The Player meets other Keyblade wielders over the course of their journey - some whose encounters are merely fleeting, and others who become trusted friends and allies.

Introduction: χ[chi] Tutorial / UX Quest 3
Keyblades: Starlight v1
Upon their awakening, the Player is immediately thrust into the fray with a battle against a Darkside. 6 Keyblade wielders come to their aid, showing them the ropes and helping to fend off this powerful foe.
A New Breed: χ[chi] 5-10 ~ 5-11 / UX Quest 231~250
The Player encounters the latter three wielders again when a new breed of Heartless begins appearing in Daybreak Town. They recruit the Player's help in dispatching them but the threat proves too much for the boy in yellow, who does not survive the endeavor.
χ[chi] Team Battles / Solo Ranking Parades
Keyblades: Starlight v1
In addition to the 6 above, these wielders also appear to represent competing players in daily team battles and cheer from the sidelines in the solo ranking parades.
Investigating Ephemer: χ[chi] Mission 14-2 ~ 14-5 / UX Quest 405~420
Keyblades: Starlight v1
Following Ephemer's disappearance, the Player scours Daybreak Town in search of clues. They turn to other wielders, hoping someone can point them in the right direction.
The first wielder offers no information and simply remarks that disappearances are not uncommon. The boy in the bunny suit observes that many wielders have been gathering in the Fountain Plaza as of late, but doesn't know for what purpose.
In the plaza, the Player encounters two others who share a rumor that Master Ava of Vulpes has been recruiting elite Keyblade wielders regardless of their Union. She'd been spotted in the plaza often, so the Player pokes around to see who might know more. A wielder in the Moogle Shop reveals that she'd actually seen Ephemer speaking to Ava on a previous occasion. A friend of hers is also well acquainted with this Foreteller but is currently away on mission.
χ[chi]: To kill time, the Player checks in on the Moogle, who requests their assistance. It seems the boy in the bunny suit has been moonlighting as his errand boy and hasn't returned yet. The Player tracks him down to the Central Market Warehouse, where he discloses that he'd been sent out to retrieve some wares but had forgotten all about it until now. They relay a message from the Moogle, telling him him to hurry back. Upon their return, the Moogle directs the Player to Seaside Park, a popular hangout spot for wielders returning from missions.
The Player heads to Seaside Park and finds the wielder's friend, who reveals that he'd seen Ava going to the tower.
UX: The Player tracks the wielder's friend down while on his mission in Agrabah.
Seeds of Hope: χ[chi] Mission 22-3 / UX Quest 555
Knowing the Keyblade War would be inevitable, the Master of Masters instructs Ava to recruit elite Keyblade wielders for a special group known as the Dandelions. Potential candidates from each Union are put to the test, and those who manage to resist the temptation of darkness are granted an invitation.
They would have one goal: to flee to a new world and ensure that the future of Keyblade wielders lives on.
χ[chi] 3rd Anniversary
Keyblades: Olympia v5, other Keyblades v3
The wielders are tasked with harvesting Crystals of Light by defeating powerful Heartless rampaging throughout the worlds. Although they do their best to complete these missions, the onslaught of darkness proves greater than they can handle, and morale slowly begins to drop. As the weeks go by, their numbers dwindle. Many submit to the darkness and transform into Darklings, while those left behind struggle to find the strength to keep going.
While their fates are left vague, five of this group would reappear later in Union χ[Cross] and befriend the Player, indicating that the surviving wielders fled with the Dandelions to the new world.
χ[chi] Final Episode: 25-1 ~ 25-8 [Part 1] [Part 2] / UX Keyblade War Event
Keyblades: Keyblades v3
Tensions rise between the Foretellers, and that negativity trickles down to the wielders that make up their Unions. Friends and rivals accuse each other of thievery and wickedness, causing standoffs everywhere. Any attempts to quell the anger fall on deaf ears and the whole thing soon reaches a boiling point, resulting in the legendary Keyblade War.

[UX-exclusive] Friend or Rivals (Quest 501~525)
Keyblade: Starlight v3
The Player pops into the Moogle Shop and encounters a rather aloof Keyblade wielder. Although the Player was eager to make new friends, he shows no interest and quickly declares them to be rivals instead. He views gathering Lux as something of a game, only caring about defeating powerful Heartless to net large quantities of it for his Union.
Despite the boy's reluctance for comraderie, there is one person who proudly claims to be their friend - a bright, cheerful wielder who sees past the boy's outward feelings and does his best to remain in good spirits about their relationship, no matter how many times he gets brushed off.
When the aloof wielder's irresponsible actions lead his friend to be injured, he is able to see the error of his ways and finally open up to others.
[UX-exclusive] Fun in the Sun (Quest 720)
Keyblade: Olympia v3
Player and their friends take on a mission to defeat Heartless at the local beach, thinking they'd be able to catch a break while they're there. Though they're able to clear the mission with ease, things don't exactly go according to plan. Other wielders had the same idea and, while enjoying their time in the sun, were attacked by a vicious Shipwreck Shark. Only one managed to survive, and he returned to Daybreak Town dejectedly.
