Tails, or Miles “Tails” Prower, is a two-tailed fox who is Sonic’s best friend and sidekick.
iles Prower (マイルス・パウアー Mairusu Pauā?), better known as Tails (テイルス Teirusu?), is a fictional character that appears in the
Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an
anthropomorphic fox born with two distinct twin-tails, hence his nickname. Due to his abnormality, Tails was a victim to bullying during his youth. One day, however, he met
Sonic the Hedgehog and was inspired to become as cool as him after seeing him run like the wind. Tails soon after began following Sonic on his adventures and has since become his best friend and sidekick. He is able to use his twin-tails to fly by rotating them like helicopter rotors and is a mechanic genius and aerial pilot.
A gentle and sweet-natured soul, Tails was initially timid and lacked courage. After meeting Sonic, however, Tails has become more confident, eventually growing into a more outgoing, brave, independent individual and a hero in his own right. Since encountering Sonic, Tails has looked up to him and stood by his side, helping him whenever he can during their adventures.
I've changed a lot since I've started
hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him
forever. I know I can do this by myself!
