Tails is an adventurous, sweet-natured and loyal fox with a positive attitude. In the beginning, he was timid and quiet and originally hated his tails, but since the South Island Incident and Meeting Sonic, he has opened up and become more outgoing over the years and learned to appreciate and love his tails, especially since they have come in handy during close calls . Tails is not one to grab the spotlight for himself and instead, is always ready and willing to help others without asking for anything in return. Tails has a distinct love for mechanics and he finds himself most home in his workshop on South Island working on his next creation. Despite his great skills, Tails is very humble about his abilities, never giving them many thoughts, though he has yet to discover his true potential of what he can accomplish. When young, Tails often lacked self-confidence and courage. After meeting Sonic and gaining his support, Tails gained more confidence and belief in himself. And while he isn't the bravest Freedom Fighter, he has become more outgoing since he has met Sonic, becoming the hero when need be. Regardless, Tails hopes to one day be self-sufficient, and not constantly rely on others, and be just as independent as Sonic.
