Character Crash Course: Death of the Endless
This week, we're going to do a breakdown of Death of the Endless. Why? Because she's an absolutely delightful character. What I love about her is how upbeat she is, as well as "skinny and pale and elfin and sweet" according to her creator, Neil Gaiman. She's a beautiful contrast to the other characters of the deep, dark world of the Sandman series. So, let's take a quick look at some things that make her "her."
