Introvertial. A word that was constantly used to depict a certain blonde boy who resides in Twilight Town. And for good reason as well. Why? Well, because he's...you know...an absolute NERD. He has to be the most bookish middle-schooler in the century. Not only that, but he rarely speaks to anyone else, even to his family. The boy barely has a so-called "social life".

What made him grow into such a reserved young fellow? Let's have a quick review, shall we?

August 14th, 2000, Mitchelle Helterbrand gave birth to twins- named Sora and two were younger half of four siblings. Both children looked alike, but both lived a tale of two halves.

Sora, the elder twin, was the third child of the family. He turned out to be a perfect fit for the cheerful household. He was cheerful, outgoing, considerate, funny, smart, good-looking(they all are anyway) and extremely athletic. Sora was not only a bright student, but he was also a stellar athlete, just like his elder siblings- Vanitas and Ventus. Subsequently, he was admired, adored, even loved by everyone around him. His relatives would always hand him bouquets of orchids, all the kids idolized him and all the ladies swooned over him.

Roxas on the other hand, turned out to be the complete opposite. In other words, he was the odd banana out of the four siblings. He was the youngest, and according to everyone else, the most inferior of them all, for Roxas was nothing like his parents nor his siblings.

The Helterbrand family was highly-regarded by the folks from Twilight Town for they all knew what they were capable of. The father of the household, Devin Helterbrand, was an all-state basketball player who also posed as one of the state's brightest students. He was student-athlete role model that everyone strived to be like. He had everything, the women, the fame, the fortune, the talent and the attitude. He was like the modern Archie Manning, which was why he was widely-regarded by the townspeople.

His wife, Mitchelle Helterbrand, was also a top student-athlete during her earlier days. She was the town's sweetheart, for she was extremely beautiful, very kind and just a down-right princess. Men went to war for her hand, but in the end, she fell in-love with the town's top athlete.

The two wed shortly after college. Both individuals incessantly denied invitations from various professional sports associations about taking their talents to the professional level. For the couple decided to focus on each other and their chosen professions.

Initially, the young couple earned debasive comments from the general public. However, the couple was so adored and respected that the townsfolk eventually decided to shut up and allow the newly-weds to move along with their lives. The couple couldn't have been any happier with their decision.

As time passed, Mitchelle gave birth to their first child- Vanitas. Vanitas Helterbrand, the eldest of four children, became very much like his father. Vanitas was a phenomal athlete blessed with tremendous strength. He also inherited his parents' wisdom, acing all of his classes since he started his schooling. His parents couldn't have been any more proud of him as his peers constantly praised him.

A year later, Mitchelle had their second child- Ventus. Ventus Helterbrand, took after more of his mother. Ven was a true scholar. He possesses true wisdom and operates shrewdly down the stretch. In other words, he is a full-grown man in a teenager's body. Not only did he garner insurmountable astuteness from his parents, but he also inherited their athleticism.

Another year later, Mitchelle had their twin children- Sora and Roxas. While Sora went on to live up to the family name, Roxas had a rather different life than his parents and siblings. He wasn't an athlete, he wasn't outgoing, he didn't have any star power at all, he was reserved and he hated being around other people. The only quality that he inherited from his parents, was their intelligence.

The thing about being a member of a prominent student-athlete family is that if you fail to show up like your family members before you, you'll probably receive all the tomatoes to the face. People would hate you and criticize you for failing to adapt to the lifestyle that your family has been so accustomed to.

That's what exactly happened to Roxas. He was judged, criticized and even hated by the general consensus. Everyone kept rambling about how useless he was and how he wasn't worthy of being a Helterbrand. If he wasn't insulted, he was neglected. In fact, because of his uniqueness, a lot of people in Twilight Town are unaware of his existence. Not everyone knows about the Helterbrands' fourth child for he didn't behave like one.

For that, he was bullied by his peers. He was treated badly, teased, bullied and even disrespected in front of his parents. Most people would always ramble about how undeserving he is to be a part of the Helterbrand household. For everyone believed that only flawless student-athletes held the name.

