"Ethan Redd" is a story in Prince, a series of gender-bend princess stories. My goal is to maintain the same universal, cross-gender themes. This was particularly difficult in this case since sexual predation is male-dominated, and there is also no strongly marketed feature film from Disney using this story.
"Little Red Riding Hood" is a warning story about being too presumptuous at a young age, and falling unknown victim to the unknown dangers of adult world. Rather than just deliver groceries, our Redd is the son of an army captain and grandson of a famous war general. Longing to fill the footsteps of his forebears, he enlists in the army and is sent to deliver medicine to his ailing grandfather. Along the way, he meets a she-wolf, a foreign spy whose arsenal of weaponry includes her sexuality and whose mission is to eliminate the general.
However, rather than employ the (deus-ex-machina) rescue tactic of the woodsman, Redd uses his own intelligence to avoid certain death.
On another note, wolves are hard to draw.
