The Maid of Orléans, Jeanne d'Arc, remains one of the most iconic and beloved figures in the entire *Fate* franchise. Her role as the impartial Ruler-class Servant in the Great Holy Grail War of *Fate/Apocrypha* set her apart, tasking her with overseeing the massive conflict between the Red and Black Factions. Since the anime's conclusion, fans have continually sought out new merchandise and deep dives into her controversial lore, especially concerning her ultimate sacrifice and her bond with the homunculus, Sieg. As of December 2025, Jeanne's enduring popularity is evidenced by a steady stream of high-quality collectibles and her continued presence in new *Fate* media, proving that the Holy Maiden's story is far from over. Her complex character—a saint who finds human love—is what keeps the fandom captivated and her story relevant years after the original light novel's release.

The Impartial Ruler: Jeanne d'Arc's Complete Biography and Profile

Jeanne d'Arc, or Ruler, is the central overseer of the Great Holy Grail War depicted in *Fate/Apocrypha*. Unlike the typical Servants summoned by Masters for combat, the Ruler-class is an administrative class summoned by the Grail itself to ensure the integrity of the war.

  • True Name: Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc)
  • Class: Ruler
  • Master: None (Summoned directly by the Grail)
  • Host Body (Vessel): Lætitia, a French high school girl whose body Jeanne temporarily possesses.
  • Historical Origin: The national heroine of France, who led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War before being captured and burned at the stake.
  • Alignment: Lawful Good
  • Height: 168 cm
  • Weight: 44 kg
  • Key Role in *Apocrypha*: To mediate the war between the Red Faction (led by Shirou Kotomine) and the Black Faction (led by Yggdmillennia).
  • Key Relationships: Sieg (lover/protégé), Gilles de Rais (former comrade, now Caster of Blue), Astolfo (Rider of Black).

Her summon is unique. She is not bound by a Master and possesses a special form of Command Spells, known as God's Resolution, which allows her to command any Servant in the war. Her impartial nature is her core identity, yet the series explores how her human vessel, Lætitia, and her growing emotional attachment to the homunculus Sieg challenge that impartiality, forcing her to make deeply personal choices.

Noble Phantasms and Abilities: The Power of Saintly Conviction

Jeanne d'Arc's power is less about brute force and more about absolute defense and ultimate sacrifice, reflecting her historical role as a divinely guided leader and martyr. Her abilities are a cornerstone of her character's topical authority within the *Fate* universe.

Luminosité Eternelle: God's Protection Against the Wicked

This is Jeanne's primary defensive Noble Phantasm. It manifests as a holy banner that, when planted, creates a vast, powerful fortress of light. The effect is an Anti-Unit/Anti-Army Noble Phantasm that protects her allies from almost any attack, including the most devastating Noble Phantasms.

  • Function: Creates a protective bounded field that neutralizes magical or physical damage.
  • Lore Detail: The banner is the same standard she carried in life, which never once stained with blood, symbolizing her purity and devotion.

La Pucelle: The Crimson Holy Maiden's Ultimate Sacrifice

The most iconic and devastating of her Noble Phantasms, La Pucelle is a literal self-immolation attack. It is the crystallization of the legend of her death—being burned alive at the stake. By invoking this, Jeanne d'Arc sets her sword (and herself) ablaze, unleashing a massive, destructive torrent of holy fire that is capable of vaporizing anything it touches.

The cost of this power is absolute: its use results in Jeanne d'Arc's permanent death and erasure from the world, a true suicide attack. She utilizes this power in the climax of *Fate/Apocrypha* to stop the Greater Grail, cementing her role as a martyr for humanity.

The Jeanne d'Arc Legacy: New Figures and Controversial Ending Theories (2025 Update)

The enduring appeal of Jeanne d'Arc means that even years after the anime's debut, new and unique merchandise continues to be released, keeping her character fresh in the minds of fans. Furthermore, the final moments of *Apocrypha* remain a hot topic for fan discussion and deep-lore analysis.

Fresh Merchandise: The Jeanne d'Arc Glasses Model Figure

One of the most recent and unique releases highlighting her continuing popularity is the Ruler (Jeanne d'Arc) Original Glasses Model Ver. 1/7 Scale Figure. This figure, often from manufacturers like Wanderer, depicts the Holy Maiden in a surprising, more casual look wearing glasses. This kind of alternative, character-focused merchandise is a clear indicator that the market for *Fate/Apocrypha* collectibles is highly active, extending beyond her traditional armor-clad appearance. Max Factory and Sega also continue to release various scale figures and action figures, ensuring her presence on collector shelves remains strong.

The Controversial Ending: Her Reunion with Sieg

The ending of *Fate/Apocrypha*, where Jeanne d'Arc sacrifices herself with La Pucelle and later reunites with Sieg on the Reverse Side of the World, is perhaps the most debated element of her story. Fan theories often center on two key entities and concepts:

  1. The Nature of the Reunion: After her death, Sieg uses the Greater Grail to transform into a Dragon and flies to the Reverse Side of the World. The Jeanne he meets there is not a simple resurrection. Lore suggests that Jeanne, through sheer will and her bond with Sieg, managed to break out of the Throne of Heroes—the place where all Heroic Spirits are stored—after a "very long time" to find him. This is a monumental, almost unprecedented feat within *Fate* lore, highlighting the power of her love and conviction.
  2. Contradiction of Her Saintly Role: Critics and fans debate whether her intense, personal love for Sieg contradicts her role as the impartial, saintly Ruler who is supposed to love all of humanity equally. The author, Yuichiro Higashide, and the narrative itself suggest that this personal, human love is not a contradiction but a natural extension of her immense capacity for empathy, a final act of human desire before returning to the Throne. The villainous Servant Shakespeare attempts to exploit this love, framing it as a weakness, but Jeanne ultimately proves it to be her greatest strength.

This deep dive into her final moments and the philosophical questions surrounding her character ensure that Jeanne d'Arc remains one of the most compelling and frequently discussed Servants in the entire *Fate* franchise, captivating both new viewers and long-time fans of the Great Holy Grail War narrative.
