Goldilocks was Baby Bear's nemesis on Sesame Street from 1991 to 1998. The character is a takeoff on the classic fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".

In her earlier appearances, Goldilocks often irritated Baby Bear by doing everything he did. By the mid-90s, she instead became Baby Bear's friend. Unfortunately for him, she was very eager to help him in any way, even when he didn't need it.

In a 2004 episode, she came back to Sesame Street after visiting her Grandmother Graylocks in Florida. She was slightly redesigned for her later appearances; instead of a straw hat she sported a blue bow in her hair, and her bright yellow curls became gold-colored.
