Can you tell me anything about this cross? Any unique characteristics or is it just random based on the genetic mix? Are they friendly, noisy (comparatively speaking for a goose) outgoing?

Thanks everyone for the feedback and support. I'm glad I finally know what breed she is. Tonight I found a destroyed soft shell egg near where she hangs out and it seems bigger than my pekin eggs but it was fairly trashed. It's either moonscape or my adolescent khaki (cocoa puff) beginning to...
Alright! We are back from the vet with some news. The vet is not sure about the sex so we are going with a girl because we can :D.
