Trivia[]
- Tali is the only character that can be a member of Shepard's squad in all three games of the Mass Effect trilogy who possesses a class-specific trait power/talent with the exact same name across all three games.
- For a counterexample, Garrus' trait is Turian Agent in the first game but Turian Rebel in the second and third games, while Liara's trait is Asari Scientist for the first two games but Pure Biotic for the third.
