I don't actually have any characters that are purely "antagonist" or "protagonist"- especially when throwing things like Villain Protagonists and Anti-Heroes into the mix- though I do have some characters that could be considered more morally dubious than others.

The main example would be Cookie Crone, Royal daughter of the candy crone from Hansel and Gretel. She does things for "the sake of evil", yes, but that's because she's been raised to do so and genuinely takes pleasure in the torment of others. She's even the antagonist to several other Royal villains due to her selective nature. Of course, she's mainly antagonistic in regards to her former love interest, Finn. Joséphine and Benoît Frollo are similar in that they have only one main target for their antagonism: their cousin, Mathieu.

Rocky Wolf, Volkova Wolf, and Gudgeon Maid make up my main group of outright bullies. Rocky is the leader who started the "Pack" of bullies due to a want for power combined with a hasty temper. Volkova kind of got sucked into the thing by proxy of being Rocky's favorite relative, while Gudgeon goes along with it to stay on Rocky's good side. Oddly enough, Rocky's rival, Buck Kid, could be considered equally antagonistic due to having a heavy temper of his own. Those knitting needles aren't just for show.

A non-villainy-destined character of mine who could be considered an antagonist is Calla Lain, daughter of a waiting-maid. Of course, she's more of the "smile-in-your-face-and-stab-you-in-the-back" type who's just too eager to get to that second part already. She's particularly hateful toward her young master and a few other students of royal blood and was somewhat inspired by the old "the maid/servant did it" reveal in murder mysteries.

Beau Duckling, son of the Ugly Duckling, is one of your standard, mean-spirited, complaining haters. The thing is, he's reasonably unpopular, so he's often not a serious threat. Prudence Prince is another one of these, though has greater influence among the Royal crowd. Neither seems to notice what a brat they can be at times.

Oddly enough, the characters I consider to be "antagonistic" often end up being my favorite to roleplay; they often end up with a lot more depth than originally intended.
