Dart Feld
I'll be waiting for youIf you still believe in love
Dart and Shana are from Celes, a small village. They have always been close friends, and Dart often saw Shana as a younger sister or someone he needed to protect. When the game starts, Dart is out in the forest areas and when he arrives back home, he witnesses soldiers attacking an innocent villager and fights and defeats them. The villager uses his last words to tell him to rescue Shana. Dart then meets up with Plos, the mayor of Seles, who tells Dart that Shana was captured by a mysterious hooded man. Seconds later, a Sandoria Commander appears and tells them that Shana was taken into custody at Hellena Prison. Dart defeats the Commander in the first boss battle of the game.
Feeling rested from their perilous journey so far, the trio head for Indels Castle in Bale. While travelling through the Limestone Cave--the last location before Bale--the three heroes must battle Urobolus, a giant, poisonus snake who guards the cave. Presuming the snake defeated, the group is suprised when it rises again and strikes at Shana. A mysterious light emenates from Shana's forehead and drives Urobolus away. She starts to feel faint but insists she can continue on.
Afterwards, they finally reach Indels Castle, where they meet King Albert and Minister Noish, who hold information about many things about Endiness. When Dart asks him about the Black Monster, the only thing Noish knows is that the monster is a "devil" who devours a "god." The three learn about about the Dragon Campaign, an ancient war between Humans and the powerful race of Winglies. At the end of the war, the Humans emerged victorious and "acquired the future." After a war briefing, Lavitz tells Dart and Shana about the Sandora's plan to use Feyrbrand to attack Hoax, a major stronghold in the duchy of Basil. Dart and Shana, no longer wanting to see anymore pointless bloodshed, decide to head with him to Hoax to end the civil war. Before they leave, Sir Lavitz suggests that the group visit his mother. By doing so, the two learn more about their new friend, and Dart develops a special bond with Lavitz.
Soon after, they leave Bale for the town of Hoax, which resembles a fortress. They meet Sir Kaiser, head of the Eighth Knighthood and discuss a battle plan for dealing with the coming forces. Leaving Shana behind to ensure her safety, Dart and Lavitz fight the Sandorian soldiers who invade Hoax. The enemies consist of two Sandora Soldiers, a Sandora Elite (who can create two images of himself but can be attacked by multiplying attack items), and a Giganto warrior known as Kongol. When Dart is about to deliver the final blow, Kongol counters and attempts to kill him. Just then, the swordswoman who had saved Dart from Feyrbrand appears in Dragoon form and awakens the Red-Eyed Dragoon Spirit. In an odd transformation, Dart stuns Kongol and is told by the warrior that he is a Dragoon and that her name is Rose. Rose and Shana do not get along well at first, but when Dart tells Shana that Rose is the one who saved him, Shana apologizes, and Rose forgives her--she is used to being detested. Inside the Volcano Villude, Shana, feels something calling to her and finds a Virage, a remnant living weapon from the Dragon Campaign. Dart protects her by fighting it and delivers the final blow. In the depths of the Vilude they encounter Dabas, a quirky merchant from the Commercial Town of Lohan. Continuing on their way, they are ambushed by the Fire Bird but defeat it with their Dragoon Spirits.
Shortly after, Shana is found to be inflicted with dragon's poison. Determined to save her life, Dart carries her to Lohan and hears about the Dragoni Plant from the doctor, but nobody knows where it grows. Dart, Lavitz, and Rose go back to the Dragon's Nest to find a solution, and they discover a way to a beautiful shrine. There, they face Drake the Bandit, the protector of Shirley's Shrine. After the battle, the spirit of Shirley appears and tests their hearts by transforming into the people they know and love. For Dart, she is Shana. She asks him about what is most important to him, Shana or the Black Monster. Dart responds "Shana," and she deems him worthy. After the test, Shirley gives them the White-Silver Dragoon Spirit to heal Shana. When they give her the spirit, Shana becomes a Dragoon and fully recovers. The tournament over, Lavitz convinces Dart to go on a "date" with Shana, and is given three tickets to play a variety of mini games. The two get a chance to talk alone. At this point, Hashel joins the quartet, still set on finding his daughter, Claire.
In the throne room, Albert tries to convince Doel to help him end the Serdian war once and for all, but Doel is still determined to take over the country. He then reveals that he was the one who murdered Carlos, the previous king, when Albert was a child. Angered by this revelation, Albert and the party prepare to take Doel down. Before the battle starts, Doel takes the Violet Dragoon Spirit and transforms into a powerful boss. The party struggle greatly against the mighty emperor, but are victorious. Before Doel dies, he tells the party about Lloyd, who was behind Shana's kidnapping, and that they should travel to Tiberoa to chase him down. With his final breath, he yields the Violet Dragoon Spirit and it chooses Haschel as it's next bearer. The group leave the castle and head to the city of Fletz.
Later, while on the ocean, Dart has a chance to speak with the members of his team and develop stronger relationships with them, particularly with Shana. During the night the Queen Fury encounters a phantom ship, which collides with it and causes damage. Shana feels drawn to the vessel and wanders onboard. Dart notices she is missing and alerts the others. On the ship are many ghouls and malicious spirits that attack the party, including a Magician Bogey. After many encounters the Bogey drops a key which allows access to a locked room. Inside the room are an undead ship's captain and some ghostly soldiers who claim that the Black Monster killed "Princess Louvia". Dart and his friends put the spirits to rest by defeating them. After the battle the team enter another room where they discover the ghost of a nursemaid, weeping over a baby carriage and mourning the loss of "Princess Louvia". The nursemaid looks up at Shana and calls her "Princess Louvia" before disappearing, but Shana and friends are confused.
Shana is once again kidnapped by Zieg and Dart once again, goes after her. He then finds out that Shana is the moonchild. He is shocked at this and demands that Shana is returned to him at once. Zieg doesn't care and disappears with Shana once again. After the entire ending, which I won't spoil, Dart and Shana return back to Seles, their hometown and begin their plan to help rebuild it.
