* LovedByAll: Nearly everyone loves Betty. Less sympathetic characters only like her for her looks, while most other characters also love her because she's so kind and innocent. When Betty is endangered by lustful villains in ''WesternAnimation/TheOldManOfTheMountain'' and ''WesternAnimation/BoopOopADoop'', her friends rush in to save her. One of the only characters who hates her is the Queen in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhite1933'', who envies Betty for being the fairest in the land.
