After the series rolled on, Betty Boop's mannerisms and traits were later based on Mae Questel, who often did the voice on a regular basis, starting from 1931.

Clara and Betty were frequently contrasted, most notably in Hollywood on Parade No. The flappers of the 1920s, most notably Clara Bow, were the inspiration for Betty Boop's appearance. Besides, there was a certain girlishness in her personality, which was emphasized by her style of singing, sentimentality, and overall flapper-like behavior. In Betty's earlier cartoons, male characters liked to put moves on Betty, and generally she provoked that. All other cartoon girls of that time did not differ much from animated male characters, with only eyelashes, voice and outfit alterations to show their femininity. She was the first character on the animation screen to represent a sexual woman. Betty Boop is a light-hearted flapper reminding the audience of the carefree times of the Jazz Age. In online fandom, fan art and fiction there is also alternatively a Black Betty Boop. Betty is also known as Baby Boop or Bitsy Boop and on the day of the celebration of Halloween, Betty goes by the name Betty Boo and Betty 'Boo' Boop. Betty is notable for her spit curls, baby-talk and scat singing. She is a female cartoon character best known for her ' Boop-Oop-a-Doop' catchphrase, which is usually followed by a ' Bop', something she frequently incorporates into her routine and which is a high-pitched squeak. Betty Boop is the main character of the series.
