[+] ► [-] Red Riding Hood Bio

Red lives with her grandmother, Granny. During wolf's time—a once a month occurrence that happens during the full moon—a big bad wolf terrorizes the locals—ripping through livestock, eating people, polluting wells—typical big bad wolf stuff.

Red and Granny

Red loves Peter, a long-time friend, but they can't see each other because of Granny, who is very protective of Red. She scarcely lets Red out of her sight and makes her wear a red riding hood that she claims is a wolf repellent.

Every night during wolf's time, Granny and Red hunker down by barring the door and securing the windows of their cottage. After locking up tighter than Fort Knox, Red goes to bed, and Granny keeps watch with a crossbow that's loaded with a silver-tipped bolt.

You shall not pass.

One morning, while gathering eggs, Red finds Snow White hiding in their chicken coop. She welcomes Snow White into their home, and Snow White soon notices Granny's intensity.

BUSTED: Frosty the egg-thief

Red confesses that she feels trapped by Granny's wolf-phobia. Snow White tells Red that Granny's right to be concerned for her safety, but she's wrong to use the wolf as an excuse to keep Red and Peter apart.

Red figures she and Peter can be together if she kills the wolf. Snow White tries to talk her out of it, but Red is determined, so they set out to kill the wolf. They find the wolf's tracks and follow them directly to Red's window. They have a Scooby-Doo moment and deduce that Peter must be the wolf since he visited Red at her bedroom window the previous night.

Dude, he is so the wolf. You have to tell him.

Red refuses to believe that Peter is the murderous wolf, and Snow White suggests that maybe turning into the wolf also gives him amnesia. Red decides that must be true, and to prevent further death-by-werewolf, she also decides to tell Peter that he's the wolf. Red knows Granny'll soon be looking for her if she isn't home soon, so Snow White stays behind to deal with Granny while Red sneaks away to meet Peter and deliver the bad news.

Red and Peter

Snow White devises a plan that could've come from The Middle Schoolers Guide to Fooling Parents; she puts on Red's cloak and lies in her bed, hoping Granny wouldn't know the difference. The only thing lamer than that would've been wrapping a pillow in Red's cloak and joining Red.

*tee-hee-hee* Granny will never know the difference.

At night fall, Granny calls on Red to help secure the cottage. Snow White lies still, and Granny--believing her to be a sleeping Red--tries to wake her and discovers the ruse. Snow White admits that Red has gone to tell Peter he's the wolf. Snow White begins to ramble and lecture, but Granny has no time for her jibber-jabber and issues a well-deserved, yet sanitized version of STFU, when she says, "You stupid, careless, ridiculous girl."

Granny wishing she could turn into a werewolf and bite Snow's head off

As it turns out, Granny's overprotective behavior towards Red was not to keep Red safe from the wolf but to keep everyone safe from Red because Red Riding Hood is a bloody werewolf, as was her mother and grandfather before her, and she's unaware that she's the vicious monster that's been terrorizing the locals.

Granny's also a werewolf and uses her keen werewolf sense of smell like GPS to track Red. Snow White tags along, and Granny reveals that she bought Red's cloak from a wizard, and it's enchanted—the cloak will stave off transformation if worn. They find Red, but since Snow White is wearing Red's magical cloak, Red is now Big Bad Wolf Red. And she's in the process of tearing Peter limb from limb.

Red and Peter

Red lunges at Snow and Granny, but Granny takes herself and Snow off the menu by shooting Red with a silver-tipped bolt. Red drops out of the air like The Hindenburg and lands with a thud. Granny orders Snow White to cover Red with the cloak. Once covered, deadly-werewolf-Red becomes confused-human-Red. Granny and Snow White tell her that she's the wolf. Red's on the verge of a breakdown, but there isn't time for that because wolf hunters are approaching. Granny tells Snow White and Red to leave immediately. They exit, leaving Granny to face the oncoming hunters.
