Miles Prower (マイルス・パウアー Mairusu Pauā?), better known as Tails (テイルス Teirusu?), is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is an anthropomorphic two-tailed fox cub and Sonic's best friend and sidekick who was born on West Side Island. He can use his tails like helicopter rotors to fly and has a remarkable IQ with excellent mechanical engineering skills. Since they met, Tails has accompanied Sonic in his adventures to thwart their nemesis, Dr. Eggman. Tails is loyal, kind, and curious. In his early years, he was frequently bullied for his twin tails. His life took a positive turn when he met Sonic, forming an unbreakable bond with him. This relationship has made him more confident, growing into a more outgoing, brave, independent individual who strives to become a hero in his own right. Tails is an anthropomorphic fox cub with two tails. He possesses mostly amber fur with white countershading around his muzzle with cheek tufts, belly and the tips of his tails. He also has large triangular ears with white canals on top of his head, a small black nose and three locks of hair on his forehead. For attire, he wears cuffed white gloves, white socks and red shoes with white tips. Tails' original design, most notably Classic Tails, has a roughly round torso, short limbs and black eyes. Classic Tails is 60 centimeters (2 ft 0 in) tall and weighs 15 kilograms (33 lb),[21][note 1] while Modern Tails' height is 80 centimeters (2 ft 7 in) and his weight 20 kilograms (44 lb).[4] His fur was often portrayed inconsistently in the 1990s, ranging from orange to yellow to brown. His modern design gives him taller proportions, a more rectangular torso, blue eyes, and consistently amber fur.
