Miles Prower

Miles Prower, also known as Tails and Fox Boy, is one of the main characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
== Charactah Account ==
Tails is an anthropomorphic fox cub born with two distinct twin-tails, hence his nickname. Due to his abnormality, Tails was a victim of 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 bright, energetic, and curious fox,[7] Tails was initially timid and lacked courage. After meeting Sonic, however, he 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 in order to help him whenever he can, having travelled around the world and far beyond alongside him, usually to stop the ambitions of the evil Dr. Eggman.

== Trivia ==
* Tails' possession of two tails is derived from the mythological kitsune(Japanese for "Fox") from common Japanese folklore. The kitsune is said to be capable of growing multiple tails - nine tails at maximum - with it being said that the more tails it has, the more old, wise and powerful it is.
* His real name "Miles Prower" is a pun on "miles per hour", a reference to the famed speed of the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
* To celebrate Tails' 25th anniversary, Tails' original creator Yasushi Yamaguchi posted an artwork of the character along with several facts about Tails. He explained the secret image of Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog CD features a car because at the time Sonic had a specific favorite car model, the "Lamborghini Countach". The artist decided that Miles should have a favorite car too, so he chose the "Lotus Super Seven". The same car can also be seen in an illustration used for Sega Saturn testing.
* Tails' outstanding speed is partially due his training with Sonic.
* During his first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Tails' fur was orange in color, but the color was changed to yellow-orange in Sonic Adventure artwork, and light-yellow for Sonic Heroes.
* Tails and Eggman are the only characters who are addressed by their nicknames, with their full names of "Miles Prower" and "Doctor Ivo Robotnik" being used far less.
* Tails is the youngest character to have a Super State.
* His fur color seems to vary a little bit from every game, from orange in-between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, to brown in both Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehoganimated series, to golden yellow in Sonic Adventure, to being orange in Sonic Adventure 2 and to yellow in Sonic Heroes.
* As proven in Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Tails seems to get dizzy easily and feels pretty uncomfortable when he gets dizzy. This is an inconsistency concerning the character, due to his "Rapid Tail Spin" attack in Sonic Adventure and the Spin Dash attack.
* Tails appears to have phasmophobia, a fear of ghosts, first made apparent in Sonic Heroes.
* Sonic Underground is the only Sonic cartoon series in which Tails does not make an appearance.
* In issue #188 of the GameInformer magazine, Tails had the #6 worst video game character name, mainly because of the "miles per hour" joke.
* The September 2010 issue of GameInformer magazine elected Tails as the 10th "Most Disgustingly Cute" Video Game Character.
* All of Tails' solo theme songs are "Believe in Myself" or some kind of remixed version.
* As seen in Sonic Colors, Tails can read binary fluently, although it was shown later that the codes were in Hexadecimal.
* Nintendo Power magazine had a poll asking which sidekick people would choose, with Tails being the second most picked.
* In Sonic Adventure, in the cutscene after the Egg Carrier shoots down Sonic and Tails (if playing Tails' story), it shows a flashback where Tails is walking in the jungle of Mystic Ruins and Sonic speeds by, with Tails running right behind him (a reference to how they met). The Mystic Ruins is used for this scene, rather than having to develop an entirely different environment that would only be used once.
* Modern Tails' artwork in Sonic Generations looks very similar to his artwork in Sonic Advance 3, whereas his Classic artwork appears to be completely new.
* It would be physically impossible for Tails to fly, due to his tails having to twist. However, if one slows down footage of him spinning his tails to fly/move, they do not actually turn through morphing of the model, but actually mesh through each other. This minor inconsistency would not normally be noticeable at normal speed, though.
* Unlike Sonic's classic form, Classic Tails speaks in Sonic Generations.
* Even though Tails is one of the fastest characters in the series, he is a Skill Type in the Mario & Sonic series, due to the fact that there can only be two characters per type; Sonic and Shadow are faster, and Tails is still one of the main characters. This is also the case for Eggman.
* Tails has the most voice actors out of all of the characters, with nine English voice actors (counting his TV show and movie appearances). Often times, Tails was cast with young boy voice actors to provide a genuine youthful male voice for the role, although this would always cause the need to recast him once the voice actor's voice matured too far to continuing voicing him. In recent years, Tails has been voiced by females, in order to avoid the aforementioned issue.
* A bonus wallpaper, accessed from inserting the Dreamcast version of Sonic Adventure into a computer, shows Tails out of his trademark white-and-red shoes, and instead wearing sandals. This also reveals the shape of his feet.
* In Spiral Knights, there's a Tails costume that allows player to wear Tails' tails, along with a Metal Sonic costume.
* In Sonic Generations, Tails' Classic "pose" in the profile section is in the "pose" at the beginning of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
* In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Tails and Sonic are the only characters in the game that can carry on different conversations via selecting different speech bubbles with the stylus.
* Despite the fact that Tails is Sonic's best friend, foxes are predators of hedgehogs in real life.
* Despite being a fox, Tails has been mistaken for a squirrel; during Nintendo Power's run, the magazine would occasionally refer to Tails as a squirrel, although typically for humorous purposes.
* In the bad ending of the 8-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, it is never confirmed but implied that Tails dies.
* Tails is the only playable character in Sonic Advance 3 who does not have a dialogue.
