'''Razorwife''' (sometimes known as '''Mrs. Razorbeard''') is a [[Robo-Pirate]] that appears in [[Rayman M]] and its PlayStation port, ''[[Rayman Rush]]'', as an unlockable playable character. As her name suggests, she is [[Admiral Razorbeard|Razorbeard]]'s wife.

==Appearance==
Like her husband, Razorwife has a peg leg and is about the same size as him, but she dresses much more flamboyantly by wearing a yellow dress, pink polka-dot bloomers and pink sunglasses, and has her blue "hair" up in a Marge Simpson-like style. She also lacks the metal "beard" Razorbeard has, but instead has what looks like a pair of buckteeth.

==Personality==
She is similar to Razorbeard in personality in that she is bad-tempered and bossy. Though this is a bad point, as she tends to boss her husband around. She also likes opera, which is her theme in Rayman M.

==Trivia==

It is thought by many fans that she bears a striking resemblance to a chicken.

Stone of Thought

86.139.8.230:

A '''Stone of Thought''' is a square stone that is found in some places in ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'', most notably the [[Woods of Light]]. They teach Rayman how to perform his abilities by reading his mind, and when he first comes near one, [[Murfy]] will appear to explain these lessons the Stones bear. In most versions except for the PlayStation version, where it is [[Ly]] who gives Rayman the lessons, the Stones have the face of Murfy carved on them.

'''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.

===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.

Betilla

2009-06-13T17:47:12Z

86.139.8.230: /* Trivia */

{{Character
| name = Betilla
| image = [[Image:Betilla.gif|center|142px|''Bétilla'']]

| appears in = [[Rayman (game)|Rayman]]
| sex = Female
| species = Unknown

'''Betilla the Fairy''' is a major character from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''. She is a limbless fairy, who uses her magic to grant [[Rayman]] with special powers that will help him recover the stolen [[Great Protoon]] from the clutches of [[Mister Dark]].

==Video game appearances==

===''Rayman''===
Before the invasion by Mister Dark, it was Betilla's job to keep the Great Protoon and the [[Electoon]]s safe. Her protective powers were sadly no match for Dark's, and he defeated her while taking the Great Protoon with him. Following then, she would then have to wait for Rayman to find her from time to time, and give him one power at a time permanently to gradually build up his strength. She was later kidnapped herself by Mister Dark and trapped in a crystal ball, at a later point in the game, though the ending assumes that Rayman had rescued her along with the Great Protoon.

===Educational games===
Betilla makes a notable appearance in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', to assist [[the Magician]] in giving Rayman an overview on the tasks he has to complete in a level. She had witnessed the theft of the Great Book of Knowledge by Mister Dark one day as she was visiting the Magician's cottage. To allow the young player to practice, she has her own place on the world map called [[Betilla's Garden]], which is a series of simplified maps that cover most of Rayman's abilities. Betilla is known to have appeared in other educational Rayman games for even younger children.

==Character description==
[[Image:BetillaPoingGrappin.png|frame|Betilla gives Rayman one of his powers.]]

Betilla only shares a few attributes of a typical fairy, such as her ability to float in mid-air, and her ability to give Rayman his powers with her magic. She doesn't have wings, and doesn't appear to have elven ears. She has long red hair, and wears a green and yellow dress, hat and shoes covered with blue stars. Very little is known about her past much like the other characters in the games, but she appears to be a meditative and peaceful character (despite the chaos Mister Dark had caused upon the world), with plenty of wisdom to guide Rayman along the way and teach him to use his powers effectively.

==Trivia==
* ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' was about to feature a female character that bears a striking resemblance to Betilla, though in the final version she was replaced by [[Ly]].
* Another character with some resemblance is [[Betina]] from the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|Animated series]], but only her name and the colours of her clothes and hair support this speculation.
* Although Betilla has not appeared in any ''Rayman'' game after educational versions of ''Rayman'', her name is used as a leaderboard name in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''.
* The ending of ''Rayman Junior'' reveals that she has an interest in knitting, as she was doing so while housesitting the Magician's cottage as he celebrated Rayman's victory.
