Miles Prower, 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 mechanical genius and aerial pilot.
