'''Betilla''' the fairy is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]].

She had witnessed the theft of the [[Magic Book of Knowledge]] by [[Mr Dark]] one day as she was visiting [[the Magician]]'s cottage. To allow the young player to practice, she has her own area on the world map called [[Betilla's Garden]], which is a series of simplified maps that cover most of [[Rayman]]'s abilities. Betilla also appears in other educational [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' games]] for even younger children. | ||

She ‘weaves the moonbeams of the second summer solstice’ to create [[Rayman]], whom she hopes will protect the balance of the universe; however, the young [[Rayman]] is rebellious, immature and unruly. Like the [[Livingstone]]s, Betilla is portrayed with limbs; a revision of her limbless appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original game]]. It may be implied that she is also the trailer's narrator, and she seems to be recounting the game's events from a distant point in the future (presumably after the events of the first three [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' platformers]]). | ||
A final, slightly modified version of [[Rayman]]'s origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual. | A final, slightly modified version of [[Rayman]]'s origin story was eventually offered on the official ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' website in November 2011, and can also be found in the game's manual. | ||

A notable difference from the scene shown in the announcement trailer for the game is that Betilla is no longer the only [[fairy]] creating [[Rayman]]. It is not specified whether this story is intended to replace or complement the one from the ''[[Rayman 2]]'' manual. It conflicts with the events of the [[Rayman 1|original ''Rayman'' game]], where Betilla introduces herself to [[Rayman]] as if she was meeting him for the first time, as well as with those of ''[[Rayman 2]]'', where [[Rayman]] and [[Jano]] do not appear to have met before. It does not explain the existence of [[Tarayzan]] either. | A notable difference from the scene shown in the announcement trailer for the game is that Betilla is no longer the only [[fairy]] creating [[Rayman]].

In [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], the first level in the [[Jibberish Jungle]], Betilla is the first of the [[nymph]]s to be encountered, trapped inside the jaws of a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]]. When [[Rayman]], [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s rescue her, she gives them the power to attack. She also appears in some levels of the game congratulating for collecting enough [[Electoon]]s. She is lastly seen meditating with her sisters to open the door to [[Moody Clouds]]. | In [[It's a Jungle Out There...]], the first level in the [[Jibberish Jungle]], Betilla is the first of the [[nymph]]s to be encountered, trapped inside the jaws of a [[Antitoon|Darktoon]].
