Biography[]
Early Life[]
Goldilocks was born to an unknown man and woman and raised on the western outskirts of the southern Northern Kindgom.
Accidental Break-In[]
When she was a child she was deeply in love with a boy named Jack but she did not know how to confess to him. Jack also felt something for her but he did not know how to express his love to her either. One day Goldilocks received a letter which supposedly was from Jack which said that they should meet in a house on the outskirts of town, Goldilocks full of emotion was arranged and went to the house that was said in the letter.
For several hours she waited for Jack to appear until night fell, Goldilocks began to feel tired so thinking that the house belonged to no one, she entered it, she saw three bowls of oatmeal and since she was a little hungry she ate some of the oatmeal that was in the third bowl, which was lukewarm since the other two were very hot and very cold.
She saw three chairs and accidentally broke the smallest one, then unable to stand the dream anymore he went to the rooms, the first bed was very hard the second was very soft, but the third one was quite comfortable so Goldilocks fell asleep on it.
What she did not know is that the house belonged to someone, being from a family of three bears, who, seeing that they had broken into her house, they went to investigate who was in it and found Goldilocks asleep in her son's bed. When Goldilocks woke up and saw the bears she screamed in terror, the bears tried to kill her but she miraculously escaped from the house and fled into the forest.
The bears reported the raid on her home and having fled the scene, Goldilocks was classified as a fugitive.
Meeting Hagetta[]
Goldilocks escaped to the dwarf forests where she was seriously injured by the attack of the bears, she found a cabin there and entered it to hide. There she met Hagetta who cured her with her magic. When she found out that she was a witch, at first she was scared because she thought she would attack her but Hagetta assured her that she would not hurt her.
Hagetta told her that she could stay with her as long as she wanted, over time Goldilocks began to see Hagetta as a mother figure, becoming quite fond of the sorceress, considering her as her second mother.
Criminal Life[]
After that fateful day, Goldilocks began to wander through all the kingdoms, being forced to commit other crimes to survive, which caused the bounty on her head to increase enormously in all the kingdoms. One night he finally managed to sneak into the Center Kingdom and found Jack, she asking him why he had written him that letter, but Jack told him that he was illiterate and could not read or write, so he had not written him that letter.
Goldilocks was a fugitive for several years fleeing and traveling through all the kingdoms determined to find out who had been responsible for writing that letter and therefore ruining her life.
The Wishing Spell[]
Goldilocks was attacked by Malumclaw and his pack of wolves but she was able to easily defend herself from them, later she met Alex and Coner who thanked her for helping them, Goldilocks later left but not before giving the twins a dagger to defend themselves.
Goldilocks sent Jack a dove which was a sign that she would come to see him, that same night Jack went to the forest and when he found her he kissed her. Jack tried to convince her again to let him go with her but Ricitos told him that she was a criminal and he didn't want to ruin her life. Later it began to dawn and Ricitos got on the Porridge to escape from the Center Kingdom. Jack asks her when they will see each other again and before leaving in tears she tells him to wait for the dove.
Then she is seen running away from some soldiers from the Corner Kingdom, she tells her horse Porridge to split up and to meet at dawn, Goldilocks separated from Porridge and start runs through the forest until she finds an old barn which she decides to use as a hiding place to rest. There the Evil Queen communicates with her through a mirror that was there and tells her that the person responsible for writing that letter had been Red Riding Hood.
Goldilocks was manipulated by the Evil Queen to take revenge on Red Riding Hood. She stormed Red's castle and dragged her to the Thornbush Pit. Before she could kill her, Red was captured by the Huntress instead. Goldilocks then aided Alex and Conner in the battle against the Evil Queen.After she kills the Hunter, she fights a duel with her daughter the Huntress, both of them fought a duel that escalated to the tower of the old castle. Goldilocks looked like she was going to lose, when she lost her balance to which the Huntress took the opportunity to try to stab her but Jack shot a cannonball at her that hit the huntress, killing her.
Goldilocks managed to emerge unharmed from the rubble but the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom took the opportunity to arrest her. Red Riding Hood said that all of her crimes would be forgiven immediately, but the general stressed that only her kingdom would forgive her but the other kingdoms would not and they took Goldilocks as a prisoner.
In the dungeons of the northern kingdom, Goldilocks thought about what her life would be like in prison, but before she finished imagining it, Little Red Riding Hood appeared and went to free her. She wrote him a letter in which she was "apologizing" for everything she did to him, although that only made Goldilocks more offended by her, she reluctantly accepted her apology (but not before slapping Red).
Red Riding Hood took him out of the cell and gave him a cloak to hide his face. They both secretly escaped from the dungeons and came out from behind the northern palace where Jack was waiting for them. Goldilocks refused to let him go with her, but Jack, after a long speech, refused to abandon her and she was so moved that in the end she agreed to run away with Jack, disappearing together into the mist of the night.
The Enchantress Returns[]
She and Jack broke into Red's castle after they returned from the happily ever after assembly, both proceeding to put themselves in the service of helping defeat the Enchantress. She proceeds to help in the construction of the fleet to be able to travel easily between the kingdoms, they agreed that they would go first with the Snow Queen, then to the kingdom of the Giant, the mansion of Lady Iris and the lair of the Sea Witch.
