She's notably fair with her furry friends (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goldilocks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she's' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'notably fair with her furry friends' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'her' could be 'goldi' and 'goldi' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'locks' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for goldilocks that I've seen before include "Fairy tale porridge thief" , "PANTO" , "Plant" , "fairly shocked girl" , "Trespasser" .)
