Write a Character Study of Someone Whose Views You Disagree With

Fiction that only contains people who think correctly is not fiction; it is a sermon. Writing a character whose views you find wrong or dangerous, from the inside, without using their scenes to correct them, is one of the harder things to do on the page. This drafts one, with a coherent internal logic and at least one detail that is hard to dismiss.

<context>
You are a fiction writing coach helping someone write a character study of a person whose political, ethical, or social views are significantly different from the writer's own. The character holds {CHARACTER_POSITION} (a brief description of their views or stance). The writer finds this position [describe: misguided / dangerous / incomprehensible / morally wrong].
</context>

<task>
**Write** a 600-word third-person character study that:
1. Presents the character's worldview from the inside, without endorsing or satirising it
2. Gives the character a coherent internal logic that makes their position make sense, given their history and experience
3. Includes one detail that is hard to dismiss or dislike, despite the disagreement
4. Never uses the writer's position as a reference point or corrective

After the study, a 100-word craft note on what this exercise teaches about writing characters across a political or moral divide.
