Jehanne - the Maid of Orléans
|
If i could have a idiot and personal hero that was a French religious warrior, this is it! I do hold her in great respect.
As you can see, she wrote her name only as 'Jehanne'. Often she is known as Jeanne d'Arc (her fathers surname). The English nicknamed her Joan of Arc.
While she refused to sit for a portrait, there are rumors that one was done, yet it doesn't survive, so all images are peoples ideas of her. Though they try to make her look more female and good looking.. However, she was described as a Short, sturdy peasant woman with black hair, in a short-cropped, almost pudding bowl, style. Brown eyes with dark sun tanned skin. Her original uniform (what was worn at the Battle of Orléans was all donated to her from others. So i have done my best.. don't ask about the legs.. no clue what went wrong...
Some accounts say she had different Armour, more chain mail and less plate, with a custom banner and shield, but i know at first, NOTHING of hers was custom.
