Personality: Joan has always been an odd ball. Through most of her childhood she was a loner, not entirely by choice. Being born just a few years before the war, her family moved a lot to try and avoid the advancing griffon army. She grew up always on the run, though all she wanted to do was turn and fight. She is often criticized for being audacious and outspoken. Choosing to rush into situations with little thought, she is also accused of being too naive and immature.

In reality Joan is a smart young woman who is tired of running from a fight. She is quick at learning, able to pink up almost anything just by watching. She never cared much for magic, until the day she discovered aura magic. Her parents instilled in her a sense of right and wrong, and to always help those who need it. This combined with her courageousness, means that she will never stand down from defending those in need.

Joan hears voices and sees visions of either a pony bathed in light or shrouded in darkness. She believes these to be from the princesses and feels she is chosen to lead the ponies to war and victory. At first she was scared and didn't tell anyone, but eventually she became confident in her beliefs and is not afraid to let anyone know, even griffons.

History: Joan was born to a tailoring family just a few years before the war. Her parents were well known in the world of Canterlot high society, yet they led normal, mundane lives. When war came, her parents could not fight, but they could help supply the armies. Thus, during the war they were constantly on the move, and Joan grew up without any pony else. This did not stop her from enjoying her childhood. Her parents were astonished that their daughter was always happy and carefree. The only problem was her lack of fear for anything. Many times her parents would need to step in and save her from some danger, and every time they did, Joan would just laugh and go back to playing.

Once Joan was old enough to understand what was going on with their homeland, she would pretend to be on a battlefield, leading the charge against the enemy. Her naivety became audacity as she grew older, never backing down from anything, even griffons. Her parents feared for her safety, and so once the war was almost lost, they moved to the outskirts of Manehatten, far from any camps. There they tried to make the best of their situation, and tried to calm Joan down.

Around the time Joan was reaching adolescence, she started hearing voices. At first they were faint, but eventually she could understand what they were saying. They told her that she was chosen to lead the ponies to war against the Griffons. She never told anyone, or even acknowledged that they existed until she was visited one day by a pony bathed in light who gave her the same message. When Joan protested, the being told her to go to the top of a hill, and there she will find her destiny. When she arrived at the place, she saw it; a sword half stuck in the ground, light seeming to radiate from it. It was at this time she knew what she must do.

Taking the sword, she told her parents of her destiny. While they were stunned by the news, she gathered her things and told them she will be going to Manehatten, to drive the griffons out.


Special Skills/Abilities/Spells Descriptions: Aside from the basic universal unicorn magics, Joan uses auras emanated from her horn. These can raise moral, bring courage to allies, calm fear, or even improve the skills and abilities of those around her. These auras come from a mixture of magic and her own feelings. They take no magical effort to maintain, however the potency and range depends on her own emotions. The more courageous and determined she is, the greater the aura and range. They only influence who Joan wants them to, so the enemy never receives a benefit. Because they run off of her emotional energy, as she tiers out or loses moral, the aura will become less effective.

Joan has yet to realize it, but her auras can also work the other way, bringing fear and lowering the moral of her enemies. This works the same, with the exception that it relies on her "killing intent", determination and fearlessness.
