Description
"Darkness is coming, the time for hope is past..."Once human but no more, she is the Daughter of Darkness, the Devourer of Hope, she is Despair.
Chosen from amongst the most promising members an ancient cult, Despair has been empowered, along with her sisters Devastation and Deception, by the magics of Mother Darkness to be one of her avatars upon the Earth and to work to return the world to a primitive ,chaotic, state and free Mother Darkness from her eons old prison.
Despair couples her fighting skills and dark magic with the ability to read her opponent's minds and force them to face their own guilt, secrets and inadequacies. Despair feeds off the emotional maelstrom her powers create, growing stronger as her opponents weaken.
She is the first Daughter to make her presence known in Verdant, as she works to build a cult of devoted worshipers who try to appease their dark mistress so she will spare them her touch. Despair operates alone for now, but one has to wonder how long it will be before her sisters Devastation and Deception join her and what the cult of Mother Darkness wants from Verdant.
( A new addition to the villain's roster, and appearing here due to popular demand I give you...Despair )

Aah, so much catching-up...
Yikes, her abilities are...I was going to say scary but I suppose that's kind of obvious. Very creative and unusual, as well as a scary enemy she's potentially a useful character exploration tool for her opponents as well. Sometimes subtle methods can be far nastier than brute force...

Thanks Ola
I also have to catch up...finding the time to catch up is the problem
Despair will certainly cause some difficulties, just wait till she and her sisters find out Trance is immune to their mental abilities

Excellent addition to your villain roster.
She seems a tricky costumer.

Thank you. She will prove to be very tricky indeed, especially when her two companions, her cult sisters Devastation and Deception join her

Well Heros are measure by the quality of the enemies they defeat (or are defeated by).

Well...I can only claim credit for commissioning it, but glad you like it

I know, but I still had to comment

She is but the looks come with attitude

Glad you liked it. I commissioned it, the skill involved in creating it came from the artist

Yikes. Well that's an appropriate look for such a character. (shudder)
Still, better-looking than Neil Gaiman's version...

Thanks.
I always thought if Neil was really clever, he would have swapped Despair and Desire's appearance

Well if you think about it, Desire can be for anything...even food, even self harm etc. The idea Desire is good looking is kind of cliched. Despair on the other hand, well a someone who suffers from Depression, Despair is subtle, plays games with you. Having her appear the more attractive of the two would have been a nice trope reversal

I asked the artist to give her some "attitude"
He did a great job

Villains make it even more interesting. these gals aren't related to Dream or Death are they?

As I said to Nath below, mostly on a Buffyverse season "Big Bad" the concept that is rather than a specific one, with a hint of Gaiman thrown in, mostly around the naming convention yes
And though both the Endless and the Daughters have a Despair, no direct relations between the groups

Thanks - It's really just a combination of a Buffyverse early seasons Big Bad concept with a dash of Gaiman

yeah

You asked and we provide

Oh someone just earned himself mega brownie points with YKW

I have to say that she looks like one serious badass! Dark smokin' good looks with and attitude that screams "Touch me and you will be picking your nose with your elbow!" The glimpse into her past shows that her future is going to be hell on the heroines of Verdant!

Thanks Roy, I am glad she is making an impression and yes, you are right. She will make quite an impression on Cassandra and her girls

Looking forward to seeing that happen!

No despair from me - I reckon the clear strain on those buckles means they are bound to fail imminently...

Held on by magic, got to love it

I'd love it even more if her grasp on magic is more tenuous than she thinks it is...

Your chances of persuading me are far more tenuous
