I aspire to be a paladin. When someone asks for help, I’m bound to offer it.

— Female Knight

Female Knight (女騎士, Onna Kishi) is a silver-ranked Adventurer and a member of Heavy Warrior's party.

Appearance[]

Female Knight is a beautiful young woman with long blonde hair and is clad in white body-fitting armor and a cape, although the anime shows the former to be grey with gold bits.

Personality[]

Female Knight has three distinct personality traits; on duty, she is a focused, reliable, and capable woman that is a "must have" for any Party. Off duty, however, Female Knight devolves into a "hard-drinking party girl" type, getting plastered, argumentative, and braggadocios with just about everyone around her. Lastly, a much more secretive side to her is the "smitten young woman", that secretly hosts insecurities about how this has left her appearance to be less feminine in the eyes of her partner, Heavy Warrior, who she harbors strong romantic feelings for.

FemaleKnightEducation

Female Knight is not modest about her education

Female Knight is an Adventurer who takes pride in her combat and educational skills, taking in every moment to show off how "awesome and amazing she is" to everyone she can get to listen. She is also well-versed in skills even seasoned veteran Adventurers are not in, like castle defense and even laying siege to a castle hinting at a much higher education level than most people get.

Although she yearns to be a Paladin, Female Knight can get easily carried away when she gets excited. During practice sessions, she fights her opponent relentlessly while laughing loudly, showing no sympathy for anyone unfortunate enough to be her sparring partner.

Chronology[]

Background[]

FemaleKnightFamily

Female Knight's Parents or ancestors

Female Knight claims to be either the daughter or descendant of a disposed Princess who joined forces with an Adventurer who rescued her, the story varies depending on who tells it and when. Some stories say the pair either took back her throne and decided to run away with each other, or the two ran away with each other and become Adventurers together before marrying. Either way, she has always been very proud of her upbringing, if not a little too proud.

Female Knight's much higher than average education level in writing, math, swordsmanship, and even castle defense has always shown Female Knight comes from a very noble upbringing.

Year One Volume 1[]

HeavyWarriorFirstTimeOut

Back from their first Goblin Slaying Quest

Female Knight signed up as an Adventurer the same Spring as Goblin Slayer, and despite being a rookie, many noted that her being equipped in a full suit of armor revealed she either came from a great deal of money, training, or both. There she quickly teamed up with Heavy Warrior and formed a partnership with him. Heavy Warrior later took on a group of young Adventurers, Half-Elf Light Warrior, Scout Boy, and Druid Girl , and created her Party. At one point, the Party went to slay a Goblin Nest and Female Knight had to do the majority of the work with Half-Elf Light Warrior because Heavy Warrior made the rookie mistake of bringing his greatsword into a confined space. Though he was thoroughly embarrassed, Female Knight playfully kept teasing him about it.

Heavy Warrior lending a hand

Female Knight forgot to braid her hair

When the Rock Eater had finally become a problem large enough that a large-scale effort of cooperation was asked of the Frontier Adventurers looking to make a name for themselves. Female Knight gladly took part in the hunt to slay the Rock Eater, even allowing Young Warrior to join the Party as a temp. As they came upon the cave, she became so excited she forgot to braid her hair for her helmet before she put her gauntlets on. Heavy Warrior was forced to do her hair up, getting her back for all the jokes about bringing a greatsword into a Goblin Nest.

During the battle against the Rock Eater, Female Knight worked together alongside Heavy Warrior and Spearman to hold the line. She ended up showing her ability with Miracles like Holy Light and Blessing to empower he sword and reveal Slimes trying to hunt the Hunters. At one point, Heavy Warrior took a good hit, making her panic, and after a Slime ate her helmet, Female Knight focused solely on offense. With the creature's death she went to the Temple of the Earth Mother with the others and fell asleep on Heavy Warrior's shoulder.

Year One Volume 2[]

After the Rock Eater hunt, Female Knight and Heavy Warrior ended up getting promoted to Obsidian Rank.

Year One Volume 3[]

After getting promoted to Obsidian Rank, Female Knight began working hard to further climb the ranks, however, Scout Boy and Druid Girl had finally been exposed for falsifying their ages which got their Party penalized. Rather than cut them loose, Heavy Warrior convinced Female Knight to keep them and accept the extra hurdles to promotion, which she accepted. Later though, she began to get annoyed when Goblin Slayer was actually getting ahead of the two, and she knew he didn't care about the rankings.

Female Knight sends Heavy Warrior back to bed

Female Knight began to notice Heavy Warrior was overworking himself and tried to tell him to take a break until he passed out form exhaustion. Professor had told her to keep him resting and take it easy for a while and agreed to finish their latest quest for them so he could rest. At one point, Female Knight showed Heavy Warrior a Goblin Slaying Quest to try and get his confidence back up, only to see him freak out and make a run for it. Learning the village requesting aid was his old home town, she tried to convince him he was in no condition to help but couldn't stop him. Suddenly, Goblin Slayer arrived and overhearing her plight revealed he already slew all the Goblins near the village. Female Knight took the opportunity to force Heavy Warrior back to bed for healing, happy that he was more relaxed.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1[]

Upon seeing Goblin Slayer preparing to go on another Goblin Slaying Quest, Female Knight expresses disgust at how he became silver-ranked only from hunting Goblins, and openly suggested he at least try to look like a Silver-Ranked. Heavy Warrior told her to ignore him, reminding her that he is different from them as the two argue with Spearman over who would take the day's "Big Quest".

