Yes.

...However, the episode of House of Mouse she appeared in unfortunately had her acting rather perky and bubbly around Max, only ever showing shades of other parts of her personality towards the end when she initially acted like she was disappointed and critical of her date with Max, only to reveal that she was just feigning disappointment and criticism when she whispered into Max's ear that she loved their date, and then proceeded to giggle girly-like at Max's stunned reaction to her telling him that (since he was afraid that she thought their date went badly).

It seems that the writers of that episode didn't quite understand the layers and nuances that Roxanne had to her personality in the movie.

As for her comic appearances, "My Hero" probably had her to closest to her movie depiction, being plucky and enamored but not too girly, and "Gorilla in Our Midst" even presented her at a point in her life when she had become even more confident in herself and strong-willed, even seeming like she was the dominate member of her relationship with Max.

On the other hand "Je T'Ayuck" depicted her in a way that I didn't really like, as it almost made Roxanne come off as sort of insensitive towards Max's feelings since she kept secret from him the fact that she was going to star in a romance-genre school play in which she'd be kissing another boy (a rather stud-muffin hunk of a boy, no less), and we're never told if she ever even considered how Max would feel about seeing his girl kissing another guy on stage in front of the whole school. Given how Max himself was portrayed in this French comic, I strongly doubt he would have been okay with it without his ever having found out about the play beforehand like he ended up doing. Thankfully, the comic ended up having Max be the guy that Roxanne would be kissing in the play since the other guy got sick the morning that the play was gonna open, but still. I wish there was some kind of extended adaptation of this story that would show us Roxanne's perspective of the situation and how she felt about both keeping the play's existence a secret from Max and about having to kiss another guy onstage in front of everyone and her boyfriend. Hopefully she'd feel at least some discomfort about the whole thing since her depiction in the movie showed her to be very much in favor of honesty and faithfulness being key to relationships.
