Jeanne Hachette

Why she kicks ass:

• When a snooty Disgraced French Duke came to conquer her town, with his army of degenerative psychopaths. This teenaged peasant grabbed a hatchet and buried it in his throat, kicked him square in the chest, and sending him flying off the very high wall to his death below. 
• she pulled his flag up out of the ground, broke the flagpole over her knee and hurled it down into the moat on top of him.
• King Louis XI,  threw a parade for her, lavished her with gifts, and gave her the right to marry the man of her choosing.
• In celebration of her heroism a parade known as the “Procession of the Assault” takes place every year on the anniversary of the battle.
