Death (Discworld)
Death is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series and a parody of several other personifications of death. Like most Grim Reapers, he is a black-robed skeleton usually carrying a scythe. His jurisdiction is specifically the Discworld itself; he is only a part, or minion, of Azrael, the universal Death. He has been generally used by Pratchett to explore the problems of human existence, and has become more sympathetic throughout the series.
Discworld characters
Ysabell is the [[adoption|adopted]] daughter of [[Death (Discworld)|Death]], who saved her as a baby when her parents were killed in the Great Nef desert (no explanation has been given as to why he did this; Ysabell said that "He didn't feel sorry for me, he never feels anything... He probably "thought" sorry for me."). When first encountered she is a sixteen-year-old girl with silver hair and silver eyes who, it transpires, has been sixteen for thirty-five Discworld 'years' (no time passes in [[Death's Domain]]). During her encounter with [[Rincewind]] (see below), her behaviour is sufficiently flamboyant as to cause him to believe she is "bonkers". When [[#Mort|Mort]] first encountered Ysabell, he was given the impression of "too many [[chocolate]]s". She also has a fixation for the colour [[pink]].
