Tali'Zorah is a fictional character of the quarian alien race in BioWare's ''Mass Effect'' franchise, who serves as a party member (or "squadmate") in all three games in the ''Mass Effect'' trilogy. Within the series, she is a skilled technician and the daughter of Rael'Zorah, a member of the quarian judicial review Admiralty Board. Ash "Liz" Sroka voices Tali in each of her appearances. Outside of the trilogy, Tali appears in ''Mass Effect: Homeworlds'', a comic series with individual issues on each of several ''Mass Effect 3'' squadmates. Tali was initially the only quarian in the series. In the sequels, more extreme variations of her design were discarded in favor of revisions on her previous look. The ''Mass Effect 3'' development team considered her removal from the squad, but ultimately chose to include her due to staff interest. The team also debated whether to reveal her masked face. Tali has been received positively, with placements on several "top character" lists, and is one of the more popular characters in the series. Her unveiled face was a popular online discussion topic, and was criticized after its reveal for its stock photo origins. Various merchandise for the character, as with other of the series' squadmates, has been released. ==Character overview== Tali is a quarian, one of a nomadic alien race driven from their homeworld by a race of software-based intelligences which they created, the geth. As a quarian, Tali must wear a full-body environmental suit due to her race's weaker immune systems, which also has the effect of hiding her physical appearance and facial features. Tali is first introduced on her Pilgrimage, a quarian rite where young adults leave to obtain a gift for a captain so as to be allowed to join their crew.〔 Having completed this after the first game, her design in ''Mass Effect 2'' and ''3'' reflects her new maturity.〔''Mass Effect 2: Collector's Edition Art Book''.〕 In both ''Mass Effect 2'' and ''Mass Effect 3'', Tali's default appearance can be changed to various alternate outfits; ''Mass Effect 2'' unlocks one outfit by completing her loyalty mission while another requires buying the "Alternate Appearance Pack 2",〔 and ''Mass Effect 3'' offers one alternate from the start and unlocks another by buying the ''From Ashes'' DLC.〔 She is a skilled technician and engineer, and renowned in the quarian Migrant Fleet, the spaceship collective home to the race.〔 She has additional pressure to excel as the daughter of Admiral Rael'Zorah, though the Admiralty position is not technically hereditary.〔 Her father was also strict and had high expectations, and tried to set an example for the rest of the fleet;〔 this made him distant and saddened Tali.〔 Thanks to her father, she also received some of the best military training available on the fleet.〔 Tali is very loyal to the fleet, and her voice actress Liz Sroka describes her as willing to sacrifice her life for it.〔 Sroka uses an accent described as "unidentifiable pseudo-Eastern European, quarian Gypsy" to voice the character.〔 Sroka described her as being "grounded in her beliefs" but also having a certain "humility" to her.〔 Sroka also underlined her vulnerability, which she felt was one of the character's strengths.〔 She described the possible romance with player-character Commander Shepard as her "sexual awakening", which she also felt helped demonstrate the character's vulnerability.〔 Tali's name changes over the course of the series. Her birth ship was the ''Rayya'', as evidenced by her full name in the first game ("Tali'Zorah nar Rayya"). At the start of ''Mass Effect 2'', she is called Tali'Zorah vas Neema, showing that, having completed her Pilgrimage, she has become part of the crew of the ''Neema''. During her loyalty mission in ''2'', her name changes to "vas Normandy", as she officially joins Commander Shepard's crew. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tali'Zorah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
