Description Do you know why my Grandmother called me Red, like Red riding hood from the brothers Grimm story?

You see the story goes, from what I was told, that one of my ancestors was in Germany about the time Wilhelm Grimm was alive. The story was practically based on her, she wore a Red hood but no wolf was after her, she was the wolf and the hunter was the one after her instead. Because of her inherited curse and because he thought she was a monster.

The story was written in a way of protecting my ancestor, because she saved him from a werewolf at the time. If anyone asked the hunter saved the 'supposed' little girl from the monstrous wolf, hiding the real truth from the public and keeping the fact monsters were real to himself.

And in return she told the man about the theme for another story, the real story behind Hansel and Gretel. Which he rewrote in his own way.
