"When I was young, I wanted to live forever. There wasn't a bridge I didn't want to cross, or a stone I wanted to leave unturned. Then I reached a certain age and everything started disappearing. My friends started to die one at a time until none of them were left.

Biography[]

2. The Enchantress Returns[]

Mother Goose is hired by the Fairy Godmother to watch over Alex and Conner, for a time she was the best company they both had. She told them every day about all the adventures she had throughout the centuries both in the land of stories and in the mundane world, how she met historical figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Leofric de Mercia among others. Alex easily tricked her by alcoholizing her so that she would reveal what was happening in The Land of Stories. At first she tried to resist but she was so drunk that she was unable to. She revealed through rhymes that Ezmia the Enchantress had returned to seek revenge and that it was she who took the twins' mother.

After the twins run away, Mother Goose tells Fairy Godmother about it and later offers to look for them in the other world while she goes to the Land of Stories to attend the Happily Ever After Assembly.

3. A Grimm Warning[]

It is revealed that back in the 1800s, Mother Goose gave the Grande Armée a map to a portal to the Land of Stories that would take them 200 years to travel through. She then neglected to tell anyone about it, and thought it didn't matter anymore after the gateways were all sealed in by the Fairy Godmother after the events in The Enchantress Returns.

Mother Goose hears the Three Witches' prophecy and realizes the 200 years have passed and the Grande Armée is on its way. She contacts Conner and has him check the portal to the Land of Stories on his side. In order to do so, he must access her vault in a casino in Monte Carlo to retrieve a magical panpipe which opens the portal. When he, Emmerich and Bree arrive in the Land of Stories, Mother Goose is forced to take responsibility for her actions. She helps in the battle against the Masked Man, dragon and the Grande Armée.

4. Beyond the Kingdoms[]

When Alex finds Mother Goose in the Giant's Castle in the sky, she joins her on her quest to find the Masked Man. She travels along to the Land of Oz, Neverland, and Wonderland, where she shares a hookah with the Caterpillar to find out where to find the Castle of Hearts. She and Alex end up in the story of King Arthur by mistake, being tricked by the Masked Man into going into the wrong story. She meets Merlin there and fell in love with him so she decides to stay in his story.

5. An Author's Odyssey[]

Mother Goose is living with Merlin and Arthur. Arthur is very distracted during his training thinking about Alex, so Mother Goose talks to him and tries to get him to move on. However her lecture is misinterpreted by Arthur and she accidentally promises to take him to Alex if he still likes her after he has fulfilled his 'destiny'.

6. Worlds Collide[]

Arthur wakes her and Merlin one night and tries to get them to believe that he spoke to Alex through their dreams and that she's in danger. They don't believe him at first but eventually agree to go and check if things are all right. When they find out that many are in danger they set off to help. Mother Goose does the honors when Red and Froggy get married.

Physical Appearance[]

Lucy is a short older woman with fair skin, curly gray hair, and blue eyes. She wears a long red and sky blue dress, with a long sky blue cape to match, she wears aviasion glasses and wears a pointed witch hat.

Personality[]

Mother Goose was an elderly woman who liked to have a good time. She liked to gamble, have drinks (mostly spirits or bubbly), and travel with her pet goose, Lester.

She started to rhyme when she drank too much. She also liked using people's nicknames that she gave them instead of their actual names.

She casually dropped hints about all of her previous adventures. She claimed to have started the Renaissance. She also said she used to wrestle small dragons in the Dragon Age and had a burn scar on her forearm from it.[1] She mentioned she had traveled with a traveling circus before,[2] was once buried alive[3], had a tattoo[4], spent a weekend on the Mayflower[5], and may (or may not) have started the Great Fire of London.[6] She said that she had dated Leonardo Da Vinci, and Mona Lisa was one of her nicknames.

Powers And Abilities[]

As an experienced fairy, Mother Goose could use fairy magic, while being a half-witch on her father's side also gave her some access to practicing witches' magic known as witchcraft.

Her constant practice in both types of magic increased her lifespan greatly since although she looks like an old woman, she has been alive for more 2 centuries.

Relationships[]

Lester[]

'Mother' of Lester, a pet gander. Mother Goose won him as a golden egg from some ogres in the Dwarf Forests. She said she used him to travel in the Otherworld to avoid detection, because when people saw him they just assumed he was a normal bird in the sky.

Brystal Evergreen[]

Mother Goose was the Fairy Godmother's first apprentice, but didn't want to become the next Fairy Godmother because it was too much responsibility.[7] After the Fairy Godmother died, Mother Goose retreats to the Giant's castle in the sky, claiming she felt weary and tired, but she returned to help Alex find the Masked Man.

Merlin[]

When she and Alex were transported into a storybook about King Arthur, she met Merlin and got along with him so well she decided to stay in his story.[8]

Brothers Grimm[]

In order for the portal to be opened by the Grimm Brothers, Mother Goose formed a blood bond with Wilhelm Grimm, so he would have 'magic in his blood'.[9]

King Ludwig II of Bavaria[]

It was revealed she knew King Ludwig II of Bavaria personally and convinced him to build a castle on top of the portal to the Land of Stories.

Friends at the Red Lion Brewery[]

She used to be friends with people at the Red Lion Brewery in London in the mid-1800s. She put an invincibility spell on the South Bank Lion and enchanted him to be able to talk (and listen), because she kept crashing into it and needed someone to talk to after her friends from the brewery died.[10]

Others[]

She claimed to have known the Wright brothers, Leonardo da Vinci, the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, the Queen of England, Walt Disney and George Clooney, though some of her stories can be taken with a grain of salt.[11] She refers to Amelia Earhart (famous aviation pioneer and women's rights activist) as her friend,[12] and claimed to have 'been there' during the Lewis and Clark Expedition of North America.[13]

She officiated the marriage between Jack and Goldilocks in the Dwarf Forests and did the same for Queen Red Riding Hood and Froggy in New York City.
