Red Riding Hoodoo, born Shondra Vey in the swamps of south Louisiana, did not have many years as a child. Marie, her mother, moved to Pulp City when Shondra was 5 to escape from someone, or maybe it was something. Marie never told Shondra the full story. Nor did Marie talk much about her family until the day she got the fateful letter from her mother that would cut short Shondra’s childhood.
Without much of an explanation, Marie sent little Shondra on a plane to Louisiana to deliver a small basket of medicine to her grandma. With just a couple of bucks in her pocket and grandma’s address, Shondra started a trip that would change her life forever.
Upon her arrival she learned that an evil coven of black magic practitioners had captured her grandma. Discovering powerful charms in the basket her mother had packed and guided by the hoodoo call in her blood, Shondra set out into the dark world of long-forgotten rituals and human sacrifice and would emerge as Red Riding Hoodoo.
Shondra faced a Loup Garou, an evil man transformed into a wolf and controlled by a voodoo priest. She called on the secret powers of her grandmother, summoning the spirits of her tortured slave ancestors. The wolf-man attacked but failed to harm the girl. So powerful were the spirits surging in Shondra that she was able to trap the man in his wolf form forever, neither dead nor alive. She saved her grandma and both managed to escape the clutches of the cruel coven. After several years, Shondra realized that she had crossed the path of The Coven, a shadowy organization that for centuries has used dark means to affect politics and the economy. The ageless leader of The Coven, Papa Zombie, instructed his Strike Team to hunt down Red Riding Hoodoo at all costs.
Red Riding Hoodoo masters the secret art of hoodoo. Shondra quickly became an adept at harnessing the malign powers of hate and pain, but she still seeks to learn the white arcana of healing. She is usually seen accompanied by an unnaturally big wolf with shabby fur and glowing pale eyes. Some say it is the vile Loup Garou Hoodoo had managed to defeat many years ago. Conscious of her powers, and the responsibility that comes with them, Hoodoo has just recently joined Blood Pact, a team of haunted Supremes who have sworn to protect Pulp City from black magic and the bloodthirsty appetites of the Lords of Necroplane.
