List of Darling in the Franxx characters

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, 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

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.;9'α
