Splitting String Variable Into New Variables

I am creating a script that splits the user input into letters, I have gotten this part down, however, how do I turn these separated letters into individual variables?

message = input("Enter Message)  ")
list = list(message)
print(list)

Whilst this does print out the typed string into letters, I want to know how to turn those split letters into their own variables. e.g (h, e, l, l, o) Is there a way that I can, for example, only print the first letter or the second letter? (so that the letters are split into their own variables)

Just adding some examples:

message = input("Enter Message)  ")

message_characters = list(message)  # do not use single characters as variable names

for i, char in enumerate(message_characters):
    print(f'The {i}{"th" if i>2 or i==0 else "nd" if i==2 else "st"} character is {char}')


# Though note that strings are also iterable:
for i, char in enumerate(message):
    print(f'The {i}{"th" if i>2 or i==0 else "nd" if i==2 else "st"} character is {char}')

You can treat the list as a set 'own variables' (accessing them by index).

message = input("Enter Message)  ")
l = list(message)  # do not use reserved words, as 'list' for variable names
print(l)

print(l[0])  # prints the 1st letter
print(l[1])  # prints the 2nd letter
print(l[-1])  # prints the last letter
print(l[-2])  # prints the letter prior to the last
