Yes, Tally does become a Pretty. This significant transformation marks a pivotal point in her journey within the Uglies series.
Tally's Transformation to a Pretty
At the conclusion of the first book, Uglies, Tally Youngblood undergoes the drastic physical change to become a Pretty. This procedure is a societal norm in her world, where all citizens are transformed from "Uglies" to "Pretties" upon reaching a certain age.
Her looks are completely altered, aligning with the highly idealized and uniform beauty standards of Pretty society. This change is not just superficial; it's a gateway to a new life and status.
Life in Pretty Town
Upon her transformation, Tally begins living in Pretty Town. This district is designed for those who have completed the procedure and is characterized by its lavish and luxurious environment.
Her daily routine, as described, becomes one of ease and extravagance, a stark contrast to her earlier life as an Ugly. Initially, this represents the fulfillment of a long-held desire to fit in and experience the "dream life" promised by her society.
Key aspects of her life as a Pretty:
- Drastically changed appearance: Her facial features and overall physique are perfected according to societal ideals.
- Lavish surroundings: Pretty Town offers opulent living conditions and amenities.
- Routine: While she wakes up and goes about a "normal routine," everything surrounding her is designed to be luxurious and carefree.
This transformation sets the stage for new conflicts and realizations for Tally as she grapples with the true implications of becoming a Pretty.
