apperince

stage 1 Ascension 1 — “The False Lion Awakens” Overall Impression

At first glance, she looks like a young warrior-king, composed and authoritative. But the longer you look, the more something feels… off.

Not monstrous yet—just wrong in a way you can’t ignore.

👤 Face & Expression Clearly based on Joan of England Fair skin, sharp features, and long blonde hair Hair is mostly neat but slightly wild at the ends, like it refuses to fully obey Eyes are primarily blue, calm and steady But: In certain lighting, they flicker faint gold Expression: Confident Regal Slightly distant Like someone used to being obeyed 👑 Head & Crown Elements No full crown yet Instead: Subtle horn nubs or small curved horns emerging from her temples They’re easy to miss at first glance Suggest something growing, not yet revealed 🛡️ Armor & Clothing Wears dark medieval armor, styled like a crusader king Armor is: Mostly intact and functional Decorated with faint lion motifs Across the armor are thin, glowing cracks: Dim orange/red Like heat beneath stone A tattered red cape hangs from her shoulders: Burned slightly at the edges Moves heavier than normal cloth, almost like it carries weight ⚔️ Weapon A large greatsword, still mostly whole Shows wear: Chips along the edge Slight discoloration like it’s been through extreme heat She carries it easily, like it’s part of her identity 🖐️ Hands & Arms Mostly human But: Fingers are slightly clawed Nails darker, sharper than normal When she grips something, there’s a hint of predatory tension 🐾 Lower Body Still human in structure However: Her stance is subtly different Weight distribution feels more like a predator ready to move Boots are armored but slightly stylized to hint at future transformation 🦂 Tail (Early Form) A thin, partially formed scorpion tail Not always visible at first glance: Often hidden behind her or under the cape Moves subtly, almost unconsciously The stinger is: Small Dimly glowing 🔥 Aura & Presence No overwhelming pressure yet—but noticeable Effects include: Air feels warmer around her Very faint heat shimmer near armor cracks Occasional ember-like particles drifting off her cape People around her feel: Slight unease A sense they’re standing before someone important 🧠 Behavioral Visual Cues Stands upright, shoulders back—perfect royal posture Movements are controlled, deliberate Rarely fidgets Occasionally: Her eyes linger on powerful individuals longer than normal Like she’s measuring them 🎭 Key Visual Theme

This stage is all about:

“A king before the crown breaks.”

She still looks like someone who could belong among heroes like Artoria Pendragon…

…but the cracks—literal and metaphorical—are already there.

⚖️ Quick Summary Mostly human knight-king aesthetic Subtle monster traits (horns, claws, tail) Glowing magma cracks hinting at something deeper Calm, regal, slightly unnatural presence

stage 2

Ascension 2 — “The Lionheart Manifest” Overall Impression

She no longer looks like a knight with something wrong.

She looks like:

A king who was always meant to be a monster.

Everything is sharper, brighter, heavier—her presence alone feels like standing too close to a blazing furnace.

👤 Face & Expression Still recognizably based on Joan of England But now framed by a wild, voluminous mane-like hairstyle Eyes are predominantly gold The blue is almost gone—only faint flickers remain Expression: Confident to the point of dominance A slight, predatory smile Looks at others like they are either subjects… or prey 👑 Crown & Horns Horns have grown into large, curved ram-like structures Thick, imposing, unmistakable A floating crown of jagged, burning metal hovers just above her head Constantly shedding embers Slightly cracked and uneven

It looks like authority made physical—but unstable.

🛡️ Armor & Clothing Armor has transformed into ornate black-and-gold royal armor Covered in: Deep, glowing magma fissures Warped lion motifs (more beast than heraldry now) The armor feels less worn and more… alive Her cape has changed dramatically: No longer just cloth Now resembles a flame-like mantle Moves like fire in slow motion ⚔️ Weapon Her greatsword is still present but altered: Larger Heavier Cracked with glowing heat Sometimes appears partially fused with her arm or armor Feels less like a tool and more like an extension of her will 🖐️ Arms & Hands One arm: Retains armored humanoid form Still powerful and controlled Other arm: Fully transformed into a massive chitinous claw Layered plating with glowing veins beneath Capable of crushing or tearing with ease 🐾 Lower Body Fully shifted into digitigrade, beast-like legs Covered in armored plating and dark chitin Feet end in large, curved talons Her stance: Lower More predatory Always looks ready to lunge or strike 🦂 Tail Now a fully developed scorpion tail Long, segmented, constantly moving with intent The stinger: Large Brightly glowing like molten metal Occasionally emits sparks or heat distortion 🔥 Aura & Environment

