The Dragoons
I hope you'll stayWhen tomorrow becomes today
Shana goes on a quest with the other dragoons. Below is some information about each and how they interact with Shana during the game.
Albert
The King of Basil. He inherited the throne after his father, Carlo, was assassinated by his brother, Doel. He was a good friend of Sir Lavitz Slambert, the captain of the First Knighthood. After Lavitz was killed by Lloyd, Albert became the new bearer of the Jade Dragoon Spirit. He then decided to travel with Dart's party to avenge Lavitz's death. He is also in search for the Moon Gem which was taken out of his back by Lloyd.
Throughout the tale, he grows ever more affectionate towards Princess Emille of Tiberoa and marries her at the end of the game. He regards Lavitz Slambert as his best friend and brother.
Albert is extremely intelligent and knows much about a variety of topics, with a focus on plants and politics. He is often criticized by the group for talking too much. They also consider him a bit of a nerd because of his obsession with knowledge and learning, his love of libraries in particular.
Haschel
Master Haschel is the master of the Rouge School of Martial Arts and Dart's grandfather, although that fact is unknown to both of them. He is a very strict teacher who demands much of his students and chastises them quickly when they make errors In contrast, however, he is an extremely jovial and fun-loving man off the battlefield. He leaves his home village of Rouge to go search for his lost daughter, Claire, who ran away from the village after she seriously harmed her partner in training. After she killed her, Haschel berated Claire for placing a "murderous intent" into her fist and she ran off.
When he left the village to go search for Claire, Haschel ran into Dart Feld, who was searching for the Black Monster, the two of them searched for their respective beings together for a time. The two men run into each other again in Lohan, where Dart and Haschel enter an Iron Man tournament. Haschel makes it to the semi-finals before he is beaten by Lloyd, placing third overall.
Lavitz
After successfully rescuing Shana from Helena Prison, Lavitz and Dart escape to a prairie where Lavitz is shot by an arrow. When they lose the Wardens, they hide in a shack for Lavitz to recover while Shana treats the injury. Dart then tells him and Shana about the Black Monster's attack on Neet, Mille Seseau, 18 years prior to the current events of the game. Lavitz then tells Dart and Shana that the Green-Tusked Dragon Feyrbrand had been used by Emperor Doel to attack any who oppose him. They decide to go to Indels Castle to inform King Albert about his freedom from Hellena by Dart and Shana.
He then travels with Dart and Shana for some time, going to Hoax Fortress to aid in the defense. They meet up with Rose and decide to travel to Lohan. On the way, Lavitz meets with Greham and immediately fights him to take revenge on behalf of his father and the soldiers slain by his treachery. After Greham is fatally wounded, Greham's Jade Dragoon spirit accepts Lavitz as its new host.
Lavitz travels as a Dragoon with Dart and Rose until they learn King Albert has been captured and brought to Hellena Prison. After the party infiltrates the prison once again, they arrive in the knick of time just before Albert is about to be killed by Fruegel, the chief warden of the prison. After the party defeats Fruegel, the Hooded Man appears to be removing an object from Albert's back. Albert faints and Lavitz becomes enraged. He charges at the mysterious man with his spear, changing into Dragoon form, but the hooded man pulls out a unique sword (The Dragon Buster) and fatally wounds Lavitz by striking him in the chest. It is then revealed that the Hooded Man is Lloyd.
After this event, Albert replaces Lavitz in battle, and the soldier is not seen again until the party reaches Mayfil. He is possessed by a devil and attacks, but Lavitz's own will gives him control over his body and he stabs himself in the chest. Before he fades away, he creates a pathway towards the last Signet Stone. At the end of the game, Dart places a glass of brandy on a desk with Lavitz's picture on it, thanking him for the advice he gave him in Lohan regarding Shana.
Meru
A young girl from Donau who enjoys dancing, laughing, and having fun, Meru is bright, perky, and cheerful. She decides to travel to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity with the group because of how dangerous it could be, and to rescue her friend, the Mayor's son, when he tries to negoitate releasing Donau from their grip.
After rescuing him, Meru tags along to help Princess Emile and to pursue Lloyd. She confronts Lenus, and, after her death, the Blue Sea Dragoon chooses her as host. She continues along with the group. However, when the group decides to go to Deningrad, Meru decides she needs to visit some old friends, and will catch up with the group later.
Miranda
The First Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau, Miranda is the Sister of Arms and in charge of the military at Deningrad. She is fully devoted to Queen Theresa, and brooks no errors in the defense of the castle, going so far as to slap soldiers when they are seized by panic.
She first meets the party when they are pursuing Lloyd, and, although she is hesitant of their abilities as Dragoons, Queen Theresa accepts them. Soon after meeting Shana, she collapses in the presence of the Sigil Stone and the White-Silver Dragoon Spirit chooses Miranda as its host. She is unsure of what to do with it, but accompanies the party as a representative of Deningrad and as a Dragoon.
She is fierce and strict, and hides knowledge of the Divine Moon Mirror until Lloyd abducts Queen Theresa. She leads them to where it is kept, and after the party rescues Theresa, the Queen tells Miranda to travel with Dart and accept her role as Dragoon.
Rose
Rose is the ancient Dragoon of Darkness from the Dragon Campaign. She fought for liberation of the humans from the tyrant Winglies. She is one of the only original Dragoons to survive the Dragon Campaign. The other surviving member is Zieg Feld, the old Red-Eye Dragoon, who is later revealed to be her lover. After the Dragon Campaign, the humans, among other things, destroyed the Crystal Sphere sealing the Virage of Destruction away. To prevent the destruction of the world, Rose was given a choker to make her immortal, and whenever the seed of the God of Destruction was borne into a human, the Moon Child, she was to eliminate it, along with anyone who came into contact or saw the baby, as they would become the creature's servants and assist the destruction of the world. For thousands of years, Rose set herself to this task, the most recent victim being the village of Neet, the hometown of Dart.
At first, Shana doesn't trust Rose and sees her as too mysterious and threatening. Once Shana learns that Rose saved Dart's life, she becomes very thankful and wishes that she could be the tough warrior that Rose is. Naturally, she looks up to her. Rose ultimately sacrifices herself to allow Shana to escape.
