Ikuno

Ikuno is one of the main characters in DARLING in the FRANXX series. She is a former Parasite with the codename "196" of the Thirteenth Plantation, where she's partnered in boy-girl pair with Futoshi to pilot a FRANXX called Chlorophytum. She had Mitsuru as her original partner.
He is voiced in Japanese by Shizuka Ishigami and in English by Leah Clark.
==Appearance==
She has deep purple hair tied into a short ponytail using a blue butterfly clip and bangs on either side of her weary green eyes. She wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and has freckles under her eyes. When piloting Chlorophytum, she wears a white bodysuit with light violet accents.
During the events of Episode 21, her purple hair turned white.
==Personality==
A calm girl who prefers to keep to herself and maintains an air of poise. An avid reader of books who can more often than not be seen with one in-hand. She is rather quiet and composed and appears to have little to no interest in boys, although she does seem to have an interest in girls (as shown by her interest in Ichigo in Episode 18).
==Etymology==
Ikuno's nickname may use some of the numeral's readings from her real name "Code:196": i from 1 (, ichi), ku from 9 (, ku); meanwhile, no resembles hiragana "の" (no) when 6 turns 90-degree clockwise.
==Trivia==
*Ikuno's notebook is decorated with white lilies. In Japanese, the word for lily is (yuri), which is also the word used for homosexual relationships between women.
*Her appearance of having purple hair and glasses resembles Kuboyasu Aren from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
