I've recently begun trying to think out a story - some characters (the good guys) are solid in my head and have been for quite a while, but I struggle to find an antagonist that does them justice. It's a fantasy story, a Middle Earth-ish type of setting, and the characters I have are:
Annabelle - A princess, coming of age, trying to learn how to best lead her people. She's more of a shy type, very level-headed and soft-spoken.
Desiree - Annabelle's maid and surrogate mother, though she's only 3 years older. In terms of personality, very hot-tempered and protective.
Ember - A witch, older than all of the other main characters (a bit shy of 40), very powerful and reclusive, but kind. She's an excellent healer, very in tune with nature, and she is dedicated to helping Annabelle in any way she can.
Juvenis - Ember's right-hand woman, a former thief and murderer (though it's rarely talked about and not well-known). She's easily the most threatening and intimidating, but her dedication to Ember is beyond any short description.
I love these characters to death, so I really don't want to ruin their story with a crappy bad guy. I'm trying to avoid cliches as much as I can, and I'm not having a ton of luck. If any of you have any advice or ideas, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
