years War with her sword and flag. She captured the hearts of many, including the Knight Gilles de Rais, who became her closest companion. After recapturing the city of Orleans, Jeanne and Gilles were both heralded as national treasures by King Charles VII of France.
Eventually, Jeanne was put to death for heresy by her enemies. The crowds of people gathered at her execution hurled words of damnation at Jeanne, although she didn't mind their cruel words. As she burned to death, Jeanne expressed no regrets in her actions, believing all was part of God's plan. The death of Jeanne drove Gilles mad; he eventually began murdering children in an attempt to prove that God had abandoned humanity. Eventually, the Catholic church canonized Jeanne as Saint Joan of Arc. After her death, Jeanne became a Heroic Spirit immortalized by the Throne of Heroes. Subsequently, a specter of Jeanne could now be summoned as a warrior servant by a mage through a special ritual.
She is voiced by Maaya Sakamoto in the Japanese version of the anime and by Erika Harlacher in the English version, the latter of which also voices Elizabeth Liones in Seven Deadly Sins, Shinobu Kocho in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Violet Evergarden in the show of the same name, and Kurapika in Hunter x Hunter.
Appearance[]
Jeanne had beautiful amethyst-colored eyes that were described as completely pure. Her straw-blond hair was incredibly long, reaching down to her waist, which was tied into a braid with a blue ribbon at the end. While her looks were not as perfectly manufactured as Sieg's or as cute as Astolfo's, she was described as possessing a beauty that seemed otherworldly. Although she has been mistaken as Artoria Pendragon, Jeanne apparently has more sex appeal then the King of Knights.
As part of the Great Holy Grail War, Jeanne briefly possessed the body of a French girl named Laeticia. Physically speaking, Jeanne was nearly identical to Laeticia in every way, with the exception of her bust size which was slightly less pronounced then her host body's. During the Grail War, Jeanne was affixed with command seals printed on her back pertaining to each individual servant active in the War.
While in Laeticia's body, Jeanne usually wore a suit of sorts in casual scenarios. This suit consisted of a white t-shirt, a short blue tie, short blue shorts, blue leggings, brown shoes and a blue blazer with a silver trim. While in battle, Jeanne was capable of materializing the battle-dress she wore in life on her person. During the Grail War she was always seen carrying her personal banner into battle.
Personality[]
Jeanne upheld absolute faith in God, regardless of any misfortune that befell her or her comrades. She believed that giving prayer unto God and expressing his will was the sole reason she was born.
Jeanne never displayed any personal desire for the Greater Grail. When it came to the Great Holy Grail War, Ruler only cared that honorable conduct was employed between the combatants. As long as it didn't bring harm upon the world, Jeanne chose to respect any wish asked by a person, regardless of whether it was selfish or not.
Despite being ostracized, demonized, and put to death by the people she was trying to protect, Jeanne felt no ill will to those who betrayed her. Furthermore, she held no regrets about her life and did not wished she was saved from her cruel fate.
Quotes[]
“ | A world in which every child is loved, and given affection. At face value your wish is not a mistake whatsoever... and yet to achieve that wish you are willing to condone any form of evil. For you to go about it that way is unacceptable! | „ |
~ Jeanne condones Atalanta for her actions. |
“ | Your actions are based on a lack of confidence in humanity. All humans fight against their inner evil. It is an endless battle, but they continue on no matter how many times they may lose. It is our job as the dead, as servants, to lend our power to those who are now alive, anything beyond that is off limits. A human's agony concerning evil, their sadness, and their fight against anger. Instead of aiding them your absurd idea of salvation does nothing but diminish their hardships. So as I said, I can not acknowledge your salvation. | „ |
~ Jeanne explaining the flaws in Shirou Amakusa's ideals. |
“ | Gilles: If his salvation is not realized, I can not atone for my sins! Which means the innocent children I murdered will never find peace in the afterlife. Tell me what am I to do? Jeanne: Do not be fooled, you can not receive atonement from the salvation that he speaks of... you see, for victims that have long been dead there is no way for one to truly atone. Not for you, and not for me either. Gilles: Is that true? I will not be forgiven for my crimes for all eternity? Jeanne: The Lord pardons all who seek it but those you have murdered will never forgive you for taking their lives. You must harbor that hatred for yourself while still protecting the living as a Heroic Spirit. |
„ |
~ Jeanne convincing Gilles de Rais that Amakusa's salvation is wrong. |
“ | The heavens tell of God's glory. The skies proclaim His handiwork. Speech is poured forth during the day and knowledge during the night. A fire has ignited within my heart and continuously burns to remind me. This is where I meet my end. My destiny has run its course. My life's dream has reached its conclusion. Utilizing the last thing I have at my disposal, I fight to protect the path He must walk. Lord, accept my sacrifice. [..] La Pucelle!! | „ |
~ The incantation of Jeanne's suicidal Noble Phantasm - La Pucelle. |
“ | Truthfully, I was afraid. Not of dying though, it was the separation that scared me. I had never had such feelings before, but it is not something I mind. For the future of mankind, for your future. To protect such things, I am willing to risk my life as many times as needed. | „ |
~ Jeanne's thoughts whilst using La Pucelle. |
“ | Sieg: Don't die! You can't die now... Jeanne: Forgive me Sieg. Sieg: Ruler!! Jeanne: It is alright, no matter how long it may take to accomplish, I will make sure that we will meet again someday... Sieg: Okay... I'll be waiting. |
„ |
~ Jeanne's dying words with Sieg after using La Pucelle. |
“ | It was a pilgrimage to a place far far away, a voyage that was similar to a curse. The sanctuary of beasts that managed to escape the world of man. Another Heaven and Earth, covered by a cloth called humanity. A distant promise made long ago, one that neither of us could ever forget. The whole time I held that promise close to my heart and continued to move forward. This is where he slumbers, the gentle dragon that took immortality from mankind. | „ |
~ Jeanne describes her journey to meet Sieg again. |
“ | Jeanne: Please awaken now. Sieg I will never leave your side ever again. Sieg: Your journey, was it long? Jeanne: It was nothing compared to yours. Sieg: We should get going then. I mean we may as well right? There's nothing stopping us. Jeanne: Yes you're right. After all a brand new world is out there just waiting for you. However, before that I must tell you something very important. I want you to know, I am in love with you... |
„ |
~ Jeanne confessing her feelings to Sieg at the end of Fate/Apocrypha. |
