The Guide to Korvosa lists her classes, levels & alignment, I believe.

The Guide to Korvosa lists Kroft as an aristocrat 1 / fighter 9 and has her alignment as LN.
If you are running or playing CotCT I would highly recommend purchasing the Guide to Korvosa (I’m not sure if its still available in print, but you should be able to buy the PDF at least), our group has found it a really useful resource.
Be aware that there are some possible campaign spoilers in the book though, if you are a player. The vast majority of them are in the 'Secrets' chapter.

Seconded. The 'Secrets' and the first page of the Appendix (the table showing race, class and alignment for the major NPCs) should be shielded from players' eyes.
If you have the PDF, and access to a PDF editor, you should cut out these sections before handing the remainder to your players.
Note that some of the NPCs might be in need of some overhaul (like the commander of the Hellknights having zero levels in Hellknight, due to the age of the book)
I have a second question about Kroft...
Is she Varisian or Chelaxian?
Ultradan
Cressida Kroft is Chelaxian, since the guide says that "only full-blooded Chelaxian humans can become generals of the field marshal" (p. 37).

Thanks MrVergee!! :D
Since my group that I'm running for actually has a good chance of fighting her (don't ask), I had to create stats for her.
I changed some things. I made her alignment NG. During the campaign she constantly is doing things to improve Korvosa and fight the status quo if she things it's wrong (somewhat CG). And she cuts corners in unlawful ways. But she definitely has Korvosa's best interests at heart, she's not just following orders. Meh, alignment. :)
I also didn't think it was appropriate for her to be just a fighter, so I made her an Inquisitor of Iomedae. If someone is going to lead people, especially if you're the chief of the police, you should have some leadership skills. I also gave her a background of being trained by Vencarlo in swordsmanship (which accounts for their good relationship) and she was previously a detective before being promoted.

TACTICS
Before Combat Cressida casts expeditious retreat, acute senses, divine favor, and keen edge if she expects combat to occur.
During Combat Cressida constantly convinces her targets to give up and place themselves under arrest. She opens combat with swaying word and then hold person if there are any martial targets. Using swift actions, she buffs herself with bane and judgments (destruction +4 sacred damage, healing 4 fast healing) as soon as possible.
Morale If Cressida is outnumbered she'll try to retreat and rally more forces against her opponents.
