Red Riding Hood

Red Riding Hood is the fairytale alter ego of Ruby. She is also the granddaughter of Granny.

Snow White calls her "Red" and reveals that she would help her when no one else would. Red Riding Hood also brought Snow food once a month and told her of the world's current events, including Prince James's wedding to Abigail.

Her backstory is revealed in episode 15, titled "Red-Handed".

Trivia

 * Many scholars claim that Little Red Riding Hood is a metaphor for puberty (with the red cape representing menstruation) and is meant as a cautionary tale against young girls going after their carnal desires (the wolf). This may explain why Little Red Riding Hood's alter-ego, Ruby, is usually shown as being flirtatious.
 * In the classic fairytale, Red Riding Hood goes through the woods to visit her grandmother. She encounters the Big Bad Wolf and the outcome of the story depends on the version.
