Ruler (ルーラー, ?), the Standard-Bearer who Correctly Guides the Holy Grail War (聖杯戦争を正しく導く旗手, Seihai Sensou wo Tadashiku Michibiku Kishu?), is the Ruler-class Servant in the Holy Grail War of Fate/Apocrypha.

Identity

Ruler's identity is Joan of Arc (ジャンヌ・ダルク, ?), a Catholic saint born in Domrémy, France, and the heroine of France who liberated Orléans in the Hundred Years' War.

She fought alongside with Gilles de Rais and they were decorated as saviors and national heroes by King Charles.

She is noted to be one of the Heroic Spirits in recent history who utilized the power of the Counter Force to accomplish her deeds as a hero.

Personality

She is taciturn and cool when acting as a Servant, but her natural self is a plain and quiet sixteen-year-old girl. She puts order first, and will wield a sword for the sake of the rules, but fundamentally believes "all people and Heroic Spirits participating in the Holy Grail War are important".

Fate/Apocrypha

She retains her role as Ruler in the novel reimagining of the setting, where she is shown saying “I am Ruler, by my name of Joan of Arc. I order with a command spell that the Servants shall gather in this place!”

Fate/Zero

While the design for Joan wasn't made during the production of the Fate/Zero novels, she is referenced by Caster, whose identity is her former comrade Gilles de Rais, who, in his crazed mind, mistakes Saber for Joan. He witnesses the battle between Lancer and Saber through his magic crystal, and believing that his wish of bringing Joan back to life was granted by the Holy Grail, he succumbs to tears. He believes Saber's denial of Joan's identity is a curse laid upon her by God, that her heart has been sealed through her devotion. She who gave everything to God was not given salvation by Him, so he wishes to "free" her by proving that no such God exists.

The design was completed around the time of the anime adaptation of Fate/Zero, so it was included in Caster's flashback. Recalling his past while bathed in the annihilating light of Excalibur, he remembers events before he began his forays into murder and the occult, back when he still served alongside Joan of Arc. She is shown standing at a church altar where she turns back to Caster and gives reaches her hand out to him, making him realize the mistakes of his life before he is destroyed.
