'''Ly the [[Fairy]]''' is a character in the ''Rayman'' series that makes her debut in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes, followed by shorter appearances in the Gameboy Advance versions of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc (GBA)|Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'' and ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. Along with her fellow fairies, she is an emissary of [[Polokus]], and it is her job to provide information about him and the [[Four Masks of Polokus|Four Masks]] as well as using her magical powers to create [[Silver Lum]]s.

==Video game appearances==

===''Rayman 2''===
Ly's story begins in Rayman's mind, when she tells him that the [[Robo-Pirates]] have broken the [[Heart of the World]] into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s and that it has weakened her, before he gets captured. She is then consulted by [[Globox]], who she gives a Silver Lum to give to Rayman before they are both captured. While Globox is taken to the Buccaneer, Ly is held prisoner in an electrified forcefield in one of the pirate strongholds, deep in the [[Fairy Glade]]. The Silver Lum she created gives Rayman the ability to shoot balls of energy, and it is put to good use as he eventually finds her and destroys the machine that controlled the forcefield, freeing her. By then, she only has enough energy to create one Silver Lum, which upgrades Rayman's shooting ability to be used with Purple [[Lums]]. Before leaving to gather more energy, she passes her knowledge about Polokus and his four masks to him.

Later on, Ly makes more Silver Lums that make Rayman even more powerful, and by the time he reaches [[Razorbeard]] in the [[Crow's Nest]], she uses one to save him from falling into the vast body of lava, and using telepathy, encourages him to fight until the robot Admiral is defeated. When the battle is over, at first she was made to believe that Rayman did not survive the explosion high in the sky, until he turns up alive.

Additionally, Ly offers Rayman to join her in a race through the [[Walk of Life]] and [[the Walk of Power]], in which extra Yellow Lums are found, and offer him to have his health and power maximised. Despite it being a race, Ly does not have to be beaten.

===''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===
[[Image:Ly the Fairy.jpg|thumb|Ly as she appears in Rayman Revolution]]
In ''Rayman Revolution'', it is revealed that Ly resides in a house built in a giant tree somewhere in the [[East Plain]], and it is there that she offers Rayman to play some mini games that top up his health and power, provided that he frees and brings to her enough [[Familiar Spirit]]s for each game. She also meditates from a stone in the area of [[Globox's House]], and a stele in [[Rainbow Creek]]. She is also a playable character in the unlockable mini game [[Missile Dogfight]].

===''Rayman 3 GBA''===
She plays the same role as Betilla in ''Rayman 1''. Oddly enough, Ly's sprite in this game shows that her tail is now a large ponytail, though in a cut-scene she still has her tail.

===''Rayman Raving Rabbids GBA''===
Ly makes some brief appearances in the Gameboy Advance version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, where she gives Rayman a costume medallion everytime he defeats a boss. While the game uses the same sprites as Rayman 3 for the GBA, she has a new appearance in the cut-scenes, where the front of her hair is curlier than before, she has pale blue lipstick, and her suit reveals her shoulders.

==Character Description==
[[Image:LyRRRgba.png|thumb|Ly as she appears in ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' for the GBA]]
Ly shares some typical fairy attributes, such as her long elven ears, her magical powers, and the ability to float in mid-air. Like [[Betilla the Fairy]], but unlike other fairies, she does not have wings. She has short purple hair and a long, bushy tail of the same colour, while having green eyes and lips. Contrary to popular belief, she is not naked, but wears a yellow suit with plum stripes and swirls all over. Because of her tail, it is speculated that she may have some animal - most likely feline - characteristics. Early concept artwork for ''Rayman 2'' that depicted her shows that she may have been originally an anthropomorphic cat, as she appeared to have cat ears and a non-human nose. In the Walks of Life and Power, she sometimes runs on all fours.

