Plot

On the continent of Arc Strada, civilians called Breeders raise and train their Parrs (スティード, lit. steed), dragons bonded to Breeders via a magical link called an Astral Flow. Races of dragons are born from Breeders who are deemed worthy and marked with Seikoku (西谷義, lit. Star Brand) at a young age by the Mother Dragon at the Orphan Rite. Breeders may eventually achieve the rank of nobility by helping their Pal become a Maestro, or Holy Dragon.

Learning to ride and tame dragons comes easily to most students at Ansarivan Dragonar Academy—except for Ash Blake, a first-year student who is known by his classmates as the "problem child". Despite Ash having an unusually large star brand that marks him as a future dragon master, his Pal had never appeared, until now. While challenging a fellow student, Princess Silvia Lautreamont, to a dragon race, Ash's dragon appears, but in a form different than any dragon ever seen before—a beautiful girl. Ash names her ″Eco″ and soon discovers that this new dragon has attitude to spare, as she promptly informs him that she is the master, and he, her servant. Ash's problems with dragon riding have only just begun.

Characters

Main characters

Ash Blake (アッシュ・ブレイク, Asshu Bureiku)

Voiced by: Kōji Takahashi (Drama CD/Anime)[2] (Japanese); Aaron Dismuke (English)

A 16-year-old student at the academy whose dragon Pal hasn't awakened. He is known as a problem child due to his tendency to react violently to any perceived insult to his yet-to-be-born dragon. Despite his poor reputation, he has an unusual talent—a phenomenon called Chalice that makes him the only human (aside from his sister, Linda) able to ride other people's dragons. As a child he had no interest in becoming a Breeder, but he met Silvia Lautreamont—who was determined to be a Breeder—by chance during the Orphan Rite and assisted her in finding the Mother Dragon. After finding the Mother Dragon, he is chosen to become a Breeder; not Silvia. He was given the dragon Pal (later named Eco) by the Mother Dragon who was aware of his ability to ride any dragon.

After saving the town during the Necromancia incident, he is deified as the Arch-bearing "Silver Knight", which corresponds to a noble rank. He is later knighted by Paladin Oswald, granting him the title Dragona shortly after accepting the position of student council general affairs. He is also called the Knight of Avalon due to him being Eco's master. In his second year, he takes the student council president position where he becomes the founder of The Independent Order of the Avalon Knights.

Eco (エーコ, Ēko)

Voiced by: Mariya Ise (Drama CD/Anime)[2] (Japanese); Lara Woodhull (English)

Eco is a special dragon Pal, who takes the form of a human girl. Although she develops a fondness for Ash, she treats him as though he was her servant, much to his annoyance. Eco is fully aware that Ash is her master and that she is the "pet" (as she describes herself), but she doesn't want to admit it because of her pride. She also believes that if she submits that she will be nothing but a "tamed pet" and will never be loved as anything more than just a pet, which is not the kind of love she wants from Ash. Eco accesses Dragweiss, a place where she can gathers the ability to give Ash a magical suit of armor known as an Ark and when she does, they also receive an Ark Weapon infused with elemental power.

She is later revealed to be the Imperial Princess of the Emperor's Family of Avalon's Holy Dragons, and her full name is Eco Aurora-Christa Pendragon Lena Anherusu-Ilya Roransu Liliane-Muriel-Octavia-Robertine de la Rosa Resuperansu van de Compostela Avalon. According to the Mother Dragon, Eco is both human and dragon. This was arranged in order for her to breed with Ash and save the dragon race from extinction.

Fourth princess of the Lautreamont Knight Family and a Dragonar. Her Pal is a white Maestro Dragon named Lancelot. It is revealed that she wasn't supposed to become a Dragonar, but she did when Ash yielded Lancelot to her when the two of them met as children during the Orphan Rite. Neither of them remember meeting nor the subsequent events. Silvia soon joins the student council with Ash and is in charge of public morals. She is completely terrified of her older sister, Veronica, but overcomes her fears when Veronica recognizes her skills. Despite Silvia being the 4th child of the King, her older siblings are either not interested in politics, or have gone missing, which has left her as heir-presumptive to the throne.

During their second visit to Albion Forest to search for the Mother Dragon as part of an examination, Silvia and Ash regain their lost memories. Silvia finally realizes the magnitude of everything that Ash has done for her, such as giving up Lancelot and getting injured in the process, and so she declares her love for him and kisses him, causing her to quarrel with Eco. In later volumes, Silvia also becomes an Arch Dragonar and vice president of the academy.

She became the first Breeder of the land of Chevron with her Pal Tristan and became an exchange student at the academy. She has an eye-patch maid named Celestine. When they were introduced, Oscar and Ash were initially on bad terms because Oscar forcibly took Eco for strength to obtain her throne.

