Description: Jessica was inspired by the character, Death, in Neil Gaiman's
graphic novel, The Endless. What is attractive
about this character is that she appears to people she meets as a happy,
friendly, sympathetic, comforting personality who wears black jeans, tank tops
and the occasional top hat. This is not the image you have [but ,perhaps would
like to have] of death which seems to be more often than not portrayed as a
'Grim Reaper,' type of entity. When she was in the world of the living - she had
normal coloring, but out of the world she skin was the color of porcelain. Thus,
here, she is tiled in white.
