Ly: Difference between revisions

===''Rayman 2''===

Ly's story begins in Rayman's mind, when she tells him that the [[Robo-Pirates]] have broken the [[Heart of the World]] into 1000 [[Yellow Lum]]s and that it has weakened her, before he gets captured.  She is then consulted by [[Globox]], who she gives a Silver Lum to give to Rayman before they are both captured.  While Globox is taken to the Buccaneer, Ly is held prisoner in an electrified forcefield in one of the pirate strongholds, deep in the [[Fairy Glade]].  The Silver Lum she created gives Rayman the ability to shoot balls of energy, and it is put to good use as he eventually finds her and destroys the machine that controlled the forcefield, freeing her.  By then, she only has enough energy to create one Silver Lum, which upgrades Rayman's shooting ability to be used with Purple [[Lums]].  Before leaving to gather more energy, she passes her knowledge about Polokus and his four masks to him.

===''[[Rayman Revolution]]''===

In ''Rayman Revolution'', it is revealed that Ly resides in a house built in a giant tree somewhere in the [[East Plain]], and it is there that she offers Rayman to play some mini games that top up his health and power, provided that he frees and brings to her enough [[Familiar Spirit]]s for each game.  She also meditates from a stone in the area of [[Globox's House]], and a stele in [[Rainbow Creek]].  She is also a playable character in the unlockable mini game [[Missile Dogfight]].   

==Character Description==  

===Appearance===

While she is of a very thin build, Ly shares some typical fairy attributes, such as her long elven ears, her magical powers, and the ability to float in mid-air.  Like [[Betilla the Fairy]], but unlike other fairies, she does not have wings.  She has short purple hair and a long, bushy tail of the same colour, while having green eyes and lips.  Contrary to popular belief, she is not naked, but wears a yellow suit with plum stripes and swirls all over.  Because of her tail, it is speculated that she may have some animal - most likely feline - characteristics.  Early concept artwork for ''Rayman 2'' that depicted her shows that she may have been originally an anthropomorphic cat, as she appeared to have cat ears and a non-human nose.  In the Walks of Life and Power, she sometimes runs on all fours.         

==Trivia==

*Ly was originally going to appear in ''[[Rayman M]]'', as several promotional pictures and even the back cover of the game showed, but was in the end replaced by [[Tily the Fairy]].

* There was a concept artwork for ''Rayman 3'' which may have depicted Ly with a totally different appearance.  She had no tail, but instead had huge dragonfly-like wings, her hair and lips were now phthalo blue instead of purple, and she wore a new outfit of the same colour, as well as a pair of elbow length gloves, while also having blue dots over her face and arms.  This design was dropped from the final game, though it can be found as a printable in the [[Rayman 3 Print Studio]].
