Character Name: Jeanne "Jeannette" d'Arc Canon: Symphogear XDU ("but mari, i've seen symphogear and i don't remember joan of arc being in it!" "that's because she was only in the mobile game as a side character madly in love with saint-germain; you can read her entire event story, which is basically F/GO Orleans But Make It Explicitly Lesbians, here!" "why thank you, mari! is that why you've spent most of 2023 yelling joan of arc trivia on plurk?" "no comment")
About: Take Joan of Arc - bold, naive, a little sassy, highly religious, but quick to make decisions and selflessly do what she thinks is right. Make her a Pure Anime Girl who Loves Her Hometown and is Always Thinking Of Everyone. Give her an enormous blazing crush on a broody antiheroine who monologues about Revolution but has a soft spot for sweet idealists. There you go.
I'm presuming this world's history had something different happen in the Hundred Years' War so there isn't a historical Joan of Arc....Jeannette is from France and became a Dreamer after her life was saved by a Dreamer she calls ~her angel~. From there I'm torn between whether:
1) her "angel" is the same person it was in canon, but offscreen, or whether a PC should fill this role (see below) 2) she's a novice Dreamer or ready to be a mentor (on the one hand, her motivation is wanting to be her "angel's squire"; on the other, Jeanne d'Arc was a leady and inspiry person, and Jeannette is college-aged) 3) which of the archetypes to make her! I'm leaning towards Saver but she's like the only Jeannime d'Arc whose signature weapon is a sword instead of a flag so I'd like to keep that, and she ALSO historically had a habit of leading the charge even if she wasn't doing most of the hack and slashing......I might decide based on what we need the most to round out the cast.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: Jeannette has just moved here from rural France and I'm intending to do a bunch of mirai zura country bumpkin jokes with her as a result. I might have her sign up to be a Dreamer as her job, since she was a professional soldier historically and is the type of person who wants to Help as much as she can. Lots of her plans hinge on whether I get a volunteer for pre-existing "Angel" CR.
Desired CR/AU Castmates: DOES ANYONE WANT TO BE JEANNETTE'S "ANGEL"/LOVE INTEREST? Requirements:
- Would have had a reason to be in rural France 7 years pre-canon - Be a cool adult mentor-type woman
Beyond that I'm open to developing things based on how they'd go between your character and someone who hero-worships her enough to want to spend her entire life paying your character back. (I personally would love it if Jeannette's feelings were reciprocated but "notice me, Senpai" is wonderful too.) Give me a pitch and maybe we can try some sample threads, see if they click, because you're basically signing up to have Jeannette be over the moon for your lady and I want it to be fun for both of us.
I also think it would be hysterical if we got more anime Joans of Arc and they were all related. Like the extended d'Arc family can't stop naming their girls Jeanne. Half the population of Domremy is girls named Jeanne d'Arc. Fates and Jalters I am LOOKING INTENSELY AT YOU.
Anything Else?: Symphogear XDU is a game you can play, with graphics.
