Original Paragraph:
There is no record of what Joan of Arc looked like. The colour of her eyes, the colour of her hair, her height, her weight, her smile, none of it is described until later. The face of the heroine is blank; her physical presence is unknown. From the days when she was alive, all we know of her body is that she was about nineteen in 1431, as she told her examiners at the trial; that she had a light, feminine voice; and that on the day of her death at Rouen, she was shown to the crowd to be a woman.
Now I am going to tell in my own words what I think Joan of Arc looked like:
I think when she was about nineteen she had dark red hair, green eyes, and alot of freckles. She weighed about 130 pounds and was about 5'4". She had very fair skin, almost white. This is how I imagine Joan of Arc.

I like the specificity of your personal picture of Joan. I think you'll enjoy the two fictional versions of her life we read later in the year.
