Bean and Achilles Flandres were two prominent kids among the crews. When Bean snuck out of his new home with Sister Carlotta at age four, he encountered a belligerent pair of eight-year-old kids, but confidently moved past them.

Rov (See Hundred Worlds)

Royal Mother of the West ([XN])

The Royal Mother of the West was one of the gods worshipped by the Chinese colonists on the planet Path. Si Wang-mu, a servant girl who would become Peter Wiggin II’s wife, was named for her. Royal Mother was Wang-mu’s ancestor-of-the-heart.

Rudolf, Captain Helena (PL)

Captain Helena Rudolf, a young German woman, was sent by the International Fleet to conduct Battle School testing in Poland. With a curt, almost stern demeanor, she tested the children of the Wieczorek family, and was the first to discover the exceptional intelligence of the family’s seventh child, John Paul. She took the findings back to the International Fleet and returned with her colleagues, Colonel Sillian and Captain Hyrum Graff, to further test five-year-old John Paul.

Russian General (PL)

Several leaders of the International Fleet evaluated six-year-old John Paul Wieczorek’s Battle School screening tests, among them the Russian general. He was worried John Paul was bluffing—that his scores were too good. The Russian general was the representative of the Office of Strategos. In this capacity, he insisted that John Paul be considered for Battle School and agreed that Captain Hyrum Graff should make the final determination on the matter.

Russian Kidnappers (SH)

The Russian kidnappers were assigned by a mysterious leader to round up the members of Ender’s Command School team and take them to an undisclosed location in their home country where the captives would play war games. They were impatient with Petra Arkanian and used injections to make her unconscious. They held her in solitary confinement for nearly six weeks before allowing her to join the rest of her colleagues.

Saavedra, Ouanda Quenhatta Figueira Mucumbi (SD, XN, CM)

Ouanda was the firstborn child of Libo Figueira and his wife Bruxinha. She was a talented xenologist on the planet Lusitania. Following her father’s death at the hands of the native life-forms, the pequeninos, Ouanda violated the government rule that the pequeninos (or piggies) be quarantined. She visited the aliens frequently.

She developed a close, loving relationship with her xenologist colleague, Miro Ribeira von Hesse. They often argued about the best course of action to take with the piggies, including whether or not they should introduce to them the newly arrived Speaker for the Dead, Ender Wiggin.

Ouanda and Miro fell in love, but soon discovered they were actually siblings, sharing the same father—Libo.

Jane, Ender’s sentient computer program, sent a message through interplanetary computer networks stating that Ouanda and Miro had taught the piggies agriculture—a violation of the law. As a result, Lusitania’s charter was revoked, and Ouanda and Miro were ordered to go to the nearest planet, Trondheim, to face an inquiry into their criminal actions.

Before learning about the inquiry, Ouanda and Miro discovered that there was dissension among the piggies over the arrival of the Speaker. Some of the piggies threatened to kill others if the Speaker did not arrive.
