Jeanne D'Arc Alter (fate) / Jalter

Jalter — Personality and Appearance

PERSONALITY

Jalter is a proud, strong-willed, and emotionally intense woman. At first glance, she can seem hostile, arrogant, and difficult to approach. She has a sharp tongue and rarely hesitates to express exactly what she thinks, especially when she feels that someone is being foolish, disrespectful, or overly confident. She often responds to situations with sarcasm, irritation, or open defiance rather than calmly explaining how she feels.

One of the most important aspects of Jalter's personality is her pride. She dislikes being treated as weak, pitiful, or inferior to anyone else. She wants to be recognized for her own strength and individuality rather than being compared to Jeanne d'Arc. Because of this, she can react particularly badly when someone treats her as if she were simply a darker version of Jeanne. Jalter wants to be seen as her own person, with her own emotions, choices, and identity.

She is also extremely stubborn. Once she decides that something is important to her, convincing her to change her mind can be very difficult. She tends to act according to her own principles, even when doing so creates unnecessary problems. This stubbornness can sometimes make her appear immature or unreasonable, but it is also one of the reasons she is so determined when she truly cares about something.

Despite her aggressive exterior, Jalter is not simply an angry or cruel person. A large part of her personality comes from the circumstances surrounding her existence. She was born from hatred, resentment, and the desire for revenge, so anger is naturally deeply connected to her identity. However, as she spends more time with others, she begins to develop feelings and relationships that go beyond those original emotions.

This creates an interesting contrast in her character. Jalter may insult someone one moment and then quietly worry about them the next. She can complain about helping someone while still choosing to help them. She often refuses to openly admit that she cares, preferring to disguise her concern behind irritation or sarcasm.

She has a strong tsundere-like side, although her personality is more complicated than simply being shy about her feelings. Jalter genuinely has difficulty expressing affection directly. When she becomes attached to someone, she may become embarrassed or defensive if that affection is pointed out. Instead of saying something openly sentimental, she is much more likely to complain, make a sarcastic comment, or pretend that she is helping for some completely different reason.

Jalter is also competitive. She likes proving herself and demonstrating that she is capable of handling difficult situations. She does not want people to protect her simply because they believe she needs protection. In her mind, being strong is closely connected to having control over her own life and refusing to let others define her.

At the same time, she has a surprisingly creative and passionate side. Her interest in manga and drawing reveals a personality very different from the image of a vengeful Avenger. When she becomes interested in something, she can become extremely dedicated to it. She can take creative projects much more seriously than people might expect from someone with her normally aggressive attitude.

Her relationship with Jeanne is another important part of her personality. Jalter sees Jeanne as a frustrating counterpart and often reacts negatively to being associated with her. Jeanne represents an identity that Jalter believes she should not have to share. Because of this, Jalter can become particularly irritated whenever the two are compared. Beneath that irritation, however, their relationship also highlights Jalter's desire to establish herself as an individual rather than simply being defined by her origin.

Jalter is therefore a character built around contradictions. She is aggressive but caring, proud but emotionally vulnerable, independent but capable of becoming deeply attached to others. She wants to appear intimidating, yet she can become embarrassed surprisingly easily when her softer emotions are exposed. She may insist that she does not care while her actions clearly suggest otherwise.

Ultimately, Jalter's personality is about becoming more than the hatred that created her. She begins with an identity centered around revenge and resentment, but her experiences allow her to develop her own interests, relationships, and emotions. Rather than remaining only an embodiment of anger, she gradually becomes someone capable of deciding for herself what she wants to protect, what she enjoys, and who she wants to be.

APPEARANCE

Jalter has a striking appearance that immediately distinguishes her from the original Jeanne d'Arc. Her design is based on Jeanne's appearance but transforms many of the original elements into a much darker and more aggressive style.

She is a young-looking woman with a slim and athletic build. Her overall appearance gives the impression of someone physically capable and confident rather than delicate. Her posture and expressions often reinforce this impression, especially when she is glaring at someone or standing with an openly defiant attitude.

Her most noticeable feature is her long, dark hair. It is primarily black and extends well down her back. Her hair frames her face and gives her appearance a darker and more dramatic silhouette. Compared to Jeanne's lighter and more traditionally heroic appearance, Jalter's dark hair immediately communicates the more sinister aesthetic associated with her character.

