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.
