It is unbelievable to know that she at the age of 16 listened to her inner voice and prepared herself to take the most dangerous step in life of becoming a soldier though was born as a daughter of a peasant. She had great victories, crowned Charles, a king and died as a martyr at the age of 19.She got freedom for Orleans and was captured by Germans and sold to English and underwent a prejudiced trial. She was considered to have obliged to evil commands and was burnt. She attained Saint hood later!. She is an epitome of female bravery, egoless soul, faith in God, values, and determination.

Very fine--"epitome of valor", yes, and more: as Mark Twain put it,"she was honorable, in an age that had forgotten the very word". His biography of her is quite interesting; you should at least read the excerpt in the blog TheformofMoney; you can get that by clicking on the blue and white portrait of her in the Wikipedia images, a few to the left of yours. If you are looking for a model or inspiration, you can't do much better than her.
By the way, I live in New Orleans, in the USA; named after the city that gave her her famous "maid Of Orleans" title. She is our city's paatron saint.
Dennis glad you stumbled here to read and comment.Thank you very much for your valuable input. Many in Asia do not know much about her. I've just introduced her here for many people to search for more information.