She later observed Heavy Warrior train Scout Boy and Rookie Warrior and proudly boasts to Goblin Slayer that she would give her partner a run for his money as she swapped in, showing off her skills to the rookies and Goblin Slayer.[1]

FemaleKnightvsGobChamp

Female Knight vs Goblin Champion

When Goblin Slayer warns the Guild of a Goblin Lord and a very large approaching Goblin Horde, Female Knight initially refuses to act; finding fighting Goblins beneath her. However, when the Guild decides to up the Goblin bounty to one gold coin a head form this Horde, Heavy Warrior agrees to help "for the money", but Female Knight calls him out, knowing he's been wanting to repay Goblin Slayer for saving his home village for five years now. Invigorated with her partner's rise to action, Female Knight changes her mind and agrees to help, even sending Druid Girl to stay in the farmhouse with Cow Girl to keep her safe, even admitting Goblin Slayer's strategies are indeed Silver-Ranked. During the battle, she and Heavy Warrior fight together against a Goblin Champion, claiming the Champion's head for herself, believing she scored a big payday. She is dumbfounded however, at Heavy Warrior's humor, to learn her Champion head is also worth a single gold coin, because all Goblins were worth one gold coin. This caused her to drown her sorrows in alcohol for not collecting more regular heads like the rookies.[2]

LN Vol 03-06

Will this work?

As the Harvest Festival is about to being, Female Knight goes to the Smith's shop and debates buying a chainmail bikini set, in hopes of attracting Heavy Warrior's attention. While debating the purchase, Female Knight can't help but think how a chainmail bikini even works, noting the clear opening in the midsection. As she notes the Amazon women prefer this type of armor, and imagine she is supposed to wear the bikini under a "sporty" gambeson, she finally realizes how dumb she's being. Goblin Slayer surprises her and Female Knight asks his opinion, for some odd reason, on if she wore the bikini, only to be embarrassed that even Goblin Slayer already knew she has strong affections for her partner. Finally realizing she was asking the wrong man, Goblin Slayer surprises her by actually giving her sound advice of wearing a simple dress, as she always wears armor, to gauge Heavy Warrior's attention. With this, she thanks Goblin Slayer for his advice, both of them admitting this was a very odd encounter and conversation.[3]

Female Knight spotted

On a rowboat date

During the Festival, Female Knight chose to wear a simple, but beautiful, blue dress and invited Heavy Warrior to spend the day with her. He agreed which made her extremely happy, eventually ending up a "rowboat date" only to be spied by Goblin Slayer and Guild Girl, Female Knight gestured to the pair to keep the date a secret as the continued to drift on.[4]

After this, the two confess their romantic feelings for each other and start dating; and everyone figured them out instantly.

Goblin Slayer Volume 4[]

When Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric were asking Scout Boy and Druid if they have a spare weapon for him to use, Female Knight and Heavy Warrior were training together in their swordsmanship. As Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric retrieved the sword in question, Female Knight celebrates with them with the rest of her Party.[5]

Later, she is forced to sit out from a Quest from the Royal Court due to being sick at the time forcing Heavy Warrior to link up with Spearman and Goblin Slayer.[6]

Goblin Slayer Volume 5[]

FemaleKnightDrunk

Female Knight celebrates New Years

As the New Year Celebration comes to the Frontier, Female Knight celebrates in her usual manner, drinking her heart out. This New Year's however, she drunkenly tries to convince Heavy Warrior he should get married and start working on giving his parents grandchildren so they didn't have to worry about him. Heavy Warrior counters her by reminding her his parents are dead and deduces her parents are pestering her to get married and give them grandchildren.

Female Knight retorts the accusations by getting in Heavy Warrior's face, forcing him to ask for help fro his unsympathetic Party who tell him they can't handle her. The continued teasing succeeds in only further annoying her.[7]

Goblin Slayer Volume 6[]

FemaleKnightTraining

Female Knight can't hold back

After watching Wizard Boy talk down to Priestess while declaring he would kill Goblins, Female Knight steps in to intervene. She proposes that he go slay Goblins to back his confidence and prove he's not all talk, but on the condition that Priestess be the one to give him orders and that he follow them. When he tries to weasel his way out of it, Female Knight makes it clear, she's not asking him, she was telling him to do this.[8]

Later in the incomplete training grounds, Female Knight duels Rhea Fighter and enjoys herself a little too much as she mercilessly attacks the Rhea. Female Knight keeps up her relentless "teaching" when dueling Wizard Boy, but didn't think she had been especially tough on him. Though it's clear she went out of her way to give him an extra hard lesson after his previous bashing of Priests.[9]

Goblin Slayer Volume 7[]

FemaleKnightWHAT

Time to get Married!

