List of Darling in the Franxx characters

Below is a list of characters in the Japanese anime & movie television series Darling in the Franxx by Code:000.

Squad 13
A squad of ten Parasites who are the main characters of the series. The Squad is based out of Plantation 13, living within their home area, Mistilteinn (ミストルティン), colloquially referred to as the Birdcage. Squad 13 is unique, most notably for their individually designed Franxx. The squad is also notable for referring to each other by names rather than their code numbers. These names are based on Japanese readings of their code numbers.

Pilots of Strelizia
Strelizia (ストレリチア) is the Franxx piloted by Hiro and Zero Two. It is equipped with a giant spear called "Queen Pike" to battle with klaxosaurs. Although humanoid in appearance when piloted by a male-female pair, Strelizia takes the form of a quadruped beast when piloted by Zero Two alone.
 * Code:016 (コード:016) Hiro (ヒロ)
 * Once called a prodigy, he is now a dropout pilot cadet after "losing" his ability to synchronize with his partner in the Franxx. So far, he is the only male able to pilot Strelizia with Zero Two without taking damage. It is revealed that Hiro was once a leader among the children and the one responsible for naming them, as well as asking the adults a lot of questions, although they never give an answer; he also witnessed Zero Two undergoing painful testing and the two ran away together as children, even going as far as to make a promise to get married when they become adults. Before they were captured and separated, Hiro licked Zero Two's blood from a cut, affecting his aptitude performance and making him incompatible with anyone except for Zero Two. He also slowly grows horns and develops other klaxosaur characteristics. Their memories of each other were then erased.
 * Although regarded as a genius, Hiro was looked down upon as a disappointment until he reunited with Zero Two and became the Strelizia's official stamen after being the only partner to survive riding with her three times. Hiro gradually recovered his memories of their past. Hiro admits to Zero Two that he has always been in love with her and they begin a relationship, as well as vowing to fulfill their promise. In the final battle against the klaxosaurs, Hiro is forcibly connected with the Klaxosaur Princess and finds out the true enemy is VIRM, led by Papa, which intends to destroy the planet if necessary to eliminate the klaxosaurs. Zero Two saves Hiro and they join forces with the klaxosaurs to force the VIRM to retreat. However, he finds that Zero Two is catatonic because she mentally linked with Strelizia to battle the VIRM in space. He makes the choice to join the battle to rescue her. After they reconnect, they overpower VIRM, who retreats again, and the two leave in a warp gate but promise to return to their friends. To defeat the VIRM and protect the future of their friends, they sacrifice themselves and detonate the VIRM home planet. At some point in the future, Hiro and Zero Two are reincarnated into two children who meet in the final episode.

 * Code:002 (コード:002) Zero Two (ゼロツー) 9'℩ (ナインイオタ)


 * An elite pilot belonging to APE's special forces, Zero Two is a mysterious and rebellious girl often referred to as a monster due to her red horns and klaxosaur blood. She is also known as the "partner killer" as all partners who pilot Strelizia with her always die after riding three times with her at most, with Hiro being the only exception. She always refers to Hiro as her "darling". Her true age is unknown but her ultimate wish is to become fully human so she can reunite with an important person from her past, which turned out to be Hiro. Since she was a child, she was inspired by a book called "The Beast and the Prince", which she notes is similar to the circumstances of her and Hiro. She begins creating her own version of the story, but intentionally leaves the last page blank because of the likelihood she may have to part ways with Hiro.
 * She later finds out she is a clone of the Klaxosaur Princess created by Dr. Franxx. When Hiro is forced to link with the princess, Zero Two is able to mentally connect with Strelizia to save him and stop VIRM from destroying the planet but this left her body catatonic. Mentally, she continued fighting VIRM in a galactic battle in space. She and Hiro reconnect, allowing Zero Two to merge with Strelizia, becoming the Strelizia True Apus, and overpower the VIRM. She and Hiro then part ways with their friends but promise to return. In the final episode, Zero Two and Hiro are nearly defeated but they sacrifice themselves to destroy the VIRM home planet and free the souls trapped by VIRM. At some point in the future, they are reincarnated into two children.

To overthrow the Klaxosaur Princess and kill the parasites, he sends VIRM to try to destroy them and absorb their souls. Papa goes as far as to demand the surviving members of humanity to merge with VIRM to eliminate further discrimination and hatred, but everyone rejects this.

The five supreme commanders of the human dominion organization, APE. They wear white clothes and metal masks, and are led by an individual called "Papa" (パパ).

Nines
Nines is a special and defense force directly subordinate to APE and Zero Two's former unit, which originally appeared as a result of attempts to create functional pairs from her DNA. In their pairs, pistils and stamens change places, which together with their "genderness" means them as an alternative to traditional heterosexual relationships in other pairs. In this regard, all members of the squad have an underlined androgynous appearance and fundamentally avoid any gender roles in their behavior.

He is interested in Hiro for being the sole partner to survive riding with Zero Two. He is also interested in Ichigo for her pride and dignity. He believes that humans don't need either genders or emotions, and finds procreation to be repulsive. He is fiercely loyal to Papa and looks down upon Squad 13, to the point he causes trouble for them to disrupt their happiness and form a rift with Zero Two. When Papa reveals his true identity and betrays everyone by trying to kill them, Alpha becomes ill due to “lack of maintenance” and begins to question Papa’s intentions. He decides to aid Squad 13 in the final battle against VIRM and sacrifices himself to save Hiro, whom he credits for teaching him what it means to be human.
