# Baby Bonnie Hood
**Baby Bonnie Hood**, known in Japan as **Bulleta** (バレッタ, Baretta), is a fictional character in Capcom's Darkstalkers series of gothic horror-themed 2D fighting games. She first appears in *Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire* (released outside Japan as *Darkstalkers 3*) and is inspired by [Little Red Riding Hood](https://www.edgepedia.org/little-red-riding-hood), reimagined as a human bounty hunter who hunts monsters with firearms, knives, and bombs.[1](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood) • [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OOiuvUtoRU)

## Character and design
Baby Bonnie Hood looks like Little Red Riding Hood but is a sadistic, psychotic bounty hunter with a hatred of monsters.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/) Character designer Akiman stated in his design notes that every [Darkstalkers](https://www.edgepedia.org/darkstalkers) character is inspired by something in fantasy, myth, and horror, but that in creating Baby Bonnie Hood he wanted to make something more sinister; she embodies humanity's worst qualities, greed and extreme violence.[6](https://capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood) • [7](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/es/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood) Her design may also draw on literary versions of the fairy tale by [James Thurber](https://www.edgepedia.org/james-thurber) and [Roald Dahl](https://www.edgepedia.org/roald-dahl), in which Red kills the wolf, with Dahl's version mentioning her making a coat from the wolf's pelt.[1](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood)
**A human among monsters.** She is the only full human in the Darkstalkers cast, and Den of Geek's series history describes her as the punchline of a game otherwise filled with vampires, werewolves, and zombies: with all the monsters involved, BB Hood represents the monster that is man.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/) She is also the only character in the series with no supernatural powers, yet she was treated as an honorary Darkstalker for Jedah's tournament in *Vampire Savior* because her soul is apparently as dark as those of the monsters themselves.[8](https://bogleech.com/halloween/hall18-darkstalkers) Her official biography describes her as a secret agent disguised as an innocent girl, pulled into Majigen, the secluded space created by the reborn Jedah, where she immediately plans to capture devils for profit.[9](https://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters/bbhood.html)
Her profile identifies her as a Special S-Class Hunter, a designation that may reference the Strider series, in which [Strider Hiryu](https://www.edgepedia.org/strider-hiryu) holds an elite Special A-Class rank reserved for the best Striders.[1](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood) She travels with a pet dog named Harry, who is two years old during the events of Darkstalkers 3; Harry is a parody of [Toto](https://www.edgepedia.org/toto-oz) from *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz*.[6](https://capcom.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood)
## Appearances
Baby Bonnie Hood debuted as a playable character in *Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire* (1997) and returned in *Vampire Savior 2*.[1](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood) • [5](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Baby_Bonnie_Hood_moves) She appears in crossover titles including *Marvel vs. Capcom 2*, where she joined Morrigan, Felicia, and Anakaris as the Darkstalkers representatives in a large cast.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/) Capcom's Dreamcast gun-shooting game *Cannon Spike* included her among an assortment of Capcom heroes and villains, depicting her as not exactly a team player.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/)
She also appears in compilation and re-release titles such as *Darkstalkers Resurrection* and the *Capcom Fighting Collection*, the latter adding online play with rollback netcode.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/) • [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OOiuvUtoRU) In the Udon Darkstalkers comics, she appears in a side story, "The Silver Necklace," in issue 6.[1](https://darkstalkers.fandom.com/wiki/Baby_Bonnie_Hood)

She can double jump, and her move set includes ES moves, enhanced versions of special moves that consume one stock of Super Meter.[10](https://www.cheatcodes.com/guide/strategy-guide-darkstalkers-3-vampire-savior-playstation-12219/) • [11](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/arcade/583724-vampire-savior-the-lord-of-vampire/faqs/1243) A GameFAQs guide for the [PlayStation 2](https://www.edgepedia.org/playstation-2) compilation *Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection* describes her as the weakest character in the game, noting that her Dramatic moves can be blocked.[12](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/926818-vampire-darkstalkers-collection/faqs/1241)
## Reception
The character is frequently cited among the series' most distinctive designs. Den of Geek calls her the true star of *Vampire Savior* and an amazing design who is fun to play.[4](https://www.denofgeek.com/games/darkstalkers-the-history-of-capcoms-monster-fighting-game/)
