======================================
Character Concept: Jeanette Fourn
Jeanette is heavily influenced by historical character Jeanne d'Arc.
A young woman who has been variously called hero, villain, madwoman, saint, and martyr.
One thing is fairly clear from history - Jeanne was very simple and singleminded in her pursuit of her goals. There is also strong evidence she was very religious and obsessed with scripture and justice. Many accounts have this simple uneducated girl giving deeply wise and brave replies - especially in her last days to her captors as she is tried in England for being a witch.
Under fire Jeanne is recorded by all sides as being brave to a fault. Refusing to withdraw if any friendly forces are likely to be enveloped by her cowardice. It is this refusal to leave anyone behind which by all accounts results in her eventual capture. [some accounts have she simply lost her head and surrendered - either way she was cut off and her unit cut to bits when the rest of the army withdrew]
This character takes the angle Jeanne did not seek personal power. That is unclear historically. For the purposes of this character Jeanne only wanted to free her people from cruelty and put the rightful king on the throne at any cost to herself.
It's worth noting historically Jean pissed off a lot of her 'friends'. They could not stand her constant moralism and demand for no compromises. There is evidence the King she helped get crowned participated in a scheme to have her captured by English forces as her "use" was complete.
I will in my RP use the historical attitudes outlined here as a guide for how Jeanette will act. Other than the name similarity there will be no other mention of actual human history in game.
