La Pucelle: The Crimson Holy Maiden (紅蓮の聖女, Guren no Seijo?) is the suicide-type Noble Phantasm used by Jeanne d'Arc.[3] It is a crystallized Conceptual Weapon that acts as an offensive interpretation of her burning at the stake, a subtype of Reality Marble that has the imagined landscape crystallized as a holy sword.[3][4] The sword itself is the Heroic Spirit Jeanne d'Arc.[4] It uses the Sword of St. CatherineWP, which Ruler never swung once in her lifetime, as its catalyst, and manifests the flames which once burned her to death by saying "O' Lord, I entrust this body to you—", a line from a death poem, as an activation incantation.[3][4]
By using this Noble Phantasm, Ruler loses her own life after the battle. But in exchange for her life, she can annihilate anything in existence.[3][4] Its designated rank of C refers only to its pre-activated state while the sword is still sheathed. The EX Rank after activation is because its pure destructive power cannot be calculated. These flames only destroy that which she thinks must be destroyed. In other words, this Noble Phantasm cannot be used against simply a strong enemy or out of emotions like hate. These flames exist in order to save something, and in Fate/Apocrypha, she decided to use this Noble Phantasm out of her sense of duty to save the future of humanity.[3]
If a wish is made on the Holy Grail at the same time that Ruler is using this Noble Phantasm, then it is possible for her to survive it by returning her Spirit Origin to its status from before she activated the Noble Phantasm.[5]
In Fate/Samurai Remnant, Lancer Jeanne's Master Chiemon used La Pucelle himself to kill Caster. The flames emerged from his Command Spells while Jeanne was nowhere near him, and both he and Jeanne died after it killed Caster. However, even in the face of her own destruction, the expression on Jeanne's face remained calm. For her, it was enough for things to end this way, that her Master would not be forced to commit any more sins.[6]
Development[]
In the original imagining of Fate/Apocrypha as a game, each Holy Grail War cycle was to end with the activation of this Noble Phantasm that she was stubbornly withholding until the end.[7]
Hirokazu Koyama designed the sword and the activation of La Pucelle. According to the Fate/Apocrypha material, Jeanne activates La Pucelle by throwing the sword up and catching it by the end of the blade. The flower on its pommel blooms, and the flames surge out of that like a great flower.[8]
The lines "The heavens declare the victory of God; The skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; Night after night they reveal knowledge" are from Psalm 19:1-2.

■ True Name Discernment: B
If summoned as a Ruler, during a direct encounter, a Servant's true name and entire status information will be automatically revealed. In regards to Servants with concealment abilities, a luck check is required.

Ruler's privilege.
Two Command Spells can be used for each Servant participating in the Holy Grail War. Cannot re-purpose others Command Spells.
Personal Skills
■ Revelation: A
A Skill equivalent to "Instinct".
Instinct is a sixth sense regarding battles, but "Revelation" accommodates all matters related to the achievement of a goal (for instance, choosing the most suitable path while traveling). Because there is no basis (so she thinks), it cannot be explained well to others.
■ Charisma : C
The natural talent to command an army. Joan's figure participating in the assaults hoisting a flag raised the morale of the soldiers to the limit and united the troops. Thanks to her charisma, it is possible to make others believe in the contents of the "revelations" without basis.
■ Saint: B
Indicates being acknowledged as a saint. When summoned as a Servant, the ability of saint is selected one among "raising the effectiveness of sacraments", "automatic HP recovery", "1 Rank-Up to Charisma" and "production of a holy shroud is possible".

La Pucelle. The suicide-type Noble Phantasm used by Ruler. It is a Conceptual Weapon that crystalizes one’s mental landscape. It uses the Sword of St-Catherine, which Ruler never swung once in her lifetime, as its catalyst, and manifests the flames which once burned her to death. By using this Noble Phantasm, Ruler loses her own life. But in exchange for her life, she can annihilate anything in existence.
Its designated rank of C refers only to its pre-activated state while the sword is still sheathed. The EX rank after activating is because its pure destructive power cannot be calculated.

Joan of Arc is a Servant of the Ruler class, with the additional classification of the Saber class, designed by Kinoko Nasu. She is a Catholic saint born in Domrémy, France, and the heroine of France who liberated Orléans in the Hundred Years' War. She is a special Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail itself to act as the administrator of the "game" unlike other Servants. She is taciturn and cool when acting as a Servant, but her natural self is a plain and quiet sixteen-year-old girl. She puts order first, and will wield a sword for the sake of the rules, but fundamentally believes "all people and Heroic Spirits participating in the Holy Grail War are important".

ジャンヌ・ダルク
百年戦争でオルレアンを解放したフランスの英雄。カトリックの聖人。聖杯戦争そのものに召喚された英霊として、聖杯戦争を正しく運営する役割を持つ。そのため、他のサーヴァントとは違い、繰り返されるゲーム(聖杯戦争)の記憶を継承している。サーヴァントとして振る舞う時は無口でクール。一方、素のジャンヌは素朴でおとなしい16歳の少女である。規律を第一とし、ルールを守るために剣を振るうが、基本的に"聖杯戦争に参加している人間、英霊はみんな大切"と考えている。

Nasu: To summarise, there is a conspiracy in the finale of the story that intends to use the Holy Grail War framework for evil. As the Counter Force, the Servant Joan of Arc wishes to safeguard the framework of the Holy Grail War. Other Servants wish to protect their respective Master, but Joan wishes to protect the Holy Grail War. Although the development of the story may change depending on the Servant’s relationship with the Master, ultimately the story concludes with Joan activating her ultimate Noble Phantasm which she stubbornly withheld. The goal here is to create a world with a complete story, despite being an online game.Fate/Apocryphaの真実
