Ikke, don't piss me off. However your idea is the closest so far. Before he became evil, Mister Dark and Betilla fell in love prior to Rayman 1. Using that chance, Mister Dark overthrew Betilla and stole the Protoon. Betilla tried to stop him from taking it, but he was too powerful (que Rayman 1 intro). Ly is Betilla's and Mister Dark's daughter (her colours are sort of a cross between the two if you think about it), and Betilla didn't want her to know that. This is what she tells Ly at the end of the game when she passes away, and Ly takes head of the Fairy Council.
@Spiraldoor:
I'm making sure not to interfere with the canon, only add to it. That's for both continuity and when I'm nearing completion I'll present it to Michel/Ubisoft, both as a portfolio presentation for a future job and to see if it has a chance at being published. If it's declined, I'll set it up as a free download. If it's accepted then I'll hope they'd be willing to improve the quality of some aspects using resources only companies and developers have access to. I do see a chance at it being accepted, because if I'm able to achieve the quality production I picture in my head (which I know how to achieve, it'll just be time consuming), then, from a money standpoint, they could use it as a tool to make money without having ever paid any developers. Of course it'll have to pass by Michel's view first, so I hope he sees it as worthy.
