They are supposed to be a "junior friend" whom the hero is 
mentoring, so I'd probably build them on a more restricted
archetype, like

Stats:  8 points, max of 3 in any stat
Delta Points: 1
Starting Size: 4
Skills:  2 points worth of skills for each die, max 5 in no 
         more than 2 skills
Quirks:  No more than -5 points of negative quirks.
         Automatically get Young -1 and Poor -3, which do not
          count to the maximum of -5 Quirks, and which may be
          bought off in character creation with other negative
          Quirks.
Powers:  As normal.
Tricks:  1
