I wanted to share this with you all - to have the discussion. See, my wife and I had a discussion last night about Tali's hair. She didn't like the photo, because in addition to the chop job, she didn't think Tali would have so much hair - that the quarian race as a whole would be rather hairless, from living inside of suits for so long.
My viewpoint was that since the animals on Rannoch were the ones that spread the pollen (even Tali mentions this) hair seemed like the best way to do it. The pollen gets caught on hair, and spread as the quarian would move around the world. I even said it might be that the quarians are actually hairier than the picture suggests, though I doubted it. My theory was simple. Tali, when we meet her in the game, is essentially a maiden. She's on her pilgrimage, is this kind of shy, nervous girl who has somehow stepped into a lot more than she bargained for with the information on Saren and the geth. By romancing her, encouraging her, she blossoms into this amazing woman...who still views herself as a girl, pretending to be something more. (It's in the dialogue when you first encounter her in ME3)
So I argued that my wife was correct - that hair underneath the suits was not a common thing at all - that quarians were either bald or had very short hair. Tali, however, was a maiden, and her hair was a vanity - she didn't have a mother around to take her aside and go 'Tali, hair might not be a good idea.' (And Raan might not've until it was too late) Notice the difference in Tali's headgear versus Raan's or Xen's. They're older women - they might've just gotten tired of fussing with it and shaved all or most of it off, while Tali's, which flairs out around a wider collar, is still very much present. She's still young enough and energetic enough to want to mess with the whole thing.
What do you guys think? (Or has this question already been answered?)
I think hair is more of a " Is it comfortable for you" kinda deal. If it bothers them, I would think that they'd cut it short or shave it all off. as for the spreading of pollen, I think those things on there neck are organic, not Cybernetic. Its probably some sort of sypioic organ. Like the Navi and there wierd tails. and the little circles are holes where they absorb the pollen. Just a thought. And something that may be creepy or not, in my head canon, when Tali gets excited, he hears a little airblower sound.
Retour en haut
I am not associating anything from that generic horse-crap of a movie with a character as awesome as Tali'Zorah.
