Despair's role will be brought to life on screen by Donna Preston in the Netflix series. Despite being the younger twin of Desire, Despair is a far cry from them.
As suggested by her name, Despair lords over all the human feelings that encapsulate sorrow, hopelessness, anxiety, and fear. Her ominous realm, The Gray Realm, is filled with all things gloomy: enveloped in fog and filled with rats and free-floating mirrors that she peers into to look upon humans in their misery.
Despair's second form (because she had two forms) doesn't wear a single piece of clothing in the comics, though this is not the case in the show. Her magical totem is a hooked ring that she places on her left hand.
