Description

I don't think I need to write a long ass description of this Bio & background character, because I'm pretty sure that many of you already know this character either by reading/researching its history at a glance or in-depth (via English or French sources), games, cartoons, anime, memes. or movies.

So, I will only describe what I drew, I used the character Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc in English) from the FGO game and the anime series Fate (Fate/Apocrypha to be more specific) as a basis and I also used paintings from the centuries the 15th, 16th, Victorian era, to the 20th century for inspiration although the depictions are inaccurate and differ from one another according to medieval historians. However, I made it as historically accurate as possible like the Armor and Weapons used in its time (15th century) in the late Middle Ages, for armor a bit random I was inspired by French, Burgundian, and Northern Italian designs, and for weapons like Mace, Poleaxe (any bladed pole weapon), battle ax, war hammer and of course sword were standard weapons back then, though she didn't fight since that wasn't her role, she was more to moral supporter/inspirational figure and she didn't lead the army directly either, Noble like Gilles de Rais as Marshal of France who led them and Jeanne, yes if you realized it, this is the same the infamous Gilles de Rais who confessed as a serial killer of children if you are history nerd, and the same wicked looking character if you fan of Fate series or FGO players. However, for Lance it's a bit debated because of this question:

Q: Was Jeanne d'Arc a knight? because if she carried a Lance as her main weapon she was a knight, and she can ride a horse too.

A: No, Jeanne d'Arc is not a knight since she never being knighted in the first place, but rather she's something like an armored Men-at-arm, all armor parts, weapons, and equipment are donated by the French King, but she not a fighter since she has no fighting skill because to become a knight you must train your whole life since childhood and also you must be from a noble family, but later after her death, her family are granted nobility title by King of France and the state & church canonized her as a Saint. People always think that men-at-arms are foot soldiers, men-at-arms can be knights or retinue of noble for the French King, but not all knights are men-at-arm, they can be/mostly arms and well equip citizens of feudal army/retinue or mercenary well-versed in the use of arms that can be served as a foot soldier or cavalryman it means that Lance is used since there are many depictions of men-at-arms riding a horse arm with Lance, mounted or dismounted depend on role and situation. About "Riding horse", she can ride a horse many sources and eyewitnesses already pointed out, that because her peasant work/life means she already has experience with peasant workhorses...I can find a good source about when she has experience riding a horse, if you have please share in the comment.
about her role in the siege of Orleans and her death
