Celebrities

Joan of Arc, portrayed in the animated series Celebrities, is a fictionalized version of the historical French heroine and Catholic saint. Born in Domrémy, France, in the early 15th century, she claimed divine visions instructed her to support Charles VII and reclaim France from English domination during the Hundred Years' War.

In Celebrities, Joan of Arc retains elements of her historical persona, such as her unwavering faith and military leadership. However, the show often satirizes and exaggerates aspects of her story for comedic effect. She is frequently depicted as fiercely determined and occasionally eccentric.

While remaining a figure of courage and conviction, the Celebrities adaptation injects humor and absurdity into Joan of Arc's character, differentiating her from the more reverential portrayals found in historical accounts and traditional media.
