Fun fact: in russian culture, both the grim reaper and the death itself are female. It's “смерть с косой” — literally “the death with scythe”. The word “death” has she/her pronouns.

    Leo Tolstoy's last words were probably attributed to death herself. He said “А вот и ты, дура!” (“here you are, stupid bitch!”)
