| ~ Goldilocks to Mama Bear, Fables #7 — "The Guns of Fabletown: Part Two of Animal Farm" |
Goldilocks is among the human Fables who lives at the Farm, where she is staying out of solidarity with the animal Fables that are obliged to reside there. She first appears in Fables #7 — "The Guns of Fabletown: Part Two of Animal Farm." Along with the Three Little Pigs, she leads a failed revolution attempt to seize power at the Farm and Fabletown.
History
Goldilocks exhibits a high degree of ambition and cunning, forming alliances with the Three Little Pigs and the Three Bears to orchestrate a revolution at the Farm in an effort to overthrow the human residents of Fabletown. She aims to exert control over the 'strong arm' of the revolution, secretly plotting to ascend as the ruler of the mundane world once once the war against Fabletown had been won. When it is clear the revolution is lost, Goldilocks slips away and makes an attempt on Snow White's life, which fails.
She escapes capture when the Farm revolution failed by forming an alliance with Bluebeard, which she is supposed to repay by killing Bigby Wolf and Snow. She fails to kill either of them and instead finds herself face down in a river, presumed dead.
However, it is later discovered that she survived her ordeal, and was captured by Mister Revise and imprisoned at the Golden Boughs Retirement Village.
Following her escape from the Golden Boughs, she embarks on a violent rampage, determined to eliminate all the beautiful women in Fabletown. Ultimately, she is defeated by Cinderella, who slays her using the Sword of Regret.
Powers and abilities
Powers
- Immortality: As a Fable, Goldilocks is functionally immortal,[3] having retained the youthful appearance and vigor of someone in their twenties for centuries.
- Superhuman durability: Due to being one of the most well known Fables whose story is practically common knowledge among the mundys, Goldilocks has shown immense superhuman durability and recovery as seen when she has successfully survived and recovered from being violently axed in the head and beaten with a crowbar by Snow White, hurled down a cliff, hit by a moving lumber truck, thrown into a rushing river as a mangled body, survived being constantly drowned until she reached the Atlantic Ocean and being eaten alive by fish.[3]
Abilities
- Tracking: Goldilocks has shown to be a skilled hunter, having been able to successfully track down Bigby Wolf without much difficulty.
- Marksmanship: Goldilocks has also been shown to be an accomplished sniper, with the hunting rifle being her favorite weapon.
- Swordsmanship: Goldilocks has also displayed a level of skill in using a sword, as seen when she used Maerorgladi in her killings, but due to the swords immensely magical nature and her own inability to even scratch Cinderella, it's likely that Goldilocks herself does not have much actual skill in using swords herself.

Original source
Goldilocks is based on the character from the fairy tale of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." In this classic tale, a young and innocent, blonde girl named Goldilocks wanders into the forest and stumbles upon the home of a family of three bears: Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Baby Bear. Finding no one home, she helps herself to their porridge, sits on their chairs and breaks one, before settling into one of their beds for a nap. When the bears return and find her asleep, she quickly leaps out the window and is never seen again.
Trivia
According to Reynard the Fox, the Adversary wants Goldilocks dead at least as much as her enemies in Fabletown do.[5]