As High Elf Archer announces "It's time to get married!" Female Knight loses it, implying to everyone how much she wants to get married.[10]

Goblin Slayer Volume 10[]

LN Vol 10-13

Female Knight battles the Forces of Chaos

With the coming of late Spring and early Summer, the grape harvest and wine making for the Temple of the Earth Mother, certain negative rumors began to spread about Sister Grape, the Priestess in charge of the temple's wine production for communion. Female Knight is roused to take action after quite a few red flags begin to pop up thanks to Padfoot Waitress and Rhea Chef making the Adventurers aware of how quickly a certain Wine Merchant was moving behind the scenes.[11]

As she and her Party begin to set off, Female Knight runs into Goblin Slayer at Cow Girl's farm who appears lost in thought. Inquiring to his problem, Goblin Slayer opens up to her about someone trying to buy Cow Girl's farm and it all being suspicious to him but he can't understand why. Female Knight informs him how important Cow Girl's farm is to the Frontier, being a "branch castle" as Female Knight begins to show off her knowledge of Castle Defense and Siege to him. As she heads off, she notes she seems to have educated Goblin Slayer much to her satisfaction.

During their investigation, Heavy Warrior and Female Knight take their Party to the Water Town, meeting up with Sword Maiden and Female Merchant who informs them about the Forces of Chaos that are moving in on trying to attack the Frontier Town.[12]

Thanks to Sword Maiden's information, Female Knight and Heavy Warrior join forces with Spearman and Witch to attack a small army of Undead and Lesser Demons in a mausoleum. They discovered that the Forces of Chaos were going to use this small army to take over the Temple of the Earth Mother and Cow Girl's Farm to launch an attack on the Frontier Town. Female Knight fights well and takes out many demons but does suffer from a minor head wound.[13]

Goblin Slayer Volume 12[]

FemaleKnightSkills

Female Knight defends the Castle

Annoyed that Heavy Warrior had ditched her to go on a "special quest" with Goblin Slayer and Spearman, Female Merchant puts together a special quest of her own but declares it's going to be "Girl's Only" quest, recruiting Witch, High Elf Archer, and Priestess who were also left out. Her main reason for collecting them however is to brag to their male partners later of the fun they had, choosing a Castle Defense Quest.

At the castle, Female Knight and High Elf Archer get into a competition over who can down the most wyvern, only for Female Knight to complain High Elf Archer's kills "only count as one" per arrow due to all her trick shots. As a Peryton arrives, Female Knight takes the imitative to kill it, only for her sword to phase through the beast as it magically kills the soldier around her, announcing it'll return tomorrow. Strategizing, Female Knight boasts to all assembled that Priestess will be able to handle the Peryton when it returns.

FemaleKnightEncourages

Female Knight encourages Priestess

That night, Female Knight tells her family story to Priestess who can't sleep, explaining that either her parents, grandparents, or ancestors were a disposed Princess who was saved by her knight and the two joined forces to reclaim her throne, only to runaway together and teach their children the royal sword techniques. When Priestess asks if the story is true, Female Knight responds only mysteriously that it might or might not be. But the story is used to give Priestess encouragement that she can succeed even if she thinks she's not as capable as the rest of the ladies present, pointing out that despite their greatness, she and High Elf Archer are immature and even the supposedly perfect Witch seems to snore. With this, Female Knight is able to motivate Priestess to confront the Peryton when it comes tomorrow.

The next day, the Peryton arrives and Priestess engages in a game of riddles with it, meanwhile Female Knight keeps an eye on her like the rest of the Party as she whittles down the Forces of Chaos. As Priestess discovers the Peryton's weakness, Female Knight aids her in getting higher up to use Holy Light which destroyed the beast. With this, the Forces of Chaos are routed, winning the day for the Forces of Order.[14]

Goblin Slayer Volume 13[]

During the Yule Festival's Practice Dungeon, Female spends most of it with Heavy Warrior having fun as she normally does. However, when she is warned of a real Goblin body found in the Practice Dungeon, Female Knight is asked to stay quiet and run interference and protection on the outside just in case. Female Knight agrees with Heavy Warrior and the two being to make the rounds in case of emergency.

Goblin Slayer Volume 15[]

As Heavy Warrior is accused of kidnapping and harassment by Baturu, Female Knight becomes extremely annoyed, blaming him because she thought he was getting flirty with Centaur Waitress again. Thanks to Centaur Waitress, Goblin Slayer, and the Guild, Heavy Warrior is quickly exonerated much to Female Knight's pleasure.[15]

Abilities[]

A silver-ranked Adventurer, Female Knight is considered to be a veteran among other Adventurers as she answered the call for only those with experience to face-off against the Goblin Champions.
