Hanahaki Disease (from Japanese hana = "flower" and hakimasu = "to throw up") is a fictional, often fatal, trope in fan fiction and manga where unrequited love causes flowers to grow in the lungs, leading the sufferer to cough up petals. It is typically cured if feelings are reciprocated, or through surgery that removes the flowers along with the love.

Symptoms: Intense chest pain, coughing up blood-soaked flower petals or full flowers, and eventual suffocation as lungs fill with roots.

Resolutions

Reciprocation: The loved one returns the feelings, curing the disease. Surgery: The infection is surgically removed, but the victim loses all romantic feelings for their crush. Death: The victim dies if the love remains unrequited and no action is taken.

Common Hanahaki Flower Types and Symbolism

Red Rose: Intense love, romance, but in this context, the sharp pain of thorns and unrequited passion Blue Rose: Symbolizes impossible dreams, unattainable love, and often used when the affection cannot be returned Cherry Blossoms (Sakura): Beauty, fleeting life, and a common choice for the quick, tragic death of a character Yellow Carnation: Rejection, disdain, and disappointment in love Pink Camellia: Longing for someone, longing for love Anemone: Forsaken love and deep sadness Forget-me-not: Loyalty, true love, and the longing to be remembered by the beloved Snapdragons: Can represent deception or complex, rocky emotional states, sometimes used for characters with hidden feelings Narcissus/Daffodil: Unrequited love and self-centered longing

Meaning: The choice of flower often highlights the specific nature of the character's despair, such as white lily for a pure but tragically doomed affection. Although, sometimes, flowers can be represented with the crush's favorite color.

Felix is the fourth of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the Jack of Hearts.

Felix wears a yellow sweater with a smiley face on it, a pair of white trousers, and bright cyan or blue shoes. In the animated series, the smiley on his sweater changes to match Felix’s emotions. In the comic, he also wears a shirt under his sweater.

Personality: A kindhearted and cheerful person who enjoys spreading joy and positivity to the people around him. However, he is also rather short tempered, which makes him prone to engaging with his fellow clones (particularly Waru, who enjoys getting a rise out of him). Felix also has the tendency to be controlling from time to time, especially when people disagree with his idea of happiness.

Fëdor Nechitaylo is one of the main protagonists of the 13 Cards franchise. He is the current owner of the magical deck of cards, and the person from whom the clones were created.

Fëdor has brown hair that spikes up in the front. He has brown eyes and a mole above his upper lip. His attire consists of a black collared shirt with a yellow shirt on top of it, jeans, and white sneakers.

As a young child, Fëdor's family used to move around a lot, which caused him a lot of difficulty in making friends. He preferred to be by himself and declared that he would be his own friend.

Later in life, Fëdor received the magical deck of cards from the fortune teller and used it to summon the clones, who began to live in his apartment with him. Fëdor is currently a college student, and he works part-time as a pizza delivery boy.

Nicknames: "Fedya"

(The Series) Felix often ends up as a victim of Waru's pranks and insults, and is often suspicious of him. Due to this, he and Waru are prone to getting into physical fights. However, Felix still calls Waru his friend in "Clones Order Pizza" (along with Spade), and does not hesitate to join Waru's band in Episode 6. In the Spanish dub of the series, Felix often refers to Waru as "la rata de Waru" ("that rat Waru") when complaining about his actions.

(Fëdorx9) The first time we see Felix and Waru, the two of them are engaged in a friendly game of cards with Spade (which Waru cheats at by looking at Felix's cards). Despite this, Waru sees Felix as just as much of a target as any of the other clones. Towards the end of the series, when the clones are choosing new numbers for themselves, Felix expresses a desire to be the new Clone #7 due to 7 being perceived as a lucky number. Upon hearing this, Waru declares himself the new Clone #7, forcing Felix to become Clone #6.

(Land of Kings) Waru enjoys making jokes at Felix's expense and pulling pranks on him, which Felix often responds to with anger and even violence. In the Hearts Volume, when Felix becomes preoccupied with the state of Felicia and begins to ignore Waru's pranks, Waru finds it highly upsetting.

Waru is the fifth of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the Jack of Spades.

Waru has curly green hair. He sports a pair of green glasses with spiral patterns on them, which he never takes off. His eyes are always hidden from the viewers, but official posts suggest that they are green. Waru wears a blue sweater with a spiral on the front, the spiral is a darker shade of blue than his shirt, he also wears dark green pants and green pointed shoes.

Personality: Waru is a cunning and selfish individual with delusions of grandeur and an inflated ego. He is also rather mischievous and enjoys playing pranks on others, especially those who react strongly to his pranks, such as Felix. He is usually rather upset when the victims of his pranks do not respond the way he wants them to.

(Land of Kings) At the beginning of Land of Kings, Romeo is a close friend to Felix. They invite each other to their states and praise each other at the Gathering of Rulers.

At the beginning of the Hearts Volume, Felix, along with Franz, actually head to Romeo's state. There, after a few weeks of entertainment, Felix asks Romeo if there is anything else in his state apart from that, to which Romeo declares that they need nothing else — everyone in his state has one common goal.

