Miles Prower, also known as Tails, is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Tom Wachowski) of the Sonic Cinematic Universe.
He is an anthropomorphic yellow-orange fox who can fly with his two tails and quickly becomes Sonic's companion and sidekick. He was shunned on his own planet for his two tails being seen as weird and was left lonely, but was inspired by Sonic after seeing his bravery in fighting Dr. Robotnik and joins up with Sonic after learning Knuckles is hunting him down. He is the film's adaptation of Tails from the video game franchise.
He is voiced and motion-captured by Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who also currently voices his mainstream counterpart, Charmy Bee, Sora Takenouchi, Jazz Fenton, Wasp, Jody Irwin, Ino Yamanaka, and Emile Agreste. In Sonic Drone Home, he was voiced by Alicyn Packard, who also voices Jibanyan, Toodles Galore, Windblade, Neon Red and Hinaichi.
Biography[]
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)[]
Tails appears on Earth somewhere near Green Hills at the end of the film. He has apparently been tracking Sonic the Hedgehog using a handheld device and hopes he is not too late to warn him about an approaching threat.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)[]
Tails arrives on Earth and attempts to track down Sonic after picking up his signal on his Miles Electric. After arriving in Green Hills shortly after nightfall, he decides to find transportation to avoid revealing himself, and chooses Green Hills Deputy Sheriff Wade Whipple's Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor patrol cruiser as his vehicle. He later uses it to save Sonic when he is attacked by Knuckles the Echidna and Dr. Robotnik, driving the two of them to safety while explaining the situation about why Knuckles is after Sonic, revealing that Knuckles believes that Sonic, as Longclaw's protégé, has knowledge of the whereabouts of the Master Emerald. Knuckles soon catches up and begins tearing the cruiser apart, but Tails drives it off a cliff, forcing Knuckles to dig into the cliff face to save himself while the cruiser crashes and explodes on the ground below, while Tails airlifts Sonic to safety and escapes, taking refuge at Wade's house.
While at Wade's house, Tails is with Sonic as he discovers a final holographic message from Longclaw in his map, which entrusts her duty with safeguarding the Master Emerald to him and offering her final belief and wishes that he will succeed and make her proud before the message vanishes, and Sonic's map has changed to show the way to the compass that will lead to the Master Emerald. Despite Tails' hesitance, he agrees to aid Sonic, and they head to Siberia to find the compass. Taking refuge at a Siberian restaurant, despite the cold, hostile welcome from the Russian patrons inside, Sonic and Tails take some time to talk, with Tails revealing that when Sonic unleashed his chaos energy at the baseball field previously, this helped Tails locate him so he could help him.
However, things go south when Tails' Miles Electric accidentally mistranslates what Sonic and Tails say from English to Russian, angering the patrons, who threaten to throw them into the fireplace after exposing them, before Tails calls out the Russian word for a dance-off in desperation to save his and Sonic's lives. Hearing the word, the patrons hesitate, and agree to let Sonic and Tails face the local champ for a chance to be spared being incinerated. Despite having some trouble at first, Sonic and Tails are able to use their smarts and tech to not only beat the champ and win, but gain the respect of the patrons as well, who grant them quarters for the night at the tavern. That night, Tails ask Sonic if he really thinks of him as his pal, to which Sonic says that he does. Touched by his words, Tails hugs him and reveals that growing up wasn't easy for him because everyone in his village thought that his twin tails were weird, but Sonic has shown him that being weird isn't so bad. Sonic and Tails go to sleep by the fireplace, their friendship having grown into somewhat of a brotherly bond.
The next day, they head to the ancient owl temple where the compass is held. No sooner has Sonic solved the puzzle and they get the compass, they are confronted by Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik, with an army of Badniks with them. Tails escapes separately from Sonic, but returns to help him against Knuckles when he had Sonic cornered on a cliff, though Tails' intervention causes Knuckles to believe Sonic deceived him as Sonic had just revealed that he and Knuckles lost everything on that fateful day when the echidnas attacked Sonic and Longclaw, causing Knuckles to think he had found a kindred spirit in Sonic before Tails interrupted them. Sonic tries to give Tails the compass, but Dr. Robotnik intercepts it, before wounding Tails with a missile, which triggers an avalanche, forcing Sonic to save Tails instead of getting the compass back.
With the avalanche bearing down on them, Sonic called Tom to have him open an escape ring portal to Hawaii, allowing Sonic and Tails to survive, but Tails is still unconscious. Moments later, Sonic is captured by Commander Walters and his Guardian Units of Nations undercover agents, who take him, Tails, and Tom into custody. However, they are rescued by Maddie Wachowski, but Tails is still in bad shape. Feeling responsible for nearly getting Tails killed, Sonic refuses any help as he heads to stop Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik from getting the Master Emerald alone. Tails recovers and tries to follow, but is still too wounded to help. He later arrives in the Tornado to pick up Sonic and Knuckles after he recovers fully, but after Dr. Robotnik had already escaped with the Master Emerald.
Taking everyone back to Green Hills, they arrive just as Dr. Robotnik finishes building the Giant Eggman Robot using his newfound powers from the Master Emerald. Tails tries to engage the robot with the Tornado, blasting its heavy armor with machineguns he installed in the plane, but Agent Stone mortally wounds the Tornado with the robot's "Stache Smasher", forcing Tails to bail out before the Tornado crashes to the ground, completely destroyed. Working out a plan with Sonic and Knuckles, Tails is able to initially fool Dr. Robotnik with doubles of himself as he infiltrated the robot's head, allowing Knuckles to punch the Master Emerald out of Dr. Robotnik, powering down the robot, but causing Tails and Knuckles to fall out.
