~~==Appearance==~~

'''Betilla''' the fairy is a major character in the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]]. In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]], she is a powerful [[fairy]] who uses her magic to grant [[Rayman]] special powers that help him to recover the stolen [[Great Protoon]] from the clutches of the evil [[Mr Dark]]. It is later revealed in the manual of ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' that Betilla and her [[nymph]] sisters created [[Rayman]] to be the protector of the [[Glade of Dreams]].

Betilla is ~~mostly humanoid but with no limbs, like every other~~ character in Rayman 1~~. She has long red hair~~, ~~wears very pale lipstick, and~~ she ~~wears~~ a ~~green~~ and ~~yellow hat and dress covered in stars~~.

==~~Character~~==

==Description==

It is Betilla's ~~job~~ to protect the Great Protoon ~~from anything happening to~~ it. ~~Unfortunately she was defeated by~~ Mr Dark ~~when~~ he ~~steals it~~, and ~~was later kidnapped~~ by him. ~~Before then~~, ~~at certain points~~ in the game, she ~~would give~~ Rayman his ~~powers one~~ by one, and ~~instruct him on how~~ to ~~use~~ them. She does not ~~really speak~~, but ~~rather~~ make a ~~mystical~~ '~~doo~~-~~doo~~' ~~voice~~.

===Appearance===

In [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], Betilla has long red hair and wears a green and yellow dress and a hat and shoes covered with blue stars. At the tip of her hat float three pink orbs. She is always seen floating in mid-air, but does not possess wings.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', Betilla gets a complete design change. 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.

An early design for Betilla can be seen in the E3 2010 trailer, where she has bigger eyes and wears earrings. 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.

===History===

Being a [[fairy]], Betilla is one of the earliest creations of [[Polokus]], making her one of the most ancient creatures in the [[Glade of Dreams]].

===Personality===

Betilla appears to be a meditative and peaceful character in both games, with great wisdom and the helpfulness to guide [[Rayman]] throughout his quest and teach him to use his powers effectively.

==In ''Rayman'' and its spin-offs==

Betilla first appears in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']], where it appears that her role prior to [[Mr Dark]]'s arrival was to protect the [[Great Protoon]] – the mystical orb which keeps the world in balance – and the [[Electoon]]s, little creatures which gravitate around it. Her powers were no match for those of the evil [[Mr Dark]], who defeats her at the beginning of the game, stealing the [[Great Protoon]] and kidnapping the [[Electoon]]s. Throughout the game, Betilla meets with [[Rayman]] five times, each time granting him a new permanent power, gradually building up his strength and abilities. During [[Rayman]]'s battle with [[Space Mama]] in [[Space Mama's Crater|her Crater]], [[Mr Dark]] kidnaps Betilla and traps her in a tiny crystal ball. When [[Rayman]] defeats [[Mr Skops]] in [[Mr Skops' Stalactites|his lair]], he hears Betilla crying out to him for help. At the end of the game, [[Rayman]] defeats [[Mr Dark]] in [[Candy Château|his Château]], and the inhabitants of [[the valley]] celebrate. [[Rayman]]'s rescue of Betilla and his recovery of the [[Great Protoon]] are not shown, but an epilogue screen indicates that both occurred. Betilla does not appear in the direct sequels, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' (where her role is taken by [[Ly]] the Fairy) and ''[[Rayman 3]]'' (which features no major [[fairy]] characters).

===In ''Rayman Junior''===

{{Quote|text=She is gentle, benevolent and protective, but sometimes a little naughty – she is full of surprises. Betilla will give [[Rayman]] extraordinary powers and teach him to control them. Thanks to her, [[Rayman]] is better equipped to fight the evil creatures that will arise in his wake.|sign=Official site|source=''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]''}}

Betilla makes a notable appearance in ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'', where she assists [[the Magician]] in giving [[Rayman]] an overview on the tasks he must carry out in order to complete a level. 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.

