- For Reference
- Sita is the avatar of goddess Lakshmi
- Rama is the avatar of the god Vishnu
- now has the Bow of Vishnu given by Varuna (ocean god)
- Lakshmana is married to Sita's younger sister, Urmila
- I like the the relationship between Lakshmana and Rama- the loyalty of all four brothers
- Lakshmana is willing to follow Rama into the forest
- Jatayu- A eagle who can speak like a human and pledges himself to Rama (Dies saving Sita) could be interesting to mix this with Harry Potter
- I really want to explore the concept of dharma in my stories. I really like the idea of a cosmic order
- Hanuman- was an interesting character! I liked that he was so strategic when visiting Ravana. Instead of fighting being paraded through the city he was analyzing the layout of the city to help Rama.
- It would be fun to do a story that featured Hanuman
- Vibheeshana to me is an unsung hero. Even though he is Ravana's brother he tries to help Sita and ultimately joins Rama's army
- It is ironic that Rama ends Ravana's life with a weapon from Brahma, who is the creator of all things
