After the Lusitanian Rebellion, Valentine decided to move the family to Lusitania to help Andrew and the efforts of the Lusos there. Ro, despite living her whole life on Trondheim, decided to go with Valentine and Jakt.[1]
Xenocide[]
On the voyage to Lustiania, Ro shared a compartment with Plikt and her brother Varsam.[1]
Personality[]
Trivia[]
- The Authorized Ender Companion states that Valentine only had three children, Syfte, Ro, and Varsam. However, in Speaker for the Dead, the three children of Valentine are Syfte, Ren, and Varsam. Ren was never mentioned after Speaker, and his sister Ro appears in Xenocide, who is stated to have been born the same time that Ren was stated to in Speaker.[2][3][1] It seems that Ren was a mistake on Orson Scott Card's part, and that he is supposed to be Ro.
