She was created and first used by Carl Barks in 1953 in the album Uncle Scrooge #2, in the story Back to the Klondike. This was the only story that Barks that featured her. Carl Barks (March 27, 1901 – August 25, 2000) was a famous Disney Studio illustrator and comic book creator, who invented Duckburg and many of its inhabitants, such as Scrooge McDuck (1947), Gladstone Gander (1948), the Beagle Boys (1951), Gyro Gearloose (1952) and Magica De Spell (1961). ... 1953 (MCMLIII) was a common year starting on Thursday. ...

Her most significant appearances in Rosa's stories were in Last Sled to Dawson, Hearts of the Yukon, King of the Klondike, A Little Something Special and The Prisoner of White Agony Creek. She also appeared in several episodes of Duck Tales including Back to the Klondike (a loose adaptation of her first comic appearance), "Scroogerello", "Til Nephews Do Us Part", and "Ducky Mountain High". Back to the Klondike is the fifty-eighth episode of the Disney animated television series DuckTales. ...


After the gold rush, she temporarily moved into Scrooge McDuck's old cabin in White Agony Valley. She later returned to Dawson and turned the Blackjack Ballroom into a tourist hotel called the Frostbit Arms.

Many fans of Don Rosa's work believed that there was a relationship between Scrooge and Goldie, a thought that has been proved by some of his latest stories, like A Little Something Special, and the most indicative one The Prisoner of White Agony Creek. Don Rosa claims to be following Carl Barks' original story and, while some believe he does not, it's important to notice that in "Back to the Klondike", signs of a romance between the two characters do exist.
