Story

Chapter 1: Serdian War
She is overlooking a forest landscape, watching the destructive route of the Dragon Feyrbrand. Using incredible agility, she jumps down the cliffside and enters the forest. When she approaches the dragon, she finds a young man in red armor, being harassed by the creature. Rose is able to sweep Dart out of the dragon's sight before he is killed. The dragon leaves and Rose confirms that the dragon is part of a war and mentions that its presence was not necessary to destroy Seles. Dart exclaims that that's his child hood home and sprints off to salvage whatever remains. As Rose watches him leave, her purple gem begins to glow, much to her surprise. She thoughtfully watches the warrior's path.

As the fourth member of the party, Rose rescues Dart and Lavitz during the battle at Hoax. She calls upon Dart's Father's Memento, and triggers him into transforming into a knight of legend; a Dragoon. Dart is then able to defeat Kongol, though Rose is not impressed after the fight. She agrees to train Dart so that they may continue on and be able to defeat the dragon fighting on behalf of the Sandora Empire. This begins a dragoon tutorial.

While traveling to the dragon, the party goes through the Volcano Villude. There, Rose maneuvers the party past the Fire Bird and deep though the caverns. Shana suddenly breaks from the party, mentally compelled or "called" by a stone statue in the lava. The party investigates and Rose warns them that the statue is a Virage that is still alive. Just as humans used dragoons, Rose explained, Winglies used Virage during the Dragon Campaign. The Virage is then awakened by the nearby aura of Dart and Rose's dragoon spirits and a battle commences.

The party continue through the forest and Fort Marshland towards the dragon, with Rose providing minor commentary throughout. They are able to defeat Greham and Feyrbrand, but Shana's spirit is sickened by the the dragon's poison and is rushed to Lohan. As she is unable to be cured by the local doctor, the group venture to a nearby temple and meet an old friend of Rose's, Shirley. There is no Dragoni plant in the temple to cure Shana, but Shirley provides her White Silver Dragoon Spirit, as it has healing properties. Shirley assures Rose that their paths will cross again and that her agonizing journey will end as she ascends to the land of the dead, no longer bound by the dragoon spirit. Rose continues to look up to where Shirley was last as Dart and Lavitz walk away, silent.

With Shana healed, the party prepare to enter the Hero Competition to test their mettle against all other heroes of Endiness. In the end only Dart joins - Rose declines, saying that she's too good. After the event, Rose is introduced to Dart's old master and competition participant Haschel and scoffs at his flippant manner. She is shortly after aggravated by Lavitz, who tries to drag her off on a date to encourage Dart and Shana to play minigames together. She punches Lavitz and he begs her to play along, which she apparently doesn't as they are seen in two different areas.

The levity turns grave as a wounded knight crawls into Lohan, telling Lavitz that King Albert has been captured and is held captive in Hellena Prison. Informed by Haschel that the Kingdom of Bale is also under Sandoran occupation, the party regroup and rush to King Albert's rescue. They are able to defeat the head warden Fruegel, but during the fight, The Hooded Man, now revealed as hero competition champion Lloyd, is able to kill Lavitz in one fell swoop with what Rose recognizes as a Dragon Buster. The party hide King Albert in Seles and discuss their next steps, as Albert no longer has access to his army to fight Sandora. King Albert advises that they attack Emperor Doel at the Black Castle directly using their power as dragoons, and Rose agrees to accompany the party. The defeat of the emperor does not clarify why Lloyd requested Shana to be captured, stole the Moon Gem from Albert, and wields a Dragon Buster, however. The emperor's dying words are for King Albert to seek Lloyd in Tiberoa, which is the party's next destination.

Abilities

All Dragoons can use either their D'Attack or Magic during combat. For an in depth explanation of Dragoon Additions including damage formulas, see: D'Attack. Similarly, Dragoon Magic covers the damage formula for spells.
Note: The "STR %" shown when selecting spells in game is not used in the damage calculation. Instead they could be used to gauge the strength of spells in relation to one another for that specific character, but some of the values contain errors and so generally cannot be considered reliable. The Multiplier value for the spells below is the actual variable used in the damage calculation.

Dark Dragon DS	Multiplier	Target	Effect	Cost	Acquisition
Astral Drain	200	Single Enemy All Allies	Inflicts  Darkness -elemental magic damage. If target ally's HP is not 0 and they are not Petrified: restore (floor{Damage dealt to enemy / [# of party members whose HP is not 0 and not Petrified]}) HP	10	Initial
Death Dimension	100	All Enemies	Inflicts  Darkness -elemental magic damage and 100% chance to inflict Fear.	20	D'level 2
Demon's Gate	-	All Enemies	100% chance to inflict Instant Death.	30	D'level 3
