Goose is a Canadian goose who is one of Franklin's friends. Goose is 7 years old.

She is voiced by Olivia Garatt for the first five seasons of the original series, then Vivien Endicott-Douglas in Back to School with Franklin and the sixth season of the series, and Mackenzie Fahie in Franklin and Friends.

Plot[]

Goose is the best diver among Franklin's friends. Goose is a little bit shy and would rather read than play outdoor games; however, Goose still has lots of time to play with Franklin and his friends.

Franklin learns a bit more about Goose and her family when he attends her family's migration party. She is scared of cellars just like Franklin. Goose tends to like jewelry and has been seen wearing or holding diamonds or gold in several episodes. Goose has a little brother named Gus who wears glasses, a character that has only appeared once in the series to date. She also has 2 baby brothers and 2 baby sisters. She is one of the few residents in Woodland to have parents that are not siblings and have different families, like Franklin, Bear, Beaver and Rabbit.

When playing soccer, Goose has trouble forgetting to not use her wings. As such, she is placed in the goalie position, such that using her wings is not a problem. When Miss Koala encourages her to try something new, she decides to give playing outside of goal another try and finds that she enjoys it.

Unlike Franklin and like the others, she has only a grandmother on her father's side, and a grandfather on her mother's side. Her family (consisting of her mother and father, paternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal aunt, maternal uncle, and maternal cousin) was shown in Franklin Migrates.

Personality[]

Goose is easy to be friends with because of her kind, caring, resourceful and helpful personality, as a good friend to Franklin; she is always happy to do what Franklin and his friends want to do. She is also smart, and likes her plans to be unchanged. On occasion, Goose gets funny when she is not trying to be funny, but her friends try not to laugh at her, and would never want to hurt her feelings. When she's feeling insecure however, she tends to be rather forgetful, clumsy, and unfocused.

Looks[]

Goose has brown and white feathers. Her neck, face, bill and webbed feet are black, and she has a big white stripe on the bottom of her face.
