Character Information:
Roxas at The Keyhole

Personality:

Roxas is a special Nobody. Not only can he wield the keyblade, but he appears to have actual emotions and feelings, much like someone with an actual heart. He should be emotionless, however aside from his humble beginning, once he awoke from his coma, he began to have a lot of feelings. Fear, anxiety, anger, confusion, happiness and camaraderie. Most notably perhaps, is when Xion disappeared, leaving to join Sora, tears spilled from Roxas' eyes, much stronger emotions than Nobodies should be able to feel. He also took on what she asked, with great determination to go find Sora himself, and made his goal ultimately to destroy Kingdom Hearts. He also felt betrayed by Axel when he found out that he was keeping things from him. This anger and hurt feelings led to him leaving the Organization. While the other Nobodies have their own personalities, their emotions aren't as deeply felt, and as Axel hypothesized, their emotions were more memories of how they used to feel when they were human. Roxas, since he didn't have any memories from being Sora, he could not possibly remember these feelings, and therefore must have been feeling them.

He appears to be gentle-hearted and generally caring when coming in contact with other people. He looks after the regular kids in the town, Xion and Axel with kindness. Even in his conflicts with Seifer, he isn't unnecessarily mean or cold, he just stands up for what he feels is right, much like his counterpart, Sora.

Once he had woken up and Sora's reawakening affected him, he becomes very inquisitive. He asks questions about who he is, what he's meant to be doing, the goals of the Organization and the identity of this 'Sora'. He often has other questions, such as wondering how people with hearts are different from them, and he almost always asks Axel. This inquisitiveness is simply foreshadowing to other parts of his personality.

Roxas is very hard working. Not only does he have his own missions to complete for the Organization, but when Xion temporarily loses her ability to wield the keyblade, Roxas agrees with Axel's idea for him to step up and kill twice as many heartless for her. When given a day of, he has no idea how to spend his day and finds himself wandering around aimlessly, asking others what they are doing to fill their time. The idea that children get a month off of school is horrifying to him, but he admits that perhaps a week he could manage.

Because Roxas has not been around long, and unlike other Nobodies he had no memories of his past life, he is very innocent. A great deal of things confuse him, very easily. Concepts like love and friendship are things he only understands, based on whatever Axel told him. The memories he does gain of Sora's are very few, and don't really answer many of his questions. Roxas has always had difficulty with his memories, not just Sora's memories, but his own. It takes a few times for anything to stick and it takes a conscious effort to remember things, such as how many days he's been around, Axel's name and his love for sea salt ice cream. Axel often asks him 'Got it memorized?' if it's important enough, and Roxas will use this as a memory trick for himself. He has in the past, turned the question back around to Axel as a statement, to let him know that he did in fact remember.

It is likely due to this memory problem that it was suggested to him he keep a journal, however many of his journal entries include 'I don't know what to write in here', suggesting he really doesn't know how to keep a journal.

Roxas did attempt to be friendly with the other members of the Organization, but unfeeling that they were, he didn't have any success beyond Xion and Axel. In the program, he's very friendly with Hayner, Pence and Olette, something he desired to do, and he is for the most part, a cheerful person, despite his confusion. He's much quicker to temper than Sora however, but a great deal of that is thanks to the confusion that is often interlaced with his anger.

Many things catch Roxas' interest, and due to his lack of memories he has a lot more questions for Axel. He asks him about the other kids in Twilight Town, wondering if people are like that noisy and running around and Axel tells him that that's what people with hearts do, and also teaches him the concept of friendship. He wonders about Kingdom Hearts and the importance of it. He wonders if having a heart is all that important, but he doesn't understand because he doesn't have a heart. Axel however doesn't question their mission, they have to collect the hearts to make Kingdom Hearts and get their own hearts, in this way, he differs from Roxas because Roxas uses his confusion to question the fundamental basis of their organization. When they discuss what he has that he can't bear to lose, he expresses how scary it is to think he'd lose his memories of Axel or Xion, even though he shouldn't be able to feel such fear. This conversation was brought on because he met someone who had something he couldn't bear to lose. Often when Roxas meets people, he finds himself reflecting on them, something that the other Nobodies don't seem to do.

Surrounding Roxas appears to be a bit of a strange phenomenon. Not only does he affect Xion and pass on his powers, memories and feelings to her by design, but in fact he changes Axel. Axel who was perhaps impartial and without feelings, found himself getting very attached to Roxas, and Xion. Roxas and Axel were best friends, and the feelings of happiness and contentment came with that, not just for him, but Axel as well. Roxas was able to reform him, heartless or not. Sora has a similar skill, an ability to make friends wherever he goes, something that bleeds through to his Nobody.

As alluded to previously, Roxas' questions reach a breaking point and he exhibits a rebellious streak. He is not content forever to do what he's told, he wants to know why and he wants to know who he is and who Sora is. Despite knowing he's Sora's Nobody, he tells Riku he's nobody but himself. Once in the Twilight Town program and things begin to behave strangely, he actively searches for the cause of the abnormalities. He's not the kind of person willing to wait around and let things happen on their own. Even at the bitter end, he declares to DiZ "My heart is my own!" but when he realizes it's a fruitless endeavor, he sadly accepts his fate at last.