==In ''Rayman Origins''==

{{Quote|text=The benevolent yet badass Betilla from ''[[Rayman 1]]'' is back with a vengeance. She is the eldest [[Nymph]], one of [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s first and most beloved creatures. She and her sisters will grant [[Rayman]] and his entourage the powers they will need to complete their quest.|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

Betilla first appeared in the E3 2010 trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''. In this game she is identified as the oldest [[nymph]] and an old friend of [[Polokus]]. 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.

{{Quote|text=When [[Polokus|the Creator]] had his very [[First Bad Dream|first bad dream]], the [[nymph]]s gathered to invoke a being of light capable of saving [[Glade of Dreams|our world]]: a creature both agile and carefree, as tenacious as he is hilarious, destined to crack up the Creator with his heroic antics and stop [[Jano|the nightmare]]!

Unfortunately, although not surprisingly, our bedazzling and bodacious [[nymph]]s were distracted by some [[Zombie Chicken]]s on their way to [[Polokus|Bubble Dreamer]]'s sacred snoring grounds, and they lost a sack of [[Lum (UbiArt games)|lums]] chasing the crazy creatures over a cliff. Thus, they arrived late and with a lot less illumination.

In the end, [[Rayman]] was born with a few fewer limbs, which as it turned out, made him a whole lot more limber!

|sign=Manual|source=''[[Rayman Origins]]''}}

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.

Additionally, this story contradicts that of the origins of the same [[Zombie Chicken]]s which, according to the manual of ''[[Rayman 2]]'' and their in-game description in ''[[Rayman 3]]'', were created because of the damages the [[Robo-Pirate]]s have caused when invading the [[Glade of Dreams]], and therefore would not have existed yet at the time of [[Rayman]]'s birth.

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]].

There is a trophy/achievement called [[Betilla's Back!]], which unlocks once a player rescuing her from the [[Antitoon|Darktoon]].

==In ''Rayman Jungle Run''==

In ''[[Rayman Jungle Run]]'', Betilla appears behind the [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] counter if the player manages to collect every [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lum]] in a level. There also a wallpaper of her that can be unlocked if enough [[Lum (UbiArt games)|Lums]] are collected.

==In ''Rayman Legends Retold''==

Betilla is set to appear in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' with a more realistic, human-like redesign.

A Betilla-themed skin for [[Barbara]] based on her appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] will appear in ''Rayman Legends Retold'' as part of the Deluxe Edition's "Retro Pack."

==In other games==

=== ''Brawlhalla'' ===

In the fighting game ''Brawlhalla'', a statue of Betilla appears in the map [[Kung Foot|Kung Foot Arena]]. Her appearance is the same as in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' but she wears a different outfit. This might be because her original outfit in that game was deemed too inappropriate for a children's video game.

==Trivia==

[[File:R2 Proto Fairy.PNG|thumb|320px|Betilla, as she would have appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']]]]

* Early in its development, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|was planned as a 2D game]] very similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. An early promotional video and magazine preview revealed that Betilla would make an appearance in the game, and that she would be imprisoned by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. In the final, 3D version of the game, Betilla was replaced by [[Ly]], a different [[fairy]].

* Another character with some resemblance is [[Betina]] from ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]'', but only her name and the colours of her clothes and hair support this speculation.

* Betilla's name can be seen on a leaderboard in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', alongside a default score of 9000.

* The ending of ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' shows Betilla knitting while housesitting [[the Magician]]'s cottage and watching as he celebrates [[Rayman]]'s victory on the television.

* ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'' also reveals that [[Betilla's House|Betilla has a house of her own]]. Players can explore it and find extra activities. It also works as the menu for the game. This image also appears in the French '''[https://raymanpc.com/Img/dossierpresse_rayman3.pdf dossier presse]''' booklet which was released to tie in with ''[[Rayman 3]]''; in the booklet, the image of the house is used as the background for a page which gives an overview of [[Rayman 1|the original game]] in general.

