Brianna's Characterization: In the beginning of Uglies, the main character, Tally, is pretty much self centered and just concerned about becoming pretty so that she can join her friend Peris. She spent her time as an ugly as all other uglies do. Pulling tricks and having fun. She spends time with her new friend, Shay, and Shay tells her that she does not want to become and pretty and she is going to run away. All Tally wants is to become pretty, so she doesn't go with her. But she quickly turns on her new friend when the Specials threaten not to turn her pretty. By the end of the book, Tally has had a total change of heart. She has spent a while in the Smoke, which is the camp where runaways go when they don't want to become pretty. She's concerned about more people than just herself. She makes the decision to go back and save her friends who have become captured because of her. She risks everything for her new friends, something she probably wouldn't have done in the beginning of the book. In the end Tally makes the decision to return to Uglyville and become pretty so that she can try an experimental drug that will take out the lesions in the pretty's brains that make them pretty much stupid. She does this to save Shay, who was turned a pretty, and all of her friends that have already been turned pretty. So she has pretty much come from being self centered to risking everything for the people that she loves. Some of the strengths that Tally has is that she loves with her whole heart, she is very determined, and she is very brave and smart. Tally learns to love pretty much everyone that walks into her life. Because of this, she has to use her bravery and determination to save the people that she has learned to love. But bravery and determination can also be a weakness. If you think you're brave, you might end up doing stupid things just to prove that you are brave. She was really determined to follow Shay to the Smoke so that she could turn everyone in and become pretty. At the beginning of the book one of her major weaknesses is selfishness. She has spent her whole life waiting to become pretty, and she spends most of her time designing her faces and thinking about how much better everything will be once she becomes pretty.
