*Despair is Desire's sister and twin. Her skin is clammy; her eyes are the color of the sky on a bleak day; her voice is little more than a whisper. Many years gone, a sect in what is now Afghanistan declared Despair a goddess and proclaimed all empty rooms her sacred places. The sect persisted for two years, until its last adherent finally killed himself, having survived the other members by almost seven months. Despair says little, and is patient. *Source: Back of card
