History Characters / RedRidingHood

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: To an extent. The Wolf only started terrorizing the village because [[spoiler: he discovered his wife had cheated on him and lied to him about the parentage of his eldest child]], causing it to snap and go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He steps into this as the film progresses, starting with torturing Roxanne's intellectually disabled brother as a 'witch' for doing card tricks, using Valerie as bait for the Wolf and killing [[spoiler:Father Auguste]] for trying to intervene.

* RichBitch: She's implied to be one. She forced her son to marry a woman of her choosing rather than the woman he actually loved. Whilst paying her respects to her future granddaughter-in-law after her sister is killed, she condescendingly comments that Valerie has always been "the pretty one", ''whilst her sister's body is laid out nearby''. She also seems to blame Valerie and her family for [[spoiler: her son's death]], glaring at them after [[spoiler: his body is returned]].

* WidowWoman: Her husband has been dead for many years and she now lives alone in the woods.

* AnAxToGrind: His WeaponOfChoice. It's justified, seeing as he’s a woodcutter.

* GoodBadGirl: She is a sweet and virtuous heroine who deliberately seduces Peter for a tryst in the granary while engaged to Henry (albeit against her will). Fornication and adultery were both considered serious sins that a medieval woman could get in a lot of trouble for. Her fornication even results in an out of wedlock baby, possibly another reason why she moves out of the village.

* SympatheticAdulterer: She makes out with Peter while engaged to Henry, although she's portrayed more sympathetically as she didn't have a say about marrying Henry.

* GoodBadGirl: She is a sweet and virtuous heroine who deliberately seduces Peter for a tryst in the granary while engaged to Henry (albeit against her will). Fornication and adultery were both considered serious sins that a medieval woman could get in a lot of trouble for. By the end of the film, she has become an unwed mother, possibly another reason why she moved out of the village.

* GoodBadGirl: She is a sweet and virtuous heroine who deliberately seduces Peter for a tryst in the granary while engaged to Henry (albeit against her will), thus making her guilty of fornication and adultery which were both considered serious sins that a medieval woman could get in a lot of trouble for. By the end of the film, she has become an unwed mother, possibly another reason why she moved out of the village.

* DistressedDamsel: When Father Solomon ties her up to be bait for the Wolf, needing to be rescued by the combined efforts of Cesaire, Peter and Henry.

* ReturningTheWeddingRing: [[spoiler: A non-ring variant. When she and Henry mutually end their engagement, she gives him back the bracelet he'd made her as a wedding gift]].

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: It turns out that the Wolf's primary motivation is [[spoiler: persuading his daughter Valerie to become a werewolf and run away with him]]. It also loved [[spoiler: Lucie and his mother, though this didn't stop him from killing them both, either out of anger or to keep his secret]]. [[LoveMakesYouEvil This same love also underscores some of its more malevolent actions]].

* NobleDemon: [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope At first]]. Whilst previous generations of werewolves terrorized Daggerhorn, stealing children from their beds, this Wolf simply demands they provide livestock for it to feast on when there's a full moon and otherwise leaves them be. [[spoiler: Then he found out his wife had cheated on him...]]

* AWolfInSheepsClothing: A near literal example. The Wolf is one of the villagers of Daggerhorn, pretending to be an ordinary citizen. It's [[TheReveal revealed]] to be [[spoiler: Cesaire, Valerie's drunk and bumbling, but otherwise loving and seemingly harmless father.]]

* ShootTheDog: He kills one of his men after being bitten by the Wolf, as "a man bitten is a man cursed". [[spoiler: He himself is later on the receiving end of this]].

* HappilyMarried: Seemingly to Suzette. [[spoiler: Subverted, as it turns out he was planning on abandoning her and taking the kids, and he is ''not'' happy when he finds out she cheated on him]].

* NotActuallyHisChild: [[spoiler: It's revealed he discovered Lucie was fathered by another man and in his rage he killed her]].

* {{Parental Hypocrisy}}: She tries to force Valerie to marry a man she doesn't love for money and security and tells her to just put up with it, as she may eventually come to love her husband as she did. [[spoiler: It's then revealed that Suzette cheated on Cesaire in the first few years of the marriage and passed her eldest child off as her husband's]].

* SheKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: She is murdered by the Wolf, after she figures out their identity.]]

* GoodShepherd: He's a kind man who just wants to help his flock living in the village, who are preyed upon by a werewolf. After calling in Father Solomon, who's a profession werewolf/{{witch hunter}}, he's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone increasingly horrified by the tactics he uses]]. He's eventually [[spoiler:killed by Father Solomon after trying to stop him.]]

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: He steps into this as the film progresses, starting with torturing Roxanne's intellectually disabled brother as a 'witch' for doing card tricks, using Valerie as bait for the Wolf and killing [[spoiler: Father Auguste]] for trying to intervene.
* HunterOfMonsters / WitchHunter: He makes a living travelling to remote towns and villages, helping them get rid of witches, werewolves and other such creatures. Unfortunately, he takes it to some extreme levels.
