  Valentine Wiggin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She used the gambit in the hopes that Peter would realize that if the record came out it would not necessarily convict him of anything, but it would be a damaging enough record to keep him out of politics, a realm he wished desperately to enter.
During this time, Valentine recognized that Peter often was trying to manipulate her for his own purposes, though Valentine felt like she was maniupulating Peter as well.
Valentine still wrote with her Demosthenes identity, but instead of being paranoid, she wrote about histories of different cultures on different planets, and in addition, she also applied some concepts to all humankind.

 From Hero to Speaker Of The Dead, Ender's Courageous Journey
Valentine was Ender's special friend and being away from her was very difficult for him.
After Ender left to battle school, Valentine had a hard time adjusting to the fact that Ender was no longer around and that she would probably never seem him again.
Despite the fact that Ender Wiggin possessed an immense amount of courage and that he became a hero when he saved the human species from an alien invasion, his life was unhappy and incomplete until he found a purpose in his life.

Valentine could not begin to understand how "Jane" managed to get so much ansible time for these text transmissions-- and at the same time keep anyone from discovering where these subversive documents were coming from.
In any event, Plikt had stayed with Valentine and her family for all the years since Ender left Trondheim, tutoring the children and helping in Valentine's research, always waiting for the day that the family journeyed to be with Ender-- a day that only Plikt had known would come.
Valentine would have tried further persuasion, but she saw his lips were still moving, though little sound came out.

Valentine did not turn to face her husband; she knew from his voice exactly what expression would be on his face, and so she smiled back at him without turning around.
Ender, Valentine's younger brother, the man she and her family were voyaging to see -- he was the tender one, the brother she loved and, in the earliest years, tried to protect.
Valentine seemed to be studying his face; he felt her gaze on him as an almost palpable thing, like a faint tickling under the skin, inside his brain.

Next the I.F. asked for a girl, hoping Valentine would be less harsh, but she was too gentle, and so they asked for a Third.
This chapter establishes Valentine's importance by showing that she is the only person in the story who truly cares about Ender and the only one whom he will miss.
Without his feelings for Valentine, it is not clear that Ender could maintain that empathy that separates him from his brother.

According to Valentine Wiggin, in her essays as Demosthenes in Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card, “The difference between raman (sentient) and varelse (alien) is not the creature judged, but in the creature judging.
When we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity, it means that we have.” Her quote suggests that it is we as the sentient beings that must see the “soul” in the other being.

In this continuation of Ender Wiggin's story, the Starways Congress has sent a fleet to immolate the rebellious planet of Lusitania, home to the alien race of pequeninos, and home to Ender Wiggin and his family.

 Xenocide
Meanwhile, Qinq-jao stumbles across the hypothetical existence of Jane by tracing the identity of Demosthenes, the pen name of an essayist who has been arguing against the destruction of Lusitania.
Discovering that Demosthenes must be Valentine Wiggin, Ender's brother, Qinq-jao discovers that Valentine has been on a starship for the last thirty years (relative to Path's time; on the ship, only a few weeks have passed).
Because Jane has been publishing the essays on the Nets without transmissions from the ship, Qinq-jao reasons that a sentient computer program is responsible for hiding Demosthenes.

 Text is Self
For example, after Locke and Demosthenes have become major commentators on the world stage (indeed, Valentine later goes on to publish as Demosthenes for millennia through the effects of her relativistic near light-speed travel), their true identities are known no more than when they stated writing, but their connection to the pseudonyms is much stronger.
Yet, with a true text self or a pseudonym in which the plaintiff is heavily invested (for example Valentine's Demosthenes, a personality which she has spent three thousand years building up to mythic status, or Phillip, were he operating as the pseudonymous Hector) the damage to the persona's reputation is emotionally significant.
It is not Valentine's identity (her true text self) because Demosthenes is very deliberately crafted to take on different and sometimes more extreme views.

Having never seen a live rock band, but having heard their favorite songs on the radio, these hothouse siblings formed a trio playing two guitars and drums.
The Wiggin sisters, teenagers from New Hampshire who recorded in the late '60s and early '70s as the Shaggs, had a unique, original musical vision, one that was either complemented or detracted from by the fact that they could barely play their instruments, at least not by conventional Philistine standards.