Akin to Betilla the Fairy, she is a calm and very meditative character, even in her captivity at the Fairy Glade, and spends most of her time meditating deep in the forest. Rayman says that the [[Woods of Light]] is one of her favourite places to be. When she is not meditating, she is a fun-loving and friendly character that shows great athletic and gymnastic skills, perhaps more so than Rayman's, as she can jump much higher than he can. She also puts a lot of faith and trust in the heroes of the world, and is willing to help Rayman defeat Razorbeard and the Robo-Pirate Army.

It is unknown if she is at all related to [[Tily the Fairy]], a much younger fairy that shares some of her features.

==Trivia==
*Ly was originally going to appear in ''[[Rayman M]]'', as several promotional pictures and even the back cover of the game showed, but was in the end replaced by [[Tily the Fairy]].
* There was a concept artwork for ''Rayman 3'' which may have depicted Ly with a totally different appearance. She had no tail, but instead had huge dragonfly-like wings, her hair and lips were now phthalo blue instead of purple, and she wore a new outfit of the same colour, as well as a pair of elbow length gloves, while also having blue dots over her face and arms. This design was dropped from the final game, though it can be found as a printable in the [[Rayman 3 Print Studio]].
* Ly likes to juggle - several ''Rayman 2'' images depicted her to have juggled with at least 3 red balls, and even Rayman's body parts.
* Ly's voice in ''Rayman 2/ DS'' is an echoing, girly voice. In Revolution, although Ly spoke English, you still hear the echoing voice in the background.
* She takes part of a music band in the credits of ''Rayman Revolution'', where she plays the banjo.
* Ly was going to appear in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids]], where she would be Rayman's girlfriend. Rayman would have to save her, André and André's unknown girlfriend. However, when the game was turned into a simple party game, Ly has been but from the game.

===Cameos===
*'''''[[Rayman M]]'':''' In [[Ly's Palace]], an ice sculpture of Ly is found the centre of the room.
*'''''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc]]'':''' In a stage in the [[The Longest Shortcut|Longest Shortcut]], another statue of Ly is hidden behind a painting.

Rayman Rush

{{Game
| name = Rayman Rush
| image = [[Image:RRush PS1EUcov.jpg|center|200px]]
| published by = Ubisoft
| developed by = Ubisoft
| release date = 2002
| genre = Racing
| gameplay mode = 2 Players
| platforms = Sony Playstation
}}

'''''Rayman Rush''''' was a port of ''[[Rayman M]]'' made only for the Sony Playstation in 2002. While it was the same game as ''Rayman M'' both in terms of plot and concept, only the racing half of the game was ported, and there are a lot of differences, probably due to the Playstation's limited specifications, resulting in a poor conversion.

==Other Differences==
* The [[Teensie]]s are replaced by a pink female [[Globox]] called [[Globette]] who is unlockable, uses [[Tily]]'s sound clips sped down, and has a brand new theme. Because of this you only start with just four characters in this version.
* The menu music is lower in pitch.
* Each character is now equipped with freeze bullets like in the ''Rayman M'' battle games, which freezes a character for five seconds when shot.
* Some of ''Rayman M'''s bonus levels now use textures and are made into proper levels.
* The [[Water Canyon]] level has a new map.
* The game has a slightly different ending, which is shown after beating just the Championship.
* Only 2 players can play together this time.
* While it also has the same intro as ''Rayman M'', the part which introduces the Teensies was removed.
* The [[Popolopoï]] mode is renamed to "Target Mode", and a time attack mode was added.
* The [[Lum]]s Mode is now all about collecting as many yellow Lums as possible while running against another character.
* Tily's voice is apparently a mix of her voice clips and [[Ly]]'s, which are sped up.

== Voice Cast ==
*David Gasman as [[Rayman]]
*Wayne Grayson as [[Globox]]
*Jodi Forrest as [[Tily]], [[Razorwife]], [[Globette]]
*Martial Le Minoux as [[Henchman 800]]
*Joseph Sheridan as [[Henchman 1000]]
*Ken Starcevic as [[Razorbeard]]
