Jean Hood

Jean Hood is a fictional character and, more broadly, a concept often associated with gender-swapped versions of Robin Hood. The character presents Robin Hood's classic characteristics and storyline, but with a female protagonist. Depending on the specific adaptation or interpretation, Jean Hood may be depicted as a skilled archer, a charismatic leader, and a champion of the poor and oppressed, fighting against injustice and tyranny in a similar fashion to the traditional Robin Hood. The name "Jean" serves as a common feminine equivalent to "John," linking the character directly to the original Robin Hood narrative. The appearance of Jean Hood is more frequent in fan fiction, role-playing games, and other forms of creative works rather than canonical or officially licensed adaptations. Her existence highlights the enduring appeal and adaptability of the Robin Hood myth.
