Codename "Red Riding" (わんこずきんミーニャ Wanko Zukin Mīnya, Dog Hood Minya) is a Traitless enemy introduced in Learned to Love, which has a chance to unlock her Legend Cat counterpart Red Riding Mina when completed.
This enemy has a slow attack rate, but uses extremely powerful Long Distance attacks that can hit up to 3,700 range away from her, so try to prevent her from advancing more than 1/5th of the battlefield, as she will easily hit the Cat Base. If she does hit the base, though, you still have some time to beat her before it's too late, as her DPS is pretty low for a Long Distance enemy. She also has a huge blind spot of 2,800, which can be exploited by faster units.
In Learned to Love and Learned to Hate, you can lure her to your base so that her attack hits the base without killing any cats that you deploy. However, in order for this to work, you have to synchronize and kill the H. Nahs quickly and rush towards "Red Riding" before the Le'noirs and Sunfish Jones get in the way. On higher difficulties, Cat Combos may be required to deal with the H. Nahs before it's too late.
A wandering forest girl hired as an assassin by the Dog Army. Feared by the Cat Army for ruthlessly using any tactic necessary to make the kill. Even a long-distance bazooka!
A forest girl assassin hired by the Doge Army. Will use even the most unfair tactics to complete her mission. An annoying enemy whose bazooka can snipe the Cat Base from uber long distance.

Trivia[]
Other than resembling the famously known folktale character Little Red Riding Hood, Codename "Red Riding"'s appearance, personality, and arsenal may be inspired by the Vampire Savior character Baby Bonnie Hood, who dons an innocent "red riding hood" appearance but in reality is a psychopath. She appears with devilish eyes whenever she is seen attacking, similar to "Red Riding". Hidden in her basket are various weaponry, such as landmines, an Uzi, or, just like "Red Riding", a bazooka.
The way Awakened Mina's animals cower in fear when Mina is attacking is also reminiscent of how Baby Bonnie Hood's dog Harry cowers in fear when she attacks.
Specifically on the 19th and 105th frames of her attack animation, Codename "Red Riding" can be seen looking straight down at her basket with an evil grin as she pulls out or puts away her bazooka, her hood casting a shadow over her eyes. Since these moments only last for only a single frame each, they're almost unnoticeable unless Codename "Red Riding" gets frozen at just the right time.
She uses an exploding Doge Dark as a rocket, which is replaced by a Killer Cat when she joins the Cat Army.
She has the largest blind spot in the game, at 2,800.
