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. | 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.

While Nobodies are normally destroyed along with their Heartless counterparts to restore a complete being, Roxas was able to co-exist with Sora thanks to the unique method that restored him to a complete being. However, as downside, Roxas lacked any conscious memory of his time as Sora (as the strength of Sora's heart allowed him to retain his memories as a Heartless) | While Nobodies are normally destroyed along with their Heartless counterparts to restore a complete being, Roxas was able to co-exist with Sora thanks to the unique method that restored him to a complete being. However, as a downside, Roxas lacked any conscious memory of his time as Sora (as the strength of Sora's heart allowed him to retain his memories as a Heartless), though Roxas would reflexively respond to things Sora would. At the time Roxas's creation, Sora also held [[Ventus]]'s heart within his own and remained with Sora's body and soul when it became a Nobody, resulting in Roxas taking on Ventus's features instead of Sora's.<ref name="RoxVenLooks">[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' Ultimania''']], '''Interviewer:''' "Why do Roxas and Ventus look alike?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura:''' "Sora and Ventus's heart are linked... And so Roxas, who is a part of Sora, was affected by that and looks just like Ventus." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/BBS-Ultimania-20-Mysteries-Solved-2546 Translation via Lissar].</ref> | ||
Roxas comes into being, dazed and confused, in Twilight Town, where he is found by [[Xemnas]], who gives him his new name. 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. | Roxas comes into being, dazed and confused, in Twilight Town, where he is found by [[Xemnas]], who gives him his new name.

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. | Sora visits Twilight Town after [[Vexen]] gives him the world card.

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.