Lautreamont Knight Country

Lautreamont Royal Family

Oswald Lautreamont (オズワルド・ロートレアモン, Ozuwarudo Rōtoreamon)

Voiced by: Takaya Hashi (Anime) (Japanese); Barry Yandell (English)

The head of the Lautreamont family and the current ruler of the country, called the Paladin. He is a widower and a very cheerful man who dotes on his children but is often scolded by Silvia, which he seems to enjoy—it reminds him of Silvia's late mother Elizabeth. He asks to meet Ash at the continental congress and grants Ash knighthood but warns him not to pursue a relationship with Silvia. The Paladin was unable to bear seeing his only son Julius killed for the crime of murdering his dragon, and so he banished Julius instead without realizing the reasons behind his son's actions.

Veronica Lautreamont (ヴェロニカ・ロートレアモン, Veronika Rōtoreamon)

Voiced by: Aya Endo (Anime) (Japanese); Martha Harms (English)

First princess of the Lautreamont family and the eldest of the four sisters. Nicknamed the Iron Blood Valkyrie, Veronica always wears her armor except while bathing or sleeping. Silvia is terrified of her due to the harsh training Veronica subjected her to when she was little. Although Veronica was not selected as a Breeder, she decided to train her body and hone her swordsmanship to compensate for the lack. Despite her harsh treatment of Silvia, she loves her sister dearly and, according to Julius, even has pictures of Silvia and a Silvia doll in her room. She apparently does not respect her father and wishes for Silvia to be the next Paladin, the country's ruler, telling her to "try to make me kneel before you".

Julius Lautreamont (ジュリアス・ロートレアモン, Juriasu Rōtoreamon)

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Anime) (Japanese); David Trosko (English)

The only son of the Lautreamont family. He was supposedly executed for the charge of slaughtering his own dragon but was secretly spared and exiled by Oswald instead. The reason he killed his dragon was because he realized that his dragon, Mordred, was the reincarnation of an evil dragon. Unfortunately, this caused Mordred's spirit to possess him, thus creating the persona of Milgauss. He was later freed when Mordred chose to possess Eco instead.

Cassandra Lautreamont (カサンドラ・ロートレアモン, Kasandora Rōtoreamon)

Second daughter of the Lautreamont family, currently missing.

Mirabel Lautreamont (ミラベル・ロートレアモン, Miraberu Rōtoreamon)

She has a cold but calm demeanor and is usually seen drinking tea even in the middle ceremonies or meetings. According to Silvia, she is a scholar who is studying and doing research abroad. She became Ansarivan's principal on Veronica's orders to watch over Eco, but she admits that she came for another reason and that she does not care for Veronica's orders. According to Ash, she does not seem to respect Veronica at all, having referred to her eldest sister a "muscle freak".

Dragons

Navi (ナヴィー, Navī)

Voiced by: Yui Sakakibara (Drama CD/Anime) (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)

Navi is the overseer of the Dragon Workshop and has access to all of the knowledge of past dragons. She appears as an older version of Eco. She is later revealed to be the incarnation of the Dragweiss, the repository of all dragon knowledge. Once Eco matures, she will absorb Navi, thus gaining access to the full knowledge, wisdom, and power of the Dragweiss. By doing so, she will direct the future of the dragon race.

Mordred (モルドレッド, Morudoreddo)

Voiced by: Takaya Kuroda (Anime) (Japanese); Chris Rager (English)

Mordred was the dragon Pal of Prince Julius Lautreamont. As his dragon grew older, Julius discovered that Mordred had a malevolent aspect to his personality that was born from his ancestral memory as a descendant of the dark kingdom of Nehalennia and that it was slowly taking him over. To that end, Mordred conspired with the prince to kill himself, hoping that it would also kill his evil side.

Unfortunately, Mordred's evil side was able to escape the death of its body and possess Julius. When the Paladin spared Julius's life, he unwittingly allowed Mordred to survive as well. Mordred later tries to possess Eco in order to fully revive himself, but Navi resists his attack, which allows Ash and Eco to defeat and forcefully expel him. His spirit flees and is last seen flying to the east. In the manga series, Mordred is actually a female who looks like a Lolli girl.

Nuada (ヌァザ, Nwaza)

A legendary dragon, Nuada was resurrected by Milgaus to fight Ash and his friends. According to his legend, he was the Pal of a sick girl. Believing his master was about to die, Nuada cut off his Astral Flow with her. Astral Flow is the link that allows a dragon to absorb Astral—the magical energy required by all things to survive but no longer produced by extremely magical races like dragons and elves—from its rider. Nuada left for the Willingham Mausoleum, where he died alone, not realizing his master had recovered.

Mother Dragon (マザー・ドラゴン, Mazā Doragon)

Voiced by: Fumi Hirano (Anime) (Japanese); Linda Leonard (English)

The Mother Dragon is an unseen presence in the world. Despite being called the Mother Dragon, she claims that she is not actually the mother of dragons, but merely a system that distributes dragons to deserving Breeders.

Only people with the ability to become Breeders are able to see her, and she chooses who and who will not become Breeders during the Orphan Rite. She was created by a wise dragon in order to save their kind after an accident took away the ability of magical races such as dragons and elves to produce Astral, which brought the dragon race to the brink of extinction. Only recently has the Mother Dragon realized that she is dying. She christens a dragon with a human form (Eco) so that Eco can bear children with a human and save the dragon race.
