Blanchette

Real Name, Blanchette Marelle. She's known as the Red Hooded Huntress, sometimes nicknamed as Red Hood, or simply Red. She's a girl in her mid 20's, who's dedicated her life to tracking down and killing any monster who settles to close to humanity. Despite her conviction in her job, she doesn't kill monsters on sight, as she's willing to let monsters who leave humanity alone or even align themselves with humans to their own devices.

Blanchette has red eyes, blond hair, and always wears her red cloak and hood. She is lean, fit, and well aware of her incredible ass.

Blanchette has a dark secret she can't tell anyone. Personality wise she comes off as cold or distant, but deep down she's incredibly hot headed and protective. When she's able to cut loose in privet or on the hunt she can be erratic and sometimes even sadistic, but always stays focused on her goal, whatever that may be.

When Blanchette was just a little girl no older than 9, she got separated from her parents on a trip to her grandmothers house. Left alone and lost in the woods, she wandered around before finding a mysterious Woodsman who saved her from a wolf. The Woodsman agreed to take Blanchette to her Grandmothers house. However once there, the Woodsman revealed himself to be a werewolf. He killed Blanchette's parents and grandmother, forcing the scared girl watch as he ate them alive. Once he was full, he bit Blanchette, infecting her with the werewolf's blood before disappearing.

Because of this, Blanchette was turned into a werewolf against her will. She struggled to control her wolf side, staying in the woods for a year as she was afraid to loose control and hurt anyone. Eventually she met a monster hunter named Charles Perrault who taught Blanchette how to control her Wolfblood. Blanchette can now transform to and from a werewolf on command, though it's incredibly painful. She keeps this side of her hidden to avoid causing fear from the people she swore to protect. Her wolf's blood makes her stronger faster and gives her enhanced vison and smell. She's able to spot or smell mythical creatures close to her. However her werewolf curse also makes her incredibly hungry pretty much all the time, especially for any food that's high in iron such as liver. She also has a high sex drive due to her wolf blood's survival instincts. She tries not to show these two sides to anyone but her closest allies.

Charles took Blanchette under his wing, and trained her to be a huntsmen. She's dedicated her life to this cause now, and has set off on her own to travel as a nomad where she's needed. She remains distant to all except her master, Charles, and a few other huntsmen who she's befriended during her training.

One of her friends is a woman and fellow huntress of similar age names Anais Josephine, who lost her arms during an imp attack on her fathers mill when she was young. She was adopted by a local noble and was given mechanical arms of silver. When she was a teenager she begged her adoptive father to let her become a huntress. Her father agreed but only if she came back to visit every Christmas when able. Anis and Charles are the only huntsmen who know about Blanchette's true nature as a werewolf. Blanchette and Anis were brief lovers during their training, but Blanchette realized this was just her wolfs blood seeking intimate contact and broke things off, something that Anis is still a little broken hearted over, but she doesn't let it get in the way of their friendship.

Blanchette is an incredibly skilled fighter. She uses a great sword as her main weapon, specially modified to be lightweight but give her the reach and manipulation needed to fight larger monsters. She's also well trained in using hunting spears, bows, and even early wheellock firearms, though she doesn't travel with the latter.

There are many fantasy monsters both humanoid or other in this world. Because of that humans are in a constant struggle for survival outside of their great cities.

Blanchette has a parasitic creature that produces a strange but bright bioluminescent light she named Wilhelm. She keeps this strange fungus like parasite in a lantern. She has to feed it blood in order to keep it alive. Normally she takes vials of blood from whatever creature she's slain, but if she hasn't found any blood for a while she'll feed her own to Perrault.
