Netflix's Uglies made a pretty bold move, killing off a character that survived to the end of the book series. The sci-fi film is based on the first book in author Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, which was all the rage in my teenage years. I was among those who avidly read through Uglies, Pretties, and Specials and have been eager for a movie adaptation ever since.
Peris Definitely Didn't Die In The Uglies Books Peris' Fate Was A Major Change In Netflix's Uglies Close Though Peris was the primary reason Tally was so eager to become a Pretty in Uglies, he wasn't a particularly important character from chapter to chapter.
Peris Becoming A Special Defeated The Purpose Of His Character Peris Specifically Didn't Qualify To Be A Special In The Uglies Book Series As I mentioned, Peris was basically MIA for the majority of Uglies, but he was around a bit more throughout Westerfeld's sequel novel, Pretties. After Tally surrendered herself to the city, she was reunited with her best friend in New Pretty Town.
The dissolution of Tally and Peris' friendship in Uglies was meant to drive home the idea that some people truly are just happier being controlled. Later, in the threequel Specials, Tally becomes an agent of Special Circumstances—a Special—because of her ability to think her way past the government's brain control. It's noted explicitly that pretty, docile Peris could never have become a Special.
