There isn't a female form, sorry. No "knavess" or anything. :) However, depending on the definition you are going for, you could use "maid" (as in "kitchen wench," not "fair maiden"), or miscreant, scoundrel, or rapscallion. Here is the Merriam-Webster page listing synonyms for villain (one of the meanings of knave), if you want more choices: http://merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/thesaurus?book=Thesaurus&va=villain
