Betilla does not appear in the direct sequels, Rayman 2 (where her role is taken by Ly the Fairy) and Rayman 3 (which features no major fairy characters).īetilla first appeared in the E3 2010 trailer of Rayman Origins. Rayman's rescue of Betilla and his recovery of the Great Protoon are not shown, but an epilogue screen indicates that both occurred. At the end of the game, Rayman defeats Mr Dark in his Château, and the inhabitants of the valley celebrate. When Rayman defeats Mr Skops in his lair, he hears Betilla crying out to him for help. During Rayman's battle with Space Mama in her Crater, Mr Dark kidnaps Betilla and traps her in a tiny crystal ball. Throughout the game, Betilla meets with Rayman five times, each time granting him a new permanent power, gradually building up his strength and abilities. Her powers were no match for those of the evil Mr Dark, who defeats her at the beginning of the game, stealing the Great Protoon and kidnapping the Electoons. Prior to the invasion by Mr Dark, it seems that it was Betilla's job to protect the Great Protoon – the mystical orb which keeps the world in balance – and the Electoons, little creatures which gravitate around it. She appears to be a meditative and peaceful character in both games (despite the chaos Mr Dark has brought upon the valley in the original Rayman), with great wisdom and the helpfulness to guide Rayman throughout his quest and teach him to use his powers effectively. She also wears small golden earrings, a necklace and several gold bangles on both forearms. In Rayman Origins, while she 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. At the tip of her hat float three pink orbs. She has long red hair, and wears a green and yellow dress, and a hat and shoes covered with blue stars. She does not have wings, and does not appear to have the elven ears characteristic of other fairies such as Ly the Fairy. In the original Rayman, she shares only a few attributes of a typical fairy, such as her ability to float in mid-air, and her ability to give Rayman his powers with her magic.
