The following are the playable characters in Little Knife Girl Fantasy. This page includes information about their stats and abilities.
The stats are calculated based on a formula involving the level of the character. The attack and defense strength are rounded up to the nearest integers if they are not integers after the values are otherwise calculated. It is not known whether the actual attack and defense values are rounded up to integers, or merely their display.
The basic abilities of each character are (basic) attack with Z, jump with X, and dodge (some form of escape maneuver) with C.
An ability indicated by a number can also be executed by pressing that number key. With a few exceptions, a more advanced ability always takes precedence over a more basic ability. That means if you use ability 4 while the character is using ability 2, then you interrupt the former to use the latter, whereas you cannot use ability 2 until the character finishes ability 4. Knowing this can help string combos together.
Note: The attack names are unofficial. The attacks have no names in-game.
