Hayner

In Ansem the Wise's Simulated Twilight Town, Hayner (ハイネ, Haine?) is a 15 year old boy who was Roxas' best friend. He is voiced by Justin Cowden in the English version and Kazunori Sasaki in the Japanese version. Hayner, headstrong and street smart, and his friends Pence and Olette helped Sora and the gang out find the way to the virtual Twilight Town. He wears camo shoes and pants and has blonde hair. Hayner is impulsive and determined, and is always looking for a new adventure. He is bold to the point of recklessness, once even charging Axel unarmed. He gets bored easily during uneventful times, as demonstrated when he constantly pesters his friends to do something during their summer vacation. In the real Twilight Town he and his friends don't recognize Roxas at all, but seem to recognize Sora slightly. Hayner is also a competent fighter, though Roxas is better, and is seen facing off against his rival Seifer in the finals of the Struggle competition during the ending credits.

Hayner appears to be an overturned version of Zell Dintch from FVIII. He has very similar hair, similar clothes, and almost the exact same attitude/personality. Alternatively, the trio recall Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie, from Final Fantasy VII.
