joan of arc being a woman doesnt have to be demoting for jaun, she IS the Saint of Soldiers and she did at one time dresss as a man because they were 'more comfortable' ad 'more battle-suitable/worthy' than a long, tripping skirt. she was also forced to wear men's clothes during her jail time in ol' England and so they accused her of cross-dressing, even though someone took her female clothes and she could only wear male clothes

now, i dont wanna go into a lore arguement about Holy Women and im not saying Jaune is a cross dresser or a woman dressed as a man, but i think its pretty neat to be named after a Saint for Soldiers, wether it be man/woman, and share similar traits with that saint:

Both Leaders

Went through hard times

Lead soldiers

same-ish name (Jaune is pronounced Jaun rhymes with Shaun, Joan is pronounced Joan rhymes with Moan)

high faith, Jaune has heaps of Aura and Joan had a lot of faith in the gods, and extremely good luck to win almost all of her battles against the english

similar weapons, favor the traditional 'classical' sword and shield

started off small, Joan was a small peasant girl from the country side then she bwecame a leader of french army. Joan was a lowly......citizen i guess but then a few fake transcripts and early access to beacon later and he is battle worthy and a qualified leader for team JNPR.
