Description

Probably the most elaborate one yet o.o

Obviously, I'm following suit with the painters and artists before me who took creative liberties with Jeanne here, as she would not have worn a skirt of any kind on the battlefield. Much of this comes from her most famous portrayal, even appearing on her blessed medal. There was another painting that gave her that pretty laurel crown as well, so I just had to add it ^^ Jeanne has apparently gone on record to say she favored her banner over her sword "forty times", as she's a bit of a tenderhearted sort (if feisty and brave); a spear would offer her some distance from the violence a sword wouldn't offer.

And of course, a blue iris for faith, hope, loyalty, and France :heart:

PS: the amount of detail/contrast in this didn't match well enough with the others in this series, so I toned it down a bit ^^;
