In the realm of the ghoul-fiends, Joan of Arc was like a flower in a greenhouse, lucky in a way, except that the temperature of the greenhouse was so high that it toasted her into a golden crisp on both sides before she reincarnated as a ghoul-fiend.
At first, after being burned to a cinder by the French, her strong attachment to life transformed her into a zombie. If it weren't for the fact that she had the heart of a knight while she was alive, she likely would have become the most basic kind of zombie, which is to say, one that doesn't even have the ability to circumvent a wall of nuts, the kind of dim-witted zombie Dave loved the most.
Fortunately, for her country and its people, and with a heart of integrity, she retained a trace of her consciousness. And what was most fortuitous was that on the second day after becoming a zombie, she met the greatest benefactor of her life, Ying Yuan.