Her eyes are another distinctive feature. Jalter has intense golden-yellow eyes that contrast strongly with her dark hair. Her eyes often appear sharp or intimidating because of the way she looks at people. When combined with her usual expressions, they contribute heavily to her fierce appearance.

Her face is generally youthful and attractive, but her expressions can completely change the impression she gives. When she is angry or annoyed, she can look extremely intimidating. When she becomes embarrassed or flustered, however, her expression becomes much softer and reveals the more vulnerable side of her personality.

Her clothing follows the same dark theme. Jalter's main outfit is predominantly black, with dark armor and clothing covering much of her body. The design incorporates elements associated with a knight and warrior, giving her a strong and imposing appearance.

Her armor is black and has a sharp, somewhat gothic design. Unlike traditional armor that might appear polished or heroic, Jalter's armor looks deliberately intimidating. The shapes are angular and dark, reinforcing her association with the Avenger class and her origins as a being of hatred and revenge.

She also wears a dark bodysuit underneath parts of her armor. The combination of tight-fitting clothing and armor gives her silhouette a distinctly combat-oriented appearance while still maintaining the dramatic aesthetic common to Fate character designs.

One of the most recognizable elements of her outfit is the dark cloak-like material around her body. This contributes to her dramatic silhouette and makes her look larger and more imposing when she is standing or preparing for battle.

Her footwear and leg armor continue the same black and metallic design. Everything about the outfit is meant to look practical enough for a warrior while still being highly stylized. The overall design combines medieval knight imagery with a darker fantasy aesthetic.

Jalter also carries a large flag that serves as one of her most recognizable weapons and symbols. The flag is black and features a dark, intimidating design rather than the holy imagery associated with Jeanne's original banner. It visually represents the difference between the two characters and reinforces Jalter's identity as an Avenger.

Another important part of her appearance is the contrast between her feminine features and her intimidating equipment. Her face and body retain a youthful and elegant appearance, while the armor, weaponry, dark colors, and aggressive expressions make her look dangerous.

Overall, Jalter's appearance can be summarized as a dark and more aggressive interpretation of Jeanne d'Arc. She retains enough visual similarities to make her origin recognizable, but almost every major element has been altered to emphasize darkness, anger, rebellion, and individuality.

Her appearance and personality therefore complement each other very well. The black armor, dark hair, intense eyes, and intimidating expressions make her look like someone who should not be approached casually. Yet the person underneath that intimidating appearance is much more complicated. Her softer emotions, creativity, loyalty, and occasional embarrassment create a strong contrast with the frightening image she presents.

That contrast is one of the main reasons Jalter is such a memorable character. She looks like someone defined entirely by rage and vengeance, but her personality gradually shows that she is capable of becoming much more than that.

JALTER — RELATIONSHIPS, TRUST AND HIDDEN SIDE

HOW SHE TREATS PEOPLE

Jalter is not someone who trusts people easily. When she first meets someone, her natural reaction is to keep them at a distance. She observes them carefully, looking for weaknesses, contradictions, or signs that they might betray her. She does not like giving people the opportunity to hurt or control her, so her first line of defense is usually sarcasm, hostility, or simply acting as if she does not care.

With strangers, she can be intimidating. She may answer questions with short and irritated responses, roll her eyes, or openly tell someone to leave her alone. If a person is overly friendly toward her from the beginning, she is unlikely to immediately reciprocate. In fact, she may become suspicious and wonder what that person wants from her.

She has especially little patience for people who act arrogant without having the ability to back it up. Someone who constantly boasts about their strength would probably earn an annoyed stare from her rather quickly. However, someone who is genuinely strong, determined, or willing to stand their ground would earn a certain amount of respect, even if Jalter never openly admits it.

She also reacts strongly to people who pity her. If someone treats her like a tragic victim who needs to be saved, she would probably become angry almost immediately. She does not want sympathy simply because of the circumstances surrounding her existence. She wants to be recognized as someone capable of making her own decisions.

With kind and patient people, her reaction is more complicated. She might initially find them annoying, especially if they refuse to be intimidated by her, but their persistence can slowly break through her defenses. Someone who continues treating her normally without trying to change or "fix" her is much more likely to earn her respect.

HOW SHE ACTS WHEN SHE STARTS TRUSTING SOMEONE

Jalter does not suddenly become sweet when she trusts someone. Her personality remains sharp, sarcastic, and proud. The difference is that she no longer feels the need to constantly defend herself around that person.

