This is Tails from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon from 1993. Tails is youthful, innocent, sweet, polite, heroic and friendly. He appears to be slightly gullible and naïve, sometimes getting tricked into being caught by villains. Like Sonic, his favorite food is chili dogs, but apparently Tails likes extra cheese on his. He is usually the one that discovers a way out of situations that look bad, but due to his young age, he occasionally gets into bad situations himself. While Tails has proven himself indeed useful to Sonic in many situations (and times where Sonic wouldn't be alive thanks to him), he has proven in many situations been a hindrance. Tails is very young and with him being very naïve and lacking defending skills, he's be a very open target of FREQUENT kidnappings. As Robotnik and his badniks constantly kidnap him to use him as a bait for Sonic. Sonic appears to be of this flaw and does his best to protect him, though his protecting ways are sometimes the big reason why Tails gets captured in the first place. But that doesn't stop him from saving the innocent with Sonic.
