Betilla: Difference between revisions

m Why this piece has been removed? If the few small differences of the Magician from the early stage have to be specified, then why not Betilla's too?
Your addition was not removed, it was transferred to the newly created "Appearance" section, where it belongs.

In ''[[Rayman Origins]]'', while Betilla retains her long red hair (which has become even longer) and ability to float, she now has small, very translucent wings, 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 small golden earrings, 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 smaller eyes and no freckles on her face. 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.

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]]).

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.
