Heroines of Legend: Fictional Universes - 31: Goldie Vance



Strengths: High spirited, lighthearted, enthusiastic, eager, ambitious, flexible, fast in physicality and mind, nimble, smart, witty, funny, deductive, tenacious, intrepid, charming, helpful, adaptable, fun sense of style, a highly effectual and competent natural born detective.


Weaknesses: Melancholy moments of self-doubt, making mistakes hits her hard, sometimes too quick for her own good, jumps to conclusions, impulsive, not adverse to manipulating others when solving cases, makes morally and even legally-questionable actions when solving cases, can take rebellion and rule-breaking too far.


Powers/Abilities: Sleuthing skills. Espionage and acting. Bike riding. Driving and racing any vehicle. Expert on cars.



Will: Moderate to strong.


Home/Place of Origin: Crossed Palms Resort hotel, Florida, USA.


Occupation: Crossed Palms Resort valet, self-appointed amateur detective alongside professional in-house detective, Walter Tooey.



Social Standing: Extrovert.


Ethnicity: Half-African-American (father's side), half-Caucasian (mother's side).


Sexuality: Homosexual.


Other Trivia: Graphic novels' newest teen girl detective from 1960s Florida. Her parents are divorced. Her father is the manager of Crossed Palms Resort where he and Goldie live, and her mother is a live club mermaid. Her friends include: the receptionist Cheryl who dreams of being an astronaut; Sugar Maple, her ex-childhood friend and rival (in racing as well as other things); Diane the record shop retailer and actress, and Goldie's crush and future girlfriend; and Walter the resort detective and head of security. The young sleuth's adventures of her own choosing, on which local mystery to solve, are as colourful and cartoony as she is. She is a biracial queer girl in a comic book series aimed at all ages. Her catchphrase is "Oh, flash!". She also really loves cars. Marigold "Goldie" Vance is altogether fabulous, if morally-grey, which just makes her more interesting and complex. A film based on the comic is in production.
