Cool Big Sis: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Sandman]]'' includes Death, who is the sweetest, gentlest girl anyone could ever meet. While actually the second-oldest among the Endless (Destiny is the oldest) she loves everyone, and everyone, audience included, loves her. She is by far the sanest of the Endless, and is able to provide a pragmatic perspective to her younger brother, the anguished poet Dream. In fact, her very first appearance occurs when he's moping, sitting on a rooftop and throwing breadcrumbs to pigeons, and she appears and makes an attempt to cheer him up. Most importantly, she is extremely badass when it is called for, and is the only one of the Endless who "is bound by no rules." The ironic contrast between the kind and beautiful Death and the typical Grim Reaper archetype is deliberate and effective.
