Character from enders-game by Orson Scott Card
Novinha's daughter who followed her mother into xenobiology — the person who ultimately created the Recolada, replacing the Descolada virus and saving Lusitania's ecosystem.
Elanora Ribeira is Novinha's oldest daughter and Lusitania's next-generation xenobiologist. She grew up managing a household wrecked by her mother's guilt and her stepfather Marcos's abuse, developing the emotional resilience and scientific rigor that would eventually save a planet. Her greatest achievement: during a journey Outside the universe, she used the formless space to create the Recolada — a replacement for the Descolada virus that would maintain Lusitania's ecosystem without the lethal side effects. This saved both the Pequeninos (who depend on the virus for their life cycle) and the humans on Lusitania.
Young Brazilian woman, resembles her mother. Carries the determined bearing of someone who grew up managing a dysfunctional family while pursuing brilliant scientific work.
