The Weißer Drache (White Dragon) acts as a divine guardian deity within the narrative, intrinsically tied to a parallel world resembling 11th-century Japan. It selects Karin Takakura, a modern high school girl, as its priestess to restore balance to the collapsing capital of Kyou. This collapse stems from political strife between the Emperor and Retired Emperor, coupled with pervasive spiritual corruption. The dragon first manifests during Karin's initial summoning, transporting her from the modern world to Kyou. It communicates through dreams and visions, urging her to embrace her role as Priestess of the Dragon God and emphasizing her duty to purify the land by uniting the Eight Guardians. Its interventions include delivering cryptic warnings about impending threats, such as dark forces and vengeful spirits manipulated by antagonists like Akram and Chitose. Throughout Karin's journey, the dragon bestows dragon gems upon each of the Eight Guardians once they pledge to protect her. These gems cement their bond with the priestess and amplify their elemental abilities in combat against supernatural threats. The dragon's power manifests directly during critical battles, such as when Karin unconsciously channels its energy to vanquish a Chigatana spirit, proving her legitimacy as the true priestess. The dragon's guidance remains indirect yet persistent, often reiterating the urgency of Karin's mission through the paradoxical messenger Akram, despite his ambiguous allegiance. It stresses that her success depends on gathering the guardians and mastering her purification abilities before the capital's destruction. Later, the dragon's influence connects directly to the weakening fabric of the world, where escalating political discord fuels malevolent spirits, necessitating Karin's growth and unity with the guardians. Official media details no personal history or physical form for the dragon beyond spectral manifestations. Its role focuses solely on prophetic guidance, empowering the priestess and guardians, and preserving the realm's spiritual integrity.
