A mysterious girl known as "Princess of the Klaxosaurs" by the Seven Sages, Code:001 plays a crucial role in DARLING in the FRANXX’s story, standing out for her enigmatic origins and powerful abilities.
She possesses blue skin and eyes, with a distinctive pair of horns on her forehead and a tail, setting her apart from humans and regular Klaxosaurs.
Her physical features radiate an otherworldly yet imposing beauty, commanding both awe and fear from those who encounter her.
Code:001 is driven and resolute, unafraid to take drastic measures for what she believes in.
She maintains a stoic, almost distant demeanor, but her decisions and actions reveal intense emotions beneath the surface, from deep-seated resentment towards humanity to unexpected admiration for courage and hope.
She is the last surviving ancient human known as a "Klaxosapien," a lost race with immense knowledge and power.
Unlike other Klaxosaurs, she can understand and use human language, not through vocal speech, but telepathically, communicating directly into the minds of others.
Commanding countless Klaxosaurs as their undisputed leader, she exhibits telepathic communication and exceptional control over her subordinates.
She has the unique power to interface with the colossal weapon, Strelizia Apath, and override its systems, even forcibly ejecting pilots such as Zero two.
She communicates exclusively through thoughts, never using her voice—her telepathy closely resembles human speech.
Her deep-seated hatred for humanity stems from their exploitation of magma energy, which awakened her suspicions and animosity.
"We will never surrender to those who threaten our existence."
"I entrust everything to you. Live until the end, no matter what."
Confrontation with Humanity
When the Seven Sages attempt to negotiate surrender, Code:001 responds by eliminating two members and doubling down on her resolve to battle mankind.
She continues leading the Klaxosaur forces, fiercely defending their home beneath the Gran Crevasse and harboring suspicion against the alien threat, VIRM.
Battle for Strelizia Apath
As humanity's mining of magma fuel intensifies her anger, she intercepts Hiro and Zero two on their way to the Star Entity.
Taking control of Strelizia Apath, she forcibly expels Zero two and pilots it herself, aiming to weaponize its massive destructive power.
Defeat and Resolution
During the chaos, VIRM’s vanguard invades, and the trap set into Apath ensnares both Code:001 and Hiro.
Realizing her imminent loss, she resolves to perish alongside the Earth, but witnessing Hiro and Zero two’s resilience moves her deeply.
In a final act of hope, she surrenders all her remaining power to Zero two, trusting the future to them before fading away.
Her legacy endures as a pivotal turning point in the struggle against VIRM, and her sacrifices are honored by those who survived.
She remains one of the most iconic and complex figures in the series, forever remembered as the last Klaxosapien Princess.
