Description
Twelve-year-old Jeanne d'Arc survived a mercenary attack on Domremy that killed her sister and left her mortally wounded. Saved only by alchemist Montmorency implanting half his Philosopher's Stone within her, she became a Ulysses—a being with supernatural abilities. Her youth and the incomplete stone impose severe restrictions, limiting her transformed state to three-minute intervals.
Her fundamental nature is gentle, kind, and idealistic, once believing daily prayer could halt the Hundred Years' War. However, the Philosopher's Stone amplifies her negative traits during transformation, fracturing her personality. In this state, she becomes arrogant, brutal, and sadistic, craving combat and displaying extreme bloodlust. This darker self challenges allies like La Hire and mocks enemies before destroying them. Despite this duality, her core compassion remains; she defies strategy to protect civilians in Orléans, refusing to sacrifice innocents.
As a Ulysses, she gains superhuman strength, speed, heightened senses, and a healing factor, enabling her to devastate enemy forces single-handedly. Her combat style is pragmatic, targeting weaknesses like an opponent's head despite their healing. Sustaining this power requires regular infusions of Montmorency's elixir, obtained through forceful kisses. This dependency strains their relationship, fueling her jealousy towards other women sharing the stone's power or interacting with him. She also harbors insecurities about her physical maturity, notably envying allies' larger busts.
Her role evolves from village survivor to France's symbolic savior. Montmorency positions her as a divine figure to boost morale, leveraging her public image while countering church accusations of heresy. Key actions include exposing an imposter princess through observation and enduring torture to prove loyalty to Charlotte, France's heir, solidifying her as a unifying beacon against English forces.
Her abilities carry inherent costs: the three-minute limit, the elixir dependency, and the stone's corruption of her psyche. When Montmorency ingests the stone's other half to save her, it inadvertently summons a catastrophic entity. This duality—saint and warrior, innocence and brutality—defines her struggle.