This is where things escalate hard:

Heat distortion is constant around her body Ground cracks and glows where she steps Embers drift through the air around her A faint soundscape follows her: Distant lion roars Low, rumbling heat

People nearby feel:

Pressure on their chest Instinct to kneel or step back 🧠 Behavioral Visual Cues Movements are more assertive and territorial Makes direct, unwavering eye contact Stands like she already owns the space Tail reacts to tension—like a predator’s mood indicator 🎭 Key Visual Theme

This stage represents:

“The crown claimed—whether it was hers or not.”

She fully embodies the identity of Richard I of England here—even if it’s built on something unstable.

⚖️ Quick Summary Strong blend of human and monster Fully visible horns, tail, claw arm Lava-cracked royal armor Floating burning crown Dominant, predatory king-like presence

stage 3

🜂 Ascension 3 — “Regnum Bestiae” (True Beast Form) Overall Impression n this stage, Joan is no longer a warrior or a corrupted king, but a living calamity that overwrites the space around her. She has fully transformed into a massive lion–scorpion–dragon chimera, representing the legend of the Lionheart burning within a form that devours kings.

Physical Characteristics Face & Identity: Her head is now that of a lion, framed by a wild mane of living fire and flame-like energy. Her eyes are a piercing, intense gold with no trace of her former humanity visible.

Crown & Horns: Massive, jagged horns that resemble a broken halo have evolved from her skull. The crown is no longer a separate object; it is a burning bone crown fused directly into her head, symbolizing an unchallengeable rule.

Torso & Armor: She retains a feminine humanoid torso, but her black obsidian skin is fused with cracked, melted armor. Slow-moving magma veins flow beneath her skin, radiating intense, controlled heat.

Monstrous Limbs:

Right Arm: A massive, heavy armored claw designed for overwhelming crushing force.

Left Arm: An elongated, chitin-edged blade-like limb built for lethal precision.

Lower Body: Her legs are fully beastial and digitigrade, providing the power and stability needed to dominate the battlefield.

The Scorpion Tail: An enormous, multi-segmented tail with a stinger that flares with bright energy when she is agitated.

Presence and Behavior Atmospheric Shift: Her mere existence warps reality; the ground cracks and becomes magma-lit, while the air grows heavy and ash-filled.

Aura of Dominance: Flame-like energy forms pseudo-wings around her, and she moves with the slow, deliberate stillness of an apex predator. When she finally acts, her movements are sudden, overwhelming, and final.

she switch between the stages upon her masters request

personalities depending on the stage

Ascension 1: The False Lion At this stage, her personality is defined by a deep inner conflict. Though the "fire of envy and ambition" has begun to burn within her, she still desperately clings to her human reason. She is a "Beast that yearns to be a king," driven by a desire to prove herself worthy of the title she has claimed, even as her nature begins to shift toward something more predatory.

Ascension 2: The Lionheart Manifest The conflict between human and beast begins to tip toward her monstrous nature. Having fully embraced the title of "Richard I," her power and presence have increased dramatically. She carries herself with the pride of a "false king" standing at the peak of war and glory. Her loyalty to a downtrodden Master remains absolute, but her methods are becoming more fierce and uncompromising as she settles into her role as a ruler of the battlefield.

Ascension 3: Regnum Bestiae (True Beast Form) In this form, the illusion of her identity as a human king is gone. She is an apex predator that "devours kings and kingdoms alike". Her personality is now characterized by a primal hunger for conquest and an absolute, inhuman will to be acknowledged. She moves with the slow, deliberate stillness of a calamity that knows nothing can threaten it, acting only with sudden, final, and overwhelming force.