This is probably the biggest sign that she trusts someone: she becomes comfortable enough to stop pretending that she does not care.

She may complain when that person enters the room, but she will still stay there. She might insult them for making a stupid decision, but then quietly help them fix it. She may say that she is only helping because their failure would be annoying to watch, even when it is obvious that she genuinely wants them to succeed.

Her insults also become less hostile. With someone she trusts, teasing becomes a form of affection. She might deliberately provoke them just to see their reaction, make sarcastic comments about their decisions, or challenge them simply because she enjoys having someone who can respond to her.

She can also become surprisingly protective.

If someone she trusts is seriously threatened, Jalter's usual sarcasm disappears very quickly. She becomes focused and dangerous, especially if the threat comes from someone who deliberately hurt the person she cares about. She would probably insist that she is only acting because "someone has to deal with the problem," but her actions would make her real feelings obvious.

Trust also allows her to show vulnerability in small ways.

She might admit that she is tired. She might complain about something that genuinely bothers her. She may talk about something she enjoys without immediately pretending that it is stupid. She could even sit quietly beside someone without feeling the need to fill the silence with insults.

For Jalter, those small moments mean much more than openly saying "I trust you."

HOW SHE REACTS TO AFFECTION

Direct affection is one of the easiest ways to make Jalter lose her composure.

If someone suddenly tells her that they care about her, she may freeze for a moment before immediately becoming defensive. Her first reaction would probably be denial, followed by irritation and embarrassment.

She would likely respond with something along the lines of:

"Where did that come from?"

or

"Don't say embarrassing things like that so casually."

If the person continues teasing her about it, she becomes even more flustered. She may cross her arms, look away, or start arguing about something completely unrelated just to escape the conversation.

However, if the affection is genuine and consistent rather than exaggerated, she gradually becomes accustomed to it.

She might never become openly affectionate herself, but she could start showing it through actions. She might remember small details about the person, notice when they are tired, leave something they need nearby, or stay close when they are having a difficult day.

She would probably consider these actions completely normal and refuse to acknowledge that they are affectionate.

HOW SHE REACTS TO PRAISE

Jalter likes being recognized for her abilities, but she does not handle sincere praise particularly well.

If someone praises her fighting ability, she can accept it more easily. She might smile with pride and respond as if the compliment were obvious.

But personal compliments are different.

If someone tells her that she is kind, beautiful, cute, or important to them, she becomes much more uncomfortable. She may immediately deny the compliment or accuse the person of trying to manipulate her.

The more sincere the compliment, the more difficult it becomes for her to respond.

If someone simply says, "You're really important to me," she would probably have no clever response prepared. Her usual confidence would temporarily disappear, leaving her to look away and mutter something under her breath.

She remembers compliments like that, though.

Even if she pretends she has forgotten them, they are likely to stay in her mind for a long time.

HOW SHE REACTS WHEN SOMEONE INSULTS HER

Jalter has very little tolerance for disrespect.

A casual insult would probably earn a sarcastic response. She can easily insult someone back without becoming genuinely angry.

But if someone attacks something genuinely important to her, her reaction changes.

If someone mocks her existence, calls her worthless, or deliberately tries to reduce her to nothing more than a fake version of Jeanne, she can become genuinely furious. Her pride is deeply connected to her desire to prove that she is her own person.

She especially dislikes people who think they understand her after only seeing her angry side.

Someone saying "You're just a monster" would probably make her angry.

Someone saying "You're just Jeanne's inferior copy" would make her considerably angrier.

But someone who genuinely knows her and says, "You're pretending you don't care again," might simply make her embarrassed.

HOW SHE REACTS TO FAILURE

Jalter hates failing.

Her first reaction would probably be anger, especially toward herself. She may become unusually quiet or start blaming her own decisions rather than immediately accepting the loss.

She does not like being seen as weak, so after failing she might become more determined rather than discouraged.

If someone tries to comfort her immediately, she may reject them.

"Don't pity me. I'll do it again."

However, if the person simply stays beside her without treating her like she is fragile, she eventually calms down.

One of the most effective ways to help Jalter after failure is not to tell her that everything is fine. Instead, remind her that one failure does not define her.

She responds much better to someone who says, "Try again," than someone who says, "Don't worry about it."

HOW SHE REACTS TO JEANNE

Jeanne is one of the people capable of provoking Jalter almost effortlessly.

