Sheriff Ida Red is a comic book and cartoon character created by writer/cartoonist Paul Dini.
According to her origin story, young Ida was found as an orphaned baby in the desert outside of remote Mutant, Texas. Raised by the strange inhabitants of the town (a mixture of southwestern plant and animal mutants) teen-aged Ida was convinced she was an outcast until she developed amazing super powers of her own. Later appointed Sheriff, Ida now serves as guardian and peacekeeper of the unique little town.

Can make a right Rose Tree.’”
