I wanted to thank everyone posting the White Mage lore in this thread too. It has really helped me polish out my alt White Mage and even gave me more RP opportunity to have her strive to to becoming a White Mage instead of being one at start.
While I don't normally want to be a "sparkly magic special person" I will still be making her a White Mage at some point, regardless of how restricted and rare they are "supposed" to be.
Back on topic: Good luck with your character background Devin. It is definitely a unique look at using specific classes.
As for the Dragoon, Iseldia is from Ishgard and her main strive will be to become a Dragoon, however as others have recommended in this thread. Not every Dragoon HAS to be Ishgardian. Your friend could have encountered one in travels or even on a darker side: the Empire could have kidnapped a Dragoon and forced him to train your friend (and other Imperials) in the arts.
