カリナ・ミルザ
from Darling in the FranXX
Karina Milsa is a character in DARLING in the FRANXX. Karina Milsa was a middle-aged woman with bobbed caramel-blonde hair and gray eyes. She would wear eyeglasses during experiments and when she had to read or write. From the outset, Karina was shown to have had a great deal of initial admiration, if not attraction, to Werner. Similar to Kokoro, she desired to have children, and that with none other than her "dense" partner, the doctor himself. Because of this, she refused to become immortal. She often discussed with him about the peak of human development and would worry about him. Karina was quite fearless, too, willing to be a test subject (the 13th one, to be exact) for the prototype FranXX unit. Several years after her death, her husband conducted his test squad at Plantation 13, perhaps in honor and memory of of her.
Darling in the FranXX
In the distant future, humanity has been driven to near-extinction by giant beasts known as Klaxosaurs, forcing the surviving humans to take refuge in massive fortress cities called Plantations. Children raised here are trained to pilot giant mechas known as FranXX—the only weapons known to be effective against the Klaxosaurs—in boy-girl pairs. Bred for the sole purpose of piloting these machines, these children know nothing of the outside world and are only able to prove their existence by defending their race. Hiro, an aspiring FranXX pilot, has lost his motivation and self-confidence after failing an aptitude test. Skipping out on his class' graduation ceremony, Hiro retreats to a forest lake, where he encounters a mysterious girl with two horns growing out of her head. She introduces herself by her codename Zero Two, which is known to belong to an infamous FranXX pilot known as the "Partner Killer." Before Hiro can digest the encounter, the Plantation is rocked by a sudden Klaxosaur attack. Zero Two engages the creature in her FranXX, but it is heavily damaged in the skirmish and crashes near Hiro. Finding her partner dead, Zero Two invites Hiro to pilot the mecha with her, and the duo easily defeats the Klaxosaur in the ensuing fight. With a new partner by his side, Hiro has been given a chance at redemption for his past failures, but at what cost? [Written by MAL Rewrite]
