Either she's very young or the penny dropped about 30 seconds later. Sigh. Real women warriors don't wear brass bikinis, or even a female version of the Greek stylised fake macho muscle man breastplates (the Greek warriors didn't look so impressive without them). Even the ancient Celts wore armour. It was only a few mad cultists that were naked. Ancient Norse and Celts had female warriors. They dressed same as the men.
That's why Jean d' Arc's trial was fake. All woman warriors then wore men's armour with padding lower to make it comfy. Even English people objected at the trial. A major charge was wearing male clothing. It was a classic the verdict is going to be execution, so let us make up charges.
