The Main Characters in the novel.

The three main characters are obvious. The Wiggins.
Locke/Hegemon - Peter Wiggin
Demonsthesis - Valentine Wiggin
Speaker for the Dead/Ender - Andrew Wiggin

I like Valentine. I mean, who wouldn't? She is such a loving person that you want to love her as much as you think she'll love you. She, like her brothers, are inhumanly intelligent and rational.
Somehow, I came to have a positive feeling toward Peter. He is cruel, and is the model of all evil, yes. However, he is just to smart to not be awed by. Also, I like him for askin the Speaker for the Dead to write about himself through the ansible. As for Ender, I do like him too, but not a whole lot. I admire him, yes, for his personality and brains, but I'm not sure I like him too much.
I think that the three siblings represent Good, Normal(Vulnerable?), and Bad.

Yes, I agree with you that Valentine is the best. She is the one who always loves another, no matter what the other person does. This is shown with the incident between her and Peter. After I read your blog saying that Ender represents the good, Valentine the vulnerable, and Peter the bad, it hit me that maybe, maybe Card was somehow trying to show the human nature in the novel. As human can be good sometimes, vulnerable, and also bad and cruel.
