She is one of the rare magical girls to be born without a natural weapon or knowledge of one. Instead, she often destroyed most of her opponents with a blast of light energy from her soul gem, sometimes taking on the vague shape of a sword. While incredibly powerful, it often drained a great deal of her magic which took a heavy burden on her. She has high offensive and defensive abilities, able to take direct hits from other magical girls without harm, and these abilities were enhanced even further after her near-death experience at the hands of Corbeau and her subsequent revival as a result of Melissa's wish. She was later able to conjure a flag standard that she used as her ultimate attack "La Lumiere". After meeting with another magical girl named Pernelle, she was gifted a sword known as the "Épée de Clovis", which was forged with metal that had magical properties and was housed at the church of St. Catherine. This allowed her to channel smaller amounts of her magic into the sword and made it easier for her to conserve her magical power in battle.

==Etymology==
In the English language her first name has been repeated as Joan since the fifteenth century because that was the only English equivalent for the feminine form of John during her lifetime. Her surviving signatures are all spelled Jehanne without surname. In French her name is today always rendered as Jeanne d'Arc, reflecting the modern spelling of her first name. The surname of Arc is a translation of d'Arc, which itself is a nineteenth-century French approximation of her father's name. Apostrophes were never used in fifteenth-century French surnames, which sometimes leads to confusion between place names and other names that begin with the letter D. Based on Latin records, which do reflect a difference, her father's name was more likely Darc. Spelling was also phonetic and original records produce his surname in at least nine different forms, such as Dars, Day, Darx, Dare, Tarc, Tart or Dart.
Kyubey asked Jean to spell her name out since it would be easier for him, however Jeanne was not very literate and was only taught to write her name by the village priest. After looking at her name, Kyubey decides her surname "Tart" sounded better and decides to refer to her as that


To further complicate matters, surnames were not universal in the fifteenth century and surname inheritance did not necessarily follow modern patterns. Joan of Arc testified at her trial that the local custom in her native region was for girls to use their mothers' surname. Joan's mother was known both as Isabelle Romée and Isabelle de Vouthon. No surviving record from Joan's lifetime shows that she used either her mother's or her father's surname, but she often referred to herself as la Pucelle, which roughly translates as the Maiden. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, when Jeanne d'Arc and Joan of Arc became standard, literature and artistic works that refer to her often describe her as la Pucelle or the Maid of Orléans. Her native village has been renamed Domrémy-la-Pucelle in reflection of that tradition.

Powers

She is one of the rare magical girls to be born without a natural weapon or knowledge of one. Instead, she often destroyed most of her opponents with a blast of light energy from her soul gem, sometimes taking on the vague shape of a sword. While incredibly powerful, it often drained a great deal of her magic which took a heavy burden on her. She has high offensive and defensive abilities, able to take direct hits from other magical girls without harm, and these abilities were enhanced even further after her near-death experience at the hands of Corbeau and her subsequent revival as a result of Melissa's wish. She was later able to conjure a flag standard that she used as her ultimate attack "La Lumiere". After meeting with another magical girl named Pernelle, she was gifted a sword known as the "Épée de Clovis", which was forged with metal that had magical properties and was housed at the church of St. Catherine. This allowed her to channel smaller amounts of her magic into the sword and made it easier for her to conserve her magical power in battle.

Observations

  • She is known as Jeanette by her friends and family, and referred to as 'La Pucelle' by the French soldiers and officials. The later is a shortened version of 'La Pucelle d'Orléans' (The Maid of Orléans), a common nickname for Joan of Arc. On it's own, 'La Pucelle' can be translated as "The Maiden".

Etymology

Kyubey asked Jean to spell her name out since it would be easier for him, however Jeanne was not very literate and was only taught to write her name by the village priest. After looking at her name, Kyubey decides her surname "Tart" sounded better and decides to refer to her as that
