'''Hayner''' is a character that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. A resident of [[Twilight Town]], Hayner is a friend of [[Pence]] and [[Olette]] (and [[Roxas]], or at least the virtual version of himself) and is also the rival of [[Seifer]]. He also appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' alongside Pence and Olette.

In [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]]'s [[Twilight Town|Simulated Twilight Town]], he was Roxas's 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. His jealousy is short-lived, though, as Seifer withdraws from the tournament and Hayner is moved up to third place, allowing him to share the winnings with Roxas.

In the real Twilight Town he and his friends don't mention Roxas at all, but seem to recognize [[Sora]] slightly, because they had met Roxas in ''358/2 Days''. Initially, he is somewhat hostile towards Sora, presumably because he, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] barged in on their usual hangout while exploring Twilight Town upon their release from stasis. Also, he initially 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, Pence and Olette attempted to get into the Old Mansion when they discovered that there was an alternate Twilight Town, and they also wanted to search for [[Kairi]], whom Hayner called "our friend too" - he was attacked by [[Dusk]]s. However, he, being headstrong and street smart, along with his friends Pence and Olette, helped Sora and the gang find the way into the virtual Twilight Town.

Hayner is also a competent fighter and is seen facing off against his rival Seifer in the finals of the Struggle competition sometime after Sora and Riku return back to their islands.

Hayner has brown eyes, light skin, dark eyebrows, and spiky, blond hair. He wears baggy, camouflage-print capris pants, a short, sleeveless, grey vest, and a black muscle shirt decorated with a white, crudely-drawn skull and crossbones. His shoes are the same camouflage pattern as his pants, but also sport white tips, grey soles, and each has two intersecting, black belts in place of laces. Hayner also wears a white necklace with a yellow "X" charm on it and a brown bracelet on his left wrist with several silver pins in it.

==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. He gets bored easily during uneventful times, as demonstrated when he constantly pesters his friends to do something during their summer vacation. Hayner is also easily angered/irked, as shown in the very first scene in Twilight Town when he tells Pence, Olette and Roxas about how everyone labeled them thieves for stealing photos. He thirsts for some kind of recognition, as he is even irked when Roxas defeats him in the semi-final round of the Struggle tournament, leaving Hayner in fourth place (Hayner is soon moved up to third place when Seifer withdraws from the match).

==Fighting style==

{{Main|Game:Hayner}}

Hayner is a very offensive fighter. He isn't very good at counter-attacking or parrying and he tends to leave himself open after using his own attacks. Hayner will attack with a downward swing, a jumping uppercut, a stabbing attack, and a wide-arc swing. He doesn't seem to be very coordinated but can pack a lot of power. Interestingly enough, Hayner has the most health of all the Struggle combatants in Twilight Town.
