The Red Hood Huntress

For centuries her village has been consumed with fear.

Fear of the monsters that lurk in the forests around them,

killing and devouring the innocents at night.

To prevent the killings

each house has to leave out an offering on ever night of a full moon in order to satisfy the monsters that leak into mortal territory.

If they don't

then theses beasts go on a killing and eating frenzy.

But she isn't scared.

Not like many of her fellow citizens.

Her whole life she's been drawn to the forest,

craving adventure,

and possessing a strong curiosity that causes her to attempt the unthinkable.

She doesn't understand why the stories of the "Forest Monsters" never frightened her,

or why she craves adventure that no mortal would ever dare to attempt.

When she wanders off into the forest one night,

she encounters a wolf.

A wolf standing at the height of at least eight feet,

covered in brown fur that seems to shine under the moon's beam,

and yellow eyes that glow in the pitch dark of the forest.

But she's doesn't just encounter an ordinary wolf,

but a Lycan;

Half man and half wolf.

This Lycan is no threat to her.

In fact he's different from his kind.

Different in terms of his gentleness around her,

his character,

and him being the opposite of a "Forest Monster."

He may be her friend the more she becomes close to him,

but they're destined to be enemies

for his ancestors have terrorized her kind,

and her ancestor destroys his.
