This piece was done a few months ago, I think.
I remember talking about how I always thought Tails was a girl when I was first playing Sonic. At the time there really weren't a lot of female characters to identify with. The first game I recall letting me play as a girl was pokemon Crystal which was kinda lame for me.
Anyways, I prefer female Tails. And yes, I am aware that Tails is male (since a lot of people asked me if I still think Tails is female).
