Squad 13 from Darling in the Franxx is the main group of young Parasite pilots (artificially created child soldiers) based at Plantation 13. They are around 14–15 years old at the start and pilot unique Franxx mechs. They refer to each other by names (given mostly by Hiro) rather than codes.0 Here’s a breakdown of the core Squad 13 members, focusing on appearance (hair, eyes, build), personality, and other notable traits: Hiro (Code:016) • Appearance: Average build and height with a slim male physique. Straight black hair in a razored haircut, rich blue eyes. Later develops blue horns, fangs, glowing blue eyes, and blue skin tones due to “saurification” from piloting with Zero Two.38 • Personality: Initially a prodigy who becomes insecure after failing to pilot. Kind, caring, philosophical, hardworking, and determined. Curious about the world and grows rebellious against the system. Deeply devoted, especially to Zero Two—he finds purpose through their bond. • Role: Main protagonist, pilots Strelizia with Zero Two. Names many squad members. Zero Two (Code:002 / Nine Iota) • Appearance: Slender, athletic, and tall for a girl. Waist-length pink hair with straight bangs, red horns (sometimes filed down), and a white headband. Sharp turquoise eyes with rings around the pupils and pinkish-red markings on the canthi. Klaxosaur features become more prominent at times (red sclera, larger horns).10 • Personality: Rebellious, mischievous, playful, and teasing (“partner killer” reputation). Craves humanity and connection. Fiercely loving and protective toward Hiro, with a darker, violent side from her traumatic past. Grows to care for the squad.36 • Role: Female protagonist, klaxosaur-human hybrid. Iconic “darling” user. Ichigo (Code:015) • Appearance: Petite build (shortest in the squad). Straight short blue hair in a razor-cut style (longer on the right side), soft green eyes, free-falling bangs often covering her right eye, and a white hair clip (gift from Hiro/Goro). Wears standard pistil uniform.37 • Personality: Emotional, blunt, responsible, and bossy as squad leader. Considerate and caring but impulsive when feelings (especially for Hiro) are involved. Jealous of Zero Two at times but grows to accept her. Straight-laced, values teamwork and duty.37 • Role: Leader, pilots Delphinium with Goro. Childhood friend of Hiro and Goro. Marries Goro later. Goro (Code:056) • Appearance: Tall, reliable-looking teen (details less emphasized, but fits standard male parasite build). • Personality: Level-headed, optimistic, mature, and reliable (unofficial co-leader). Loyal and supportive, especially to Ichigo (longtime crush he keeps quiet about). Prioritizes the team’s welfare.11 • Role: Ichigo’s partner in Delphinium. Childhood friend of Hiro and Ichigo. Becomes a traveler post-timeskip. Zorome (Code:666) • Appearance: Standard young male parasite look (often energetic expression). • Personality: Loud, obnoxious, lecherous, and cocky. Comic relief. Admires adults and aspires to become one. Argues with Miku but cares for her. Disdain for “elites.”11 • Role: Pilots Argentea with Miku. Becomes a teacher post-timeskip. Miku (Code:390) • Appearance: Energetic girl with pink-themed elements in design (matches her Franxx). • Personality: Loud, obnoxious, direct, and opinionated. Clashes with Zorome but deeply cares for him. Strong-willed.11 • Role: Zorome’s partner in Argentea. Kokoro (Code:556) • Appearance: Gentle, feminine look with softer features (flower/plant motifs in associations). • Personality: Kind, maternal, gentle, and curious about human emotions/reproduction. Forms deep bonds (especially with Mitsuru). Wants a life beyond piloting.26 • Role: Initially with Futoshi, later Mitsuru in Genista. Has children with Mitsuru. Futoshi (Code:214) • Appearance: Rounder, stouter build compared to others. • Personality: Devoted, emotional, and caring (especially toward Kokoro). Can be tearful and passionate. • Role: Initially Kokoro’s partner, later with Ikuno in Chlorophytum. Becomes a baker with a family post-timeskip. Mitsuru (Code:326) • Appearance: Slim, somewhat serious-looking with purple associations. • Personality: Uptight, initially distant/cold due to past (injection trauma). Grows more open through relationships. Reckless at times but protective.34 • Role: Initially with Ikuno, later Kokoro in Genista. Has a family. Ikuno (Code:196) • Appearance: Often with purple/lavender tones. More reserved look. • Personality: Intelligent, analytical, struggles with emotions and the male-female pairing system (she loves girls, notably Ichigo). Hardworking, contributes to science later (cure for parasite aging).34 • Role: Pilots Chlorophytum (with Mitsuru then Futoshi). Ends up in a relationship with Naomi. Other notes: • The squad starts paired boy-girl for Franxx piloting (stamen/pistil). They face puberty, emotions, and rebellion against the system. • Many survive post-timeskip, build families or careers, and honor Hiro & Zero Two’s sacrifice.36 They are memorable for their growth from duty-bound children to people seeking freedom, love, and humanity

