Annabeth Gish as the villainous Anita
Anita (Annabeth Gish) was the villainess from "Child of the Moon," episode 2.07 of Once Upon a Time (airdate November 11, 2012). She was the evil werewolf mother of Red Riding Hood, who was thought to be long deceased.
Red reunites with Anita when she is rescued by Quinn, who is also a werewolf, and learns that Anita is the leader of a pack of werewolves. Anita tells Red that Granny actually kidnapped her because she saw the wolf within her as a monster, but she later learns that she can control it. Once Snow White (who was with Red at the episode's beginning) reunites with Red at Anita's lair, the Evil Queen's huntsmen (who had been tracking Snow) barge in after her, killing Quinn while doing so.
Anita blamed Quinn's death on Snow, and she later ordered her to be tied up so she can be killed by moonrise, establishing Anita's heel turn. The villainess even ordered Red to kill Snow, but Red refused to kill the person she considered a good friend to her. At that moment, the evil Anita transforms and attempts to kill Snow herself, but Red also shifts and fights her mother. Anita ended up impaled as a result, showing disappointment in Red's choice before dying.
