Betty Ripsom is a minor character in Stephen King´s IT, published in 1986. She is first mentioned in one of the first chapters, as she was one of the first children in Derry allegedly kidnapped/killed by an unknown criminal. It is later revealed that she was also a victim of Pennywise (It), much like Georgie Denbrough (brother of the main character, Bill). She was one of the "dead kids", whose voices Pennywise taunted The Losers' Club with. Betty is around 11 years old, and known a little bit by the main characters. There is a search dedicated to finding Betty, but her death is quickly forgotten by the adults of the city. In the 2017 movie adaptation a "missing" poster of Ripsom is seen around the city. Her main appearance in the 2017 film is when Beverly Marsh is being taunted by IT´s illusion of the dead children, whose whispers are coming from down the drain of her sink. She hears Betty call out to her, and tries to push a metre dow the drain, leading to the very known scene of blood spraying from the sink, covering the whole bathroom in red. Lastly, Betty is seen by the main characters in the finale, as they walk through the city sewers to come face to face with IT, her body floating with the other victims of the monster.
