Elizabeth "Betty" Giselle [citation needed]-DeVille is Phil and Lil's single mother. She is very nice, but also tends to speak boisterously and in a strong voice. Though outwardly opposites, she and Didi are very good friends. She comes off as a tough and energetic woman, and fawns over her twins. She loves a good cup of coffee and is always quick with a witty comment. She loves sports, such as football, and always wears a blue headband. She is considered a main character in Nickelodeon's 2021 animated TV series Rugrats.

Description

Betty is loud, energetic, tough, and athletic, but friendly and likable. Unlike the original, Betty isn't married (at least not yet) and also appears to be raising Phil and Lil as a single parent (as Howard hasn't appeared in the reboot as of yet). Betty's also revealed to be a lesbian in the reboot (she mentions having an ex-girlfriend in the reboot's pilot episode and is shown to be dating a woman named Trish in "Mission to the Little"). Her new actress Natalie Morales commented "anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the alphabet mafia" referencing this, leading some to describe this as Betty being "gay", such as Tatiana Tenreiro of AV Club.[1] In addition to being a single mother, Betty has been re-written as being part Latina, and as part of the Carmichaels’ main group of friends.[2]

While it's unknown what she did for a living the reboot (aside from helping out Chas and Kira at the Java Lava Coffeehouse), Betty (in the reboot) is revealed to be the owner/operator of a popular coffeehouse called "Betty's Beans" that serves up a wide variety of tea, coffee and pastries. Betty encourages to take photos of her products and tag them on social media -- she also has a little play area set up for the twins and their friends for when she brings them to the shop.

Looks

Betty's appearance is still similar to her 1991 counterpart's. She has peach skin, brown hair and pink lips. The collar of her shirt is now navy instead of peach, her shirt remains purple while the female symbol has been replaced with a golden Gemini symbol. She now only wears one watch on one of her wrists, her socks are shorted and colored white. She wears dark blue track pants with black cuffing along with black canvas sneakers with red shoelaces.

Appearances

As of right now, Betty appears in every episode of the 2021 series except for the following episodes:

Trivia

  • As revealed in "Tooth or Share", Betty has a fear of public speaking.
  • According to Tia Esperanza, Betty once, as a child, stood up in front of the church they went to and announced that she wasn't wearing something. Of course Tia Esperanza was cut off by Betty before revealing what it was.
    • It can be assumed underwear was what Tia Esperanza was likely going to say.
    • Betty also mentions that supposedly because of this incident is why she doesn't do well with public speaking.
