001

001, also known as the Princess of Klaxosaurs, is a character in DARLING in the FRANXX. She is a Klaxo-sapien and is presumed to be the last surviving member of her kind.

She is voiced in Japanese by Rie Kugimiya and in English by Luci Christian.

Appearance
001 is a blue skinned humanoid klaxosaur with long flowing sky blue-white hair and prominent blue eyes with glowing blue pupils. She has dark lines under her eyes and all around her body. She also has eight spider-like appendages coming from her back and what seems to be a crown on her head, with two blue horns protruding from the center: one from her forehead and another from the back of the head.

Personality
001 is shown to despise Papa and the others, calling them “damned human wannabes” as she knows who they truly are. She doesn't hesitate to resort to violence and murder whenever she feels threatened, which is seen by Tarsier's attempted murder on her. Even when she doesn't feel threatened, she uses violence in order to get what she wants. She also despises humans as they have been attacking her brethren; the Klaxosaurs, for years and does not show any mercy to humans, which is shown when she bit off Dr. FRANXX arm during their first meeting since she smelled that he had laid a hand on her brethren.

001 is fiercely protective of the Klaxosaurs and of the Earth, and will do anything in her power to keep it safe. She states that she wouldn't even let VIRM lay one hand on the Earth again. She has lived for millions of years for VIRM's rearrival and for the purpose of fighting them. Despite that, she was convinced that victory against VIRM was impossible, though she states that she just wanted to take out as many as she could. She was seen being rather pessimistic about the battle against VIRM and gave up rather quickly when she and Hiro were trapped by them. She also did not understand why Hiro was so willing to fight alongside her when he never even had a part in the battle.

She later admits that she and the other klaxo-sapiens believed that by abandoning their ties and embracing solitude, they could make themselves stronger and into a perfected form. However, she later learns from Hiro and Zero Two's bond that that may not always be the case. She comes to believe that people can accomplish things with the help of others. This is why she is confident enough to sacrifice herself and give all of her strength and power to Hiro and Zero Two so they can save the planet.

Abilities
001 has 8 appendages, similar to the legs of a spider, that she can control freely. They are also capable of extending and retracting. She used them to impale and kill Tarsier after he tried to attack her. 001 seems to possess telepathy, as she is able to speak without moving her mouth. She can also make others hear her voice in their head when she screams.
