* [[Lady of War|Lady Oscar]] from ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' has shades of this.
* In the wider ''[[Digimon]]'' canon, [http://wikimon.net/Darcmon Darcmon] is an [[Our Angels Are Different|angel]] [[Mon]] specifically based on Jeanne. Her appearance in the film ''[[Digimon Frontier]]: Revival of the Ancient Digimon'', however, is a subversion: {{spoiler|Darcmon is one of the disguises used by the villain, [[Demon Lords and Archdevils|Murmukusmon]]}}.

Line 45:
== Literature ==
* D'joan/Joan in the [[Cordwainer Smith]] story ''The Dead Lady of Clown Town,'' although she's more of a nonviolent revolutionary with religious overtones than a warrior.
* Saint Sabbat in the [[
* "Wazzer" in ''[[Discworld
* Paks from ''[[The Deed of Paksenarrion]]'' has aspects of this.
* Mina of the ''[[Dragonlance]] War of Souls'' trilogy is a subversion -- she's very much the traditional image of Joan (teenage girl who is nonethless a deadly warrior and an incredibly inspiring leader on a mission from God), except that the voice she hears is actually that of [[Hijacked
** Laurana in the original ''Chronicles'' trilogy fits the trope very well. She never intended to be a leader, but after being incomparably badass at the High Clerist's Tower she found herself in command of the Knights of Solamnia and the armies of Palanthas.
* In the ''[[Belgariad]]'', Princess CeNedra takes up the role of figurehead for the army of her husband while he's off fulfilling prophesies and such, mostly to make a lot of noise and distract the bad guys. She may not actually BE the [[Jeanne D Archetype]], but she presents herself as this to her army, and plays the role to the hilt. She even goes so far as to have gold armor made (too thin to actually be protective, so she can actually move with it on) which... exaggerates her pettanko frame, to the gripes of the armorsmith tasked with making it.
Line 64:
== Tabletop Games ==
* The Sisters of Battle of ''[[Warhammer
* Several characters in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game]]'' are based off of Jeanne D'Arc either in name or appearance, most notably St. Joan and Guardian Angel Joan.
* Repanse de Lyonesse from ''[[Warhammer Fantasy]]''.
Line 70:
* Red Phoenix from ''[[Silver Age Sentinels]]'' is a [[Magic Warrior]] whose origins may hint a connection to the actual Joan of Arc.
* Female paladins in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' and its spinoffs often share in this trope to varying degrees. The goddess Iomedae from [[Pathfinder]] even has the haircut.
* The sci-fi miniatures wargame ''[[
Line 83:
* Joanna Dark of ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' was named after Joan, but her resemblance to the archetype is indirect; she is rather androgynous, and gets involved in a plot that's beyond her position.
* Monica of ''[[Yggdra Union]]''.
* In a way, [[Lady of War|The Boss]] from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', although she's older than the usual examples. However, during [[World War II]] she became a military leader at an early age, she fought for her country, and {{spoiler|once the truth about her [[Fake Defector|fake defection]] comes out, she can be seen as a martyr.}}
* Janne from ''[[
* Charlotte from ''[[
* Arguably, Chris Lightfellow from ''[[Suikoden III]]''.
* Micaiah in ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Radiant Dawn''. She is named the [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|Silver-Haired Maiden]], she leads [[La Résistance]], she's the one to find the lost heir to the throne, and everyone, enemies included agrees that she's the one the people of her country will follow to the death, rather than the king.
Line 91:
* ''[[The Witcher]] 2'''s Saskia the Dragon Slayer fits this trope to a tee at first glance, a peasant girl who had by all accounts slain a dragon and is much beloved by the common folk who leads a peasant uprising, and helps to defend the city of Vergen from an invading army. She dreams of creating a queendom where humans, elves and dwarves live together as equals. An uncommonly noble goal in the [[Crapsack World]] of the Witcherverse (whether she is successful or not varies depending on your game choices). But there is a twist... {{spoiler|She is not actually a dragonslayer, she is an actual dragon, able to assume human form. The whole Dragonslayer story was cooked up by an elvish rebel named Iorveth, to help endear her to the people. Why she feels the need to fight for the common folk is a bit unclear, but perhaps she just felt the humans were doing it wrong and decided to show them how do to it right.}}
* Jeyne Kassynder of ''[[Dungeon Siege]] III'', who in the backstory riled up the populace against the 10th Legion in order to avenge the slain King, {{spoiler|her father}}, and exterminated them. However she's actually the [[Big Bad]] of the game since the main characters are attempting to rebuild the Legion.
* The "Sword Magess" from [[
* Emilia Nighthaven from ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]] IV'', who goes from a glassblower's child to the Queen of Great Arcan during the course of the Order campaign.
* Byakuren from ''[[
* Joan herself appears in several [[Koei]] games, debuting in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years War, and later appearing in the [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] game [[Warriors Orochi|Warriors Orochi 3]].
== Visual Novels ==
* Saber from ''[[Fate/stay
** [[What Could Have Been|Had it reached completion]], ''Fate/Apocrypha'' would've featured the ''actual'' Jeanne D'Arc.
== Web Comics ==
* In life, Jeanne of ''[[
* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] and possibly [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed]] with Jone (sic) Half-Orc in ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]''. Jone starts as a sympathetic young character with humble origins who just turns out to be a natural fighter and on a mission from the orc-god Gruumsh; it's too bad that her eventual army of followers consists of self-deluded fanatics (including a self-styled prophetess "interpreting" Jone's wishes as she sees fit, since their savior-figure is unfortunately mute) and that Jone herself gets so caught up in her "crusade" that she ultimately ends up going [[Ax Crazy]] beyond redemption.
