Fears:
~Her Father Seeing The Real Her:
Butter wouldn't melt in Marigold's mouth when she's around her father, he knows nothing of her wild side and much like everyone else in the village [excluding her friends & the bears], thinks she's the sweetest girl there is.
~The Three Bears Telling On Her:
Up until this point, nobody has believed the rumours the bears have been spreading but they still worry Marigold nevertheless, she needs to find a way to silence them once and for all, before her father finds out.
~Bees & Wasps:
It's not that Marigold is allergic to them, it's just that's she completely terrified of being stung ever since she was as a child.
Hobbies:
~Stealing items: Marigold finds it quite exciting and gives her the adrenaline rush she loves.
~Cooking: It's so weird to think that Marigold is actually an exceptional chef, she loves to cook and ironically, makes the best porridge in town.
~Painting & Drawing: While Marigold is hardly a novice painter, she still enjoys letting her imagination run wild with every paint stroke.
Powers:
"Well, unless you call being an exceptional thief a power, I guess I'm just your not-so average human."
Strengths:
~Cooking: As mentioned before, Marigold is a great chef and loves to bake, which really is rather ill-fitting with her personality being what it is, but nevertheless, she loves it.
~Agility: As a thief, you need to move fast and silently, over the years Marigold as perfected her technique to the point she likes to refer to herself as 'The Nicking Ninja'
~Tricking people: Marigold could get almost anyone to do anything for her, Marigold's powers of persuasion have had to be increased as the scale of things she stole increased, so as to not let slip her true character.
~Flirting: While it's hardly an exceptional strength, Marigold's flirting abilities has most definitely come in handy and she often puts them to good use, not that she expects anything serious to come of it.
Flaws:
~Apologising: Marigold has never been the first person to apologise, ever, she either waits until the person she argued with apologises or never speaks to them again, it's stupid and childish but hey, that's Goldi.
~Compulsive liar: It started when Marigold was a little girl and has gradually increased until she just does it daily because a) she's exceptional at it and likes showing off her skills and, b) because if she didn't, everyone would find out who she really was.
~Drawing: Marigold has never been the most talented artist, especially when it comes to just simply drawing, collage she can handle, maybe even abstract painting (very abstract) but she can't just simply draw to save her life. The best work she's ever done was a stick person.
~Dancing: Honestly, the best dancing Marigold can do is jumping (like the gif), she isn't graceful enough to do ballet, gets bored with ballroom dancing and let's just say, break dancing doesn't end well either.
Personality:
The sweet side to dear little Goldilocks must have ended with the story because she's nowhere to be found; in her place is left a sarcastic, carefree, curious kleptomaniac. Marigold is very snarky and has major authority issues (apart from with her father, although, she basically controls him) and despises being told what to do; if you ever try, let's just say she'll tell you where to go.
She's painfully honest and hates to sugar coat anything, believing that if you ask her something then it's your own fault if you don't like the answer. A lot of the time to a lot of people, that bluntness can be very off putting but honestly, Marigold couldn't careless - If they don't like her attitude then that's fine by her, she won't change for anyone.
If she wants to be, Marigold can be very seductive, she likes getting her own way and will do anything for it, even if it means throwing in a little flirting. This means that Marigold also loves to flirt with her friends (yes, even the females) however she doesn't expect anything to come of it, she's only playing but even if they don't, it's pretty clear that Marigold isn't and will, seemingly, never be ready for a serious relationship.
Most who know her well enough, wouldn't trust Marigold with anything of theirs that is very important to them, she's so careless that she'd probably lose her own head if it wasn't attached to her. This linking back to the not liking being told what to do, Marigold is very adventurous and goes wherever she wants, whenever she wants, enjoying visiting places she's never been to before because it makes her so curious about it, she just wants to go everywhere and see everything she can.
Marigold steals things not for any good reason, but just simply because she loves the adrenaline rush she gets from it, if you invite Marigold into your home (unless you're a close friend of hers), if you don't keep your eyes on her all the time she's there, nine times out of ten you'll find Marigolds pockets just got heavier and your twenty pound note which you know had been in your back pocket this whole time, disappear. One way to know Marigold values your opinion and has decided to become your friend is when she stops stealing from you.
However, her 'daddy' doesn't see her quite like this, to Sheriff Daniel Lokes, his little princess seems like peaches and cream, like little Marigold couldn't hurt a fly and that's how she'd like it to stay. While Marigold may have some good friends, her father is the only person she looks up to and really, truly loves, she would hate herself most definitely if he were to find out who she really was. Much like the rest of the village (aside from the three bears and her friends), everyone seems to have the same opinion of Goldi as her father, giving her such a loving nickname because she really is the towns favourite sweetheart, or at least, that's who they seem to think she is.
History:
The stealing started when Marigold was seven, she had been to her very close friends house and while they were playing with their dolls, Marigold that her friends had a brand new singing doll she had gotten for her birthday, Marigold was so jealous that she snatched the doll up once her friend left to get some juice and stuffed it up her jumper, once her friend came back, Marigold made a quick excuse, thanked them for having her (like the 'good little girl' she was) and ran home, which really wasn't very far.
