Line 9:
=== Morpheus ===
[[File:
The protagonist of the series - thin and pale-skinned with black hair and black eyes that mirror eternity; gloomy and melodramatic, has great belief in duty and rules. All-powerful ruler in his domain of dreams, less powerful outside. Had love affairs with several women (including a witch, a goddess, and the queen of the realm of Fairie) over the eons, but all except the most brief affairs ended badly. Fathered a son, Orpheus, with the Muse Calliope. Sentenced his lover Nada to an eternity of imprisonment in Hell for hurting his [[Pride]], and finally forgave her only after 10,000 years.
Line 150:
* [[Now What?]]: What will happen when she finally ''is'' the last living being in the universe? She has an answer, one that's somewhat cryptic: "I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave."
* [[Perky Goth]]: Arguably an [[Ur Example]].
* [[Race Lift]]: While she usually appears as a Caucasian woman in the comics, the [[Netflix]] series shows her as an African-American. Of course, she could likely appear as any race, age, or gender she wanted.
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: Nearly everyone in and out of universe agrees that Death is the most attractive woman in the series.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Meta example. Death was mentioned several times before actually appearing, and Gaiman's writing at first seemed to suggest he intended readers to assume the character was male and menacing... until she actually appeared.
