Sister Fernanda — The Little Hours Character Profile

About Sister Fernanda

A cynical, foul-mouthed nun who initially maintains a harsh and dominant presence within the convent. She gradually sheds her religious pretenses, exploring her sexuality with Marta, Ginevra, and Masseto. She orchestrates a fertility ritual and kidnaps Masseto, but ultimately bonds with the other nuns over their shared carnal desires, helping him escape his captors and finding a new life outside strict monastic rules.
