'''Miles Prower''', known by most simply as '''''Tails''''', is an [[anthropomorphic]] fox/kitsune with two tails. He is [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s best friend, and acts like his kid brother. The two are nearly inseparable, although recently Tails has been striving for more and more [[independence]]. He always helps his [[List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters|buddies]] take on the diabolical [[Dr. Eggman]] and his minions [[Shadow the Hedgehog]] and [[Rouge the Bat]]. Tails also is almost always around to help out his friends take on more serious threats, like [[Eggman Nega]], [[Cornelia]], [[Assuma]] and [[Nalakh]]. Tails uses his ability to fly, as well as his [[Tails' inventions|machines]] and incredible [[IQ]], to defeat the said foes. Like his friends, his arsenal of combat abilities is always expanding. Tails' homeland is apparently [[Coco Island]], and it is likely that any of his surviving relatives linger there still.

== Personality ==
Tails is a genuine [[down to Earth]] person on most respects. However, he doesn't [[sugar-coat]] things sometimes, and forgets that sometimes the [[blunt truth]] hurts. As Tails has aged, he has also had trouble containing his romantic feelings. He's developed crushes and tried to pursue romantic relationships with several series [[female]]s, including [[Cream the Rabbit]], [[Cosmo]] and [[Amy Rose]].

Tails doesn't like to sit around and twiddle his thumbs while a crisis is happening. He seems to be a [[workaholic]] as he works intensely on his inventions when not out tearing up Eggman's. Tails has also occasionally been prone to psychotic outbursts due to his [[desire]] to have independence and/or a [[girlfriend]]. Despite these outbursts, Tails is relatively somewhat reserved. He is also slightly immature at times, such as when he is making fun of Sonic for loving Amy.

== Alternate Forms ==
Like his buddies Sonic and [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]], Tails has a couple of alternate forms he can transform into provided the conditions are right. Like the others, most commonly this is induced by a [[Chaos Emerald|certain set of shining gems]] with power levels [[over 9000]]. However, much like Sonic, Tails has other forms that can be activated via other means, such as emotions and [[ray gun]]s.

=== Super Tails ===
Super Tails (known by [[Japan]]ese as ''Super Miles'') is the most [[awesome]] of Tails' alternate forms. It is activated by the presence of both the Chaos Emeralds and the Super Emeralds, although recently, only the Chaos Emeralds have become necessary for the transformation. As Super Tails, Tails can fly farther and faster, is invincible, and has a set of four [[awesomesauce]] Super [[Flicky|Flickies]] that can kill everything at his command, ala [[Cream the Rabbit|Cream]] and [[Cheese the Chao|Cheese]]. Super Tails also flashes A bright goldenrod. Some say that this color is blinding to the eye. The Flickies also flash this color. 

=== "Golden Bubble" Tails ===
This form, not to really be considered a super form, is an alternate form maintained by Sonic's own super transformation. As such, "Golden Bubble" Tails is dependent on him for survival in the form. The bubble seems to do nothing but make him invincible. It is the least awesome of all forms. It was only seen in [[Sonic Heroes]]. 

=== Psycho Tails ===
Psycho Tails is usually induced by Tails' lust for independence and/or a girlfriend. As such, the only way to really turn this form off is to snap Tails to his senses. Tails doesn't really transform physically per-say, but rather, most of the "transformation" is mental. In this frame of mind, Tails often takes drastic, radical, over-dramatic measures to achieve his goals. In one instance, he forces Vanilla to marry him by setting up booby traps within her own house and holds her own family hostage. In another instance, he raised both the age of himself and Amy so they could marry each other legally and bear children. 

However, this form isn't always driven and induced by love. It is occasionally driven by other, more sinister and serious forces. One instance justifying this is in one [[SonicXKingdom Hearts]] cross over, where [[Xehanort's Heartless]] possessed Tails like he possessed [[Riku]] in his original game. In this instance, Sonic had to fight Tails in order to restore his buddy.

Either case seems to be a reference to [[Psycho Cream]].

