Trivia

 * Jeanne is based on the real-life French national heroine, Joan of Arc. While Jeanne is cocky, Joan was virtuous.
 * As a reference to Joan, her hair will go bald after being defeated in her own Deathmatch stage.


 * Jeanne is the first fighting game character to use a whip sword, followed by Ivy of Bandai Namco's Soulcalibur series.


 * In the Japanese version of World Heroes Perfect, Jack's win quote reveals that she's a virgin. He comments on her blood tasting like one. This is another reference to Joan of Arc.


 * In ADK World, Jeanne comments on how Shura and Captain Kidd aren't exactly at the same level she is.


 * Though rendered as "Janne" through the entire World Heroes series, her name is apparently supposed to be "Jeanne", hence the change in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy.


 * Jeanne's appearance in SNK Heroines marks the first time that a World Heroes character is playable in a crossover game since Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, which featured Hanzo, Fuuma, Mudman and Neo Dio.


 * Garou: Mark of the Wolves planner and The King of Fighters XIV/XV producer Yasuyuki Oda states that Jeanne is his favorite character in the World Heroes series.
