Description[]
The Golden Goose is a massive golden goose who wears a blue bonnet on her head. She is the opposite of her twin brother, the Gander, and is the herald of The Times of Plenty.
Background[]
The Golden Goose mentions meeting a version of Jack in a giant’s castle, and helped him become rich. She mentions that Jack murdered the giant in this timeline.
It is implied that the Golden Goose appears in timelines not spoiled by the Times of Shadow, and the Gander goes to or causes it.
History[]
Once Upon A Time[]
The Golden Goose answers a lot of pressing questions from Mother Timothy Goose about the Neverafter, his family in the new story, and how the book works. She later forms a tear and drop it onto the book, granting it the ability to give Mother Goose extra spells known based on the stories he has collected.
In the Land of Giants[]
It turns out that the Golden Goose is being held captive by Jack, the Giant-Killer and the rest of the tiny people in the Land of Giants. After Destiny's Children save her, she is then able to aid them in the rest of the battle, and take them to the safety of the clouds.
The Last Wish[]
While resting from the previous battle, the Golden Goose acts as a very motherly figure to the group, giving out healing and advice to the party as they need it. It really comes to a head, though, when the group decides to proceed to Baba Yaga. In the process of travelling there, they end up in the space between worlds and encounter the Goose's brother, the Gander. When they meet, the Goose chooses to make Timothy Goose's final wish, knowing that once that wish is made, Mother Goose will die. With tears in her eyes, the Goose reveals all the different versions of Mother Goose's story to Timothy, showing that, in some stories "Mother Goose" is the witch riding the goose, but sometimes is the goose itself. This means that the two are connected as though they are the same. So in a combined voice of herself and Tim, the Goose wishes to have her book back, the intial storybook from the Gander that had been stolen by Rapunzel. The wish made, the Goose is consumed by flame. A spray of golden blood sprays and sizzles on the ground, and she is then eaten by the Gander. As she is being eaten, her last words to Timothy are, "Run, dear boy." With the book in hand, Timothy takes the Goose's feather than she had given to Ylfa, and writes in the book an idealized version of the events of the previous night, and puts her into the storybook of 'happily ever afters." As he writes, though, the only two words that stick are Goose and Gander, Goose becoming illuminated script as her feather is drawn into it. Tim is then able to see a picture of his son, Jack, King Cole, the Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Miss Muffet flying on the back of a golden goose. However, their expressions are no longer happy, but of concern and preparedness of battle.
The Trials of Baba Yaga[]
Once the Stepmother's true name is put in Tim's book, the previous illustration of the others within is accompanied by pictures of the Destiny's Children going into battle against the Stepmother outside the village of Hapley.
The Ending of All Things (Part 2)[]
The Gander arrives just a Timothy is releasing his spell in the Canonade to give the story characters their autonomy from the Authors. As he begins to angrily threaten Timothy, a quill pierces his heart; a quill thrown by the Golden Goose. She then asks him, "Brother, if you were able to choose what you wished to be, what would you choose?" At that point, for the first time, the Gander realizes that things don't have to be as dark and corrupting as they had been.