When they recover, they watch helplessly as the robot, now running on auxiliary power, appears to crush Tom, Maddie, and Sonic underfoot. However, Sonic had absorbed the Chaos Emeralds beforehand, allowing him to become Super Sonic, saving Tom and Maddie, and taking down the Giant Eggman Robot all on his own. After proving he's still himself and in full control of his super state, Sonic releases the Chaos Emeralds and scatters them to unknown locations, explaining to a concerned Tails that he still needs to do some growing up before he can wield their power again.
After Knuckles reforms the Master Emerald, he agrees to form a team with Sonic and Tails to guard it, sharing a power-bump with them to seal the deal. After that, Tails and Knuckles move in with Sonic and the Wachowskis, becoming like brothers to Sonic.
Knuckles[]
A few months later, after moving into the Wachowski Residence with Sonic and Knuckles, Tails tries to help Sonic and Maddie of getting Knuckles adjusted to his new life on Earth. He and Sonic went outside and sees that Knuckles attacked another construction crew after a mistaking them for attacking the house. Concerned about this, Tails wondered if the hole in the living room is ever going to get fixed, noting that the room is getting cold at night. Once getting on to the roof with Sonic, Tails beckoned Ozzie the dog to follow him back downstairs as Sonic has his talk with Knuckles.
The next morning, while coming to get breakfast, Tails and Sonic sees that Knuckles modified the living room to a gladiator pit. This results Knuckles into getting ground for his actions, although he's not familiar with it. Tails, Sonic, and Maddie clarified it for him. After Knuckles left to the attic, Maddie realizes that she's going to be late for work and Tails informed her that Knuckles used parts of their car for the throne.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Official Movie Pre-Quill[]
In the official prequel comic to the 2022 film Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Tails arrives on Sonic's home planet in hopes of learning about the hedgehog's whereabouts. He stops by Longclaw's old house and scans the area with his handheld device to record a reading of Sonic's energy signature. Upon obtaining the signature, Tails uses it to narrow down Sonic's location to just a few planets before he opens a Ring Portal to a world with strong energy readings.
Unfortunately, Tails soon realizes that he is not on the correct planet and discovers that someone was following him by tracking his signal. He decides to accelerate his search in a attempt to lose his pursuer before he is left with only two worlds to choose from. One was a uninhabited mushroom planet and the other was a planet called Earth. Fearful that his pursuer was catching up, Tails quickly makes a choice and disappears through a Gold Ring as another portal opens up behind him.
Appearance[]
Tails' appearance is mostly similar to that of his video game counterpart, being a young, anthropomorphic fox with a unique genetic mutation giving him two tails instead of one. He possesses mostly amber fur with white fur around his muzzle with cheek tufts, front torso with fluffy fur on top of his chest, 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.
Personality[]
Tails is a highly intelligent, sweet, kind, and loyal fox who is Sonic's best friend. He is very good at inventing things, as shown by the multiple contraptions in his backpack. He seems to know what human life is like even though he is from another planet, as when he arrives on Earth for the first time, he knows exactly what a car is in the sense that it is used as transportation. He also seems to show little to no fear in dire situations, as shown when he is fighting against Dr. Robotnik and standing up to Knuckles.

The fastest creature in the galaxy. You were weird, too. But you were a legend. That made me think maybe being weird isn't so bad. You inspired me; to leave my village; to find you and help you in your mission. Sonic: I'm really glad you're here, Tails. Tails: I'm glad I'm here too, Sonic. |

Trivia[]
- At the post credits scene of the first film, only one of his tails were visible (its possible he fluffed them into one) and he did not wear a backpack, and his shoes also don't have any laces (just like his game counterpart), however in the reanimated version of the scene in the second film both of his tails are actually visible and he bears a backpack and his shoes are given laces and a brighter shade of red. Its unknown why his shoes were given some slight redesign.
- Much like Sonic's the identity of his biological family is currently unknown.
- Tails is the only character in the Sonic the Hedgehog film to be portrayed by the same English, Japanese, and French voice actors as his video game counterpart, though Colleen O'Shaughnessey was initially uncredited in the English version.
- O'Shaughnessey was later credited in the digital version of the film, albeit with her name spelled incorrectly.
- Colleen O'Shaughnessey previously voiced Tails in Sonic Boom, both the show & the video games.
- In Italian, Tails shares this distinction with Sonic.
- Tails can be seen as the polar opposite and foil to Dr. Robotnik - both are geniuses who were bullied and ostracized in their childhood, and both know Sonic very well. Though whereas Tails never gives up of trying to have new friends and is a sweet-natured and selfless fox who always remains loyal to his friends, Dr. Robotnik rejects humanity altogether, becoming a selfish and misanthropic megalomaniac who is willing to betray even his closest friends and allies (except for Agent Stone, but even then, he doesn't treat the latter very well), and who considers everyone else around him as inferior and basic. Also, whereas Tails idolizes Sonic, Dr. Robotnik despises him.
- Before Colleen O'Shaughnessey was cast to reprise her voice role as Tails in the film, Katy Perry, Chlöe Grace Moretz, Anna Faris, Jacob Tremblay, and even Tom Holland was rumored to voice him.
- In the first film of Sonic the Hedgehog, most fans were disappointed because Tails or neither of Sonic's friends didn't appear for a large role after having grown attach for Tails. Especially it proves them right when during the baseball incident Sonic seem lonely without any friends to hang out with.
- It is possibly because the director wanted to focus on Sonic and Tom Wachowski's first before introducing Tails, especially believing it was based on the first Sonic video game which Tails wasn't featured in due to not having been conceived as a character yet.
- As now living with the Wachowski family, he's like a youngest brother towards Sonic and Knuckles.
- Pat Casey claimed in a podcast interview that he is uncertain weather he comes from the same planet (Mobius) as both Sonic and Knuckles, or if that he hails from an entirely different one.
