In the beginning of Ender’s game, we are introduced to Ender Wiggin. Ender Wiggin was a shy kid who was unaware of all of the possibilities he had. He starts to become a stronger more mature boy and soon enough realizes all the power he posses. He has an older brother named Peter, and an older sister named Valentine. He at first is this little, weak kid, and in five years goes from that to a mature leader of an army. We see him progress to the top of what he becomes, but it does not happen easily. He has to make many hard decisions that could go any which way.

While the distance separates them, the specific dynamics of their relationship fade into the background, but if Ender were to suddenly return to earth, even five years later, even as a war hero, Peter would likely treat him just the same, because Peter doesn’t change. At the conclusion of the novel, Valentine takes it into her own hands to ensure that Ender never returns to earth, knowing that Peter, now gaining power in politics, would use and manipulate his famous younger brother to give himself further sway. This remains true because “the id… does not change with time” which has also proven true for Peter in other instances (McLeod). With Ender gone, the Wiggin family moves away, much to Valentine’s chagrin. She wonders how Ender is meant to come home, to find them, when home is no longer where it once was. Simultaneously, Valentine knows exactly why the family has moved: “It was for Peter, so that living among trees and small animals, so that nature, in as raw a form as Mother and Father could conceive of it, might have a softening influence on their strange and frightening son” (Card 151). The Wiggin parents had hoped that the calm serenity of nature might find root in Peter, and as far as they are concerned, it did. Upon moving, Peter seems better than before. He does well in school; he does not torment his classmates.

Ender’s brother and sister had a very big influence on Ender, if it weren’t for them being so smart the International Fleet wouldn’t have authorized Ender’s birth and if it weren’t for Peter he wouldn’t have known how to cry silently and Valentine helped him cope with Peter while also teaching him how to love and helping him when he visits Earth right before going to Command School.
