'''Roxas''', the {{nihongo|''Key of Destiny''|めぐりあう鍵|Meguriau Kagi|lit ''Serendipitous Key''}}, is the [[Nobody]] of [[Sora]] and was Rank XIII within the original [[Organization XIII]], born when Sora took his own heart to restore [[Kairi]]'s. Although Sora's heart was soon restored, Roxas continued to endure and exist, oblivious of Sora's existence for most of his life. He has the ability to use the [[Keyblade]], and wields light, using it to direct rays that strike opponents with great power. He commands the [[Samurai]] Nobodies.

Roxas was also one of the mysterious hooded figures in ''[[Another side, Another story...]]'' and ''Deep Dive''. During the prologue of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', the player controls Roxas until [[Sora]] is awakened. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', Roxas is the primary protagonist. This game focuses on the time period between Roxas's birth and his departure from the Organization, eventually leading to his capture at the hands of [[Riku]] and [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]].

According to the [[Secret Ansem Reports]], Roxas is born when Sora stabs himself with the [[Keyblade of heart]], forged from the hearts of six of the seven [[Princesses of Heart]], in order to free Kairi's heart at the cost of his own. However, Sora spends little time as a [[Sora's Heartless|Heartless]], as Kairi's light fetches Sora's heart from the darkness, restoring him to his former self shortly after he becomes a Heartless.

While Nobodies are usually destroyed so such a restoration would be possible, Roxas is able to co-exist alongside Sora, albeit with no memories of his life before. Regardless, Roxas's status as Sora's Nobody grants him the ability to use the [[Keyblade]].

Roxas comes into being, dazed and confused, in [[Twilight Town]], where he is found and named by [[Xemnas]]. Shortly afterwards, he meets [[Axel]], who, after they see [[Hayner]], [[Pence]] and [[Olette]] walking through the town, takes Roxas to eat [[Sea-salt ice cream]] on the Clock Tower.

Six days after coming into being, Roxas and Xemnas meets at the [[Dark Margin]], where they talk. Xemnas reveals that he had been to see Sora, as Xemnas had encountered him at [[Hollow Bastion]].

Sora visits [[Twilight Town]] after [[Vexen]] gives him the world card. Sora doesn't recognize the world, but Donald and Goofy point out that he must, as it was created from his memories. Vexen tells Sora that it was made from the memories found on the other side of his heart. This references to Roxas as Vexen met Roxas before leaving for [[Castle Oblivion]].

After finishing Riku's Story, there is a picture of Roxas that is shown after the credits. This was altered into a silent cutscene in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'' with Roxas seen with Hayner, Pence, and Olette. During the end credits, Axel is seen to converse with him, Roxas completely oblivious to his presence.

Roxas was born in [[Twilight Town]] and soon discovered by Xemnas, who gave him his name. Having nowhere else to go, Roxas joins the Organization in hopes of finding the answers he needs. Axel took a liking to Roxas and ate [[Sea-salt ice cream]] with him on his first day. On Roxas's fifth day, Xemnas places Roxas under [[Axel]]'s watch, and the two soon become best friends. When he visits Twilight Town, sometimes Roxas catches sight of 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 to him that she can wield a 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, but he begins to react to the process of Sora's memory restoration by having strange dreams and visions; he also begins to question why he wields the Keyblade and doubt the Organization's motives.

DiZ aims to join Sora and Roxas together in order to help Sora wake up faster after regaining his memories. However, he knows the Organization is hunting fervently for their missing member, so DiZ places him in a [[Simulated Twilight Town|virtual Twilight Town]]. There, Roxas would be kept safely away from the Organization while he lived as a normal boy, unaware of his past. Even though Roxas begins to forget about Xion, she tells him that she'll always remember him and Axel.  When Roxas begins to forget, his memories of past events with Xion are changed due to her erasure.
