Jeanne d'Arc was a French peasant girl that became a national hero and later patron saint of France for her rule in the Hundred Years' War against the Kingdom of England.

Bio[edit | edit source]

France, 1428. The Hundred Year's War over English claims to the French throne has just entered its 91st year. The country is devastated. But amidst nearly a century of nigh-constant warfare, there emerges a single peasant girl, Jeanne. Who, claiming divine inspiration by the likes of the archangel Michael, insists on being brought to the dauphin Charles VII - that he may be crowned king of France, and drive the English and their allies out of France.

Through her religious devotion (and, let's be real, Jeanne probably being schizo as fuck), this girl became a rallying icon that turned the tide of war against the English. At least until her attempt to relieve Compiégne from a Burgundian siege got her captured, handed over to the English, and then burned at the stake as a heretic in a 1431. It was a bullshit trial, everyone knew it was a bullshit trial, and Jeanne was rehabilitated by the Catholic church in 1456.

Understandably revered by the French since the day of her martyrdom, it still took some 464 years - and France limping out of World War I - for then-incumbent Pope Benedict XV to canonize her as a saint, and another 79 years until she got her own campaign in Age of Empires II.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

During the course of 8chanmania XCV, the spirit of Jeanne of Arc was summoned into and bound to the Gundam Rose by Claude Frollo. Suffice it to say she did not like it, but her furiously mashing various buttons in the cockpit of the mecha somehow sufficed to do in Brauggi. Even better, her button spam lead to the defeat of both Yellow Devil and Clown; while her victory over Madara Uchiha came with the nice bonus of him getting rid of Frollo. Her final victory over the SS13 Janitor lead to her (and /m/) winning their first belt.

As one of the mania's champions, she (and the Gundam Rose she still was stuck in) got their ticket to the grand finals of 8chanmania XCIX. Jeanne taught Evolver not to call the French "Surrender Monkeys" again, forced Alis Landale to pick up an office job at SEGA, and (however reluctantly) sent Matthew Stevens into the light. It took the mountain-like strength of La Madremonte to finally stop her rampage.

Alone, and still stuck in a now-disabled mecha, a horribly confused Jeanne sent an emergency prayer to God. The latter, perhaps feeling guilty over having looked the other way, promptly whisked her back to the fourteenth century, where an overjoyed Jeanne could lead the French once more. Until the Britbongs burned her at the stake. Again.
