Please help me. Is this character idea lame?
These are not main characters. I hope it isnt confusing. And also its fantasy type o story ( proba ily +12) but i really need help from everyone!

So since i was a kid ive always loved "little red riding hood" and i thought i could use it somehow so heres my idea:
Girl -> Raven ( not sure about the name..) - dark hair - white skin - yellow eyes - she is very shy yet dangerous. Very. XD ( based on the wolf )
Boy -> Jasper - blond hair - green eyes - very strong and serious yet silly ( based on red riding hood ; please dont think of him like a shy or weak person, imagine the red riding hood boy version. The hot version. ( xD )

Its just an idea. Im just asking if i should use it or is it stupid. What do you think. If any questions i will answer right away!! Thank you for reading!

I think that does sound original, I know a few things have been done with Little Red Riding Hood type stories, but it's not overwhelming enough that it would be too cliche. Another thing that adds originality is that the girl is based on the wolf, and I'm happy to see you taking that direction. So often it's always the boy that's the darker one, and I think people are starting to get tired of that. One thing that WOULD end up making it more cliche, however, is if Raven ended up losing that wolfish nature. A lot of times authors create characters with a bit of darkness in them just to make them hotter or more interesting, and then they smooth them out to these perfect little angels by the end.

I do like the sound of where you're going in that case though!
