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 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 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 females, 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, 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 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 guns.
Super Tails
Super Tails (known by Japanese 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 Flickies that can kill everything at his command, ala Cream and 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.
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 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.
