Mnemonic symbol: 甲 just looks like a protest placard.
It's the first (甲) time Joan of Arc (ji) is protesting against something using a protest placard (甲). Inside of the ashram (a3), she is protesting against the many dinosaur bones (丨) lying around. She does not only have a protest placard, she also uses a microphone (曰) to deliver raging speeches.

I tried this follow-up prompt (using ChatGPT these days): "Nice! Have her hold the microphone in one hand and the protest placard in the other. No third arm please." But no luck, it came out exactly as this one, lol
