You're right, which is why instead of saying:
"There are no NPCs to support the idea of a miqo'te dragoon."
I will say:
"There is no lore to support the idea of a miqo'te dragoon."
Sure there is. Play one and go through the dragoon questline. Nobody acts as if what's going on is extraordinary at all. After you complete the questline, no NPC you come across behaves as if you're unusual.
That in itself is lore.Â
There's no evidence that suggests any race isn't represented among dragoons or plausible as being an upstanding citizen of Ishgard.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Ergo, you can't rationally conclude that they aren't allowed simply because the game doesn't tell you they ARE allowed. The game's dialogues lack any indication of it not being acceptable or ordinary.
If we're going to BS it and cram the MSQ in there, canonically the WoL is a midlander man, so no, that is not part of lore.

That's great, but this thread is about roleplaying dragoons, so we'll discuss roleplaying dragoons.
roleplay?