* In 2007, [[Ubisoft]] partnered with UNICEF to create '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsQHz6lSzK0 three brief videos]''' to raise awareness of children's rights issues. In one of the videos, [[Rayman]] chastises a [[Rabbid]] for not sharing a book with a [[baby Globox]]. On the front cover of the book is a picture of Betilla.

* After a [[bomb-launching clown]] draws a picture of Betilla in ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'', [[the Magician]] identifies her as his ‘favourite [[fairy]]’.

* Betilla makes an appearance in the animated sketch comedy television series ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_(TV_series) Mad]'', in an episode entitled "Adventures of TaunTaun / Everyone Loves Rayman." The sketch portrays her as [[Rayman]]'s wife, with whom they have two [[Teensie]]s as their own children and her name is changed to Betilda. This sketch is a combined parody of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] and the American sitcom ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Loves_Raymond Everybody Loves Raymond]''.

+==In ''Rayman Legends Retold''==
+Betilla is set to appear in ''[[Rayman Legends Retold]]'' with a more realistic, human-like redesign.
+A Betilla-themed skin for [[Barbara]] based on her appearance in [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'' game]] will appear in ''Rayman Legends Retold'' as part of the Deluxe Edition's "Retro Pack."

+==In other games==
+=== ''Brawlhalla'' ===
+In the fighting game ''Brawlhalla'', a statue of Betilla appears in the map [[Kung Foot|Kung Foot Arena]]. Her appearance is the same as in ''[[Rayman Origins]]'' but she wears a different outfit. This might be because her original outfit in that game was deemed too inappropriate for a children's video game.

+==Trivia==
+[[File:R2 Proto Fairy.PNG|thumb|320px|Betilla, as she would have appeared in [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|the cancelled 2D version of ''Rayman 2'']]]]
+* Early in its development, ''[[Rayman 2]]'' [[Rayman 2 (cancelled prototype)|was planned as a 2D game]] very similar to [[Rayman 1|the original ''Rayman'']]. An early promotional video and magazine preview revealed that Betilla would make an appearance in the game, and that she would be imprisoned by the [[Robo-Pirate]]s. In the final, 3D version of the game, Betilla was replaced by [[Ly]], a different [[fairy]].
+* Another character with some resemblance is [[Betina]] from ''[[Rayman: The Animated Series]]'', but only her name and the colours of her clothes and hair support this speculation.
+* Betilla's name can be seen on a leaderboard in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', alongside a default score of 9000.
+* The ending of ''[[Maths and English with Rayman]]'' shows Betilla knitting while housesitting [[the Magician]]'s cottage and watching as he celebrates [[Rayman]]'s victory on the television.
+* ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'' also reveals that [[Betilla's House|Betilla has a house of her own]]. Players can explore it and find extra activities. It also works as the menu for the game. This image also appears in the French '''[https://raymanpc.com/Img/dossierpresse_rayman3.pdf dossier presse]''' booklet which was released to tie in with ''[[Rayman 3]]''; in the booklet, the image of the house is used as the background for a page which gives an overview of [[Rayman 1|the original game]] in general.
+* In 2007, [[Ubisoft]] partnered with UNICEF to create '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsQHz6lSzK0 three brief videos]''' to raise awareness of children's rights issues. In one of the videos, [[Rayman]] chastises a [[Rabbid]] for not sharing a book with a [[baby Globox]]. On the front cover of the book is a picture of Betilla.
+* After a [[bomb-launching clown]] draws a picture of Betilla in ''[[Rayman Activity Centre]]'', [[the Magician]] identifies her as his ‘favourite [[fairy]]’.
+* Betilla makes an appearance in the animated sketch comedy television series ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_(TV_series) Mad]'', in an episode entitled "Adventures of TaunTaun / Everyone Loves Rayman." The sketch portrays her as [[Rayman]]'s wife, with whom they have two [[Teensie]]s as their own children and her name is changed to Betilda. This sketch is a combined parody of the [[Rayman (series)|''Rayman'' series]] and the American sitcom ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody_Loves_Raymond Everybody Loves Raymond]''.
