* AscendedExtra: In the [=SonAmy=] comic set in the same universe, Cream the Rabbit was shown briefly in the story [[spoiler: as she was the one who convinced Amy to dance in front of the rebels]]. In the {{Interquel}}, Cream the Rabbit has a much bigger role as [[spoiler: she was the first person to befriend Miles, when Miles leaves his [[HatedHometown village]], after burning it to the ground]].
* AscendedFanboy: What is implied with Miles' interactions with Sonic in the {{Interquel}}.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:Miles]], a few readers were shocked and disturbed by how he makes a better villain than Egg-Man.

* BigBadSlippage: It's implied that [[spoiler:Miles]] would have gone off more insane and sadistic for the past 8 years. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tails_defeat_reference.jpg There is even art]] that shows him yelling an Madness Shout. That he even decides to just [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop off himself with Sonic's help.]]]]

* BigSleep: In the end, [[spoiler:as Miles starts reminiscing about the past, he thinks that it is a shame that he never became a hero and that maybe he could have been friends with Sonic if things were different. Sonic then says that he would have been more than that, [[TrueCompanions he would have become apart of his family.]] Miles then starts to tear up and [[ItHasBeenAnHonor thanks Sonic]] one last time, before he dies soon after.]]

* BigWordShout: After [[spoiler:Miles]] screams to them that [[spoiler:"'''THAT HE WAS HIS ONLY'''"]] right before he makes a pause, to only scream to them the word [[spoiler:"'''FAMILY!'''"]] before he [[spoiler:kills his bullies.]]

* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: [[spoiler:Miles starts establishing these traits after he burns [[HatedHometown his village]] to the ground.

Of course, this goes against Sonic's morality and this causes a falling out between him and Miles.]]
* BlackBlood: Inverted, [[spoiler:Miles]] still bleeds with normal blood, is just that his [[spoiler:Spider Chassis]] device is connected to his spine, which also has some kind of ''Black Liquid'' coursing through them, [[spoiler:and when he gets hit mortally in [[AttackOnTheHeart the heart,]] he loses the ability to use his tendrils, and the whole device in his spine breaks and makes seemingly Black Blood leaking out as the whole pool of it forms beneath Miles.]]
* BlackBugRoom: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles' head starts getting clouded with bad memories, which includes killing the bullies that murdered his [[LivingEmotionalCrutch pet bird]].

** ArtisticLicenseBiology: Although despite being averted by [[spoiler:Miles]]: [[spoiler:If he would have actually went through with it, it would have produced an extreme blood loss from both of his sides, and as a result he would have bled out to death, serving as it's form of AccidentalSuicide. And seeing as Cream would have also arrived in the morning to check up on him, either dead or alive, she would be completely shocked to see Miles without his tails in that state.]]

* BloodbathVillainOrigin: A truly chilling one, upon hitting both the DespairEventHorizon ''AND'' the RageBreakingPoint at practically the same time, the story's BigBad loses it and murders the [[AssholeVictim pair]] of [[GangOfBullies bullies]] responsible in a ''brutal display of primal fury'' before going back to his hated hometown and ''putting it to the torch'' ala [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]].

After Sonic fatally strikes him down, he doesn't have a VillainousBreakdown or say that he is [[YouAreTooLate too late to stop the countdown.]] [[GracefulLoser He just lays there with Sonic, as they both stare at a clock that is ticking away the countdown for the destruction of the city.]] Miles then reveals to Sonic that [[AllForNothing nothing will happen when the countdown ends,]] as it was just his time left on the planet that is running out. He gets a last heart to heart conversation with Sonic, as he lays dying on the ground.]]
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Miles' life without Sonic's presence is tough, as the villagers in his HatedHometown antagonize him for his traits and appearance, while there is no one to support him at home, as it takes two years of this life and suffering to transform him into a tired, broken mess.

** Sonic mourns [[spoiler:Miles' death on-screen, calling him Tails,]] as if [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness he subconsciously knew of the canon timeline and how things shouldn't be this way.]]
*** But he just already knew [[spoiler:Miles']] nickname as shown in the {{Interquel}}, he just wasn't saying it because he didn't thought that [[spoiler:Miles]] deserved to be called by his nickname, as things were way too serious to call him by that nickname.

