Wait . . . A book series with Western-style dragons has a character named Madoka? I might actually have to check this out. (I've seen Japanese characters in steampunk before, but only in webcomics, not in published books. Not that I've seen a lot of published books use steampunk . . .)

Basic plot of the main book: Faux!Russia/England is at war with faux!Asia (basically a mixup of Japan, Korea and a little bit of China). Faux!Russia has the sentient (female identifiying) metal dragons.
Madoka is one of the POV character in the third book, and she is from faux!Asia. The second book also has two POV character from Faux!Asia.

not Japan. A pretend!Asia where all the stereotypes one might come up with from watching a lot of anime and travel programs about East Asian countries are mashed together, so that the writers don't have to do actual research about history but also don't have to create anything new.

The sad thing about this: At least one of the authors studied it at college and wrote her thesis about Japanese monsters. Which is why I was kind of irritated that the two princes from the same family had such different names - one Japanese and one clearly Korean-coded. That was weird.
