He's 8. He is a mechanical genius and comes in handy when needed. His best friend is Sonic the Hedgehog, he's looks up to him. Tails is a yellow fox with two-tails and he can use them to fly. Tails has his own plane called the Tornado and he takes it for spins or uses it in battle against Eggman. Tails was bullied as a little kid for having two tails, but he was set free by Sonic. Tails sometimes gets so caught up in his smarts that he forgets how others feel. Tails can doubt himself and cower.
