The cell door slams.
Chill air. Flagstones curl her bare feet.
Distempered walls sweat damp in the window's narrow light.
She wraps her arms round her rough robe against shivering.
Mould and, faintly, urine sour her nose. That old smell.
Prayer's all that's left.
Sister Ann kneels, smiling

I’ll link below to a piece which says every antagonist should be the hero of his/her own story. That’s great advice if you want to write a complex, interesting antagonist. Why do they think they’re right? What’s likeable about them? Who do they care about? What makes them cry?
