Appearance: Old Bettys appear to be the "granny" of tortoises. They are always a shade of grey, and due to their softer nature, are incredibly wrinkly. They are about half the size of Fat Bobs, their male counterparts. Their shells are not hard, but rather a soft, cool leathery feel. Every part of them to the touch is soft.

Habitat: Old Bettys can be found in a wide range around Ol' Tuck's Run, with large concentrations near to where people live. They connect well with people, and actively seek them out. As a tortoise, they don't live in water, so they are always found on land with suitable vegetation.

Lifespan and Development: Old Betty's can live for up to 50 arcs when unbound to a person. However, if they pair with a person, they will live for as long as that person does. Once their partner dies, they die too, even if its before their normal lifespan. Because of this, parents often give them to children as pets at a young age, to have a life long companion. They can mate after 10 arcs of age. It takes about a half arc for the eggs to hatch, and another arc to reach full maturity. Old Betty's also lay eggs once ever 2 tenday, typically 20 or so at a time.

Diet: Any form of vegetation, but seem to particularly enjoy fruits and vegetables, especially if hand fed by their partner.

Temperament: Old Bettys are incredibly docile and curious of people, and will actively seek them out for companionship. They love small children, and don't mind being played with, cuddled with, or even used as pillows. They even seem to enjoy being decorated and dressed up as small children are often want to do.

Abilities: Long lifespan when paired with a person. Lay a lot of eggs.
