Joan is a pious, sweet French girl who loves Our Lady, Mary. She is seen praying, gardening, and talking about God. 

There is talk of war, but nothing intense is mentioned or implied. Mild insults are tossed about in the crowd.

This episode is rated “Everyone” but other episodes in this series are rated “7+.” You may not want to begin this series if your child is very sensitive to depictions of war or dramatic arguments between Joan and the French generals which occur in later episodes.
