Miles Prower (マイルス・パーアワー Mairusu Pāawā?), better known as Tails (テイルス Teirusu?), is one of the main characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog manga series. He is an ally of Sonic the Hedgehog and his alter ego Nicky.
History[]
Even prior to meeting him for the first time, Tails was a big fan of Sonic's and greatly admired him.
Tails first appeared during Hedgehog Town's annual mushroom festival. He came to town hoping to meet Sonic since he heard that Sonic constantly appears there, when Dr. Eggman showed up to ruin the festival with his giant mushroom robot. During the chaos, Nicky transforms into Sonic and saves everyone. Since then, Tails has become either a good partner for Nicky or sidekick for Sonic, helping him from many situations. Often he also gets captured or gets into trouble along with the rest of the group.
Personality[]
Tails idolizes Sonic and tries to follow him everywhere he goes, sometimes even referring to him as if he were an older brother. He is extremely eager to please his idol and can sometimes be overbearing when trying to be helpful. On top of being rather clever in his own right, Tails seems to take after Sonic's feisty and cocksure nature, although his younger age gives it a much more playful air. When not deferring to Sonic he can even be somewhat full of himself, most likely due to his status as the hero's self described protege giving him a bit of an ego.
In his introduction in the CoroCoro comics, he is shown to have a cool attitude as he wears sunglasses and owns a sports car. Tails can be rude and impudent. For example, upon meeting Nicky and his friends, he mocks them for eating mushrooms, which he claims are a “wussy food”. However, Tails is also helpful, as he immediately uses his car to help Nicky chase Anton after he kidnaps Amy.
Powers and abilities[]
Tails will on occasion make use of his signature two tails by rapidly spinning them like helicopter rotors to fly short distances. Like Sonic, he can perform the Rolling Attack to roll at high speeds and smash targets. Tails has also been shown to possess a high skill of mechanical prowess, having created several contraptions to aid Sonic against Dr. Eggman as well as tampering with the doctor's own machines.