* AntiHero: Miles ''tries'' to become a hero, but [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption it doesn't work out.]] [[spoiler: This is [[HeroWithAnFInGood because, while his intentions were genuine,]] Miles's [[MurderIsTheBestSolution "methods"]] of [[PayEvilUntoEvil dealing with Egg-Man]] didn't agree with Sonic's [[ThouShallNotKill morals]].]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:[[BigBad Miles]]]] is a type [[spoiler:1]] and 2. Type 2 because of his tragic past of having never been loved and [[spoiler: type 1 because he sets his own [[KillerRobot robot army]] to deactivate when the countdown reaches zero.]]

* TheQuietOne: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles acts this way when he meets Cream, she even says that he is kind of quiet, he soon breaks this act after refering to her for the first time, with an request to "Borrow her knife" for an creation of a wooden umbrella with leaves.]]
* TroubledFetalPosition: In the {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles]] is shown to be laying down on the ground in the first pages of the comic, with the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Troubled Fetal Position]].

She returns back and brings more supplies to him, still hiding who he is, he at first tries to deny this aid, but seeing that she have also brought a toolbox with her, he reconsiders it, and reveals that his name is "''[[spoiler:Tails.]]''" Then after she tells him where she is from and the group of Freedom Fighters, "''[[spoiler:Tails]]''" suggests her to help him with the shelter since she came here to help, she accepts the offer, and they get treated to GoodTimesMontage paired with ATeamMontage of them building the shelter, as he is no longer acting that cold when he meet her anymore.

Both of them even have cybernetic limbs installed on their backs-- [[spoiler:Miles]] has spider legs while Nine has seven extra tails.
** And also, in the game ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2'' (the game in which [[spoiler:Miles]] originally first meant to appear chronologically.), it was planned to feature the level '''Genocide City''' then it got renamed to '''Cyber City''' and finally it got [[DummiedOut scrapped]] completely, as [[spoiler:Miles]] basically transforms the whole city in the Original, as his own version of '''Genocide City.'''

[[caption-width-right:350:Our [[spoiler:VillainProtagonist.]] ]]

Do not be confused with the [[TheProtagonist Tails]] being Nine from WesternAnimation/SonicPrime as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything they both are similar, yet different on a new level.]]

** CreatorCameo: Mercy the Goat ([=MercyBhk=]'s AuthorAvatar) appears as the narrator of this story. [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Oddly, she appears only two times in the entire series]], (The Original and SonAmy's Interquel.) as she is never even seen or mentioned again afterwards in the WWMH's Prequel.

* ArtShift: The artwork in the {{Interquel}} is a bit more detailed and smoother than the artwork in the original story. [[spoiler:[[quoteright:438:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/original_and_prequel.png Image]] Comparision between Original and {{Interquel}}.]]
* AscendedExtra: In the Sonamy comic set in the same universe, Cream the Rabbit was shown briefly in the story [[spoiler: as she was the one who convinced Amy to dance in front of the rebels]]. In the {{Interquel}}, Cream the Rabbit has a much bigger role as [[spoiler: she was the first person to befriend Miles, when Miles leaves his [[HatedHometown village]], after burning it to the ground]].

* BigBadSlippage: Implied, that [[spoiler:Miles]] would have gone off more insane and sadistic for the past 8 years, there is even an art that shows him yelling an Madness Shout. That he even decides to just [[spoiler:[[SuicideByCop off himself with Sonic's help.]]]] [[spoiler:Image.[[quoteright:474:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tails_defeat_reference.jpg]]Losing his mind.]]

** In the {{SonAmy}} {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles]] is seen holding an rabbit cup in his hand, presumed former Cream's gift that he is still in possesion of.

* ItsAllJunk: After [[spoiler:Miles]] kills his [[spoiler:Bullies.]] He then picks up his dropped [[spoiler:bloody]] metal pipe, and makes his way to the village. (Probably in case he has to defend himself, since he [[spoiler:literally still was bloody from head to toe]]) and then after he [[spoiler:torches it,]] while trying to walk away from [[spoiler:the carnage]], [[spoiler:Miles]] drops his metal pipe on the ground, after feeling dizzy, he then proceeds to [[VomitDiscretionShot vomit away into an bush,]] and decides to [[spoiler:wash off his bloody appearence]] as he gets ready for the next part of his plan. The metal pipe he dropped is never seen, as it's implied that he left it behind or forgot about it, seemingly unimportant as he never putted it to good use when [[spoiler:torching the village.]]