Felix clings to this thought and uses it as inspiration for his continued rule.

Upon returning to Verona at the end of the same volume and finding Romeo missing, Felix begins to criticise him and even accuses him of being responsible for the collapse of his state.

(The series) They're good almost best friends, mostly together in everything, although Romeo sometimes drives Felix crazy.

Romeo is the seventh of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the King of Hearts.

Appearance: Romeo has short, dark pink hair, while his fluffy bangs are a light pink shade. His eyes are a dark shade of red as his eyebrows. In the series, he wears a yellow t-shirt slightly open from above, tight pink pants and pointy dark red shoes. In the comics, he weas a fluorescent pink coat with a muted purple bow as well, his pants turning into that same color.

Detail: He's probably Pansexual since he also flirts discreetly with the clones (Specifically with Felix and sometimes Spade)

(Land of Kings) Felix and Brolly are best friends. At the beginning of Land of Kings, Felix tries to help Brolly by pushing away Waru, who fell on him.

Felix is the second person Brolly calls when he realizes that something bad is starting to happen in his state, but by then Felix has already broken his videophone, so he doesn't answer.

At the next Gathering of Rulers, Brolly is concerned about Felix's condition because he fell asleep while driving and even helps him, by dragging him from the car to the table. Later, Felix asks Brolly to create him a pair of glasses.

Brolly (known as Zontik in Russian and Goti in Spanish) is the sixth of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the Jack of Clubs.

Appearance: Brolly has long teal hair and dark turquoise eyebrows. His eye colour in the comic universe differs from the one in the series — his eyes being cyan in Fëdorx9 and Land of Kings, but a dark turquoise in 13 Cards. Of all of the clones, Brolly has an otherwise unremarkable appearance. In Fëdorx9, Brolly’s clothing differs in that it seems looser, but the overall look is similar to the animated series — a muted orange sweater, dark turquoise pants, and a brown scarf. Brolly’s hair in the series seems longer and fluffier. Waru also calls him a “loofah”, perhaps indicating that Brolly’s hair tangles easily.

(Land of Kings) Kuromaku often helps Felix with running his kingdom efficiently, both by educating him and by providing him with technology that can help.

Kuromaku is the second of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the King of Clubs.

Kuromaku has neatly styled, medium-length gray hair. He has thin black eyebrows, gray eyes, and wears glasses. The glasses themselves are semicircular in shape. He also has a paler skin tone than the others.

In the comic, Kuromaku wears a dull brown suit, a pastel brown shirt, and a long black tie. In the series, the shirt is light gray, and Kuromaku does not wear the suit jacket. However, in the episode Clones Order Pizza, Waru takes it out of the closet. So, it is still in Kuroumaku's possession.

(The series) Felix often feels intimidated by Spade's agressive nature, often choosing to not fight with him, yet they both share friendship-annoyance towards Waru.

Spade (known as Pik in Russian) is the eighth of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the King of Spades.

Appearance: Spade has long purple-colored hair, with several strands on the top of his head forming devil-like horns. The sclera of his eyes are yellow, and the eyes themselves are rather triangular in shape. When Spade gets angry, his eyes change color from black to red and a spade symbol can be seen in them. He also has fangs. Spade has the darkest skin complexion of the clones. Spade wears a dark blue sweater with a spade symbol on it, dark gray pants, and black shoes.

(Series) Felix often finds himself wondering where Gabriel is. He's delighted when Fëdor finds Gabriel after he was missing for a while in "Clones Make a Comic, and in episode 7, he and Brolly attach a video camera to Gabriel's head to find out what he does all day.

In "Clones Against the Mafia", despite being against the idea of executing Waru in a game of Mafia, Gabriel agrees to vote for Felix to be executed, and is the one to execute him in the game.

Gabriel is the first of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the Jack of Diamonds.

Appearance: Gabriel has brown hair, matching his color, and his hairstyle resembles a question mark, matching his curious nature. The tips of his ears are pointed, more like those of an elf.

Personality: Gabriel is a curious clone who doesn't possess extensive knowledge. Most often, he responds with questions, the most frequent one being: "Huh-what?" Gabriel has a good sense of people. He can detach from emotions, observing the world from a third-person perspective like a spectator. Gabriel has the ability, in a positive way, to downplay negative experiences and look at them with detachment. He is quite straightforward.

(Land of Kings) Felix, due to Dante’s calm and peaceful nature, looks up to him and even calls him his sensei. However, by the fifth chapter, they had not yet interacted in the comic.

Dante is the third of eight clones of Fëdor Nechitaylo and the King of Diamonds.

Appearance: Dante has bright red hair shaped like a flame of fire. His eyes are a darker shade of red, as are his bushy eyebrows, and his skin is slightly tanned. Dante wears simple clothes — a white t-shirt, a pair of red shorts and equally bright coloured suspenders in the series, overalls in the comic. On his feet he wears white socks and red sandals.