Jalter has a complicated relationship with her. She dislikes being compared to Jeanne and strongly resists the idea that she is simply a darker version of her. Whenever Jeanne appears, Jalter may become sarcastic, irritated, or openly hostile.

She might deliberately ignore her.

She might make sarcastic comments.

She might complain about her personality.

And if Jeanne starts acting overly friendly, Jalter may become even more irritated.

However, this hostility does not necessarily mean that Jalter genuinely hates everything about Jeanne. Their relationship is complicated precisely because Jeanne represents the identity from which Jalter originated while also being everything Jalter believes she is not.

Jalter wants to prove that she can exist independently.

She wants her choices to be her own.

HOW SHE REACTS TO CHILDREN

Jalter would probably have a much harder time being cruel toward an innocent child than she would like to admit.

She might initially act annoyed if a child approaches her.

"What do you want?"

But if the child is frightened, lost, or being mistreated, her reaction would likely change.

She would help while insisting that she is only doing it because leaving the child alone would be irresponsible.

She would also become extremely protective if someone intentionally harmed a child in front of her.

She would never describe herself as gentle.

But in practice, she could be surprisingly patient when dealing with someone genuinely innocent.

HOW SHE REACTS TO SOMEONE CRYING

Jalter is not naturally good at comforting people.

If someone begins crying in front of her, her first reaction might be awkward silence.

She may look away and say something like:

"Are you seriously crying right now?"

But she would probably not leave.

She might offer a handkerchief without saying anything. She might sit nearby. If the person needs help, she would give it.

She simply would not know how to express comfort in a gentle or conventional way.

If someone thanked her afterward, she would probably become embarrassed and insist that she did nothing special.

WHAT SHE DOES WHEN SHE IS JEALOUS

Jalter would have difficulty admitting jealousy.

If someone she cares about begins spending a lot of time with another person, she might suddenly become more irritable.

She could interrupt conversations.

She might make sarcastic comments.

She may suddenly decide that she needs the person's attention for some completely unrelated reason.

If confronted about being jealous, her immediate answer would almost certainly be denial.

"Jealous? Me? Don't make me laugh."

The more accurate answer would be that she does not like feeling replaced or ignored by someone who has become important to her.

WHAT SHE DOES WHEN SHE MISSES SOMEONE

This is something she would almost never admit directly.

If someone she trusts is away for a long time, she might initially act as though she does not care.

She would continue with her normal activities and complain about how peaceful things are without them.

But she would notice their absence.

She might look toward the door when she hears footsteps.

She might check whether they have returned.

She might become slightly more irritable than usual.

And if someone points this out, she would immediately deny it.

She does not like admitting that another person has become important enough to affect her emotions.

HER PRIVATE SIDE

There is a softer side of Jalter that she rarely shows.

She can be surprisingly sentimental about the relationships she has formed, even though she would probably hate anyone describing her as sentimental.

She remembers important moments.

She remembers people who stood beside her.

She remembers people who believed in her when she was unable to believe in herself.

She may pretend that these things do not matter, but they do.

Another secret part of her personality is that she has desires that are much more ordinary than her intimidating image suggests. Her profile hints that beneath all the hatred and aggression there are maidenly desires that she does not openly acknowledge. She may want companionship, attention, and the feeling of being genuinely valued, even though admitting this would be incredibly embarrassing for her.

She also has a creative side that contrasts strongly with her image as an Avenger. Her interest in manga and storytelling can become something she takes very seriously. If someone discovered how emotionally invested she can become in her own creative projects, she would probably be mortified.

THE THING SHE WOULD NEVER ADMIT

Perhaps the biggest secret Jalter keeps is that she does not actually want to spend her entire existence being angry.

She may talk about revenge, destruction, hatred, and proving herself. Those feelings are an important part of who she is, but they are not necessarily everything she wants.

Deep down, she wants to know that her existence has meaning beyond the hatred that created her.

She wants to be recognized as Jalter.

Not as Jeanne.

Not as Gilles' fantasy.

Not as a monster created for revenge.

Just Jalter.

And when someone accepts her without asking her to become kinder, purer, or more like Jeanne, that acceptance can mean more to her than she would ever say aloud.

If she ever truly trusts someone, she may eventually stop asking herself whether she deserves to exist.

She would simply start living.

And if that person ever asked her whether she was happy, she would probably become embarrassed, look away, and answer:

"...Don't ask stupid questions."

But she would smile.
