Goose makes her debut in Porkchop 'n Flatscreen: Episode 24! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KDF9nYJ0eU Juliet “Goose” Gusman: Though she looks and behaves in an elegant manner, the reality is that she’s the daughter an infamous French criminal mastermind, Henri Gusman. She is the spitting image of her late Mother, Marie…the Beloved Queen of the Underworld (Juliet’s lazy looking eyes come from Henri, though). Juliet had a spoiled, sheltered upbringing. Her parents treated her like a princess, always reading her fairy tales like Mother Goose and Little Bo Peep. So pampered was her life that she actually started thinking that she LIVED in a fairy tale. Everything is taken care of by her wealthy family empire. She doesn't need to work, suffer, or worry about the difficulties of life. As a result, Juliet's facial expression almost never changes. She rarely shows emotion. She has no need to. One day the Stick Bandit (before he became the Grim Reaper) tried to steal the Gusman family heirloom, a massive diamond ring. Juliet caught him and, out of loneliness, forced him to be her little brother (a.k.a. her servant). Over time, Juliet and the Stick Bandit grew very fond of each other. He taught her about ambition, love, compassion, and the world beyond her complacent life. And, though her facial expression still rarely changes, the people closest to her can tell she's not the same girl she used to be... After Juliet’s mother died defending the family turf, Henri Gusman became concerned for his daughter’s safety. With her newfound ambition and passion, Juliet might want to take over the family gangster business someday, and she’d be good at it like her mother was. Too good. The dangerous underworld is no place for his beautiful little girl, so he encourages the Stick Bandit to lure her away from France. He tells the Stick Bandit to betray Juliet, steal her diamond ring, and run away. Juliet would be sure to pursue him, see the world out there, and maybe forget about this ganster’s lifestyle. So, he steals her diamond and leaves. For the first time, Juliet actually shows emotion: ANGER and HEARTBREAK! Juliet has been tracking down the Stick Bandit ever since! Now Juliet "Goose" Gusman has pinpointed his location to the Maximum Institute of Texas. She immediately infiltrates the student body to try to catch him!
