### Other outfits worn by Red

* For Halloween, she dressed like a witch and wore a hat and black cape.
* In one episode, when imagining herself as an older girl while thinking of a career she was shown to look the same, but wore a purple top and skates with red shorts.
* In syndication, she is shown wearing a red crew neck t-shirt, pink shorts and a red bandana, sometimes she wears a red helmet. Her roller skate shoes remained the same.
* In "Little Red Riding Hood", Red in her storybook is identical to what she looks like in Storybook Village. Except that she is seen in her traditional fairytale outfit, complete with a hooded cape, light red sleeves and standard shoes instead of roller skate shoes.

## Personality

Red is a friendly and caring girl who tries to do whatever she can to help others; especially her friends. She can be childish from time-to-time, or tempermental when thing don't go the way she had hoped - but her intentions seem to always mean well in the end, even when she fails to express them properly. Her top priority is always making others have a good time and cheer up if they feel down. Despite her cuteness and beauty, Red appears to be a tomboy, and isn't as feminine as most of the girls appear to be in the series. However, she doesn't mind doing things that Princess Presto or the other girls do either. She is very enthusiastic with most things, but seems to show some concern over not fitting in during certain events or situations. She lives in a small red house near the forest. Red lives a few miles away from her grandmother, whom she loves very much. She also loves her puppy and red velvet cake.

## Wonder Red

Transformed, Red becomes *Wonder Red.* With *Word Power* she is able to transform an item into something else, remove the item, alter the item's shape or use it to find the correct item she needs. She is able to do this using her Word Basket while singing a small rhyme while thinking of what she needs. Initially in The Story Of The Super Readers, she was able to transform words from her Word Basket into items.

In this form, her hair is worn in braided pigtails and her hat becomes a red and purple helmet. Her shoes turn into purple rollerskates accented by lavender and red, while her outfit is now a purple and red two-piece bikini (only with a pair of very long braids) with a red belt with a spiral in the center. She wears a long flowing red cape, a pair of purple and red skate gloves, and a pair of kneepads.

In the **syndicated** version, sparkles were added to her costume to match Princess Presto's outfit.

Wonder Red's Why Flyer resembles an airborne scooter. It's red and smooth with purple lining, wings, parts on top, seat, and sheels underneath. Her why flyer lacks the glass piece in front of her, due to her holding onto its handles when flying around. A spiral mark is on the front to match her belt. The question mark trail that flies from the why flyer is a scarlet-red color.

## Red’s Family

As stated, Red lives some distance away from her grandmother, her only known relative. Even though Red's parents are obviously around, there is no information about them. It is unknown whether she lives with one or both parents.

Red cares deeply for her and loves to help her grandma and tries to think of new ways to show her how much she cares about her. She also loves to eat Grandma's delicious snacks!

Red also has a pet puppy she is sometimes seen with near the end of Season 1 when she gets her. But unlike Woofster, she is not part of the Super Readers group.

## Trivia
