Peter

Peter is a minor character on Once Upon a Time. He débuts in the fifteenth episode of the first season in Once Upon a Time, and is Red Riding Hood's boyfriend. He only appears in the fifteenth episode.

Early Life
Not much is known about his early life, except he grew up in the same village as Red, and the two were close friends. Eventaully, this friendship turned into romance. Both Red and Peter had plans to one day leave the village and see the world together. It is also known that he was the son of a blacksmith.

Season One
In their village, every full moon, a mysterious wolf would attack, killing livestock and the unwary. After finding wolf tracks that slowly became human leading back to her home (where he had been just the night before), Red Riding Hood and Snow White conclude that he must be the wolf. Red goes to him and explains her theory. To be safe, he allows her to chain him to a tree so he will not be able to hurt anyone. He at firsts begs Red to go home, to stay safe, but she refuses, instead wanting to be with him.

However, under the full moon, it was not Peter who transformed, but Red. She was the wolf, and with no trace of her former self, attacked Peter. Peter tried to reason with her, to calm her, but she had no control over herself. She killed him, and ate most of his carcass.

Both Snow White and Granny arrived shortly after, but they were too late to save Peter. After throwing the magic cape over Red's wolf form, causing her to become human again, she was forced to flee with Snow White as a hunting party approached.

Trivia

 * It is possible that the character was so named after the story of Peter and the Wolf (with Red being the Wolf)
 * At the beginning of Episode 15, he referenced the story of the Three Little Pigs, jokingly saying he would blow Red's house in.
 * At first, it appears that Granny disapproves of him. But, it could be that she knew Red could not leave, and would be dangerous to him. Also, that would explain why she never let her go outside at night with him. Granny seemed to actually care for him, rushing to his rescue the second Snow White tells her about him being strapped to the tree.
