Hi everyone!
So, continuing with looking at Joan of Arc, I decided to look at various media adaptations of her, and one in particular stood out to me; Jeanné d’Arc (Ruler) from the anime series “Fate/Apocrypha“.
In the series, she’s modelled on her actual historcial deeds, but her design is a little different to her historical appearance, due to her possessing a living human who looks like this.
I’m thinking of using this version of Jeanné as the basis for my design, as the styles I’m looking at are heavily based in the manga style. She also looks like a total badass!
Ability-wise, in Fate/Apocrypha, Jeanné has two distinct abilities; Luminosite Eternele, and La Pucelle. Luminosite Eternele (Eternal Radiance in French) uses the banner of Orleans to protect herself and allies from any attack. La Pucelle on the other hand is a powerful, but double-edged attack. She used the sword of St. Catherine to burn away all she believes must be eliminated. The cost however, is usually her life.
Visually, I want to use the look of flowing blonde hair, as it gives me an idea based on my experience of playing Dungeons and Dragons; that my protagonist is in fact an “Aasimar“. An Aasimar is a human with angelic blood, giving them inborn divine-based abilities. Seems like a good fit, doesn’t it?
Anyways, I’m gonna head off now, so I’ll see you later!
