Joan of Arc was a war leader who was instrumental in France retaining its sovereignty from the invading English. Though she was illiterate, her court transcripts detail how incredibly well-spoken, passionate, and true to her morals she was. It's not often that a peasant woman acts as a knight and war general. Joan has one of the most documented lives as a woman from the peasantry, and she's captured the hearts and imaginations of people for so long that many legends are attached to her story. There's a lot about Joan of Arc that inspires authors, painters, mangaka, and anime writers.
