In her original fairytale incarnation, LittleRedRidingHood was a naive, helpless little girl who was at the mercy of [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a vicious predator]]. The story has become so ingrained into Western culture that any time we see a little girl dressed in a red hooded coat on television, [[LittleDeadRidingHood it is reasonable to expect that something terrible is going to happen to her]].

However, given the popularity of the FracturedFairytale, it was inevitable that this story would recieve modern updates. Modern versions of 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".

A popular, [[{{Grimmification}} Grimmified]] variant is to give her a gun and have her hunt down the "wolf" (Who [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent may]] or [[AnimalMotif may not]] be a literal wolf) herself. This variant will feature a teenage or adult Red, who will naturally be HotterAndSexier, making her double as a LadyInRed. (BonusPoints- can anyone find a version that has her say "What big eyes you have." [[PreMortemOneLiner just before she shoots someone?]])

* AngelaCarter, known for making updated, modernized versions of fairy tales, has two short stories involving this to varying degrees. In Werewolf, the little heroine is attacked by a werewolf on her way to her grandmother's place and [[LittleMissBadass cuts off its paw with a knife]]. Upon arrival, she finds her grandmother delirious and missing her hand. The grandmother is subsequently stoned to death and the little girl inherits her things. In the other story, The Company of Wolves, the girl meets a charming young man on the way. When she arrives at the house, she finds that the young man is actually [[PaperThinDisguise a wolf in disguise]], who has already killed her grandmother. Her reaction is to [[DissonantLaughter laugh at the standard "What big eyes you have"]] routine and promptly hop into bed with him.

* B.B. Hood from {{Darkstalkers}}.

* In ''{{Crimson}}'' a comic book about vampires (and other monsters) had a human female who wore a red hood named Scarlet (obviously). While in the story she fought, with and against mostly vampires, her origin centered around fighting werewolves (obviously).

* 'Red' in ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked''. Hunts wolves with an ax.

* Ringo Akai from {{Ookami-san}} is a Japanese version of Red Riding Hood and exemplifies this trope, carrying weapons in her basket and often showing a BattleAura of malign power.

Hood) from ''{{Darkstalkers}}'', the resident LittleMissBadass [[BadassNormal Normal]], AxCrazy, BountyHunter, CreepyChild, EvillyAffable and DarkActionGirl [[GirlWithPsychoWeapon With Psycho Weapon]].
