Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary

Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary, or Little Red for short, is a tall woman, with a curvy and fit build, whose body is obscured by concealing clothing and bandages. She wears a ragged red cloak, with a peemanently pulled-up hood that keeps her face shrouded in shadow. Her frayed hood has initials embroidered on it, unreadable due to the damage the hood has taken. Many patches can be seen on the hood, suggesting that it's been well-worn. Only one of her yellow eyes is visible, and the lower half of her face is covered by a bizarre mask - resembling a mouth full of jagged and bloodstained, permanently-bared teeth. Under her cloak, she wears a black jacket, studded and reinforced with leather belts, as well as black form-fitting pants, with a metal ankle holster. Her wrists and lengthy legs are covered in bloody gauze, and she wears dark-brown gloves. For footwear, she has brown bloodstained boots. As a ruthless and lethal mercenary, Little Red's weaponry is designed to match – a par of blunderbuss-like pistols that can nonetheless fire in quick succession, as well as a large dagger with a curved, scythe-like blade. She wields these instruments of death with brutal efficiency, bleeding her enemies dry with deep gouges and cleaves before pumping them full of lead. Little Red is incredibly agile and tough, with a downright supernatural tolerance for pain – but it's no surprise, considering how mutilated her body is to begin with. Though she has ample curves, with a generous bust and a sizeable rear end, much of Little Red's body is covered in grievous scars - underneath the hood and mask, her face is a bloody mess, with her left eye missing and her mouth partially torn open on one side. Gruff and no-nonsense on the outside, Little Red makes a living by wandering from place to place, without a home to come back to, and takes "requests" (her terminology, which she insists on), such as bounties put out on dangerous beasts and criminals. Her main goal in life, however, is to find and take brutal revenge on the Big Bad Wolf who had originally mauled and left her for dead — in truth, she is quite literally the Little Red Riding Hood from the fairy tale of the same name.

"She is unusually uncomfortable with parts of her face and body being exposed, or looking at a mirror. Other numerous symptoms of paranoia have been observed in her behavior. She has a strong desire to resolve emergency situations when they break out. She calls it “a request” of some kind."

"The fight has been ongoing for a long, long time. Her disgust for the wolf deepens by the second."

"With steel in one hand and gunpowder in the other, there's nothing to fear in this place. It's more important to deliver a decisive strike in blind hatred without hesitation than to hold on to insecure courage. Let's hope this ever-so-lovely fairy tale will come to an end someday."

"The wolf's death is the one and only thing the red-hooded mercenary can truly enjoy. It seems only darkness awaits those who find the value of their lives in nothing but destruction. Sometimes, it’s good to let go of old hatred, just let that weight off your shoulders."
