Niello and Melchior (a poetic name for cupronickel)/NM is much more character-driven (in terms of both human characters and pokemon) in terms of plot: both the main league and villainous team plot usually play second fiddle to the characters and their actions, at least until the end of the game. At that end, you'll have a group of friends/rivals like in XY, but it will be built up over the course of the game:
Senka: the female protagonist: Default senka is a pale-skinned girl with long white hair and red eyes. She wears a black jacket over a white minidress and tights, along with thighh-legth boots that are black. Her hat is a boonie hat with a white central cone, and her bag is a purse. She appears a bit younger than Bert (approximately 12). "Senka" is serbo-croat for shadow. Her voice is low for a woman, almost like a later teenager.
Matija: the main rival. Matija's gender is selectable through a prompt early in the game. Thing is, both designs areeffectively genderflips of one another. Male Matija (Mato) has short, frizzy hair, whilst Matko (female Matija) has a ponytail (they have blond hair). They both wear an outfit inspired by (if not an outright high-resolution version of) Chase (Mato/Elane (Matko)'s outfit, just with a three-way red-green-blue color scheme. Matija is the player's childhood friend, and the original owner of the toy scimitar, spear, and mace the player has in their room. The two of you moved apart, but when you and mom moved in with your grandma, you discovered Matija lives in the same town (s/he came by grandma's thinking you had moved in before you actually did). S/he's very eager and happy to see you again.
First set of rivals
Dzenefer: the rival Hospod players get after the first trial (being the boss of said trial). Dzen is a stern, principled girl with an athletic build (she's about bea's age and has a similar build, though it's much more difficult to point out when clothed) and a short red hairstyle. She wears a jean jacket over a loose gray minidress and red thigh-length boots (with black modesty shorts). She's very tall, standing a full head over the player character. Dzen does not back down from a challenge and is a very proud (some would say prideful) trainer.
Heidi: The rival hero players get after the first trial (where she's the boss). Heidi is a nerdy girl with a very average build and long almond hair. She wears an open green-plaid furlined jacket over a white undershirt that has asterisks forming a star around the navel, and a jean skirt with long black tights (and modesty shorts). Heidi is...a little too obsessed with completing the pokedex.
Slobodan: The rival Hajduk plauers get after the first trial (again, he's the boss). Dan is a tall, lanky, feminine boy with round blackhair who dresses in an overtly goth level and is basically a total edgelord (combining both the western and the japanese interpretations). He wears a thick black trenchcoat with red stars and white stripes (catch the reference), blue jeans, and a fedora with a red rim. He's actually a really nice guy who loves to pet wooloo (and he knows how to make cheese from their milk), just don't tell anyone...ever.