-->[[spoiler: Miles : "''I'M A GODDAMN GENIUS!''" - A picture that depicts him saying this.[[quoteright:474:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_psbhcmc0fp1y0ywdeo1_1280.jpg]]]]
* InformedSpecies: [[spoiler:Miles was born with an additional tail attached to his body, that made him a subject of bullying for looking different than being a normal fox.]]

* ImAHumanitarian: Implied, as in one [[https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e2/db/45/e2db45f6065efbb7ac2bc47ddf727b05.jpg art.]] It shows Miles interacting with Cream, saying that he likes rabbits, this makes Cream blush until Miles also brings up that he also likes RABBIT MEAT, with an SlasherSmile expression having saliva dropping from his mouth, which then makes Cream say "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Oh hell no.]]"

* ItsAllAboutMe: "Where Was My Hero...?" comic is all centered on Miles.

* IronicName: [[spoiler:Miles gets his nickname "Tails" after looking at his both Tails's, and also due to an Panic Attack he had earlier, that tried to pressure him to cut them both out. It then [[MadnessMantra kept repeating the word Tails over and over again,]] refering to him as not Miles but as "Tails". And so he picked it as his alias when Cream probbed him for it.]] [[spoiler:Also as he seems to be presumed dead and is missing, he purposefully does this as a MeaningfulRename to hide the fact that was part of a village that mysteriously went up in flames.]]

* MadnessMantra: In the {{Interquel}}: During the DarkestHour, [[spoiler:Miles]] is being pressured into cutting his [[spoiler:both tails,]] while it repeats the same word tails, over and over.

* WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler:Image.[[quoteright:411:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/will_not_be_slowed_down.jpg]]"I'm not going to ''slow'' you down Sonic, you will feel ''slow.'']]

* WillTheyOrWontThey: Being it [[spoiler:Miles']] and [[spoiler:Cream's]] (implied) romantic relationship, as they claim to become really good friends, and how far they would go to be past the ''Really Good?'' No one knows, as is CutShort. Although in one art made by Mercy, he is shown hugging her in a field of flowers, while still having his non-coloured faded shoes on. [[spoiler:Image.[[quoteright:474:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hug_out_of_nowhere.jpeg]]When you least expect it.]]
* WithholdingTheirName: While [[spoiler:Miles]] is in an upside-down flying air-borne position, he is being asked by [[spoiler:Sonic]] for his name, which he refuses to, seeing that the situation is not appropriate, Sonic just notes that it must be uncomfortable for him.
** He is also hiding his true name from [[spoiler:Cream.]]

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In one of the arts, [[spoiler:Cream]] is seen supporting crying [[spoiler:Miles]] while she is saying that he can't see how amazing he truly is. [[spoiler:Image in question.[[quoteright:811:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/how_amazing_he_is.jpeg]]]]
* YoungConqueror: [[spoiler:Miles]] is 18 years old, but that doesn't stop him from creating an army of [[KillerRobot Killer Robots]] to cause havoc on the whole planet Mobius, he also says that he will nuke the city, which no one doubts him in.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maxresdefault_3836.jpg]]

In the {{SonAmy}} {{Interquel}}: [[spoiler:Miles]] is seen holding an rabbit cup in his hand, presumed former Cream's gift that he is still in possesion of.

** One moment gets added up to the {{Interquel}}.

* AnAesop: If there is even one to begin with, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yemP_n_YenM&google_comment_id=Ugyw5ylqNcRfhe9Kx_B4AaABAg one of the comments under one of dubbed videos]] says, "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" being literal.

Also check out WebAnimation/SonicEpilogue for an inversed version of the tale.

And also WebAnimation/TheTailsGhost for an HeroicSacrifice version.

* RevengeIsSweet: [[spoiler:After taking out his instant revenge on his bullies]], he says in the {{Interquel}} that he [[IRegretNothing doesn't regret it one bit.]]

* TheStoic: [[spoiler:Miles,]] after Two TimeSkips, that probably messed him up significally, he is now immune to any threats, and is not messing around if he has to kill you.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:What happens with Miles, after two TimeSkips, is never explained, except in one part of an {{Interquel}}, along with the end of Miles' fight with Sonic. As Miles' robots are shut down, maybe the buses would have been called back to rebuild the once fallen city, but Sonic's HeroicBSOD moment would be hard to explain to others...]]
