Description of Tally Youngblood:

Tally is the 16-year-old protagonist of Uglies. She is characterized as mischievous, good-hearted, and beauty-obsessed. Her dearest wish is to undergo the operation that will turn her pretty. When Special Circumstances forces Tally to pursue Shay and reveal the location of the Smoke or be denied the surgery, Tally faces a life-altering decision: betray her friend or remain ugly forever. She undergoes a substantial emotional transformation throughout the novel. While she is initially convinced of the ethics and necessity of the surgery, by the end Tally realizes that the surgery is immoral and she is living in a tyrannical surveillance state.
