Knights of Favonius Spark Knight! Forever with a bang and a flash!
—And then disappearing from the stern gaze of Acting Grand Master Jean.
Sure, time in solitary confinement gives lots of time to think about new gunpowder formulas...
But it'd still be better to not be in solitary in the first place.—Description from the Official Website[1]
Personality
An explosives expert and a regular at the Knights of Favonius's confinement room. Also known as Fleeing Sunlight.
—In-game character attributes and profile page text
Klee is an energetic and outgoing girl who takes after her mother, Alice. She has a particular talent for creating explosives and is not fazed by the sound of explosions. She adores anything that can blow up like her bombs, such as Amber's Baron Bunny. She acts like a typical energetic young child who loves playing with her friends. Unfortunately, her definition of playing usually involves explosives; she is particularly fond of "fish blasting", tossing bombs into lakes full of fish.
In part due to her young age, Klee can be very naïve at times and easily confused by topics she doesn't have any context for, such as mistaking Mondstadt's wine industry for a monster,[2] and wondering why Diluc is always grumpy, even going as far as to call him the "weird grown-up". Klee is not fond of seeing people argue, as she believes that they only come when someone was in the wrong and that it doesn't feel right to her.[3]
While she's considered an official member of the Knights of Favonius, Klee's antics often get her into trouble. Like any child, she often tries to flee to avoid being reprimanded, but is eventually caught by Jean who sends her to solitary confinement to self-reflect. While she occasionally does try to do so, she almost always quickly forgets and instead uses the time to brainstorm new bombs and explosives.
Klee loves her fellow knights, and is well-loved by them in turn. She is particularly fond of Kaeya and Albedo. Whenever she heads out of the city to play, she always follows the "survival rules" which Kaeya gave her. Albedo, on the other hand, is an older brother figure who takes care of her. She is also quite fond of Diona, even catching fish to share and offering her Dodoco to pet when Klee unintentionally upsets her. She loves her parents, though she does not see them frequently as they often travel around Teyvat and thus have little time to spend with her.
Appearance
Klee uses the short female model. She has pale skin, light red eyes, pale blonde hair with a prominent cowlick, and elf ears.[Note 1]
Official Introduction

The Happy Little Spark... always getting locked up in solitary confinement
===============================
In the streets and back alleys of Mondstadt, it is said that there is a girl in red, who holds an unparalleled treasure within the Knights of Favonius.
No matter where or when this girl appears, it's not long before everything goes up in flames.
What's more, as the aftermath of the explosions fades away, she disappears without a trace — there are few who have ever seen her face.
Amongst the swirling rumors, there are even those that go so far to say that she is the most powerful within the Knights of Favonius.
Though as far as Acting Grand Master Jean is concerned, using this power for such destruction simply means...
Solitary confinement's gonna need some upgrades!
Character Stories
Character Details
When the patrons of Mondstadt's taverns are asked about the strongest knight of the Knights of Favonius, three names are likely to come up:
The highly reputable Acting Grand Master Jean, Cavalry Captain Kaeya, and the mysterious tycoon, Diluc.
However, some claim to have witnessed, albeit through bleary, drunken eyes, a knight in red, leveling the entire Stormbearer Mountains.
If one wants to find this mysterious knight, then they need look no further than the solitary confinement cell inside the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.
If the cell is found vacant... then something explosively unfortunate is likely about to take place...
Klee is well known for the danger she presents. As an official member of the Knights of Favonius, her strength in combat cannot be underestimated.
As a hyperactive child, meanwhile, her destructive capabilities cannot be overstated.
After all, while other Mondstadt children her age are still playing with regular toys, Klee's favorite toys are... live explosives.
Character Story 1
Friendship Lv. 2
Three years ago, Klee was entrusted to the Knights of Favonius by her parents, who were famed adventurers.
This was how the fates of Klee and "that boy in white" became intertwined with their "family" in Mondstadt.
Klee is curious about everything in the outside world. She has an innocent passion for explosives, and is incredibly enthusiastic in all that she does.
Under the protection of the Knights of Favonius, she is protected from harm and those of ill intent.
This young girl soon forged an unbreakable bond with everyone in the Knights of Favonius.
Being sent to the solitary confinement room by Jean, helping Amber improving Baron Bunny, as well as developing new bombs...
These parts of Klee's life are all invaluable treasures to her.
Character Story 2
Friendship Lv. 3
"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree..."
Jean sighs to herself as she sits down at her desk, head in hands, faced once again with a stack of damage reports.
Carts blasted beyond repair, storage shacks burnt down, forest fires that the knights barely managed to contain...
Not to mention the suspiciously high number of deaths from unnatural causes among the fish of Starfell Lake.
There's only one potential culprit behind all of this, and she just so happens to be one of their own...
"Klee!"
Faced with Jean's stern glare, the harmless-looking Klee surrenders all her concealed explosives.
She is then escorted to solitary confinement, despite her protests amidst floods of tears.
This occurs about once or twice a week at the Knights of Favonius.
Character Story 3
Friendship Lv. 4
Of course, Klee always tries to help clean up the messes she's made.
However, sometimes her reckless personality makes things worse still.
For example, she once wanted to apologize to everyone by making some BBQ fish, but ended up blowing the stove sky-high.
Then there was the time she got into a fluster and tried to put the fire out... with wind — which obviously resulted in the whole plain going up in flames.
Klee is not a bad kid by nature, it's just that her curious and playful nature always results in her failing to think before she acts.
And every time she gets into trouble, she guiltily tries to make up for it.
Though once Jean lets Klee out of solitary confinement, there's usually no more than a day or two before the sound of explosions return to Mondstadt.
The "Spark Knight" always manages to live up to her title in a range of unexpected ways.
