==Etymology==
 
An "[[wikipedia:Aubade|Aubade]]" is a song or poem evoking dawn which is traditionally a love song of two lovers parting in the morning. While not fully romantic in nature, the most defining aspects of Roxas's personality occur in Twilight Town: after leaving the Organization (and specifically Axel), he travels to Twilight Town; there, he encounters and is forced to defeat his close friend Xion, destroying her and giving up even his memories of her.
== Undertone ==
An aubade is traditionally a poem or song about two lovers seperating at dawn. This metaphor could be applied to several of Roxas's (platonic) relationships:
*Roxas recieves his name from Xemnas in Twilight Town, almost completely seperating himself from Sora as he gains his own identity.
*When he escapes from The World That Never Was, he travels to Twilight Town, severing his ties with Organization XIII, but more importantly Axel.
*In his last confrontation with Xion at the clock tower in Twilght Town, Roxas defeats her. Although confronted, this is still the only time where Roxas has a direct effect in seperating from someone he still cared for and who cared for him as well.
*Roxas' residence during Sora's final stages of memory recovery is a [[Simulated Twilight Town|simulated Twilight Town]], where he stayed until he was fully assimilated into Sora, ultimately ending all relationships Roxas had formed beforehand.
 
 
It should be noted that dawn leads to twilight, where as the weapon Aubade can, where available, lead to Twilght Town, where these events take place.
 
== Trivia ==
The original Japanese name, ''Aubade Lord'' insinuates that Roxas is the "Lord" of aubades.
 
It is safe to assume that the metaphors do not apply to Xion, seeing as how she was merely a copy of Roxas.
 
Most of Roxas' weapon names refer to guilt/pain or the night; Aubade is the only to do both at once.
 


==Trivia==
*The names of Roxas's weapons generally refer to either the pain of parting and loneliness, or light phenomena. The Aubade is the only weapon to do both.
