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 [[Moons|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]]). | Betilla first appeared in the E3 2010 trailer of ''[[Rayman Origins]]''.

Like for [[the Magician]] disguised as [[Mr Dark]] in the E3 2011 trailer and on ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20160224002032/http://raymanorigins.fr.ubi.com/dailybubble/index.php?language=EN&editionNum=9 ''The Daily Bubble'' #9 – Secrets]'', Betilla has very few changes in the final ''Rayman Origins'' game since her appearance in the E3 2010 trailer, like smaller eyes in her normal status, a few jewelry and the absence of freckles on her face. The early design, however, has been used in the manual of Rayman Origins and in promotional material even after the release of the game, like in an image celebrating Rayman's 20th anniversary in 2015 alongside many other characters of the series. | |||
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. | ||

* 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]''. | * 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."
