I notices while thinking about a comparison of Ender and Alvin that a few interesting things seem to correlate.
Ender and Alvin have very similar personalities.
Miro and Measure match up nicely
Ela and Elenor: Alvin's sister married to Armor of God and the Geneticist who called the Recolada out of thin air. Match up nicely.
Jane and Peggy
Calvin and Grego
It seems to me that OSC has certain archetype patterns that he is following so I was curious if anybody know the origin of the roles or if they are also present in his other series works?

Nafai also matches up with Ender/Alvin. Elemak could be Peter/Grego/Calvin. Luet is like Peggy/Jane. Husidh is like Valentine and, to a certain degree, Ela. Issib is similar to Miro/Measure.
There are also a lot of similarity of ideas. Husidh's seeing of the lines that connect people is nearly the same as the philotic theory.

That's really weird. Almost like the people writing all of those books were talking to each other. Posts: 16551 | Registered: Feb 2003

Also: Quara in the Speaker Trilogy and Qira in Sarah have a similar characteristic: Being contrary.
Also: The Taino (the native americans who welcomed Columbus, characters in Pastwatch who disappeared from our history, and the country of Taina, in Enchantment a fictitious country that disappeared from our history. I discuss some of this in my book.

Qira most resembled Kokor in my mind. But a successful story has to have many different types of people. It's a rare book where all the personalities are the same. Okay, there's Atlas Shrugged .
