It wasn't Gaiman's idea to make Death a cute goth girl. Mike Dringenberg, the artist who worked on the book, based the character on a friend of his named Cinnamon Hadley. It always irked Gaiman that the most popular character in the series was one that he didn't actually design himself so it's not surprising he changed her appearance for the live action adaptation just to be a petty bitch.