A Grimm Warning[]
Jack and Goldilocks were wed in the forest and invited Alex to the ceremony. When the royals needed protection from the Grand Armée, Alex asked them to be their guards. The royals were ambushed and captured. Goldilocks told Jack she was pregnant shortly before they were about to be executed. Then, they saved the royals and taught them to fight. After they escaped and the battle was won, Jack briefly assumed this meant they would settle down, but Goldilocks disagreed. Alex sent them on a mission to find the escaped criminals from Pinocchio Prison.
Beyond the Kingdoms[]
Goldilocks was part of the search party for the Masked Man, but he escaped before their eyes. After Alex was "un-godmothered", she joined Conner and the others to look for clues at the place the Masked Man disappeared. Red asked her to be her matron of honor (which she accepted, crying emotionally- because she couldn't think of a way to refuse). She helped "tame" Red on her wedding day. When they found out that the Masked Man had traveled inside a book, she joined Alex, Conner, Jack, Red, Mother Goose and Lester into the Land of Oz. When the others went on to Neverland, she and Jack stayed behind in Oz to guard the portal book. She returned to the Land of Stories with her friends at the end of the book only to find out the army of literary villains had begun destroying the kingdoms.
An Author's Odyssey[]
Goldilocks and Jack rescued the captured royal families from being executed by The Masked Man. They took them back to a safe haven cave that lead to mines which was where many people had been staying to avoid being attacked by the literary armies. The traveling tradesman predicted that Alex and Conner would go far away but returned with help. Goldilocks sided with the tradesman when everyone else was against him and said that the twins had never let them down before. When Alex and Conner returned to the Land of Stories to let everyone know they were alright they asked a few people to come back with them and "babysit" Conner's characters. Goldilocks volunteered. Goldilocks discovered Auburn Sally was based off of her. After having to put on a show for the patients of Saint Andrews hospital (as a result of people seeing Conner's characters and Charlotte having to pretend they were performers), Goldilocks went into labor. The Masked Man used her to steal an ambulance, and later, she gave birth to a baby boy in the cemetery from Bree's story. She named her son Hero, as she hopes that he would always be the hero in his own story.
Worlds Collide[]
Goldilocks helped fight off the witches and the Literary Army, all while keeping her young son safe. She asks Red to be Hero's godmother after Porridge turn her down and Red says yes. In the future she has broken her hip showing her grandkids how to do handsprints.
Physical Appearance[]
“ | She was young and beautiful. Her eyes were big and blue, and her hair was half up and flowed in long, golden curls. She wore a long, maroon knit coat with black leggings and very tall boots.[2] | ” |
She had long, curly, golden hair and blue eyes. She usually looked very dirty, due to being an outlaw (though her name was cleared in all the kingdoms multiple times.)
Personality[]
Goldilocks was described as a very good swordswoman[3]. She was on the run from the law, accompanied by her horse Porridge, a cream female horse. To communicate with her lover, Jack Spriggins, she trained white doves. Jack loved her so much that he ended up going on the run with her.[4]
Jack and Goldilocks told stories about the times they rescued each other; Goldilocks once saved Jack from soldiers after he had stolen bread from a bakery, and Jack saved her from Ogres in return.[5]
She had been afraid of bears ever since the incident with the Three Bears which Red Riding Hood had lured her into, not thinking that they would harm her.[6]
When she and Jack are pardoned for their crimes, rather than rejoice, they looked very unhappy about it. When no one was looking, they stole Queen Red's necklace so they could be "on the run" together again.[7]
When she married Jack, she did so in typical "Goldie" fashion: her dress was stolen from Queen Red, her bouquet was her sword with flowers wrapped around it, and her horse was her maid of honor.[8]
Goldilocks was several months pregnant and her hormones were wreaking havoc on her emotions, but she didn't let the pregnancy stop her from helping Alex and Conner.
Possessions[]
Her sword 🗡
and Porridge (Horse)
Relationships[]
Goldilocks was in love with Jack. They met in secret because Goldilocks was outlawed. She sent him white doves to let him know she was waiting for him. Jack offered to join her in exile. At first she refused, but later agreed to let Jack join her.[9] Jack proposed to Goldilocks while they were in a skirmish with soldiers from the Corner Kingdom and they were married in the Dwarf Forests, with Porridge as maid of honor and Froggy as best man.[10] Later Goldilocks revealed that she was pregnant.[11]
Goldilocks had a cream-colored horse named Porridge, which she was very protective of and that was the fastest horse in all the kingdoms. The two were partners in crime and usually fought their battles together.
She and Queen Red Riding Hood used to be enemies due to a happening in the past. Young Red – in love with with Jack as well – tricked Goldie into thinking she was going on a date with the boy by faking a handwritten letter. When Goldilocks got to their meeting location, Jack never showed up. Ending up falling asleep, she woke to three bears, who almost killed her. She managed to escape but the bears pressed charges against her and she had been running from the law ever since. Hence Red Riding Hood was the reason Goldilocks became a fugitive in the first place. She only found out about it from the Evil Queen years later. [12] Red eventually apologized, which Goldilocks grudgingly accepted, though not before slapping her in the face.[13]They later worked together to help the twins, but still clearly beared each other ill will. They later reconciled: Red attended her wedding and explained to Alex how her new 'nemesis' was Little Bo Peep[14]. Red was not very pleased Goldie stole one of her dresses to get married in, however. Later, Red asked Goldie to give her and the other queens fighting lessons, which Goldilocks admitted to enjoying a lot, because she didn't get to spend much time around other women.[15] Goldilocks later asks her if she would be her son Hero's godmother after her horse Porridge turns her down, and Red happily accepts. Goldilocks also stated that Red was her Best Friend to which Red agreed.
