Young Val was created at exactly the same time and by exactly the same means as Peter, Young Val is also a caricature but one with a very different set of qualities from her brother. Based on Ender's idealization of his sister when she was 13 years old, she is entirely selfless to a fault. Without a life force of her own, Young Val begins to disintegrate early in the novel.
