Do you know that Joan of Arc in reality, was not the calm, well-behaved young woman she is portrayed as in Christian literature? Accounts note that Once placed in control of the French army, the teenage peasant didn’t hesitate to chew out prestigious knights for swearing, behaving indecently, skipping Mass or dismissing her battle plans; she even accused her noble patrons of spinelessness in their dealings with the English. "The Maid’s" short fuse is evident in transcripts of her court hearings; when a clergyman with a thick regional accent asked what language her voices spoke, for instance, she retorted that they spoke French far better than he did.  (**Nina's notes)
