'''Betilla the Fairy''' is a character from ''[[Rayman (game)|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Junior]]''.  Despite the name similarity, she is notably a different species from [[Ly the Fairy]].
'''Betilla the Fairy''' is a major character from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]''.  She is a limbless fairy, who uses her magic to grant [[Rayman]] with special powers that will help him recover the stolen [[Great Protoon]] from the clutches of [[Mister Dark]].


==Appearance==
==Video game appearances==
Betilla the Fairy resembles a [[Raymanian]], though certain anatomic differences set her apart in a way similar to [[Mister Dark]].  She has long red hair, wears very pale lipstick, and she wears a green and yellow hat and dress covered in blue stars. 


==Roles in the Games==
===''Rayman''===    
===''Rayman''/''Rayman Advance''===
Before the invasion by Mister Dark, it was Betilla's job to keep the Great Protoon and the [[Electoon]]s safeHer protective powers were sadly no match for Dark's, and he defeated her while taking the Great Protoon with him.  Following then, she would then have to wait for Rayman to find her from time to time, and give him one power at a time permanently to gradually build up his strength. She was later kidnapped herself by Mister Dark and trapped in a crystal ball, at a later point in the game, though the ending assumes that Rayman had rescued her along with the Great Protoon.  
It is Betilla's job to protect the [[Great Protoon]] from anything happening to itUnfortunately she was defeated by [[Mister Dark]] when he steals it, and was later kidnapped by him.  Before then, at certain points in the game, she would give [[Rayman (character)|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.


===''Rayman Junior''===
===Educational games===
In this remake, Betilla now has a proper human voice.  Along with the [[The Magician|Magician]], she gives Rayman an overview of the tasks he has to do in a specific level.  She also helps Rayman to practice his moves in a special tutorial level called [[Betilla's Garden]], which is basically a number of simplified maps from the original game used to practice the game's controls.
Betilla makes a notable appearance in ''[[Rayman Junior]]'', to assist [[the Magician]] in giving Rayman an overview on the tasks he has to complete in a level.  She had witnessed the theft of the Great Book of Knowledge by Mister Dark one day as she was visiting the Magician's cottage.  To allow the young player to practice, she has her own place on the world map called [[Betilla's Garden]], which is a series of simplified maps that cover most of Rayman's abilities.  Betilla is known to have appeared in other educational Rayman games for even younger children.     
 
==Character description==
[[Image:BetillaPoingGrappin.png|frame|Betilla gives Rayman one of his powers.]]
 
Betilla has long red hair, and wears a green and yellow dress, hat and shoes covered with blue stars. Very little is known about her past much like the other characters in the games, but she appears to be a meditative and peaceful character, with plenty of wisdom to guide Rayman along the way and teach him to use his powers effectively.   
 
==Trivia==
* ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' was about to feature a female character that bears a striking resemblance to Betilla, though in the final version she was replaced by Ly. 
* Another character with some resemblance is [[Betina]] from the [[Rayman: The Animated Series|Animated series]], but only the colours of her clothes and hair support this speculation.
* Although Betilla has not appeared in any ''Rayman'' game after educational versions of ''Rayman'', her name is used as a leaderboard name in ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''. 
* The ending of ''Rayman Junior'' reveals that she has an interest in knitting, as she was doing so while housesitting the Magician's cottage as he celebrated Rayman's victory.