Ascension 4: The Beast of Charity This stage reveals the complex "Beast of Charity" nature behind the destruction. While she remains a terrifying entity that devours the rich, her personality is marked by a "non-conditional loyalty" and a fiercely protective instinct toward the poor and her Master. It is a calm, somber moment that highlights the contrast in her soul: she is a world-ending calamity to some, but a devoted, protective guardian to those she deems her own

motive and attatude toward master depending on the stage

Joan of England's relationship with her Master is defined by a shift from human-like duty to a primal, territorial devotion as she ascends. Across all stages, her core motive remains rooted in her identity as the Beast of Charity: a manifested protector who devours the rich and empowers the downtrodden.

Ascension 1: The Devoted Knight-Aspirant Motive: Driven by a desperate need to prove her worthiness of the title "Richard I," she seeks to validate her existence through service.

Attitude: She treats her Master with the disciplined respect of a high-ranking knight. Though internal envy burns within her, she suppresses her beastial instincts to maintain a relationship built on human reason and tactical cooperation.

Ascension 2: The Proud Protector-King Motive: No longer conflicted, her goal is to stand at the peak of glory and war as the manifest "Lionheart".

Attitude: Her stance is more authoritative and fierce. She views her Master as an essential partner in her conquest, offering a "non-conditional loyalty" that is increasingly uncompromising. She doesn't just serve; she commands the battlefield on her Master's behalf.

Ascension 3: The Guardian Apex Predator Motive: Her human ambitions are replaced by a primal hunger for conquest and a total will to be acknowledged as the ultimate calamity.

Attitude: She adopts the mindset of a guardian pet. To the world, she is a silent, reality-warping monster, but toward her Master, she is territorial and subservient. She lowers her massive lion head to their level, treating them as her only authority and the sole anchor for her destructive power.

Ascension 4: The Beast of Charity Motive: The "Final Revelation" reveals her ultimate purpose: using her catastrophic power to provide sanctuary for the weak.

Attitude: Her attitude reaches a state of calm, somber devotion. She acts as a shield, showing a profound contrast between her terrifying "Regnum Bestiae" form and the gentle, fierce protective instinct she holds for her Master.

skills and abilities through out the stages

As Joan of England ascends, her abilities shift from the refined techniques of a knight to the reality-warping presence of a primordial Beast. Across all stages, her "Beast of Charity" nature ensures her power is fueled by the destruction of the wealthy to provide for her Master.

Ascension 1: The False Lion Awakens In this stage, her abilities are focused on high-speed combat and the suppression of her growing hunger.

Lionheart Devourer EX: A passive-active hybrid skill. The longer she remains in combat, the more her human "courage" is converted into unyielding power and physical strength.

Crown of Burning Dominion A: An aura that begins to manifest around her, making enemies feel hunted and unworthy in her presence.

Shadow of the Lionheart EX: She replicates the legend of Richard I, allowing her to manifest "shadow" projections of her weaponry or past deeds to overwhelm opponents.

Ascension 2: The Lionheart Manifest Her skills evolve to reflect her acceptance of her role as a ruler and a predator.

King of Beasts A+: An upgraded form of her shadow ability. She no longer just replicates a legend; she begins to dictate the flow of battle, commanding the environment to obey her will.

Segmented Laceration: Utilizing her early-stage scorpion tail, she can deliver precise, venomous strikes that bypass magical defenses.

Lava-Veined Fortification: Her armor, now fused with her skin, provides immense resistance to both physical and magical attacks, radiating heat that damages anyone in close proximity.

Ascension 3: Regnum Bestiae At her peak, her skills are no longer "techniques" but natural functions of her catastrophic existence.

Regnum Bestiae EX: Her power level is now Anti-Army and Anti-World. She blends the traits of a lion, dragon, and scorpion to become a calamity beyond human scale.

World-Warping Presence: This is a passive effect where her mere existence cracks the ground, mutes sound, and makes the air nearly impossible for enemies to breathe.

Stinger Flare: Her massive scorpion tail can flare with concentrated energy, capable of splitting into afterimages or multiplying its strikes to erase entire platoons instantly.

Apex Guardian Instinct: As your "guardian pet," she gains a massive defensive boost when positioned near her Master, creating a "dead zone" that no enemy can enter without being instantly targeted by her crushing claw.
