Idea's from Notes
- Would like to use ideas from the "Divine Archer", "Krishna", and "Eastern Legends/Stories"
- "Sita is the daughter of King Janaka" - I would like her to have similar qualities to Sita (caring, giving, selfless, and loyal) Would also like her other grandfather to be more like King Janaka
- "Sita and Lakshmana join Rama on his exile" - At some point I would like to see Tali make her way to where her cousin, Rama, was exiled. It would be cool to see these two characters together
- "The demon in the form of a Giant Crane swallows Krishna but escaped and tore the bird in two" - Since she can control water I would like to see her escape her boat but have to deal with a giant water bird
- "The Syamantaka jewel emits the power of sunlight" - Along her journey (after escape) to find Rama, have her run into the sun god and obtain his jewel
- "The jewel brings happiness to good men and death to evil men" - Have the grandfather who does not likelier steal her jewel and brings him death
- "It burned Sudak to ashes and consumed the city" - On her return have her defeat the fire creature and put out the fires in the city
