Ky-Nim's White Nuzlocke
Protagonists
Nina Aarden
- The Ace: Cheren sees her as such. She disagrees.
- The Chosen One: For Zekrom/Zekrias.
- The Lad-ette: Implied in the first ever comic, based on her reaction to Bianca giving her a very girly looking dress for her birthday.
- Ship Tease: With Cheren, Bianca and N!
- Spin-Offspring: She's Kynim and Roark's daughter.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: After the Ghetsis incident, she's left terrified of Hydreigons for a while. Izzy (the Deino she caught) helps her overcome this.
Cheren Joohyuk Han
- Adaptational Nationality: Kinda, since his nationality was never mentioned in the original games; if the surname wasn't enough of a tip off, he's Korean here.
- And Then What?: Like in the games, his main problem is that he's not sure what he'll do with his life when he becomes Champion.
- Childhood Friends: With Bianca and Nina. It's implied that he may be in love with Nina too.
- Nice Guy
Bianca Rosso
- Abusive Parents: Her dad is this to her, mostly emotionally and verbally (it's implied that he saves the physical abuse for her mother). Part of her character arc is overcoming this.
- Dumb Blonde: Subverted epically—Bianca is a bit spacey at first, and clearly doubts herself, but she's much smarter than she appears.
- Nice Girl
- Southern Belle: Portrayed as such, in sort of a Stealth Pun on her Japanese name.
Nathaniel Harmonia
- Adaptational Name Change: Goes from "Natural Harmonia to Nathaniel Harmonia. And we're all grateful to Ky-Nim for changing it.

- The Chosen One: For Reshiram/Reshai.
- Freudian Excuse: Has more or less the same one as in canon, though it's taken a bit further here.
- Missing Mom: His mother, Miriam Harmonia, passed away prior to the story's beginning, when he was just a kid.
- Stalker without a Crush: Maybe. It's not clear if he's actually romantically interested in Nina.
