Tails (known as Weeping Fox, TAIL$, and King Hysteria in each act of the story) is the main anti-hero of the upcoming album trilogy Storybook by Pananomi. He was originally the Tails seen in every Sonic.exe game, before he eventually escaped into a "dysfunctional" alternative version of the classic Sonic games, and went crazy on his own accord.
From Prey to Predator[]
One of the in-game victims created by X to lure in players to trap and torment them for eternity, Tails is the most commonly picked victims to be killed off. Nobody cares about how he feels over this, as they always gawk over the new exe, retake, or both.
Being created from dark magic and/or energy, Tails always had a crazed murderous side to him, albeit suppressed behind the frightened and sensitive cry baby most commonly seen in all Sonic.exe games and/or retakes.
Secretly, he is the smartest victim, being able to escape all exes at some point in the EP and eventually murders X with ease due to them knowing all his weak spots.
Personality[]
In Fairy Tale, Weeping Fox is described to be a child with a mature mind of an adult. Over time, he learns more about the world and more "adult" concepts (alcohol, murder, drugs, sex, etc.) He is shown to be soft, sensitive, and a crybaby, but later on he grows comfortable in his own skin and accepts himself for being crazy and unaccepted.
Biography[]
Sonic.exe (and Rewrite Games)[]
Before the events of Fairy Tale, Tails was the same little fox murdered and restored in every Sonic.exe game. They would often spawn or appear in HILL ACT 1, and would die in HIDE AND SEEK in varied ways.
In the story, X created Tails and the other in-game victims to help X lure players in his world to trap and torment them for eternity. Their statuses as "victims" are made up purely as bait. Tails is given the fake name "Alan" by 2011X, and said fake name is the most commonly associated with him. He hates the name with a burning passion.
Storybook Trilogy[]
Fairy Tale[]
Tails, given the mocking nickname Weeping Fox, grows increasingly bored over time and attempts to have his own fun inside X's world. After failing to have any type of fun, Weeping Fox leaves and tries to connect with a dysfunctional version of Sonic in another world. At some point, X kidnaps a now 10 year old Weeping Fox and brings him back to his world. However, Weeping Fox lets out his hidden crazy side which has been fueled for so long, and murders X through food poisoning. After escaping, Weeping Fox kills both Knuckles and Sonic. Weeping Fox eventually rejects the idea of wanting to stay sane, as he genuinely enjoys being utterly insane.
Raising Hell[]
Weeping Fox acknowledges being a "tragedy", but doesn't let that get to the best of him. He is now 13 and just wants to live life to the fullest, at least while it lasts.
Salvation + Maneater[]
Now a bratty teenager without a single ounce of a care in the world, TAIL$ celebrates his current lifespan by going out, getting drunk, and partying wildly. A total "party animal", TAIL$ is totally unserious and all around having the best time of his life in this record. He also lets out his freakishly animalistic side and even proudly titles himself a "maneater" after feasting on several unnamed entities of different kinds.
