Mulan (Jamie Chung) will not show up at any point for the rest of season 3, according to a Monday report by E! Online. Mulan was last seen on Once Upon a Time in the third episode of this season joining Robin Hood's (Sean Maguire) band of Merry Men.

Though Mulan will remain unseen for the rest of the season, Once fans should expect to see the return of Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory) very soon, according to the report.

Enstars previously reported on the announcement that Ory would be returning as Red Riding Hood:

"Thrilled to say our favorite wolf/waitress Meghan Ory will be returning this season to #OnceUponATime!" Horowitz tweeted in February.

Ory previously spoke to reporters at the Television Critics Association about the disappearance of her character on Once Upon a Time.

"Red Riding Hood just kind of disappeared into the mist," she said at the time. "I'm told she will be back." The actress noted that she was excited to get back to wearing her cape again.

Ory was in the CBS drama Intelligence and could not appear concurrently on Once Upon a Time because of scheduling conflicts. However, Intelligence still has not been picked up for a season 2 by CBS, indicating that Ory could be back on Once on a more regular basis.

Once Upon a Time season 3 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
