History

Before First Curse

Peter is the son of a blacksmith and grows up in the same village as Red Riding Hood. The two are close childhood friends and Peter often defends her. For a long time, Red harbors feelings for him and these feelings develop the more time they spend with one another, eventually culminating in them sharing kisses. When Peter hears Red sold her cross necklace to pay taxes, he pickpockets it back for her, to her gratefulness. He also adopts a deceased neighbor's dog and names him Copper. Despite Granny's disapproval, Peter and Red continue their relationship and plan to one day leave the village and see the world together. Their friendship eventually blossoms into romance. ("Red's Untold Tale")

In their village, every full moon, a mysterious wolf attacks, slaughtering livestock and the unwary. Peter and Red long to run away together, but they are unsafe due to the wolf's dangerous killings and also because Red's Granny, Widow Lucas, does not let her out of the house very often. While with Snow White, Red finds wolf tracks that slowly become human footsteps leading back to her home. Recalling that Peter visited her last night, she comes to the horrific conclusion the wolf must be him. That night, Red meets Peter out in the forest and tells him her theory. To be safe, he allows her to chain him to a tree so he will not be able to harm anyone else. He begs Red to go home for safety, but she refuses and wants to stay with him. Back in the village, Snow White masquerades as a sleeping Red by borrowing Red's cloak but is caught by Widow Lucas. She questions Snow White about where Red is, and after admitting Red is with Peter, Widow Lucas shows alarm and concern for his safety.

Under the full moon, it is not Peter who transforms, but Red. Peter tries to make wolf Red recognize who he is, but she has no trace of her former self. She kills him and devours most of his carcass. Both Snow White and Granny arrive shortly after but are too late to save Peter. Instead, all Widow Lucas can do is shoot wolf Red with a silver arrow to immobilize her temporarily. Then, Snow White throws a cloak over the unconscious wolf Red to bring her back to human form. Red awakens confused but is distraught with sorrow when she sees what she as the wolf did to Peter. With the hunting party approaching to capture the wolf, Red is forced to flee with Snow White. ("Red-Handed")
