17	* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: Her personality is turned inside out as she starts the series as an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, PluckyGirl, UnwittingPawn, GirlNextDoor with BewareTheNiceOnes tendencies and by the end of the quartet she has become a combination of the ActionGirl, FamedInStory, JerkWithAHeartOfGold, ManipulativeBitch, GoodIsNotNice, and BrokenBird tropes. Even more fascinating is that she starts the series as an Anti-Villain(Dr. Cable tricks her into unwittingly helping the bad guys)and ends the series as an Anti-Hero(She saves the world and threatens to hurt anyone who tries to destroy it again).
18	* BecomingTheMask: Tally slowly begins to love the Smoke and decides to make it her new home and not tell Dr. Cable its location.

Later in Pretties, it is revealed that she can rewire her brain and is able to reverse the MindControl she's been put through by sheer willpower.

154	* SmugSnake
155	* TakeOverTheWorld: Her goal at the end of ''Specials'' is revealed to be this. This was foreshadowed in ''Uglies'' when Tally rescues Shay and Shay mentions this. However, it isn’t until Dr. Cable has Tally trapped in ''Specials'' that she reveals that this was her master plan the entire time.
