Teddy Knight is a prodigious footballer known as one of England's best players. He is the latest addition to the New Generation World XI and plays as a winger for England Under-20 at the Under-20 World Cup.

Teddy is considered one of the most promising talents in the world of football and, unlike other professional players, he only sees himself as a puppet under the orders of his coach Fox to direct him and lead him to victory in the World Cup.

She has a slim, slender build and a relaxed posture that conveys a natural, effortless calm. Her face is youthful with soft features, giving her a naturally tranquil and somewhat absentminded expression. Her eyes are light turquoise. She has thick, tousled, crystal-turquoise hair that falls in soft, uneven layers framing her face; a long fringe partially covers one eye, while the rest of her hair is styled in light, tousled strands, giving her a naturally carefree look. She first appears wearing a high-necked training jacket buttoned all the way up and matching track pants; the athletic cut of the garments fits her slender figure comfortably without adding unnecessary bulk.

During matches, Teddy wears the England Under-20 national team uniform with white wristbands and the number 11.

Teddy Knight represents an ideological contrast to the teachings of Jinpachi Ego. He cares little for personal ego or recognition, describing himself as a "worthless junk doll" whose purpose is to be used by his teammates to ensure a collective victory. Teddy maintains a relaxed, aloof, and generally impassive demeanor. When encountering the Blue Lock candidates, he belittles their abilities and tells them to let him win, convinced of his team's superiority. When Bachira tries to accept him as an egotist, Teddy rejects the label, considering egotists to be destructive people who seek personal validation.

Rather than stemming from a simple lack of confidence, Teddy's mindset is a calculated psychological defense mechanism known as self-denial. He believes that Blue Lock's core philosophy—the idea that anyone can achieve their dreams through hard work and individual ego—is a cruel lie that favors natural talent. For Teddy, forcing the weak or ordinary people to develop a football ego is a form of emotional violence. By accepting his own perceived inadequacy and relinquishing his individuality, he protects himself from the frustration of failure and the envy of those who succeed.

Consequently, Teddy is completely loyal to his coach, Fox, following his orders without pursuing his own dreams or desires. Teddy and his teammates willingly sacrificed their egos for Fox in exchange for the chance to win the World Cup. When Agi criticized Fox's ideology, Teddy grabbed him by the collar and told him to leave the team if he couldn't accept being one of his soldiers.

Despite his calm and submissive demeanor, Teddy can become aggressive when others oppose his beliefs or Fox's ideals. He gets irritated when Isagi calls him Fox's lapdog and kicks the ball at Bachira when he tries to call him selfish. His confrontation with Agi also demonstrates the lengths he's willing to go to defend Fox.

Professional football technique: Teddy is a member of the New Generation World XI and possesses exceptional football talent at a young age. He has good shooting and passing skills, on par with the professional league. His greatest strength lies in his dribbling, specifically in the variety and versatility that make it difficult for opponents to read his moves and counter-attack.
Agile dribbling: Teddy employs a quick and agile style of dribbling, easily surprising Blue Lock players and drawing attention from Aryu for his speed. His dribbling is erratic and difficult to predict due to his capricious body language. Only Rin and Isagi were able to stop Teddy with their combined efforts; even then, Teddy managed to evade Rin's attempt at an illegal tackle. Karasu believed it would be easier to break the rules of the game to stop Teddy than to use conventional methods.
Rainbow Cuts: While the average player has around three variations for cutting inside into the center of the field, Teddy has an estimated seven different variations of these cuts, making him unpredictable in one-on-one situations. This earned him the nickname "Rainbow Knight" and a place on the New Generation World XI. Teddy dribbled past Isagi, Hiori, and Yukimiya using these cuts, which involved repositioning his teammates. This skill was considered monstrous, and he held Jinpachi Ego in high regard.
Repulsion Step: When Teddy faces an opponent in close combat, he takes a step back to deceive them into thinking he's retreating. This creates a momentary opening, after which he accelerates with a powerful burst to overpower the opponent. He used this technique against Isagi.

Puppet Maneuver in the Sky: Teddy's quick footwork and tactical control allow him to perform elaborate touches even when off balance. He demonstrates this skill against Isagi and Rin in a 2-on-1 situation, where Rin throws Teddy off balance by grabbing him and tossing him over his shoulder. Despite the aggressive and illegal action, Teddy remained unfazed and placed his hand on Rin's back while precisely spinning the ball around him like a tornado.
Following orders: The England Under-20 players typically follow their coach's instructions when initiating a play. By observing the signals Fox makes from the bench, the players make different decisions on the field, which helps them create an opportunity to launch an attack or a tactical play. During the match against Japan Under-20 at the Under-20 World Cup, before launching a counter-attack, Teddy looked towards the bench to make a decision, and when Fox signaled with his hands, Teddy decided to pass the ball to his teammates, taking it to the attacking line.
Second play: Teddy takes advantage of his speed to get the loose ball and start a new attack, which is executed better thanks to his height.
Flow state: Flow, as described by the Ego, is the state of "total immersion" or "being in the zone." It is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is completely immersed in a feeling of energized concentration, full participation, and enjoyment of the process. Thanks to Fox's "Correct" training formula, Teddy can enter the flow state.

Predator Eye: Described as the opposite of Metavision, instead of expanding his vision, Teddy drastically narrows it, focusing solely on the goalkeeper and patiently waiting for the opponent to lower their guard and score a goal. Teddy first used this ability on his second goal in the match between England U-20 and Japan U-20.

He doesn't have a favorite food. "Whatever I can live on."
His hobbies are watching documentaries and talking to himself, "I'm so incompetent."
