Journal Entry

Kingdom Hearts II

A boy who lives in Twilight Town who has a bit of an attitude problem. Once he gets an idea, he has to LIVE it - and Pence and Olette get dragged along for the ride.

There's bad blood between Hayner and Seifer - the town's self-appointed "disciplinarian."

Story

He is good friends with Pence and Olette, and his group has a rivalry with Seifer's gang.

In Ansem the Wise's Simulated Twilight Town, he was Roxas' best friend. His boredom caused him to suggest that the group take a trip to the beach, prompting DiZ and Riku to intervene, as no virtual beach existed. In the Struggle tournament, he faces Roxas in the first round and loses. Hayner, or at least the virtual Hayner, holds loyalty and promises highly, and seen through his jealousy when he sees Roxas with Seifer and his emphasis on the promise he and Roxas made to share the winnings of the tournament.

In the real Twilight Town he and his friends don't mention Roxas at all, but seem to recognize Sora slightly. Initially, he is somewhat hostile towards Sora, presumably because he, Donald, and Goofy barged in on their usual hangout while exploring Twilight Town upon their release from stasis, and mostly refuses to talk to them because they were busy with other matters at the time. However, he warms up to them and goes to see the trio off at the train station.

Hayner is also a competent fighter and is seen facing off against his rival Seifer in the finals of the Struggle competition during the ending credits. Hayner, headstrong and street smart, along with his friends Pence and Olette helped Sora and the gang out find the way into the virtual Twilight Town. It was a tearful moment for the four of them. It had felt like they knew each other and were never going to see each other again.

Appearance

Hayner is a 15 year old boy who wears camo shoes and pants and has blonde hair.

Personality

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.
