History Main / LittleRedFightingHood

* Red Riding Hood from ''VideoGame/SINoALICE'' likes nothing more than to play. Too bad for everyone else, her definition of "play" pretty much translates to wanton slaughter and is armed with an assortment of nasty weapons and tools for her to play with. Her Concept is even stated to be that of Violence. Her [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Half-Nightmare]] form even takes this to horrifying degrees as she finds [[CombatSadomasochist joy in disemboweling herself]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', [[Characters/SamuraiJackAku Aku] makes a hilarious SelfInsertFic that results in this, and he keeps his EyeBeams in the fic.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Ruby Rose is introduced in the prequel Red Trailer as a girl in a red hooded cape who is walking alone through a forest after visiting someone's grave, only to be attacked by [[AnimalisticAbomination wolf-like monsters]] that she then proceeds to destroy using a [[SwissArmyWeapon hybrid]] [[FriendlySniper sniper rifle]]/[[SinisterScythe scythe]]. [[FairyTaleMotifs Inspired]] by Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, Ruby is almost never seen without her hooded red cape and various wolf imagery, from her wolf-shaped sleeping mask in Volume 1 to a wolf-patterned ammo pouch in Volumes 7-8. As a [[MagicalEye Silver-Eyed Warrior]], she is [[BornWinner destined from birth]] to become one of the world's [[SuperpowerLottery greatest warriors]], using her combat prowess to protect the people from the [[KillAllHumans monsters]] that [[DeathWorld populate]] the world of Remnant.

However, given the popularity of the FracturedFairyTale, it was inevitable that this story would recieve modern updates. Modern versions of "Literature/LittleRedRidingHood" tend to have a feminist vibe, making her tough, streetwise, and able to take care of herself, thank you very much. This updated version will almost always be named "Red."

* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' has the operator Projekt Red, who is a socially awkward Lupo ([[LittleBitBeastly wolf girl]]) who has issues with people invading her personal space. She's a fast-redploy Specialist that serves as an Assassin-type, able to be deployed quickly to surgically take out specific enemies before retreating and preparing for the next target.

* Red is portrayed this way whenever she's a playable character in a ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' video game. Namely ''VideoGame/Shrek2'', ''VideoGame/ShrekSuperSlam'', and ''VideoGame/ShrekSmashNCrashRacing''.

* The Creator/{{Syfy}} [[Film/SyfyOriginalMovie original movie]], ''Red'', starring Creator/FeliciaDay as a werewolf hunter variant.

* Ringo Akai from ''LightNovel/OkamiSan'' is a Japanese version of Red Riding Hood, carrying weapons in her basket and often showing a BattleAura of malign power. She acts as support to the fighters in the group.

A popular, [[{{Grimmification}} Grimmified]] variant is to give her a gun, an [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] or some other weapon and have her hunt down the "wolf" (Who [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent may]] or [[AnimalMotifs may not]] be a literal wolf) herself. This variant will feature a [[AgeLift teenage or adult Red]], who will naturally be HotterAndSexier, making her double as a LadyInRed. If she says "What big eyes you have" it will be a PreMortemOneLiner right before putting one right between said eyes.

* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' invokes this with [[TheGunslinger Ashe]]'s "Little Red Ashe" skin, dressing her up in [[{{Fanservice}} a mildly short]] version of the usual garb and losing none of her badass gunslinging points. Her rifle is even outfitted with [[AnAxeToGrind an axe]] at the end like a bayonet, and [[AssistCharacter her personal assistant]] [[BattleButler B.O.B.]] is redesigned to look like a wolf... who dresses like a grandmother.

* Marissa Meyers' [[Literature/LunarChronicles Scarlet]] knows how to handle both a shotgun and the handgun she carries with her, and takes matters into her own hands regarding her grandmother's disappearance.

* ''Literature/TheAliceChronicles'': the story starts with her escaping an asylum, with her companion The Mad Hatcher, to hunt down and kill the White Rabbit.

''Literature/TheALiceChronicles'': the story starts with her escaping an asylum, with her companion The Mad Hatcher, to hunt down and kill the White Rabbit.

* ''Anime/QueensBlade'' ''Grimoire'' has Zara who is a demon hunting Riding Hood who survive being eaten by the wolf, and gains HealingFactor powers.

* In ''Manga/LudwigRevolution'', she is a badass hitman named Lisette who went AxCrazy [[SelfMadeOrphan on her parents]].

* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxPHYp6G4ow video]] for Music/TheBirthdayMassacre. It features a little girl, who kills the wolf with a knife and then cuts open its stomach to retrieve (what's implied to be her grandmother). Upon finding her dead she takes her white hood (dyed red by the blood) as a memento.

* Red in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'' is pretty much a SociopathicHero. The work goes in a different direction than the norm though as part of the CharacterDevelopment involves her learning morality.
