The Keyblade Wielder's Other.  He's got a temper.

Roxas does have a bit of a temper, but he’s calmed down quite a bit now that his life makes sense.  For once, his life isn’t confusing.  He’s not a Nobody who is a part of an Organization with a purpose that he doesn’t know.  He’s not sharing a heart and mind with Sora where there are more levels of consciousness than anyone can keep track of.  Now he simply lives on Destiny Islands and goes out during the day to take care of darkness problems as they spring up. 

At any time, he can go out with Axel or Xion.  Or he can go out with Kairi or Sora.  He has options.  He’s also currently training to be a Keyblade Master, a dream that both he and Xion share now that Sora’s a Master.  Roxas is mostly just grateful that he gets to spend his life with Axel and Xion.  The whole reason why he split himself from Sora permanently was because he knew he could save Xion and be fully friends with Axel once again.

He is a tad jealous that his best friend, Axel, is spending a lot of time going out searching for the mystery woman: Kuin.  But, ultimately, he forgives Axel for this because he’s tired of holding grudges.  He spends a lot of time with Xion as well, considering the two of them are who they are to each other.  He never really admitted to anyone his feelings about her.  However, his feelings for her are quite obvious and everyone knows it.  Xion is the only one that matters though, and she knows just how much he cares about her. 

Roxas also spends some time building friendships with everyone else who has taken to living on Destiny Islands.  He and Sora are very brotherly-like.  They are not nearly as telepathic as Namine and Kairi however.  This is probably due to the fact that Sora lives in a state of hyper consciousness and it is more effort than either boy is willing to make to establish a stable telepathic connection.  Regardless, the two boys tease each other and yet look after each other as brothers would do.  And why wouldn’t they? They’re two sides of the same coin.

He and Namine also bicker like brother and sister.  He cares for Kairi purely because Sora cares for her.  He and Riku are good friends.  He jokes with Ven about the fact that they look nearly identical and offered to be Ven’s double if he needed one.  He’s adjusted quite well to this life that he currently lives.

However, in the event that anything comes to disrupt this, do not doubt for a moment, that his temper will return.  You saw how vigorously he went after Xigbar when he mocked Xion’s injuries.
