Having completed this after the first game, her design in Mass Effect 2 and 3 reflects her new maturity. 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. 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 a quarian, one of a nomadic alien race driven from their homeworld, Rannoch, by a race of software-based intelligences which they created, the geth. Liz Sroka, in an interview with The Gaming Liberty I see Tali as having quietly kept the innocence she had when she first started out on her pilgrimage as she toughens up and learns how grueling the galaxy can be. She's so tough and so strong and so sarcastic and direct but we got to see in Mass Effect 2 how vulnerable she can be. Various merchandise for the character, as with other of the series' squadmates, has been released. Her unveiled face was a popular online discussion topic, and was criticized after its reveal for its stock photo origins. Tali has been received positively, with placements on several 'top character' lists, and is one of the more popular characters in the series. The team also debated whether to reveal her masked face. The Mass Effect 3 development team considered her removal from the squad, but ultimately chose to include her due to staff interest. In the sequels, more extreme variations of her design were discarded in favor of revisions on her previous look. Tali was initially the only quarian in the series. Outside of the trilogy, Tali appears in Mass Effect: Homeworlds, a comic series with individual issues on each of several Mass Effect 3 squadmates. Ash 'Liz' Sroka voices Tali in each of her appearances.

Within the series, she is a skilled technician and the daughter of Rael'Zorah, a member of the quarian judicial review Admiralty Board. Tali'Zorah, or Tali in short, is a fictional character in BioWare's Mass Effect franchise, who serves as a party member (or 'squadmate') in all three games in the Mass Effect trilogy.
