Baby Bonnie Hood, known by the shorthand B.B. Hood and in Japanese as Bulleta, is a character in Capcom's Darkstalkers franchise, introduced in the 1997 fighting game Vampire Savior. She is a red-dressed girl, based on the titular character of the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, who displays a cute personality while secretly having a "psychotic" one, with her ultimate goal to hunt monsters for profit. She has appeared in other games, including Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Cannon Spike. B.B. Hood was designed by Akiman, and internally, people in the development team worried that she may be viewed as otaku pandering.
She has been generally well received, praised for her design and moveset. Her personality switching was discussed by critics, including in the book "The Routledge Companion to Media and Fairy-Tale Cultures" that argued B.B. Hood was a part of a trend to depict Little Red Riding Hood as a "violent avatar" instead of a "child ingénue".
