Well a keyword doesn't give you a follower
(It's that FAQ again)
"You do not get retainers or sidekicks for free just because they are
listed in one of your keywords -- those are not like abilities. IF
you take a retainer or sidekick, and it is appropriate to the list of
Typical Followers in your keyword, your relationship starts at 17
rather than 13, but you still have to have the retainer in your
narrative or list."
I can't see a point cost for choosing a sidekick. You will, however, probably have to use more words to describe a sidekick if you are using the Narrative character generation. You certainly have to name each sidekick individually while it seems to be OK to take small groups of retainers with one "word" (e.g "Four Storms" as a proper name counts as one word).
