His name's a pun—Miles Prower, get it?—riffing on "miles per hour" to nail that speed obsession the Sonic games are known for. He's a golden-yellow fox kid with two tails, which is where the nickname comes from. The dual tails aren't just for show either; he can spin them like helicopter blades to briefly lift himself off the ground, which comes in handy.
Tails first showed up in October 1992 in the 8-bit version of Sonic 2, with the 16-bit port following a month later. He's clearly got Sonic as his role model—basically sees him as an older brother and wants to be just like him. But where Sonic's all confidence and speed, Tails tends to think things through more carefully. He's not always sure of himself, and he hasn't got nearly the experience yet, but what he lacks in swagger he makes up for with tech skills and a logical head. When it counts, he uses those smarts to turn situations around.
