Betilla makes a notable appearance in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', 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.

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]]).

{{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 [[The 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)|lum]]s 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!

While Betilla herself does not appear in ''[[Rayman in the Phantom Show]]'', the third DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', [[Rayman]]'s [[Blaster#Weapon skins|Legendary Blaster]] is styled after her.
