Canon
After Goldi ran away from her orphanage and took her favourite library book of on the wishing star with her, little Goldilocks came across an empty cottage in the woods. Like in the original fairy take, Goldi tested out the beds until she fell asleep in the one that was just right, before the three bears came home to find a little human girl sleeping in their home. Instead of waking her up and chasing the girl away, Mama Bear convinces her husband and son to take the orphan girl in. Much to the youngest bear's dismay, from how she was in his bed and ate his food. To the parent bears things were just right as they raised Goldi as their own, even though Baby Bear refuses to call her his sister. Goldilocks on the other hand, never forgot her birth family and wanted them back. Making her blind to the found family who care about her. As much as Mama Bear loved her human daughter, apart of her knew that Goldi would want to leave them one day. Making her want to keep the her family together as best she can.

Years later Goldilocks and the bears became a criminal gang, while Mama views them as a criminal family. With Goldi acting as the leader of their small group, while the bears became her henchmen and muscle. Once Goldilocks learns about a map the wishing star, she gets the bears to help her reach the said star, while keeping the wish she wishes to make a secret from them. To ensure that they won't back out, Goldilocks fills their heads with what the star's powers could grant them. Knowing that the four of them alone can't steal the map from "Big" Jack Horner, they try to recruit one of the two best cat thieves, but when either of them would help them they were left with option but to steal it from him themselves. Baby states that he could get the map, but Goldilocks doesn't have faith in any of Baby Bear's ideas and him failing to be cat-like only proved her point. Goldilocks also didn't like the way that the bears got distracted with them wanting to order some of Jack's famous pies, while both Puss and Kitty were had their paws on the map they came form.

One of the things Goldi does like about Baby is his strong sense of smell, as they use his nose to track Puss's party all the way to the Dark Forest. After they managed to steal the map from Puss, Kitty and their little dog friend, during their battle with Jack and his Bakers, they make their way to the star. The senses the family bond Goldi has with the bears after she, Papa and Baby sang their pie song, it decided to show Goldilocks that she already has a family. By recreating the cavern she met them as a child. The bears were happy to see their home again while Goldi believed that it was a trick that they were being pulled into. Until she found the book she stole as a child and then sees a magical vision of the past. Mama Bear tells Goldilocks what that day meant to them, as Goldi stole their hearts and made their lives just right. Goldi was touched by this, but Puss stealing the map from the kept her from seeing what it was trying teach her.

Even though they lost the map, the four were able to get their hands on Perrito. That the four plan to use in their trap for Puss and Kitty. Goldi and Baby got into a fight as they were helping their parents to things up. Perrito saw their fight as siblings bonding and got him to join in, before telling Goldilocks that she had won the orphan lottery with the bears. This got Goldi to start questioning her wish, until Kitty saved the dog and Baby got the four of them caught in their own trap. They restart their search for the star after they got out of it, but Baby losing the sent got them lost in the woods.

Angry of what Goldilocks dragged them into, Baby Bear demanded to know what her just right from the wish truly is. This got Goldi to confess that she wanted a human family, from how she isn't a bear like they were. The three bears were sad that Goldilocks had wanted to abandon them after she makes her wish. Mama Bear had always known that this day would come, but Goldi was still one of them and if getting her human parents back would make her happy, the bears will do what they can to make that happen. As the four fight Puss, Kitty and Jack for the map, as well as the star's single wish. When it looked like that Goldi was the one who gets the wish, Baby Bear's was placed in life threatening danger and both of his parents were struggling to save their son's life. Until Goldi stepped in just in time to save him with her staff, as well as her telling him what she had told him earlier that day. With how he is the smash while she is the grab.

Baby was thankful for being saved but he also felt guilty that Goldi had ended up giving up her wish for him. With the wishing star and it's map gone for good. Mama Bear also felt bad that they failed to help Goldi get her long waited wish, but Goldi reassures her that she has got what she wished for. Before hugging her bear mother, along with Baby and Papa joining their group family hug. With Goldilocks fully excepting her bear family she subjects that they go to hibernate like Papa Bear had wanted. She also agrees with Baby's idea of them taking over Jack's pastry business, with its owner gone and Mama Bear was happy with the idea of them owning a family business together. She didn't mind what kind of work they get in, as long as they remain a family.

Fanon
Fans of The Last Wish version of Goldilocks are also drawn to the family bonds she has formed with the three crime bears family. From seeing how close she is to Mama Bear and the energy of her sibling relationship Baby Bear. While Papa Bear is there for her.