Not even his parents nor his brothers were able to protect him. His parents would constantly ask elders to look after their youngest child but would just end up insulting the young boy. His brothers, especially Sora, tried to tell their friends to stop bullying their youngest sibling. Unknowingly, their peers kept raining Roxas with foul adjectives.

Knowing all these, one doesn't have to be a genius to conclude that Roxas had a very forgettable childhood. Some might even put his sanity into question after all of the things that he endured. His family members tried talking him into playing sports, but he simply refused. He wasn't a fan of sports. He would rather stay up all night long reading a book than picking up a basketball.

That all changed though. When Roxas reached the sixth grade, the bullying just went to a whole new level. People would not only hurt him emotionally, but physically as well. He would get beaten up, wedgied, spat on, kicked in the gut, et cetera. He always claimed that he tripped or fell every time his parents and siblings would ask about the ugly bruises on his torso/face.

Eventually, Roxas decided that enough was enough. He has decided. He's going to play sports. The people want the last Helterbrand to show up? Well he's about to give them one hell of a welcome party.

During the summer before the seventh grade, Roxas started training. In the morning, he would sneak his way to the training facility and watch his three siblings sharpen their skills. He would eye them closely, taking in every drill, every detail, every technique and every process. When evening came, he would get out of bed and emulate his brothers' training drills. He would work from 10:00 PM in the evening to 5:00 AM the following day.

Sure it took some getting used to, but when his body adjusted to his athletic workouts, he mercilessly pushed his physical limits. After his training session, he would literally crawl back to his room. He would shower and sleep until the afternoon. Not only were his sleeping habits disarrayed, but his eating habits as well. He started eating ten times the amount of food he usually does. His family members questioned him, but he just shrugged it off claiming that he was hungry.

For some reason, Roxas felt that he shouldn't tell his parents and siblings about his athletic progression just yet. He figured that he would just surprise them one day in a pick-up game or some sort. He just shut his mouth and continued honing his basketball skills. He figured that one day, he wouldn't have to bring shame to his parents and his family name. He figured that one day, he would look in the mirror and finally say that he is quite proud of what he sees.

Unfortunately, his bond with his family weakened over the summer. Roxas was so busy training for basketball that he turned down all of his parents' invitations to go on vacations. His brothers nagged him to death about coming along, but he replied with a resounding no. His parents as well did nothing to stop him. Roxas loved his parents and would've went with them if they asked. But being so kind and understanding, his parents just smiled at him and didn't force him.

The Helterbrands along with their three children went to tours around the continent for a whole month. Roxas, was left alone, since his parents trusted him, they didn't get a babysitter for him. Although they warned their neighbors, for they were worried that Roxas might get bullied again while they're gone.

Truth to be told, Roxas indeed was still bullied. However, this time around, Roxas didn't just waive it off. He used the malicious words of his peers to compel himself to become a better athlete. He used to sulk by his room years ago, now, he destroyed the basketball court. He released his anger and emotions on the hardwood. After some breath-catching drills, he would forget about every curse that was thrown at him, much to his delight.

When he figured it out, he started playing basketball not only to please his parents and to prove himself, but he started playing to obtain solace. Eventually, the hardwood with two rings became his sanctuary. Whenever he would enter the court, he would block out every bad emotion/situation. He's always at peace and at ease during his time on the court. With a new reason to keep him going, he continued his seven-hours-per-day workout 24/7.

Summer eventually ended. His family came back from their trip and reunited with him. After some catching-up, school was finally here again. Unbeknowst to Roxas, his family was actually worried about him. They all knew that the bullying had to stop. Roxas can't keep living like this. Devin promised himself that he was going to protect his youngest child no matter what the cost. His brothers as well, committed themselves into ensuring a safe high school life for their little brother.

As for Roxas, he just kept playing ball. Before he knew it, the next day was going to be the beginning of his high school life. Boy, was he excited. After this year, everyone would know him. Everyone would stop bullying him. He will bring his family honor. And of course, he will finally be worthy of the name Helterbrand.

It's time to show Twilight Town, who the youngest son of Devin and Mitchelle Helterbrand is.
