POWERS: Despair can cause anyone to feel the total power of Despair. Her 
powers enable her to make any mortal so lethargic that they can do nothing
but sit and bemoan their condition.
NOTES: The current Dispair is not the original. The first aspect of her was
destroyed long ago, possibly before Delight became Delerium. It was the
only time one of the Endless was destroyed. She was replaced by an aspect
of Desire who assumed the role. For this reason, and possibly because the 
originals came into existance at the same time, Desire and Despair are 
often refered to as the twins. Despair is a true macabe spirit. She takes 
no joy in anything. She simple sits in he mirror-filled, misty realm, 
looking through the mirrors at people who have fallen into Despair, and 
being bitten by her rats.