Character Story 4
Friendship Lv. 5 • 
True Treasure
Though Klee always ends up causing trouble for the Knights of Favonius and Mondstadt, she isn't just some rookie who drags the team down.
On the contrary, her skills with explosives can be quite handy if applied correctly.
Once, Jean was able to defeat a horde of invading hilichurls utilizing Klee's special talents alone.
However, Klee also forever changed the face of Stormbearer Mountains in that same operation due to recklessly placing too many charges...
Needless to say, everyone was more than a little shocked, but at least no one from the Knights of Favonius was injured.
Since then, the legend of the "Red Knight of the Stormbearer Mountains" began to circulate around Mondstadt.
Rumor has it that she is cloaked in red, and clutches the greatest treasure the Knights of Favonius have.
However, only Klee knows what this "treasure" truly is.
Character Story 5
Friendship Lv. 6 • True Treasure
To Klee, the Knights of Favonius are family, and she can't imagine life without them. Her biggest role model, however, is still her birth mother — the avid adventurer, Alice.
A highly renowned adventurer and author of the popular Teyvat Travel Guide, there is nothing this incredible mother cannot do — as far as Klee is concerned, anyway.
Whether it's the way she used to guide Klee step-by-step through the techniques for adding gunpowder and selecting fuses, or the encouragement she'd give Klee to express her creativity through ever-bolder and more beautiful fireworks...
Or that time she taught her how to identify Starsnatch Cliff's load-bearing points, then place explosive charges accordingly to bring the whole thing down...
Or that time they stuck their tongues out at each other awkwardly while being told off by Huffman of the Knights of Favonius...
Klee has many treasured memories of her mother.
This was the way things were until her parents left to travel to somewhere dangerous and far away. They entrusted Klee to the care of Albedo and the Knights of Favonius.
Though still small, Klee knew she would one day become just like her mother.
One day, her explosives would become something that her mother would be proud of.
"Dodoco"
Friendship Lv. 4
Dodoco is Klee's first friend, and one of her best.
A very long time ago, her mother made this doll for her by hand.
Alice affixed it to Klee's four-leaf clover, and hung on her big backpack.
From that day forth, Klee and Dodoco became inseparable.
Her mother said that this would ensure that Klee would never be lonely and that she would have a friend to confide in even when she was alone.
They would also protect each other in times of danger, just like Amber and Baron Bunny.
This, however, caused the Knights no need of worry — considering the other things Alice and her daughter had invented, perhaps this, too, might explode at any time...
"Dodoco" is a name Klee picked herself.
When asked what this name meant, she flushed red for a good long while before replying: "It means... Klee's best friend!"
Vision
Friendship Lv. 6
Asking Klee how she obtained a Vision will probably get you nowhere — she doesn't know, either.
A natural-born pyromaniac, Klee had already been acknowledged by a Vision from a very young age.
According to Klee herself, she had been creating a bomb that was "even bigger than super big!"
This was her very first solo project, but the results were far from expected—
Well, she "only" blew her small workshop sky high, leaving a mountain of smoking ash.
But rather than being disappointed, Klee was pleasantly surprised to see a flaming Vision emerge from those ashes.
How did Klee receive this divine acknowledgment?
Was it her talent and passion for explosives, the individualistic nature she got from her mother, or her shining innocence?
Regardless, Klee had already obtained such a coveted item at a tender, carefree age.
Regardless of what she faces as she grows up, she will never give this "present" up.

History
Trivia
- "Klee" is German for "clover." Her constellation, Trifolium, is Latin for "clover".
- While clover typically has three leaves (the 'tri' in 'Trifolium'), all of the clover motifs seen on Klee's clothes and in her elemental effects have four leaves. Four-leaf clover is traditionally thought to bring good luck to the barer.
- She was the first new character added after the launch of the game. Overall, she was the 22nd playable character introduced to the game.
- In her voice-lines regarding other characters barring Diluc, Klee considers them to be "the best" of her friends. While Albedo is not related to her by blood, she does not address him as such due to her mother asking them to treat each other as siblings.
- Her Troubles voice-line suggests that the typical explanation given to her before being put in solitary confinement is that she has been a "bad girl" and has to "reflect on her actions" during her punishment.
- While her Normal attack consists of throwing bombs, Klee seems to still use her catalyst to summon them.
- Just like her mother, Alice, Klee is blessed with a race of longevity. Both are speculated to be elves.
- Her backpack resembles an elementary schooler's Randoseru.
- Klee shares the same Chinese voice actress with Nahida.
- During the Honkai Impact 3rd × Genshin Impact crossover, Theresa received Klee's clothing as an outfit.
- Klee shares the same birthday as Kuki Shinobu, July 27.
- According to her Birthday Mail, Klee does not always limit her escapades to Mondstadt; one time she managed to travel all the way to the Minlin region of Liyue by herself and blew some scales off the Primo Geovishap while Master Jean was busy working.
- Klee was tapped by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Liyue as a demolitions expert for their Chasm Exploration Team, and was to be accompanied by Kaeya as her guardian. However, she then carelessly blew up the stove at Good Hunter and was subsequently grounded (as was Kaeya, so it's possible he had an active hand in causing the mischief).
- Klee is known by these aliases or titles:
- Spark Knight
- Red Burny Girl (by Razor)
- "Red Knight of the Stormbearer Mountains"
- Wicked girl of flame (by Dodo-King during Midsummer Island Adventure)
- Red Velvet Mage (Blossoming Starlight description)
- Klee is mentioned in the descriptions of the following 10 Furnishings:
Notes
- ↑ While Klee's ears can be described as "elf ears," it is unclear if Klee herself is an elf. Further information can be found in Alice § Trivia.