== Relationships with other characters ==
Tails, being the secondary protagonist of the entire series, has formed many relationships with the characters. Tails' own solo adventures have also helped with this.

=== Sonic ===
Tails is Sonic's best friend, and acts like a kid brother to him. Tails however, unlike Sonic, never actually calls him "brother". Tails will do ''nearly anything'' for his big buddy...well...''anything short of'' homicide or [[suicide]]. Tails, before gaining maturity and independence, lived with Sonic.

=== Knuckles ===
Once rivals, Tails and Knuckles are now great friends. Tails' second closest friendship is probably with him. Tails and Knuckles are also often together. Knuckles greatly supports Tails' strive for independence and romance, sometimes forgetting that he and Tails are still young.

=== Amy ===
As of now, Tails and Amy are okay friends with each other. They aren't on great terms with each other, due to Tails' reservations and Amy's aggressiveness, but they aren't in a bitter hatred either. Once Tails and Amy took advantage of each other and formed a relationship. It was only the intervention of Sonic and friends that separated the two.

=== Cream ===
Tails and Cream are good friends with each other. Tails once had a crush on Cream, but decided that she was too young for him, and acknowledged the couple was too stereotypical for his tastes as well.

=== Chip ===
Tails and Chip are friendly with each other, but secretly Tails is extremely envious and threatened by Chip, because Chip is the first friend of Sonic's since Tails himself to attain as close a friendship he has with Sonic. Tails is paranoid that Chip may even replace him as Sonic's "little brother". Rest assured though, ''it [[NOT|wont]] happen''.

=== Dr. Eggman ===
Tails, like most of the cast, hates Eggman and denounces almost everything he does. Usually when something unusual happens, Tails simultaneously suspicions Eggman and dismisses his own suspicion due to doubts that Eggman could perform such a nasty action.

=== Solo Career ===
Tails has been on a few solo adventures of his own throughout the course of history, and Tails has proven that he can hold his own and protect the Chaos Emeralds without Sonic. However, furthering his solo career is getting less possible as the villains are getting more desperate and powerful, and are teaming up or acquiring new means for power.

;[[Tails' Skypatrol]]
:In this adventure, Tails rescued a [[random]] island from the clutches of [[Wendy Witchcart]] and her posse. He chased Witchcart off with his impressive flying skills and a magical ring.
;[[Tails Adventure]]
:Tails then returned to his homeland, Coco Island, for a little vacation time. However, the Chaos Emeralds decided to vacate there as well, and with them they brought the greedy [[Great Battle Kuku XV]] and his [[Great Battle Kuku Army]]. Tails had to fend off the invaders to protect not only his home-land, but the Chaos Emeralds he had no idea were there. 
;[[Tails and the Music Maker]]
:Not much is known about this short, final chapter in Tails' solo career except that it has something to do with Music. Likely, more than being an actual adventure, Tails was running an [[edutainment]] program on music to teach children about it's importance and awesomeness.

=== Nanny Laura ===
<blockquote>''See also: [[Children (Nanny Laura parts)|Children]].''</blockquote>

In Nanny Laura, Tails stars in his Baby Form as a twin brother of Sonic's character. They both share the same role and fate, which is to help [[Nanny Laura (Nanny Laura part|Nanny Laura]] find the [[Murderer (Nanny Laura part)|Murderer]]. He, like Sonic, eventually ends up being adopted.

=== In other stuff ===
Tails is behind Sonic and tied with Eggman, Shadow, and [[Blaze the Cat]] for the role of second most popular character in the series. While popularity doesn't usually equal merchandise in the Sonic series, Tails has almost as much merchandise as his best buddy. Notably however, like his other pals, it usually seems to be limited to [[Plushies]], Action figures, Key chains and an occasional T-Shirt. Notably, he did have a Spaghetti-O's pasta shaped after him. Unlike Sonic, Tails does not play a very prominant role in [[Super Smash Brothers Brawl]], but does have his own trophy, and cameos on the [[Green Hill Zone]] stage.
