In The Sandman, the direct opposite of Hope (Dream's sister) is Despair, another of the Endless, representing the complete absence or loss of hope, the bleak moment when all possibilities seem gone, and is often depicted as a dark, cold entity, while Hope embodies the potential for future good.

Once the personification of pleasure and joy, she somehow evolved into Delirium long before the onset of the story for reasons unknown and unexplained.
