While she retains her long red hair (which has become even longer and darker) and ability to float, she now has small, very translucent wings, and pale skin with freckles on her cheeks. She wears a bikini top, a short skirt and a tall pointy hat of dark and light green colours, and what appears to be dark green kneesocks that are worn up to her now-existent thighs. She also wears a necklace and several gold bangles on both forearms. | ||

Though slightly different from her appearance in the final game, it has also been used in the manual as well as in promotional material, even after the release of the game, such as an image celebrating [[Rayman]]'s twentieth anniversary in 2015. | ||

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.

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]].

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.
