==Personality== [[File:Sonic Jam.png|thumb|left|225px|Tails' profile, from ''[[Sonic Jam]]''.]] Tails can be described as a gentle, sweet, kind and loyal fox with a good and positive attitude.<ref name="SAM" /><ref name="CharacterIntroduction">{{Cite web |author=ZedArchive |date=10 April 2022 |title=Sonic Adventure Production Presentation At Tokyo International Forum (1998) <nowiki>[ENGLISH CC]</nowiki> |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68S3GswZ06U&t=21m21s |language=Japanese |work=YouTube |accessdate=7 October 2022}}</ref><ref name="AdventureTokyoInternational">{{Cite book |title=Sonic Adventure Tokyo International Forum Unveiling Booklet |date=22 August 1998 |chapter=All Star Cast |page=7}}</ref><ref name="SmashWiiUOProfile">Bandai Namco, Sora Ltd.

Instead, he is always ready and willing to help others without asking for anything in return. Unlike Sonic, who is constantly hyperactive, Tails is somewhat calmer and more controlled. He has a passion for mechanics, and he finds himself most at home in [[Tails' Lab|his workshop]] working on his next creation.<ref>{{Cite book |date = 6 September 2013 |title = [[The History of Sonic the Hedgehog]] |publisher = Les Editions Pix'n Love |page = 225 |chapter = Characters |isbn = 978-1-926778-96-9}}</ref> Despite his great skills, he is very humble about his abilities and has not realized how useful his scientific skills are yet.<ref name="SH">''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' ([[PlayStation 2]]) United States instruction booklet, pg. 8.</ref><ref name="StickerCollection">{{Cite book |title=[[Sonic the Hedgehog Sticker Collection]] |publisher=Factory Entertainment |page=6 |chapter=Miles 'Tails' Prower |date=2010}}</ref> Because of this, he sometimes underestimates how much his inventions have helped his friends, and as such, he has yet to discover the true potential of what he can accomplish.<ref name="StickerCollection" /><ref name="SegaUS" /> Due to having hung out with Sonic for so long, the fox has become somewhat smug like his best friend over time;<ref name="TailsTube3">{{Cite web |author=Sonic the Hedgehog |date=22 September 2022 |title=TailsTube #3 (feat.

In contrast, he has been known to insult [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] and his creations.

The ''status quo'' of his relationship with Sonic, created from the hedgehog's authority over him, initially placed a mental stranglehold on Tails that made him dependent on Sonic. As such, he often lacked initiative and confidence when alone. However, a turning point for Tails came during the [[Chaos]] [[Sonic Adventure|incident]]; when [[Station Square]] was in danger of being destroyed, and with Sonic nowhere to be found, Tails realized that he could not depend on Sonic forever and had to try on his own. After saving Station Square, Tails realized he could be independent and support himself without Sonic, and all he needed was determination and faith. Since then, Tails has become more independent, self-confident, motivated and brave, rising up to be a real hero when needed. Despite his insecurity in times of weakness, Tails is always willing to support his friends with a clear mind. He constantly tries his hardest to help in some way, typically by making machines or other devices. Additionally, he hopes to one day be self-sufficient and independent like Sonic to prove he can be relied upon.<ref name="SegaUS">{{Cite web|author=[[Sega/Sega of America|Sega of America]]|publisher=[[Sega]]|url=http://www.sega.com/sonic/globalsonic/post_allabout.php?article=soniccharacters|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050305082053/http://www.sega.com:80/sonic/globalsonic/post_allabout.php?article=soniccharacters|accessdate=26 October 2017|work=Sonic Characters|archivedate=5 March 2005|title=Miles "Tails" Prower|quote=Tails is a young fox that has a knack for building things. He's as talented as Dr. Eggman, but has yet to discover the true potential of what he really can accomplish. Sonic has taken Tails under his wing and treats him like a younger brother. Tails wants to prove to Sonic that he's someone to be counted on. Besides his ability to fly using his twin tails, he has become an experienced pilot with the 'Tornado,' a plane that Sonic helped him build. Tails' fearless character and natural talent with mechanical devices come in handy to help Sonic out of danger.}}</ref> Also, even though Tails still enjoys being Sonic's sidekick, he believes that he can do almost anything if he puts his mind to it. [[File:Tails profile SG.png|thumb|225px|Tails' profile, from the [[Xbox 360]] version of ''[[Sonic Generations]]''.]] During their earlier adventures together, Tails strove to become just like Sonic by replicating the mannerisms he found admirable. In this period, Tails was content with being Sonic's sidekick as he was just happy to hang out with Sonic. As Tails grew as a person, he would still remain as close to Sonic as ever and look up to him as he has always done, but his esteem about Sonic's heroics have dwindled, as these days he cares more about inventing than Sonic's heroic deeds. Despite his intelligence and general fearlessness, Tails can be naive and big-mouthed, such as during the [[Space Colony ARK]] [[Sonic Adventure 2|incident]], when he accidentally confirmed Eggman's suspicions that the Chaos Emerald that Sonic had was a fake, thus ruining the heroes' plans. He has a tendency to talk technobabble, much to the irritation of his friends, showing that he does not always use tact in a situational matter. Nevertheless, Tails is supportive of his friends, willing to be by their side no matter how dangerous the situation might be, and will do whatever it takes to help them, even if it means sacrificing himself for them. In the IDW Comics, His personality is similar to how he acts in the games who has a pure and courageous heart.<ref>[[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 1|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #1]], "Fallout, Part 1"</ref> Although he has been persecuted in the past for his dissimilarities, Tails would over time find the right friends to give him support, which in turn gave him confidence. Loyal and trustworthy,<ref># [[IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 50|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' #50]], "Battle for the Empire"</ref> he can be counted on to stand firmly by the side of his friends and help them out however he can. While still young, Tails has time and again proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with despite his inconspicuous appearance, especially with his high intellect. As a result of being practically raised by [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] though, Tails has been known to carry out his plans without warning or a heads-up. Despite this, he still uses his abilities and talents to carefully prepare himself and his friends for various situations if he is not entirely sure about what they will be facing. He is likewise very friendly and tries his best to approach others with a kind-hearted attitude, even towards enemies whom he does not know very well. Tails often tries to stay optimistic. However, he is very sensitive, and when severely stressed out or under intense pressure, Tails can become quite nervous and fearful, which renders him unable to properly cope or do anything about the situation at hand. However, even in the worst of situations, he does not give up and shows a strong will to survive. Much like [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]], Tails has an affinity for personalizing his belongings in his likeness, with his house in [[Emerald Town]] resembling his head, and the [[Miles Electric]] being named after himself.
