Her teeth are yellowed and unaligned.

Personality: She can speak with the recently deceased. She is skeptical of what others tell her and is slow to trust.

History: Her history is one of pain. She was disowned by both parents and raised among the slaves her parents kept. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the desert to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the desert due to the painful memories there. Joan took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up rapier and armor she uses now. She remains aloof and afraid to be herself due to all the ideals others have placed upon her.
