The term 'Convent Figure' refers to two figures commonly found in convents: an ABBESS and a NUN. An ABBESS is a female religious superior in a convent, typically elected by the other members of the order. A NUN is a woman who has taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and is a member of a religious order. Both the ABBESS and the NUN are important figures in the convent, with the ABBESS having authority over the other members of the order.
