Roxas is born in [[Twilight Town]] and soon discovered by Xemnas, who gives him his name. Axel takes a liking to Roxas, treating him to [[sea-salt ice cream]] on his first day, and with nowhere else to go, Roxas joins the Organization in hopes of finding the answers he needs.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Axel''' | Roxas is born in [[Twilight Town]] and soon discovered by Xemnas, who gives him his name.

Still got it memorized? The day we met, when you got your new name, you and I sat right here, just like this and watched the sunset."</ref> On Roxas's seventh day, Xemnas places Roxas under [[Axel]]'s watch, and the two soon become best friends. During his frequent visits to Twilight Town, Roxas observes three regular kids, Hayner, Pence, and [[Olette]], and wishes to befriend them. | ||
When Axel is sent to [[Castle Oblivion]] to interfere in [[Marluxia]]'s plans to control Sora and overthrow the Organization, Roxas is placed in charge of [[Xion]], the newest member of the Organization and a girl about the same (physical) age as him. Though emotionally distant at first, Xion soon opens up to Roxas, revealing her ability to wield the Keyblade, and the two become close friends. Roxas falls into a coma for several weeks, linked to Sora being placed in suspended animation by [[Naminé]]. After awakening, Roxas attempts to spend time with Axel and Xion. However, he begins experiencing strange dreams and visions, due to Sora's memory restoration. As Roxas spends more time serving the Organization, he begins to question why he wields the Keyblade, and expresses doubt as to the Organization's true motives. | When Axel is sent to [[Castle Oblivion]] to interfere in [[Marluxia]]'s plans to control Sora and overthrow the Organization, Roxas is placed in charge of [[Xion]], the newest member of the Organization and a girl about the same (physical) age as him.

His hair is spiky, as the front concentrates the spikes on the right side of his head as if windswept, while the back is smoother and more flaky. | ||
When in Organization XIII, Roxas wore the usual all-black uniform, with a number of small differences. His pants were different, looking more casual, and loose. He also did not tuck the legs of his pants into his boots like the other members did, though Roxas's "boots" more resembled black versions of his street shoes, and may not have been knee-high like the other members'. Roxas's cloak had a vague resemblance to the ones worn by [[Xigbar]] and [[Demyx]], with slightly pointed shoulders and slightly close-fitting sleeves. | When in Organization XIII, Roxas wore the usual all-black uniform, with a number of small differences.

There may have been variances in our dispositions, but a number of us unquestionably showed signs of a burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can also be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempts to control the mind, and convince it to renounce its sense of self. But understand, one can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation."</ref> Being Sora's other half, his personality is similar to that of his counterpart, with some differences. For example, when Riku confirms that Roxas is Sora's Nobody after they meet in Dark City, Roxas's statement, "What are you talking about? I am me! Nobody else!" is nearly identical to Sora's later reactions when the Organization XIII members address him as Roxas. | ||
Roxas is less impulsive than Sora, but far more quick to anger. He is short-tempered, aggressive, blunt, and stands his ground against his foes. He can be arrogant, confident, and cocky as proven in his battles, more so when he engages Riku in a fight, proclaiming that he could not beat him no matter how many times he attempted to. When blinded with anger, he lets go of all reason and focuses on venting his anger, as seen when he continually hacks at DiZ's computers and viciously attacks DiZ's hologram. He expresses some dislike for being compared to Sora early on due to their relation, which DiZ notes with amusement in their encounter. This type of main contrast between the boys is even portrayed in official art, with Roxas almost always having a dark, sort of fierce expression, while Sora's is a bit more loose and mellow. However, Roxas is shown also to be less ruthless and more merciful to his enemies, as he spares a severely weakened Saïx and tries, albeit harshly, to convince Riku that fighting him is pointless. | Roxas is less impulsive than Sora, but far more quick to anger.

In battle, he also uses light, becoming a phenomenally dangerous foe. His style and level of power is somewhat like Sora's [[Final Form]]. He can glide at fast speeds, so fast in fact that he leaves behind a lens flare, and control thirteen sword-shaped shields of light energy which can connect to form a laser array. He can levitate his Keyblades in the air and whirl and spin them rapidly, showing a great deal of proficiency and skill with the blades, and can also counter any extended combo with a more powerful one of his own, even creating a ring of damage just by twirling them in a circle. | ||
His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick twilight mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands. He often attacks rapidly side-to-side, leaving a trail of light behind him. He can also perform the Duel Bout technique (similar to his Samurai Nobodies) in which he rushes at his opponent and slashes at them repeatedly, causing intense damage if not repelled. During this attack, Sora can knock Roxas into the air and briefly steal his Keyblades. However, when Sora steals Roxas's Keyblades, Roxas resorts to utilizing his light powers to full effect, before moving in to steal his Keyblades back from Sora. | His special attack involves him floating in the air and shooting his thirteen light shields around the arena, which then light it up in a thick twilight mist as Roxas begins shooting blue spheres of light at his opponent from energy gathered in his hands.
