Hello, I'm Northern Manitoba. ✨️

My pronouns are he/him or they/them.

You can call me North or Churchill. I'm an adult. I'm Indigenous. I'm Red River Métis. Yes, I really live here.

I felt like the gimmick Canadian blogs needed some Indigenous flair. 🧡 and who better to serve than Manitoba, who has the highest population.

My blogsona looks like:

Joan of Arc was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years. She embodied the natural goodness and valour of the human race in unexampled perfection. Unconquerable courage, infinite compassion, the virtue of the simple, the wisdom of the just, shone forth in her. She glorifies as she freed the soil from which she sprang.

- Sir Winston Churchill, The Birth of Britain

What Joan of Arc looked like has always been a contentious debate. In terms of Joan’s appearance, historians have hardly anything to go on. The only image that remains from Joan’s lifetime is merely a doodle, made in the margins of French parliamentary notes by Clément de Fauquembergue, who had never seen her in real life.

There is also a statue head from a church in Orléans. The statue dates to the 15th century, and given Joan’s association with the city and the feminine appearance, for many years historians believed this might be a depiction of her. But some historians dispute this.

Luckily, we do have many descriptions of the ferocious maiden. We know that she was short - probably around 5’ 2”, and very muscular with a strong neck. She had dark hair, cropped short with bangs similar to the men’s hairstyles at the time. Artistic depictions of Joan actually popularised the bob hairstyle in the early 20th century. Her eyes were described as “large, dark, and grave”, and matched her skin tone, which was tan and sunburned from her time outdoors.
