Equally as brilliant as Ender, Ender's older sister Valentine was rejected from the Battle School because she is too compassionate, too caring. Valentine is Ender's emotional connection to the world. She cared for Ender during his early years when he was the target of unrelenting torment at the hands of their oldest sibling Peter. Valentine serves as Ender's inspiration to keep persevering through the challenges of Battle School.While on Earth, Valentine assumes the pseudonym of Demosthenes, using that fake identity to influence global opinion through the nets at her brother's urging. Demosthenes, serving as a counterpart to Peter Wiggin's Locke persona, is a paranoid anti-Russia, anti-Warsaw Pact demagogue who rises to great prominence on Earth. However, Valentine's personal opinions are almost the complete opposite of the views she espouses through Demosthenes.
