Ender Wiggin was a timid boy who wanted to have his brother and parents to love him. Prior to joining the Battle School, Ender did not have the belligerence that he would soon possess. He did not want to be like Peter, so

On page 31, Card writes "The fear stayed, all throughout dinner as no one sat by him in the mess hall. The other boys were talking about things- the big scoreboard on one wall, the food, the bigger kids. Ender could only watch in isolation." Even in a new environment where he knows no one, Ender is still isolated and cannot manage to fit in with the other kids at battle school. As the story continues, Ender manages to make a few friends but he never becomes exceptionally close with anyone due to the fact that he is not like the others at battle school which the commanders such as Graff make very well known. Ender is much more intelligent and quick minded than the others, making his advancement in battle school quite rapid, leaving his acquaintances and the few he calls friends in his shadow. Ender's skills make him isolated since no one can even come close to defeating him, thus he cannot relate to his peers. At the beginning of Chapter 15; The Speaker of the Dead Ender, Ender is not brought back home to earth. Card formulates, " At first Ender believed that they would bring him back to Earth as soon as things quieted

Secondly, after some time Ender befriends a young boy from his launch group, named Alai. Almost instantaneously, Ender and Alai develop a very profound connection with one another.

When Ender finds out that he killed a whole race he is angry and says “’I didn’t want to kill anybody! I’m not a killer!”’(297).Throughout his journey Ender thinks that he is a replica of Peter. This is one of the many instances where Ender feels his whole persona is being manipulated into a copy of Peter by leaders at Battle School. Once Ender recognizes that most of his choices have been influenced by commanders such as Colonel Graff he decides to make a decision of his own by finding the buggers a new home.
