The rest of the cast in the first part of the story find her pretty annoying, but later warm up to her after helping the others out. She's also a lot more emotional than the player, who mostly just sits in the sidelines throughout the story.
Most people would suggest Chespin, because he's overpowered and has a pretty good moveset. Used Totodile in my first run, he wasn't bad at all either.
