Background / History

Little Knife was born in a laboratory and is a second-generation Gene Warrior. She inherited her father’s speed and her mother’s beauty, but her family rejected her because she was a girl. Upon coming of age, she left her family’s protection and began surviving alone 33 49.

Before meeting Liu Feng, she maintained a refuge in an apartment building within an abandoned factory compound. Its defenses included razor wire, concealed spike pits, a sliding iron gate, and a second security door. She also developed diversion-based escape methods during her solitary travels 30 41.

Appearance

• Dark hair and fair skin: Her dark hair catches the morning sunlight during her rooftop conversation with Liu Feng 30 32.
• Facial features: Described with thin lips, shapely red lips, and a habitual frown; her beauty is explicitly attributed to her mother 30 33 46.
• Severe wounds: When Liu Feng first stays at her refuge, her shoulder and upper body bear darkened wounds containing rotting flesh. Her back has less severe bruises and cuts 30 31.
• Clothing: Carries her curved blade close to her body and later tucks it into her belt. She wears a sports bra beneath her shirt during the laboratory incident 33 50.

Personality

Little Knife is guarded, self-reliant, and initially distrustful of men. At their first encounter, she interprets Liu Feng’s staring as suspicious and speeds away. She remains reserved when introducing herself, but offers him shelter and prepared ice water after their escape 28 30.

Her composure does not mean she is unaffected by pain. She silently cuts rotting flesh from her wounds, yet sweats, trembles, and becomes visibly shy when Liu Feng helps treat her back. She accepts assistance reluctantly rather than insisting on handling every injury alone 30 31.

She is bold enough to charge into hordes and attack their commander directly, sometimes prompting Liu Feng to restrain or rescue her. Alongside this aggression, she shows practical judgment through fortified defenses, escape planning, and recognition of deception 35 36 38 41 50.

Her warmer side emerges through dry humor, teasing, and loyalty. She notices Liu Feng’s anxiety about his companions, accompanies him back to his camp, and later refuses to leave him behind during a retreat 32 33 39.
