Nana

Nana (ナナ) is the Parasite administrator of APE Operational Headquarters.

Appearance
Nana is an adult woman with long, wavy brownish-red hair and teal-green eyes. She wears the standard APE senior uniform.

Personality
Nana is shown to be a very likable person. Her Parasites were excited to see that she will be in charge of them, as Nana has had known the Parasites before. She also cares about the Parasites, and gets worried when Ichigo tries to pilot Delphinium all by herself in Episode 2. Despite being close to the Parasites, she is not above scolding them for misbehavior and disciplining them for it. She also values her orders and the plantation over the Parasites, as shown in Episode 9, when she is willing to leave Goro behind in order to defeat the Klaxosaur at the worst case scenario.

History
She used to be a pistil and underwent emotional indoctrination as most parasites. She has known Hachi for years, as they were squad colleagues. Her partner died by her side in battle, a memory that would be suppressed through brainwashing.

She was first seen having headaches in Episode 16. In Episode 17, Kokoro's questions about the emotions she felt led to flashes of her partner's death to cross her mind, causing her to finally breakdown and reveal the impact watching the children has caused her. The whole event was witnessed by 9'α and Hachi. Both saw it as a sign of incapacity to exercise her functions.

In Episode 19, Nana and Hachi are shown side by side as children in the Garden, and interestingly enough, she isn't shown to have visibly aged much since her childhood.

Dr. FRANXX
Nana respects Dr. FRANXX and looks up to him. In Episode 01, Dr. FRANXX gropes her, upsetting and embarrassing her, questioning why he did that. In Episode 07, Nana, alongside Hachi, wonders why Dr. FRANXX decided to send the Plantation 13 Parasites to the beach. In Episode 08, Nana, with Hachi, seek advice from Dr. FRANXX about dealing with the Squad 13's sudden burst of puberty.

Trivia

 * Nana's name (七七) can also mean the number 7, which could be a reference to her code, which is yet to be revealed.
 * She allowed Kokoro to take care of the Greenhouse in Mistilteinn.
