(in the ultimania for days, the timeline states that Roxas wakes up on the same day Sora goes to sleep for a year.)
Line 58: Line 58:
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.<ref>'''''[[Secret Ansem's Report 12]]''''': "Apart from Naminé, Nobodies retain their memories of their time as humans, but Sora's Nobody, Roxas, has lost Sora's memories. This is likely because Sora's time as a Heartless was short, having recovered his heart and returned to his human form soon after leaving behind Roxas, his Nobody."</ref>

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 of 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...
