copyright - Borrowing Characters


Would it be a violation of copyright and/or plagiarism to “borrow” a character from another novel?


For example, I have a short story and want to include as a side character Ender (of Ender’s Game). I would preserve Ender’s name, family, personality, etc. But Ender would only play a small part in the story.


It’s not the brightest idea, but I’m curious if it’s legal in the US.