Everyday wear for Squad 13 characters in Darling in the Franxx is highly standardized. As Parasites, they mostly wear the same plantation uniform daily while living in Mistilteinn (the “Birdcage”). There aren’t many unique casual outfits per character — the story emphasizes uniformity to show their controlled lives. They only get more personal clothing later (post-timeskip or rare off-duty scenes). Standard Daily/Plantation Uniform (worn by almost everyone most of the time) • Base Design: One-piece, form-fitting grey and dark blue uniform with red accents. Practical, military-style look. ◦ Girls (Pistils): Red “X” shaped tie/collar on the chest. ◦ Boys (Stamens): Red “Y” shaped tie/collar on the chest. • Common Details: Parasite cadet badge on the left chest, black garter socks, brown shoes. Simple and functional.17 Per-Character Notes (everyday wear is the same uniform unless specified): • Hiro (Code:016): Standard stamen uniform (grey/dark blue with red Y collar). Average, unremarkable fit on his slim build. He looks neat but often thoughtful or slightly disheveled in relaxed moments.23 • Zero Two (Code:002): Starts with a special red-accented uniform (as one of the elite Nines) that makes her stand out — more vibrant and distinctive. She switches to Squad 13’s standard pistil uniform (grey/dark blue with red X) after joining. Her horns and headband add personality to the look.17 • Ichigo (Code:015): Standard pistil uniform with red X collar. She wears a white hair clip (often a gift from Hiro/Goro) that adds a small personal touch. Looks very neat as the responsible leader.23 • Goro (Code:056): Standard stamen uniform with red Y collar. Tall and reliable appearance — fits him well. • Zorome (Code:666): Standard stamen uniform. Often looks energetic or messy due to his loud personality. • Miku (Code:390): Standard pistil uniform with red X. She styles it with her energetic vibe (pink hair ties or accessories that match her playful nature). • Kokoro (Code:556): Standard pistil uniform. Gentle and feminine appearance — the uniform looks soft on her. • Futoshi (Code:214): Standard stamen uniform. His rounder build makes it fit a bit differently (sometimes joked about in the series). • Mitsuru (Code:326): Standard stamen uniform. Worn precisely, matching his initially cold/uptight personality. • Ikuno (Code:196): Standard pistil uniform with red X. Analytical and reserved look. Other Everyday Contexts • Early Childhood (Garden): All wore simple white two-piece hospital-style outfits with code number collars (no individuality).17 • Formal Events: White beret, white/black cape coat with gold accents, red X/Y collar, and parasite badge. Used for ceremonies.8 • Rare Casual Moments: In the birdcage or downtime, they occasionally wear simple t-shirts, shorts, or dresses that feel more “human” and relaxed. These are not uniform but still basic. • Pilot Suits (not everyday, but worn for missions): Pistils in white/gray bodysuits; stamens in dark gray with black vests + a colored highlight strap matching their Franxx (e.g., red for Hiro/Zero Two, blue for Ichigo/Goro, pink for Miku/Zorome). Squad 13 is unique for these colorful accents.17 The lack of varied everyday clothing highlights the theme of the children being raised as tools rather than individuals — until they start questioning their world. Zero Two is the most visually distinct due to her initial red uniform and horns.

Squad 13’s Franxx are unique, individually designed mechs (unlike the standardized models used by other squads). They are named after flowers and have distinct color schemes and roles that reflect their pilots’ personalities and the squad’s teamwork.10 Here’s a breakdown of each Franxx from Squad 13, including appearance, role, and pilots: Strelizia (Strelitzia) • Pilots: Primarily Hiro (stamen) and Zero Two (pistil). Zero Two can pilot it solo in “Stampede Mode.” • Appearance: Towering, slender humanoid with a primarily white body and bold red/orange accents. Long, flowing orange-gold “hair” strands from the head (like a helmet with a unicorn-horn antenna and glowing eyes). Wields a massive lance called Queen Pike. In Stampede Mode (Zero Two solo), it transforms into a quadrupedal beast resembling a lion.25 • Role: Ace/close-quarters combat unit. Symbolizes passion and danger (red color). Extremely powerful and agile. • Notes: The most iconic Franxx; central to the story’s romance and battles. Delphinium • Pilots: Ichigo (pistil) and Goro (stamen). • Appearance: Sleek, knight-like humanoid design in blue tones (symbolizing loyalty and leadership). Balanced for melee and command. • Role: Commander-use melee unit. Often acts as support or rescuer for the team. Strong in handling and technique (second only to Strelizia).18 • Notes: Reliable frontline unit; reflects Ichigo’s leadership. Argentea • Pilots: Miku (pistil) and Zorome (stamen). • Appearance: Light pink color scheme (cute/playful vibe). Features bunny-ear-like twin elements on the head. Agile scout design.11 • Role: Melee scout/fast-attack unit. Emphasizes speed and close combat.5 • Notes: Matches the pilots’ energetic, immature, and playful dynamic. Genista • Pilots: Initially Kokoro (pistil) and Futoshi (stamen); later switches to Kokoro and Mitsuru. • Appearance: Bulky, heavy design with dark grey body and green highlights (plant/flower motif). Built tough for heavy duty.18 • Role: Siege artillery/heavy weapons unit. Excels in powerful, destructive attacks.5 • Notes: Reflects themes of growth and maternal strength (tied to Kokoro). Chlorophytum • Pilots: Initially Ikuno (pistil) and Mitsuru (stamen); later Ikuno and Futoshi. • Appearance: White and violet/purple color scheme. Features a four-panel “Wing Span” heat sink for energy management. More ranged-oriented frame.18 • Role: Ranged fire-support unit. Focuses on energy beams, ammunition, and sustained attacks.5 • Notes: Suited to Ikuno’s analytical style. Additional Details • Piloting System: All Franxx require a male-female pair (stamen/pistil). The female pilot lies prone in the cockpit (controlling main movements), while the male sits behind (handling weapons/systems). Synchronization depends on emotional connection and “parasite capacity.”15 • Design Theme: Each Franxx draws inspiration from its flower name and ties into the pilots’ uniforms/colors and personalities. • Uniqueness: Squad 13’s mechs stand out for their custom designs, allowing better teamwork compared to generic units. These Franxx play a huge role in the story’s action, character development, and themes of connection, rebellion, and humanity. Strelizia especially evolves dramatically with Hiro and Zero Two.
